I saw this amazing documentary the other day, and was blown away.
Occupation 101 is a frighteningly unbiased view of the conflict in the Middle East as seen from the eyes of outside observers from the Red Cross, the U.N. and other groups.
What the Israeli’s have actully been doing to the Palestinians for over a hundred years is far different than what we see on television here in the United States. What we have been told is a conflict thousands of years old, is actually a brutally violent military occupation.
Thousands of years? The conflict started in the early 1900’s when early Zionists laid claim to, bulldozed, and built new towns on Arab land based on centuries old religious based claims.
As one friend pointed out, 90 minutes is a big commitment for a video. Watch the first 15 or 20 minutes and see if the rest is worth it. I think it is.
