Cries for  Peace: 
Israeli documentaries that reach across the barriers  separating 
Israelis and Palestinians

"Behind the  Fence"

Thursday, May 24  7:00 PM
Sunnyvale Presbyterian  Church

Guest commentator:   Mitchell Plitnick
Director of Education and Policy, Jewish Voice for  Peace



"Behind the Fence", Part 3 of the  controversial Israeli television  
documentary series "Land of the Settlers", deals with the Wall that Israel is  
constructing in the West Bank on Palestinian land.  Noted television  commentator 
Haim Yavin follows the Wall and shows its impact on Israelis, on  settlers from 
both sides of the Wall, and on Palestinians. While many Israelis  gained a 
sense of peace and security as the number of terrorist attacks went  down, the 
Palestinians in the villages and cities along the Wall saw a marked  increase in 
their level of suffering as their access to their land became  limited and in 
some cases stopped altogether. Yavin talks to Israelis involved  in building 
the Wall and to Palestinians being affected by it. This part also  presents 
some of the activities of Israelis and international peace activists  against the 
Wall.

Jewish Voice for Peace Policy Director Mitchell  Plitnick will  be available 
for almost an hour of commentary and Q & A following the one  hour film. With 
events moving so rapidly in Israel/Palestine these days, we  welcome the 
opportunity to hear Mitchell's thoughts not only on the Wall, but on  the overall 
current situation in the region.
