H2: The Occupation Lab
By Idit Avrahami & Noam Sheizaf
The film, based mostly on Israeli archival footage and interviews with military leaders and on interviews with two local Palestinian protagonists, narrates how the town of Hebron / Al-Khalil has served as a laboratory for the Israeli occupation of the West Bank since 1967. Because of the cooptation of a small local elite, the expulsion of nationalist leaders, and a slew of military orders, aspirations for local democratic life have been entirely thwarted. Various graphic scenes, including the dramatic footage of the 1994 massacre, explain how colonization by a small religious fringe has entirely blocked Palestinian daily life in part of the city..
