Whose Land?-- UN Resolution 342 and the Status of Jerusalem
Thanks to Hugh Kitson of Title Deed Media for sharing the latest episode of Whose Land. CAEF invites you to watch Episode 14 of the documentary series on Israel and the rights of the Jewish people. Listen to outstanding legal experts: Avi Bell, Jacques Gauthier, Eugene Kontorovich, Alan Baker, Natasha Hausdorff, and more. Narrated by Col Richard Kemp and covering historical and legal facts, it is clear that there was never a state of Palestine and that Israel has never been illegally occupying any land.
Coming up in September, CAEF will premier Episode 15. Watch for information.
