Israel’s detractors often paint the security barrier, and the checkpoints that accompany it, as tools Israel uses to oppress the Palestinians. This documentary investigate the real story behind the checkpoints and their existence, and examines the rational behind the checkpoints and the effects it has on Israelis.

I have no doubt that there are plenty of Palestinians who, like most of us, just want a little peace of mind and the ability to raise their families free from fear. What is obvious, however, is that the media has successfully brainwashed the world into thinking that their lack of peace is caused by Israeli brutality which couldn’t be farther from the truth. Unfortunately showing all the humanitarian acts Israel does on a constant basis with the Palestinians just doesn’t make “good”news. Lets face it there are a lot of people out there who just love to hate anything Jewish and do so in a blatent, self righteous way. This video was made by a Palestinian
