Ezra Schwartz, Asher Palmer, Naftali Fraenkel and others are American-Israelis or children of American-Israelis who were murdered by Palestinians in the West Bank. Where their murderers survived, they were brought to trial in the Israeli military West Bank Courts. The Palestinian side of the story is also told, including where Israeli military West Bank Courts ruled in favor of Palestinians. One central issue hanging over these twilight zone courts is how they address Palestinian terrorism against Israelis and American-Israelis. Another is trying to find a balanced truth with complex issues like dealing with Palestinian minors like Ahed Tamimi - who has rallied anti-Israel fervor across the globe -- hunger strikes and administrative detention. Justice in the West Bank? A Black, White and Gray Zone is a book and documentary project and the first-ever insider look at the West Bank justice system. It is also a balanced, human story, which follows the key legal personalities of the West Bank courts and their interactions in the high-profile cases that have come to define the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Top IDF officials signed off on special never-before-given access to the chief West Bank prosecutor Maurice Hirsch, a South African-born, England-raised Jew whose parents were arrested and forced to flee for fighting against the apartheid regime in the late 1980s. Also weighing in, is the former chief justice Aharon Mishnayot who ushered in major reforms to expand Palestinian rights as well as several of the leading Jewish, Christian and Muslim attorneys who vigorously defend the Palestinians. Through this multi-lens perspective, we see up close and personal how Israels national security needs are weighed against her responsibilities as a democracy in the most complicated and notorious recent cases. We explore the fate of several dozen Palestinians who were convicted of murder, such as the rock throwing killer of American-Israeli Palmer, were sentenced to life in prison and then were released in the landmark Gilad Schalit prisoner exchange. Some were subsequently rearrested after the notorious kidnapping and killing of three Jewish teenagers, including American-Israeli Fraenkel, by Hamas operatives. They were arrested for their alleged links to Hamas more than for any evidence of their involvement. We see how Israel aims to reform its independent judiciary to better protect the rights of Palestinians, while the lawyers who defend Palestinians criticize the judiciary as illegal or unfair. We are reminded of whats at stake for Israel, as we walk through the gory details of several terrorist attacks and the plight of the judiciary to bring justice to the victims and their families without sacrificing Israels status as the only beacon of democracy, however imperfect, in the Middle East.
