Looking Back A Decade Later: The Causes & Outcomes of the Second Intifada

Produced by AFP international news agency in 2010 to mark ten years since the outbreak of the Second Intifada, this video (01:59) recalls the causes, impact and outcomes of the Palestinian uprising against Israel. The video claims the Second Intifada was a result of the breakdown of peace talks, a reaction to Ariel Sharon’s visit to the Al Aqsa Mosque compound, and a natural response to life under occupation. It laments the loss of Palestinian lives during the violent years, and claims the situation has only gotten worse since.
