Pilger: "Palestine is Still the Issue" [video]
"Twenty-five years ago, I made a film called 'Palestine Is Still The Issue.' It was about a nation of people - the Palestinians - forced off their land and later subjected to a military occupation by Israel. An occupation condemned by the United Nations and almost every country in the world, including Britain. But Israel is backed by a very powerful friend, the United States. So in 25 years, if we're to speak of the great injustice here, nothing has changed. What has changed is that the Palestinians have fought back."
