Since 2005, citizens of Bil’in, a Palestinian village located near the West Bank, have held weekly, non-violent demonstrations against the building of the Israeli separation wall through the community’s agricultural lands and the encroachment of illegal settlements. We’ll talk with Iyad Burnat, head of the Bil’in Popular Committee and a leader in the Bil’in village’s non-violent resistance movement. Emad Burnat, Iyad’s brother, is up for an Academy Award this weekend for his documentary on the movement, 5 Broken Cameras.
