H2: The Occupation Lab

Содржина

H2 is the name given to the eastern part of Hebron, the only Palestinian urban area which remains under full Israeli military control, due to the presence of several hundred settlers. Here, along a one-Kilometer road, lies the Cave of the Patriarchs, where Jews and Muslims believe their common father, Abraham, is buried. Here the massacre of 1929, which some see as "year zero" of the conflict, took place; here the Jewish settlement movement was born; and a policy of ethnic separation was first tested and implemented. Through rare archive footage and interviews with Hebron's military commanders, "H2: The Occupation Lab" tells the story of a place which is both a microcosm for the entire conflict, and a test lab for methods of control implemented in the West Bank.
