SUMMARY

Ben, an Israeli Jew living in Tel Aviv, continues to support the Palestinian struggle, even though almost no Israelis still do. In the last five years, he has found himself a political home away from home – the small village of Nabi Saleh in the West Bank, where the local group of activists continues to resist the ongoing theft of their land and water. With this small community who took him in, Ben participates in the weekly Friday demonstrations and keeps believing that co-resistance leads to co-existence – that life together is possible when one only, as the activists of the village say, removes the occupation from one’s head.
