So, for some reason YouTube won't give me the code to embed this video for all of you, so here is the link that you can see it at!

People and the Land is a documentary put out by the PBS filmmaker Tom Hayes in 1997, detailing the Israeli occupation of Palestine. A good portion of the footage that they got while in Israel and Palestine was taken by the Israeli police when the reporters tried to leave the country. When leaving to make the documentary, Hayes was hoping to get an unbiased view of what was going on in Israel, and after visiting and seeing firsthand the atrocities that are happening, such as buildings being bulldozed and ambulances being stopped at the border just because their injured passengers were Palestinian. The resulting hour long documentary (the above link is to the first 10 minutes - if interested, you can find the other 5 parts on youtube as well) has been played on some PBS stations and at some universities, but the majority of stations refused to play the film, caving into pressure from Pro-Israel and Pro-Zionist lobbyists. For an unedited and uncensored look, you can read in Tom Hayes' own words, the story of making this documentary ( http://www.adc.org/thelink.pdf ). If you haven't learned a lot about both sides of the story, I strongly suggest you watch this documentary. It's shocking to see even a glimpse of the way Palestinians living in the occupied territories live. Take the time - its an eye opener.

It was an eye-opener. I had no idea that these people were being treated this way, and to some extent i did not even know about the struggle that these people were facing. It is horrible the way they are being treated and something needs to happen so that these people can live without prejudice. If you could suggest something that could be done in order to try and fix the problem, what would you do?
