160. INSIDE ISRAEL
Israeli citizen and Peace Now activist Ilan Ziv gives us
startling insights into the psychology of his country's
leaders and citizens. He also evaluates the peace movement in
Israel and the peace protests within the Israeli armed forces.
Most revealing, however, is his analysis of the great affect
the Holocaust had on the Israeli psyche--particularly that of
this generation of Israeli leaders- which has caused severe
psychological distortions, resulting in a country and
leadership unlike no other on earth.

288. NAZARETH IN AUGUST
We almost never see anything on television about what life is
like in Isreal from the point of view of the Palestinians who are
living there. New York activist Dan Walworth presents such
information with his documentary "Nazareth in August". Filmed in
Israel, the documentary shows the impoverished living conditions of
the Palestinians and the discrimination which they face daily.
The history of Israel is provided, emphasizing what happened to the
Palestinians in the process, especially the confiscations of their
lands. Also shown are the various ways of self-help which the
Palestinians have undertaken in the attempt to improve their
situation. Not only are Palestinian spokespeople presented, but
"liberal Israelis" speak out against the domestic and foreign
policies of Israel.

398. PALESTINIAN UPDATE
A Palestinian woman who is now a U.S. citizen and a Jewish woman
who was born in Palestine and came to America at the end of
the British mandate discuss the current situation in the
occupied territories of the West Bank and Gaza. We get an
update containing startling information as to what is happening in
the Intifada and the opposition among Israeli citizens to the
occupation and behavior of the Jewish settlers and army. The
women also analyze the reaction to the situation by Jews in
the U.S. who are torn between loyalty to Israel and their own
sense of ethics and justice. Additionally, we discuss the
American mass media, which do not present criticism of Israel,
even though there is criticism in the Israeli press
itself.
