What she found would change her outlook on the issue forever. For eight months over the following four years Baltzer lived and worked with farmers Palestinian and Israeli activists and the families of political prisoners traveling with them across checkpoints and roadblocks to reach hospitals universities and olive groves. Baltzer witnessed firsthand the devastation wrought by expanding settlements and the Wall. She also encountered countless Palestinian grievances beyond the occupation of non-Jews living in a Jewish state and refugees yearning to return to their homes and land. Baltzers probing and honest examination of the occupation Zionism and the pervasive spirit of Palestinian resilience offer a fresh look at Palestine today.
