There are also events in Raleigh, such as this one at NCSU.
At this point, even if both sides want a two-state solution, it might not be possible to separate, but that is up to the two parties. I don't see how the Palestinians can be condemned for fighting to free Gaza and the West Bank from the continuing occupation, and to get back the land Israel has taken, even if groups sometimes use questionable tactics. It is ironic that some Americans blame Palestinian groups for doing what we did in the American Revolution (as in using violence and guerrilla tactics against colonial occupiers), and what the Partisans and other guerrillas did in WW2.

about the film:
Occupation 101' presents a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and dispels many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions. The film also details life under Israeli military rule, the role of the United States in the conflict, and the major obstacles that stand in the way of a lasting and viable peace. Unlike any other film produced on the conflict, 'Occupation 101' explains the complicated reality with precision storytelling through a series of highly stylized visual edits, and gives audiences a complete context with which to better understand the Israeli-Palestinian debate. The roots of the conflict are explained with thought-provoking commentaries from leading Middle East scholars, peace activists, journalists, religious leaders and humanitarian workers whose voices have too often been suppressed in American media outlets.
