Rooted in the West Bank
a documentary film by Bruno Sorrentino & Uri Fruchtmann
25 years of resisting Israeli settler violence in the West Bank

"Atta Jaber’s family has farmed the Beqa'a Valley in the occupied West Bank for hundreds of years, but since Israel’s 1967 occupation, their land has been confiscated piecemeal by Israeli settlers, and their homes and ancient farming terraces attacked and demolished. 'The sound of the bulldozer is the music of the occupation,' says Atta, yet he preaches love and peace. Uniquely spanning 25 years in a farmer’s struggle to stay steadfast, this film is a moving testimony to the depth of one man’s humanity in the face of intensifying settler violence and intimidation. "The film also features ICAHD activists rebuilding the Jaber’s home and Jeff Halper confronting the Israeli army. Thus, it captures our relationship with the Jaber family that began in 1998 and with our commitment to them that has spanned all these years."

"Jeff also comments on the important judgements from the ICJ and ICC, including the arrest warrants issued for Netanyahu and Gallant. But what is missing is enforcement so that is why civil society has a role to play in what now unfolds."
