<b>*The Iron Wall*</b><br>
58 minutes<br>
<br>
In 1923, Vladmir Jabotinsky – father of the Zionist right – wrote:<br>
"<i>Zionist colonization… can proceed and develop only under the <br>
protection of a power that is independent of the native population – <br>
behind an IRON WALL, which the native population cannot breach.</i>"<br>
<br>
>From that day on, these words became the official and unspoken policy <br>
of the Zionist movement and, later, the State of Israel. Colonies,
often <br>
referred to as "settlements," were used to solidify the Zionist
foothold <br>
throughout historic Palestine.<br>
<br>
Following the 1967 occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, more than 200 <br>
settlements and outposts have been built in these territories, in <br>
violation of international law. "<b>The Iron Wall</b>" exposes this <br>
phenomenon and follows the timeline, size, and population of the <br>
settlements, reveals how their construction has been a cornerstone of <br>
Israeli policy, and demonstrates how the Wall secures them as permanent
<br>
and irreversible facts on the ground.<br>
<br>
This documentary warns that a contiguous and viable Palestinian state
is <br>
becoming no longer possible, and that the chances for a peaceful <br>
resolution of the conflict are slipping away.<br>
<br>
"<b>The Iron Wall</b>" features interviews with prominent Israeli and <br>
Palestinian peace activists and political analysts, including Jeff <br>
Halper, Akiva Eldar, Hind Khoury, and others. Also included are <br>
eye-opening interviews with Israeli settlers and soldiers, and <br>
Palestinian farmers.<br>
<br>
<i>"This is a powerful film exposing one of the most pressing issues of
<br>
the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. It is imperative that it gets a wide <br>
audience, and that efforts are mobilized to subvert a catastrophic <br>
outcome.</i>" ~Jean-Jacques Joris, head of the Swiss Representative
Office <br>
to the Palestinian Authority<br>
