| Salman Abu Sitta: The Geography of Occupation |
 |
Professor Salman H. Abu-Sitta of the
London-based Palestine Land Society gives a
personal account of how he became a refugee
in Palestine in 1948. Using data from his
research, Abu-Sitta shows how over 600
Palestinian villages were systematically
depopulated by the advancing Israeli forces,
leaving many others dismembered by an
arbitrary cease-fire line. With maps and
demographic statistics, Abu-Sitta shows that,
in effect, Zoinist policies were an ethnic
cleasing campaign that resulted in a massive
transfer of native Palestinians to the
countries bordering Israel, where thousands
remain within 100 miles from their original
communities. Producer: Ed Sweed

| Occupation 101 |
 |
'Occupation 101' presents a comprehensive
analysis of the facts and hidden truths
surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict;
and dispels many of its long-perceived myths
and misconceptions. The film also details
life under Israeli military rule, the United
States' role, and sheds light on the major
obstacles which stand in the way of a lasting
and viable peace.
Unlike any other film ever produced on the
conflict --- 'Occupation 101' explains the
situation in a comprehensive manner and gives
audiences a complete context in which to
better understand the Israeli-Palestinian
encounter. The film depicts the root causes
of the conflict through Israeli, Jewish,
Christian, Muslim, American, and Palestinian
voices that are rarely ever heard through
mainstream media outlets.
The film covers a wide range of topics --
which include -- the first wave of Jewish
immigration from Europe of the 1880's, the
1920 tensions, the 1948 war, the 1967 war,
the first Intifada of 1987, the Oslo Peace
Process, Settlement expansion, the role of
the United States Government, the second
Intifada of 2000, and also covers the recent
Gaza Disengagement of August 2005.
