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."

One of the aspects of this video that hit me the most was how the life of normal people can suddenly change overnight. Take for example the case that Terry makes about pregnant women that instead of taking five minutes to go to the hospital, now take more than half an hour. I cannot understand how people can be deprived of the most basic human rights such as the availability of health care with no one doing anything to stop it. Terry is right when she says that they are considered less than huma

ISRAELI APARTHEID WILL BE DEFEATED. THE WALL SHALL FALL

It is so important that people speak up like this brave woman! At the same time it is frustrating and depressing to know and hear witnessess on that this occupation and oppression on Palestinians keep getting worse. In the end, the mask of security will probably backfire because the only thing it does is to provoke even more and create bigger and bigger divides and frustration.

@fra22fra64 Israel is awesome! you should go visit some time,

Don't forget Jewish land ownership in Palestine was just 2 percent and it was increased to 6 percent in 1947(as they had tried to buy as much land as possible).

Rest of the land was mostly belonged to locals. Palestinians

So it is obvious that your terrorist country "Israel" (the country stole the biblical name israel to justify its terror activities ) was created on stolen Palestinian land by uprooting millions of Palestinians(it was preplanned) from their homes

In 1914 Palestinian had population 689000 and despite of large jewish immigration from eastern Europea Arabs were remained majority in population

70000 christians 525000 Muslims

See how its easy to expose the cheap Jewish liars inventing new myths to defend their terror activities on the land that belong to other people

[Anuntoldchapter1]

Jewish myth posted by cheap jew liar avivia6

"conquered Palestine in 1917/18, only about 5000 Arabs resided here. Other Moslems in the area either came from Turkey under the Ottoman Empire"

Truth

the population of Palestine in 1850 had about 350,000 inhabitants,roughly 85% were Muslims, 11% were Christians and 4% Jews
