On Amy Goodman’s “Democracy Now!”, celebrated novelist and Pulitzer-Prize winner Alice Walker points out that Palestinians in the Occupied Territories under Israeli control face conditions much worse than those suffered by African-Americans in the Old South under Jim Crow.

For more on Israeli checkpoints on the West Bank and the circumscribed lives of Occupied Palestinians, see the documentary “Hard Crossings.”
