Program Topic: Palestinian nonviolent struggle in the occupied West Bank
*Palestinians paint on the separation Wall and take photographs of daily life to tell their own stories about living under Israeli occupation.
*Weekly demonstrations against the Israeli occupation continue in the form of street protests; the Israeli Defense Force responds with tear gas and bullets.
*Israeli demolitions of Palestinian homes and other structures increased in 2011; Palestinians continue to rebuild.
*Women have taken on a greater income-generating role for their families, while preserving the Palestinian tradition of embroidery, by organizing a women’s embroidery cooperative.
