Richard Hugus, a founding member of the New England Committee to Defend Palestine, visited the West Bank and Gaza last summer and documented life under Israeli occupation. His film includes extensive footage of the destruction of Jenin refugee camp in the spring of 2002 and eyewitness accounts from the people who live there. "Israel is actually enforcing concentration camp conditions in large parts of the country, conducting a war of attrition in which it starves, harasses, arrests, humiliates, shoots at, assassinates, and demolishes the homes of Palestinians, in order to force them off their land. Israel's claim to the rest of the world that it acts for the sake of its own security is untrue. Instead, it uses security as a justification for a war against a defenseless people, waged with U.S. funding." -- Richard Hugus Sponsored by Justice for Palestine, HLS | www.justiceforpalestine.org and New England Committee to Defend Palestine | www.onepalestine.org
