Ollie Anisfeld & Roger Walters
SETTLING THE FACTS
Why did we make this documentary? What obstacles did we encounter?
Ollie Anisfield is the creator of J-TV, the online global Jewish media channel. Roger Walters is a British businessman. Together they have produced a remarkable documentary film: Settling
the Facts.
If you've ever looked at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, one of the words that comes up sooner or later is "settlements"
Israel has long pursued a policy of building Jewish settlements on land captured during the 1967 war it insists it has the legal right to do this but most of the world disagrees.
The objective of the film is threefold:
To put a human face on Israeli settlers who are otherwise often portrayed as radical and fanatic.
To explore the question of legality in international law.
To analyse the
idea that settlements are an obstacle to peace.
Who Are These People?
Are They Extreme Ideologues?
Do They Make Peace More Difficult to Achieve?
Introduced by Lynne Nathan with Q&A after the
presentation.
