Wall: A Monolgoue
By David Hare, presented by The New York Review of Books
Renowned playwright David Hare traveled throughout the West Bank to see the Israeli wall first-hand. This monologue, performed on-stage in New York and London, puts the grim facts on the ground into vivid language.
 
An Arsenal of Believers
By Nasra Hassan, The New Yorker
An investigative report looks deep inside the lives of suicide bombers, who they are, how they're chosen, and why Gaza has an endless supply. Hassan spent years earning the trust of his subjects to provide this incredible report.
 
Visit Palestine
Directed by Katie Barlow
In a documentary from Journeyman Pictures, peace activist Caihome Butterly puts herself in the line of fire beside ordinary Palestinians in Jenin, a West Bank city under seige by Israeli tanks and soliders.
 
The Palestinians
Photographs by James Nachtwey for Time Magazine
Nachtwey is truly one of the greatest living war photographers. His work is both shocking and beautiful, a combination that bonds audiences with the subjects and issues at hand. This series takes politics and religion out of the Israeli-Palestinian question, focusing instead on the struggle each individual faces knee-deep in crisis.
