Decades-long forced and illegal displacement. Daily lives are defined by Palestinians' refusal to abandon their land in the face of enormous Israeli pressure.
Ethnic cleansing… The abuse of Palestinian communities is beyond the comprehension of those who have not witnessed it. Daily physical or psychological violence from the Jewish settlers, under the protection of the occupation forces.
The Israeli Civil Administration systematically demolishes schools, houses, tents, animal shelters, water sources... a constant land theft... the military conducts live-fire artillery and armor training directly beside Palestinian communities.
This is a sonic journey - diary - map which follows some of those who resist firmly.
