Torrent description

1. Fourty years on (after the 1967 war):
Israeli and Palestinian children are fed hatred and
stereotypes from a very early age onward. People from
the other side are often portrayed as heartless killing
machines, animals without a sense of human decency,
who just want grab all the land and exterminate the
other nation.
With this brainwashing and often little or no contact
with people from the other side is it really suprising
that when there is a direct encounter there is usually
great aprehension and high levels of stress on both
sides?

2+3. Burning Conscience, Israeli Soldiers Speak Out:
Some Israeli veterans have been thinking about their
experiences with the Palestinian population and have
realized that some of time what they or fellow
soldiers had done actually constituted crimes of war.
But the Israeli public has been quite unaware of the
level of brutality and hardship experienced by the
Palestinians.
So it was a big step when some of the soldiers spoke out
in public about the full extent of repression and terror
against the Palestinian people and exhibited photos and
video statements made by soldiers documenting the sad
reality. It doesn't just hurt the Palestinians but also
the Israeli soldiers.

4. Combatants for Peace:
Equally courageous were meetings of Israeli veterans
with former Palestinian fighters to try to break the
vicious cycle of violence and retaliation by getting
to know each other, becoming friends and setting a
positive example.

5. Mother Courage, checking the checkpoints:
Some Israeli women have decided to try to humanize the
regime of controlls at the checkpoints where Palestinians
are often forced to wait for hours or sometimes even
days, in some cases only to be told that they can't
pass after all. Tensions run high on both sides and
and calming mediator is often helpfull, especially if
there is a language barrier.

7. Jeff Halper, Israeli human rights activist:
Jeff Halper (co-founder of the Israeli Committee Against
House Demolition) explains the message the Israeli government
is sending to Palestinians through expropriation of land,
house demolition, displacement and segmentation of the
occupied West Bank by checkpoints, Jewish settlements
and the Wall.
