Budrus

Budrus, a village of 1,500 residents, was determined to use peaceful protests to prevent the Israeli Defense Department from building a security fence that would separate the village from the rest of the West Bank.

There is a new political moment in Palestine and the Arab world, which allows a different discussion than in the past, and rehashing old shibboleths isn't likely to help the Palestinian people win their freedom.

Budrus demonstrates not only the anatomy of nonviolent resistance in Palestine but also the evolution of the movement as it grows from a village matter to an international cause.
