Imperial Geography
April 4, 2008
Great short film on the history and geography of the Israel-Palestine conflict by David Barsamian.
The battle over Palestine is one of the most intensely geographic conflicts in the world. Yet most people know nothing of the area and what factors make it so intensely important to the imperialist powers. David Barsamian takes a look at the maps to provide a sweeping history of the current and historic forces that are shaping the so-called “Holy Land,” sacred to three of the worlds great religions, a land drenched not with holy water but holy oil.

I liked this one, I wonder if they could add a short section at the end to bring it up to date.
