Cluster bomb duds that shouldn't exist

Cluster bomb duds that shouldn't exist:

"An Australian Activist along with the UN shows us Cluster bombs that are very dangerous and old that should have not been used. He goes over the field showing you for every couple of meters there are cluster bombs duds that are all armed and have not blown up. Proving the fact that M85 self destruct mechanism simply does not work. The wind can blow it up; you can accidentally step on it and die. Although these are only found in the South of Lebanon, they are carpeted all over the South. Israel has still to this day refused to give Lebanon and the UN maps of where they dropped cluster bombs and as well, where they had planted mines over during the 1982 Invasion and the occupation of South Lebanon up to 2000."

A Palestinian Describes How He Was Tortured in Israeli Prison

Palestinian Says He Was Tortured in Israeli Prison:

http://www.btselem.org/english/Video/

According to his testimony, in April 2005, Luai was the victim of torture at the hands of the Israeli Security Agency (formerly known as the General Security Service). In this testimony, he describes the methods used during his interrogation. These include the painful tightening of handcuffs, binding him into painful positions, such as the 'banana bend', for extended periods of time and over a number of days, resulting in the fracturing of a few vertebrae in his lower back. As a direct result of this fracture, one of his legs became totally paralyzed and the other partially. www.btselem.org

A Palestinian Woman

A Palestinian Woman:
"This documentary short film brings the viewer close to the conditions isolating Palestinians within their communities. It is filmed next to the separation barrier that Israel continues to build in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Terry Boulatta, mother, teacher and community activist, shows how the 27 foot high wall surrounds her neighborhood in East Jerusalem, dividing it from the adjacent community of Abu Dis, severing the historical bonds of the two communities. The wall contributes to the suffocation of life, the latest reality for Palestinians under occupation.

Terry takes us on a half hour drive to get from one side of the wall to the other, a trip that previously took only four minutes. We learn of the terminals and checkpoints through which Palestinians must pass to travel within their own territory.

Terry speaks of the illegal settlements and land confiscations as elements of apartheid, making the settlers 'the masters of the land.'

Wall of Shame:

Wall of Shame:

"The wall being constructed on the West Bank by the Israeli government is twenty-five feet high. Studded with guard towers and armaments, and encrusted with high-tech sensors, the wall cuts across the land, separating Palestinians from their own farms, their own neighbors, and from the Israeli settlements which have sprung up rapidly as a result of lavish subsidies from the Israeli government. Alternate Focus cameraman Rodney Devereux brings us face-to face with the wall and all its implications.

Off The Charts

Like most Americans, Alison Weir, the editor of a small-town newspaper in California, knew very little about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, other than what she had gleaned from the evening news or newspaper headlines. As a journalist, her attention was on issues much closer to home. Neither a muslim nor a jew, she nevertheless became more curious about the topic of the Palestinian uprising. And as she researched it, she became increasingly suspicious that the American media were not telling us the whole story. Months later, she traveled to the occupied territories as an independent journalist to find out for herself what the U.S. media seemed to be omitting. Three months after returning from Palestine, Alison Weir quit her job and founded If Americans Knew, an organization dedicated to quantifying the ways in which the American media was misinforming the public about the conflict. Ms. Weir explains her group's methodology, analyzes the data, and reports on the key findings. Producers: Paul Chek and John Odam (2006)

House demolition in Anata

House demolition in Anata:

"On July 17, 2007, volunteers at the Summer Rebuilding Camp sponsored by ICAHD-USA witnessed the Israeli government demolish a nearby Palestinian family's house.

Every year the Israeli government demolishes around 300 Palestinian houses in order to expand illegal Israeli settlement construction.

This policy of settlement expansion, land confiscation, and demolition of Palestinian houses forms the biggest obstacle to peace. ICAHD-USA is working to end these policies."
