This film contains discussions and depictions of violence in the West Bank, Occupied Palestine. Some viewers may find the content of this film distressing.
“Israel is always looking to drive Palestinians into smaller and smaller spaces. To make them invisible, to deny them resources, deny them chances and ultimately to try and force them out.”
- Jonathan Cook, Freelance Journalist
In Israel, East Jerusalem, and the West Bank, the law is whatever Israel deems to be in the best interest of Jewish Israelis and to the detriment of Palestinians. Israel violates the civil and human rights of Palestinians as a matter of standard, accepted policy. However, there are brave, determined individuals who are trying to expose the destructive, unjust, and sometimes invisible ways in which Israel exploits and oppresses Palestinians.
Through the voices and stories of 8 people, The Law and the Prophets explains the mechanisms of control that Israel deploys to subjugate Palestinians. These mechanisms, some violent and some nonviolent, have been perfected through decades of civil and military rule of Palestinians both within Israel, and in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
