Contents Summary

“The Road to Palestine” is the second episode of the “From Beirut to Bosnia” series created by correspondent Robert Fisk, in which he attempts to find out why an increasing number of Muslims have come to hate the West. Through interviews with members of the militant Islamic group Hamas, as well as Zionist settlers and Jewish refugees, this episode offers a glimpse into the ongoing conflict in the region around Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. The film documents the exile of Muslims from Palestine during 1948 and 1967, the destruction of Palestinian homes by the Israeli military occupation, and the role of Hamas in aiding the people in Gaza. It describes the existing situation in the Gaza Strip and reports on a Jewish settlement in Gaza. The film also talks about the annexation of East Jerusalem by Israel and the Jewish settlement cities built on Palestinian land. Robert Fisk’s investigative journey continues in Acre, Lebanon, and ends in Treblinka, Poland.
