DESCRIPTION:THE IRON WALL\n\nIn 1923 Vladimir Jabotinsky, leading intellectual of the 
 Zionist movement and father of the right wing of that movement, wrote:  
 "Zionist colonization must either stop, or else proceed regardless of the 
 native population.  Which means that it can proceed and develop only under 
 the protection of a power that is independent of the native population -- 
 behind an IRON WALL, which the native population cannot breach."  From that 
 day these words became the official and unspoken policy of the Zionist 
 movement and later the state of Israel.  Settlements were used from the 
 beginning to create a Zionist foothold in Palestine.  After 1967 and the 
 occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, the aim of the settlement movement 
 became clear -- create facts on the ground and make the creation of a 
 Palestinian state impossible.  Thirty nine years of occupation and the 
 policy started showing results.  There are now more than 200 settlements 
 and outposts scattered throughout the West Bank blocking the geographic 
 possibility of a contiguous Palestinian territory.  This documentary 
 exposes this phenomenon and follows the timeline, size, and population of 
 the settlements, and its impact on the peace process.  It also touches on 
 the latest project to make the settlements a permanent fact on the ground 
 -- the wall that Israel is building in the West Bank and its impact on the 
 Palestinian's peoples.  Settlements and related infrastructures are 
 impacting every aspect of life for all Palestinians from land confiscation, 
 theft of natural resources, confiscation of the basic human rights, 
 creation of an apartheid-like system, to the devastating impact in regards 
 to the future of the region and the prospect of the peace process.  
 Palestinians and Israelis began the peace process based on a very simple 
 principle:  land for peace.  Settlements destroy that principle and create 
 a land with no peace.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411
