• A Week in Gaza – In May 2008, George Bush flew to the Middle East in another effort to revive peace talks between Israeli and Palestinian leaders.

In this series of videos and articles, the Guardian reports on the effects of the crisis on the ordinary people of Gaza.
• Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land: Israel & Palestine — Over 3 million Palestinians live under a military occupation that has been illegal under international law for over 40 years.

• Basics on the Israeli Occupation — Does the network news coverage available to Americans reflect the reality on the ground? This investigative documentary clip examines the intricacies of Israel’s military occupation of Palestinians land, and sheds light on some of the most pressing questions surrounding this topic. (Running time: 6:15)
• Jimmy Carter on Israel-Palestine –  In this video commentary, former President Jimmy Carter elaborates on his reasons for comparing the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip to South African Apartheid, which enforced minority, white-only rule over South Africa from 1948 to 1994. (Running time: 6:54)
