Israel violates the civil and human rights of Palestinians as a matter of standard, accepted policy. However, this film follows brave determined individuals who are trying to expose the destructive, unjust, and sometimes invisible ways in which Israel exploits and oppresses Palestinians.THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS explores the ways in which Israel interacts with Palestinians, shedding light on different methods, both violent and nonviolent.The film examines the historical context of civil and military governance in Israel, East Jerusalem, and the West Bank.
