Sacred stones
Muayad Alayan and Laila Higazi - 2011

Natural stone — Palestine’s ‘white petroleum’ — is Palestine’s most highly sought after natural resource. Sacred Stones documents how the Palestinian stone industry is largely held hostage to serving unceasing Israeli construction demands, including for construction of illegal settlements in occupied lands, leaving behind a host of crippling environmental, social, and health problems.
