Recent Video shot by Indymedia activists in Palestine  during the
summer of 2002.

Two 60 min  tapes available

http://nyc.indymedia.org/video-v2.php3

Tape 1  Bethlehem and Jenin:     Eyewitness video from the Bethlehem
area during the very first days of  the unprecedented Israeli
assaults on the West Bank.  The ISM   - International Solidarity
Movement- and other activists under fire. This tape gives good first
hand impression of life on the ground during these difficult and fast
changing days.
      Also exclusive video from Jenin Refugee camp shot in April while
the camp was still under occupation!  The video maker snuck thru the
Israeli soldiers lines to capture  powerful verite  video-the very
first to be shot inside the camp after the Israeli attacks.  A
compelling document from the controversial camp...see the evidence
for yourself.

Tape 2:   inside the Palestinian  Presidential compound during the
siege of  April and May!   The video maker and other international
activists were able to rush thru the Israeli lines and enter the
compound to join PNA President Yasser Arafat and over 150 Palestinian
men inside.  An exclusive look at the siege from the inside!
     Also included in this tape a sampling of IMC and Palestinian
produced video including a short 11min video from Jerusalem during
this years Jerusalem day celebrations.  Each year  thousands of
religious Jewish settlers march thru the Muslim sections of the old
city and gather at the wailing wall   (just below the Al Aksa Mosque)
to celebrate the "liberation" of Jerusalem from the "Arabs" in 1967.
