 |
'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.

| 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
