Hand Grenade in Gaza (1970)
Rimon Be'aza
This piece of reportage for Israeli television examines the background of supposed Palestinian terrorism against Israelis in the Gaza Strip. Images of Palestinian workers packed into trucks in a long queue at the Erez Checkpoint, waiting for hours to enter Israel, are followed by images of Palestinian agricultural labourers, locked in an oppressive feudal system and willing to exchange their miniscule salaries for the bonus given for planting bombs.
