The dynamics of the Israel-Palestine conflict are increasingly being defined by the 700-km wall encircling Palestinian communities in the West Bank and Gaza. The Wall has fundamentally altered and reshaped the possibilities and challenges of both the armed struggle and the popular resistance to Israel's occupation.
Writer and photojournalist Jon Elmer, based in Bethlehem, speaks about Palestine, the Wall, political prisoners (particularly in light of the recent prisoner exchange), and the future for Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation.
Jon Elmer is a Canadian journalist based in the Middle East since 2003. He is a regular contributor to Al Jazeera English, Le Monde diplomatique and Inter Press Service news agency. He is currently based in Bethlehem.
