How Israel Exploits Palestinian Land and Expels the Palestinian PopulationDiscussion with Amit Gilutz on the human rights work of B’Tselem, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, including its citizenship journalism project. We discuss the human rights impact of the separation barrier and the demarcation of the Palestinian peoples into separate Occupied Territories. We also discuss the Israeli manufactured water and sewerage crisis in the Gaza Strip and the continued exploitation of resources and expulsion of Palestinian communities in the West Bank. In addition, we discuss the dual system of law in the West Bank, the application of military law to Palestinians, the continued use of administrative detention and collective punishment and the lack of accountability for Israel as an occupying power. Additionally, we discuss the need for international pressure upon Israel to end the occupation.
