Sunday, June 10th marks four decades of Israel’s illegal military occupation of Palestine, against a backdrop of nearly sixty years of ethnic transfer and displacement.
On this national Pacifica special, producers from around the country investigate the cause and effect of Israel’s continuous military occupation policies toward the Palestinians, which permeates every aspect of life — from the suffocating checkpoints and land theft inside the West Bank to the violence and chaos inside a hermetically-sealed Gaza strip; to the issues of identity and culture in a widening diaspora.

Individual stories are far better for communicating the reality of the occupation than reports, statistics, and speeches. PalCast re-broadcasts Sarah Olson’s documentary on agriculture and health care from 2004.
As the Christian world prepares to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ tomorrow, residents of the holy land are still waiting for peace. Palestinians are facing increased pressure from the occupation, and a continuation of Israeli policies of land confiscation, restrictions on movement, home demolitions and the denial of access to health care, education, and community. In this half hour documentary produced by FSRN correspondent Sarah Olson, we zero in on agriculture issues related to the settlements and the Wall Israel is building in and around the West Bank. We look at Palestinian access to health care and the difficulties of living through daily checkpoints and home demolitions. We hear the stories of Palestinians living in the West Bank, their experience of occupation, and what they are doing to challenge their situation.
