Synopsis

Considered by many as the Palestinian white oil, stone is the most sought-after raw natural material in Palestine. Unfortunately, much of the Palestinian industry is held hostage by Israeli builders, including matters related to Israeli construction within the occupied territories. Furthermore, the massive extraction of stone has a significant environmental, social, and medical impact on nearby villages, cities, and fields. Every protest from Palestinian citizens against the exploitation of stone by Israel is still largely ignored, both by the International Community and Palestinian officials, who are unable to halt the development that this extractive sector has undertaken.
