Many walls separate Palestinians and Israelis—walls of concrete, of mistrust, of ignorance, of fear. This film follows a group of Americans led by a rabbi from Vermont who traveled to Israel and Palestine in 2016 to see what life is like for Palestinians in the Occupied Territories and in East Jerusalem.

This Free Event commemorates the 75th Anniversary of the Nakba

On May 15th, 1948 Israel became an independent state. Contrary to Israeli versions of the story, Palestinians did not voluntarily abandon their homes. 250,000 already had been forcibly removed by Jewish militias before that date; 500,000 more were evicted by the Israel military. In the months surrounding Israel’s creation, Zionist forces committed at least 30 intentional massacres, killing thousands of unarmed Palestinians; 531 villages were destroyed.
In commemoration of the Nakba (catastrophe in Arabic), Vermonters for Justice in Palestine, The Episcopal Peace Fellowship of Burlington, and Green Mountain Solidarity with Palestine invite you to view a film produced by Old Dog Documentaries based in Woodstock, Vermont.

Seeing through the Wall invites and challenges viewers to question their own assumptions and prejudices about Palestine/Israel.
