settlers in the west bank are included so local communities as the rest of the that and livelihoods all season with the notion of went back to find out more. these vast farm land spinning 64000 square meters near hebron. the largest found students eating the west bank could soon be taken over by israeli settlers swan de residence of idle air area. next to hebron city woke up to find this sign on the end civil administration of just in some areas, settlement departments multi find them. that is release planning. some changes here including building a new jurors supplement with more than 200 house units approved, as well as re planning road network. it is a big sign and hebrew, an arabic loss, awards, which the locals, the message is short and clear, is ro comes to take the land. several palestinian families claim ownership to this island are for sale, so they are generally used one of them. we need to know how much in the garden

stand and imaged robots, threes. he reflects on the deep historical roots that bind his people to the sacred soil one who is either jimmy or an overall. we have all legal documents, some from the jordanian era. as before, the occupation forces were present in this land. jordan used to govern the country . and before that, there was the british mandate, and there are british documents to and before that it was the ottoman government 400 years ago, 200 years ago. now we have in our hands all the evidence that this land is ours and we inherited it from our ancestors as well. the argument is that these land is part of a so called areas see of the west bank, which according to always low accords, falls on the is really administration palestinians. emphasize this division was intended to be temporary with full jurisdiction over all 3 areas including areas see to be gradually transferred to the palestinian authority mohammed who is part

of the palestinian delegation during the discussions on this. please. it says e's real is distorting the facts which is the term area. see does not mean the jews own it, nor does it mean that settlers own it nor does it mean that is real. owns it. as an occupant in states, the occupation must end completely. hebron authorities say sassy to 35 people will be directly affected if the supplement appears on the land. but most importantly, it will connect dozens of all the do supplements in the year. we break in palestinian contiguity and paving the way for a fast through his dominance over the territory of the. this is what settlers do. they seize a piece of land and then expand to encompass the entire area. the settlers have a racist ideology that does not accept the other and does not recognize the right of the other to exist on this land. in 2022, do. satler is backed by these really military and security forces,

trying to establish a foothold here and move viewed as a legal onto both international and is rarely law. they brought in mobile homes, garbage containers and launched infrastructure projects for volta electricity plans, however, were foiled, as rarely authorities to the side of the palestinians to the caravans left here from previous is rarely attempts to occupy this land. how now rusty and abandoned back then drew settlers failed to stay. no outpost grew. here now comes a new battle. local palestinians, and hebron authorities say they are ready to fight till the end. and so is these really sides to the outcome of these confrontation is hard to be predicted, but it is not going to be an easy one. the reason ocean, i'll tell you, reporting from wary area next to hebron city in palestine. well that route. this is our as always is going to have your company will be back at the top of the out

the, everybody. this is a daily show that is very different because we hold no punches. so look for it. truth bomb number one, us votes, no to statehood for palestine at the un isn't. that was one thing. them wiped off the map. just asking truth from number 2. the number 3 highest ranking official in the us says is decision to give israel more money was biblical biblical. you're going to hear him say it for himself. coupon number 3 prime minister of australia calls the law mosque, an arrogant billionaire who thinks he's above the law. what is this all about? we're going to tell you, i'm gonna change this and this is direct impact the

. so have you been watching this show this week, which i'm sure many of you have millions of you. thank you very much. i've been telling you about and bringing you reports and showing you all the videos of some of the demonstrations that have been taking place of us university campuses. students are defending palestinians. i'm calling for a cease fire in the gaza, for the most part. most are highly critical of the way that israel has acted in uh, what they call a massacre of palestinians. here's some of the, here's some of the demonstrations that we're talking about here. they're the so as you look at this, many of these, a students are being arrested band or told they will no longer be allowed to

protest. the reasoning because their words are apparently to mean to hurtful, like the hurting the feelings of too many jews who live in new york. that's actually those are, those are not my words that that is what the mayor of new york actually said yesterday when he decided to prohibit future protests with his decree. so what, what is it about their words that is hateful? apparently a part of it, or a big part of it is saying things like from the river to the say, which is according to the critics of the protesters and us official policy, a signal that israel should not exist. then if you're saying that you're, you know, you're going to far, that's the thinking right, by us officials, the state department and all the people who don't want these folks to be protesting in these college campuses. but here's the arctic a, there's a iron here, but i just said yesterday a to you in the united states,

our country took an official position. that seems to say that it's palestine that should be white off the map and maybe not exist. how else would you interpret or describe the us being the only country that voted against the united nations security council resolution? just recognizing palestine as a country with membership at the you and us voted no. and because it has, you may know this or maybe you don't, but the united states has a very unique position of the us. it has been to power veto power. that means the us kill the measure and going to happen. yeah. gone, right. think about that. the country that says israel has. busy right to exist and nobody can say otherwise or else you're a terrorist. if you do is now saying palestine doesn't have a right to exist. and you have to buy the ministrations as it continues to stand

for a 2 stage solution. to this day. they haven't saved, so for years, every presidency, work for it to stay in solution. but that may say this that they don't have a right to. how can both things be true? i ask no, impossible, right. which is why? i mean, you can't say they don't have a right to be a member of the world community in the us and then say, we want a 2 state solution that that's, that's befuddled. and speaking of a following, what's this? this is a state department, be our spokesperson. yesterday. he comes across as if he's talking in circles here, as he, as he tries to justify both things at the same time. here it is. how are you guys going about so met since uh, october 7th, we have been pretty clear that sustainable peace in the region can only be achieved

through a 2 state solution with israel's security. i guarantee you, then it remains are few that the most expeditious path toward statehood uh for the housing in people is through direct negotiations between israel and the palestinian authority with the support of the united states and the other partners who share this goal. we believe this approach can tangibly advance hausten and goals and a meaningful and enduring way. we also have been very clear consistently that premature actions in new york, even with the best intentions, will not achieve statehood for the house. and in people additionally, as reflected in the report of the admission committee, there was not humidity among the committee members as to whether the applicant met the criteria of membership set forth in article 4 of the un charter. i didn't book reports in 4th grade in mrs. shaw's class that were better than that. i mean

what, what the hell is he talking about? did you get that? because if you did, you're certainly smarter than i am. additionally, and then put the podium what i mean, what was, what was even saying, what i mean, what you just saw there is called circumlocution circumlocution talking around and in circles and saying absolutely nothing. i mean that's, that's the guy who represents the united states of america. what i mean, how, how can you say that you are for palestine being its own state and then both know to let palestine be its own state or a member of state in this case, but wait, it gets worse. remember this week we reported how the speaker of the house by johnson had completely done an about face and broken his promise to not pass a to israel and taiwan and ukraine until we committed to spending money here,

especially at the border while we were left with the question of why he would do that. why did he change his mind? how did he do this? about phase we reason after i did a little digging that it could be the $9000000.00 that he's gotten and campaign donations that i found in uh, one of the websites that i always checked to see which politicians get how much money from home right now and that certainly could be, you know, uh, that certainly could have something to do with it. you know, money always does. but wait, there's more. but this is another reason that he may have done it. the one i'm about to share with you and it comes from johnson himself. the 3rd most powerful man in the us and one of the most powerful man in the world right now. just said that he made his decision to send america's tax dollars overseas, especially to israel. why? because the bible told himself israel is

a critical ally of ours and i think most people understand the necessity of this funding. they're fighting for their very existence. they only stable democracy in the middle east. i mean, of course there's, for those of us who are believers, that the biblical ammunition, to stand with israel, we will and, and they will prevail as long as they're there with them. and this is an important, very important symbolic gesture and a very important replenishment of their stock calls, for example, of the iron don't the reason they shut down all those drones and missiles in the last attack by iran is because we assist you with that. i think the american people understand the importance of that. did you catch that for those are those who are believers, it's a biblical admission. what does he really just say that foreign policy is based on religious belief, and this is what we accuse the caliber and some of these other extreme organizations of are we different in this country? i'm a christian, i believe in whatever it is that you know, i am part as a christian, but wait a minute. when i take a job to represent all the people set about my religion,

by the way that does the bible even really say that what he's talking about, where, how i mean as both a christian and a journalist, i immediately started wondering what, what's he talking about? i wanted to know where this thinking comes from. so we did a little checking and, and here's what we have found, mike johnson. for those of you who don't understand where he's coming from on this is i'm on a group of evangelicals in the united states who believe in something called dispensationalism big word, right? dispensationalism. if for some reason these folks are dispensationalism, don't think the very same way about jesus as teachings. as do most of the worlds, christians, interestingly enough, why? well, while most christians see all people who believe in jesus as the people of god, the dispensation was thinking is that it includes the israelites and the hebrews,

which were the people of god before jesus is coming. now i'm not trying to turn this into the sunday school, i'm just trying to explain the differences and thinking here. so bear with me if you could. so where does that thinking that historic conclusion or dispensation thinking come from? well, 200 years ago and zionism began to grow in europe. many zion is began funding and pushing a new movement in christianity. think about that. zion is pushing a movement in christianity that promoted to dispensations, one for the christian people. and one for the elder chosen people of god, the jews, to fast forward to today. and you have the majority of evangelicals in the united states. now believing that god has in fact 2 covenants, one with christians. and one would choose most christians around the world see this as a kind of like a on up ending of historic christian teachings. right? because things changed after jesus was, you know, after jesus is coming and that's why we got the new testament. but they're saying

no, no. busy don't look at that. they say they're not against, by the way, the jewish faith, people who believe in the way that most christians do. they just believe it's a different face. the judaism is a different faith than christianity, but those like mike johnson, who think differently say no is we'll say is tied to and determined by the bible, the christian bible per site. even the new testament, i guess these are the people who are dispensation was put another way they are christian zionists. and that is what mike johnson adheres to more so according to his own words, perhaps than his adherence to the united states of america. okay. to discuss all of this, i am joined now by jeff helper. he's an israel american professor who has offered multiple books about israel and palestine. maybe we start there,

maybe we start where, where my johnson says what he just said. that because he is biblical and believes in biblical munitions, that is part of the reason, or maybe the main reason that he is choosing to support israel and send them as much money as they seem to want. or ask for to that you say what professor? well, i mean, that's part of why israel's prevailing over the palestinians and apparently over the americans as well. you know, this is a war of narrative. and, and israel, every, every, several colonial project life design is mind. if you're coming to north america, going to canada of draw straw, you south africa wherever mix up a story about why the land belongs to them. why belongs to us jewels and not the palestinians. and the bible was already made narrative. it wants to get power over

people like, or i don't think the only johnson i think biting probably fits into that as well as a religious catholic, who is maybe not such a are you the logical way, but certainly that we grew up with that. those kinds of values when he says we shared values with israel, i think that's kind of where it's coming from, even though there are no shared values, genuinely between the united states and israel. and that's how is real wins. and then what we see now, for example, in the protests for you on the columbia and old of united states. yeah. you support a palestinian rights have been re narrated as anti semitism. so and the power steering issue gets completely lost and that's where it is. narrative is very powerful, so, but it's when it comes into ways and doesn't it? most of us believe by the way that there is a very strong is really lobby that has been able to give a lot of people money so that they can back them. and you know, that's,

i guess the american way for gm, the tobacco companies, everybody else does, it is real, does it as well. and that's why they're so successful. are you saying this is this mindset, this thinking, this ideological principle that they've apparently been able to get into many christians or evangelical christians, specifically in the american uh, and the american diaspora is just as strong as that other thing that they do? or is it both together that get america to do what ever it is a israel wants as well? i would add a 3rd thing. i think you've got the biblical narrative. and of course these riley's play on that. and there's a racial subtext where white, where europe and we were like, you speak english and the arabs. don't me. second of all, you what all the money, a pack and lot of money directed towards candidates that are for israel, including george liberal money going to trump the candidates. but the 3rd issue

that i write about in my book war against the people is that israel's become the sub contractor for the united states in terms of protecting and extending americans with gemini and capitalistic germany all over the world. and so israel using the palestinian laboratory and the weapons and the, and technology is the repression based on population control and surveillance, and so on. you know, has become the enforcer of global capitalism. for the united states whose pentagon weapons simply don't help in terms of repressing population. so that's a 3rd reason why israel's made itself very valuable to in united states. but, but, but here's what's going on right now. i think what we are doing in this country and what i just described moments ago are the you and we said palestine doesn't have a right to be a member, which means essentially they don't have a right to be a state. while we're arguing that israel up should never be the there statehood

should never come into a question. i mean, it's almost becoming farcical. i mean, it's becoming like a full winnie movie. it's wouldn't take us what we're saying and what we're doing and what israel is doing. and i would argue we are hurting the united states of america is credibility and we are hurting is real. we are hurting israel around the world. people are now looking, it is real, not the way perhaps i used to see if they're looking at the wise of we don't like you people, we don't like what you're doing. i think that can help what happened based on what i'm seeing and what most people in the world with 2 eyes are seeing professor you agree, you know, gosh, and i'm going to complicate your life. i don't support that to say that idea that to say the idea, it's simply a party. we don't have time to get into it. but with a tuesday idea you haven't is riley state on 85 percent of historic bell is good. you're palestinian stuck in the little band to stand like in south africa and 15

percent. and then you called the baptist and the states. i'm in favor of an anti colonial strategy from the river to the sea, which israel does disappear or is it your state? but it's replaced by a democratic state of equal rights for all the jews and all the palace, billions living between the river this the plus the rest of g 's return. that's the real solution. one of the problems is, you know, it's a dilemma because when you vote for a palestinian state that seems to help the palestinians and that's in a way. but you're also locking them into a 2 state solution or any palace, city, and state is going to be a baptist. and so in that sense, you're ready trapping them in a way and the 2 state solution that isn't good for them. well, we have to begin to think out of the box towards some anti colonial. so that's a fascinating i've never heard a take like yours and i think it's fascinating and it, and it bears a delving into some more. you also said something really fascinating about israel

try or israel being a jewish state. so that's an interesting question and i want to go into that with you as well. so stay right there, jeff helper. brilliant man. we're going to continue the discussion with him when we come back, especially the issue the beginning and yeah, who keeps raising and raising and raising he to uses the bible when he says this, we are a jewish state and must remain a jewish state. and the world most recognizes as such, what does the mean, what does that mean and can't it work? and is that really democratic? so many questions will be right back the, the, the, the mass of a bill for ukraine passed by the us congress ensures the conflict will continue.

countless lives will continue to be lost. the will this aid all sort of the events being played out on the ground. there is no reason to believe so the, the 4 talking to jeff helper, who has written books about this. once again, the book that people should buy. if they want to get a sense of what you describe again, jeff, tell us a title, you call them and you just did call them. i did call them. i think israel liberating palestine by jeff howell zionism. settlement colonialism in the case for one democratic state. while you're it's, it's perfect that you're joining us because i think so many of us have so many questions about this. i mean, for example, you know, israel has been and can be again, a great country. and jews in general are some of the coolest people in the world, not to mention some of the smart, straight up, but okay, those 2 things being equal and true. why this is real?

have to be a jewish only state. most of us don't understand that if somebody in the united states stood up tomorrow and says, you know, florida is a catholic, only stayed most people would say, what are your crazy? yeah, that's what they say. and that's really a lot the best. right. and that's where it becomes impossible, because you can't, 1st of all, i can have a jewish state in the country in which the majority population is on us. and wind zion is the began. 90 percent of the population wasn't yours and it's been displaced and thrown out in their land steak and then we see what's happening and gaza as a part of this genocide. the 2nd reason can have a jewish status because most of the things that yours democracy when blinking and bite and talk about that. what does it, what's a white democracy? mean? what does a christian to my, we know wants to qualify democracy. something's going on. israel is not like united states. israel is an eastern european country, that's where his lines and some came from. think of a or bon hungry, think

a single pole, but that's what he is real as like. mm hm. and so it's taking this really racist f . no national and religious kind of nationalism and, and, and then post it on the palestinians. and so in a jewish state there is little place for non to it's just like i'm hungry. there's no place for gypsies, roma yours. any other minorities as well? certainly migrants. and that's the problem. israel can have a jewish population. i lived here, i came from united states 50 years ago. so obviously i see a link between this country and the jewish people. i'm not a stranger, but i have to integrate into the existing society, which is a palestinian majority society. i can come in and claim it for my own exclusively. take it over and then expect that the world to accept me is a democratic, peaceful, loving country. don't you know, don't genocide on the side that says that the world does not see is real right now

as a peace loving country. and part of the reason they don't see it as real as a peace loving country is because the united states is doing everything possible to make sure is real, is not a peace loving company. company countries, right? so, so, so, but need to, so we're creating is we're, we're, we're making this situation where we're making life for average is really living there and is real, more dangerous. i fig, we're doing the very thing we're trying not to do. am i wrong? well, it's more complex than the time we have. but look, the united states doesn't really care about israel. the united states care. israel's made itself like this said before, extremely useful for the states. it's become a sir. yeah, united states of middle east were talking about a middle eastern nato with israel saudi arabia and egypt as the pillars of app to protect the american interest. because the americans themselves want to retreat

when they want to withdrawal from the middle east and pivots to china. huh. and so israel becomes that very important, you know, a norm trumps the ones call it america's largest aircraft carrier. so it's, it's arm to the teas, not because the united states allowed is israel or because not because it cares of . israelis died like they don't care of ukrainians vide but the cause. they need israel as a strong military power to protect against the chinese and russian adoptions. and to protect the western hood gemini. so there's a much bigger geo political story that explains america supports besides loving you . we will have that discussion because you jeff helper are, are the like to talk to on this topic and we will continue this discussion with you, i think many times, but i want to switch to something else that's happening in the world right now. there's a story that we've been following today. it began with a horrible stabbing. i'm not going to show you the video, but it's out there. it happened in

a church in australia. it was caught on video. apparently it was done by a group of really sick kids, 1715 to 17 years old. they're part of this network in australia of all places. that includes a boy who went into a church and stabbed the bishop while he was giving his homily or his sermon in sydney, australia last week. what types of a stabbing were then taken from the churches, services live stream, and they were put on twitter on x and the, and the video cause protests and disturbances and a lot of people are very upset about this there for australia and. busy he said, we're going to take it down. well that made the guy who owns twitter, you on mosque really angry. and he accused the australian government of trying to make decisions for the entire world. how dare you take down my video. well, that didn't sit well with australia's prime minister, who now came up this morning and said this about the lawn. busk are slow. this guy is showing he's arrogant, sees a 1000000000 a either there in the united states, he thinks he's above astray, involved. this isn't

a bad sense to ship it to bad common sense and common decency and 8 on mosque should show some 30 seconds left in the show. but i was wondering, jeff, if you had an opinion about this whole social media thing that's breaking out all over um, it's not really a, you know, my, my think. but, you know, as look as a professor and as someone who really thinks that critical analysis is really important, you know, it's a problem trying to put everything into a sound bite and i even find on social media, the people on the left. yeah. are beginning to buy into conspiracy theories, so i'm really afraid of it as a danger to critical thinking and reading and thinking through issues. and it becomes an easy slogan, the kind of a thing. and i think it's a danger to progressives, and liberals and, and, and left is as well as to everybody else. good point. and that's why we, we need to figure it out. and i'm not sure we have and i think this argument

between mosque and the prime minister of australia points it out. it's been a pleasure talking to mr. helper. i can't wait to get you back. it's a good conversation. thank you, sir. before we go, i want to remind you of our mission here. simple. obviously we, we, we try not to live in middle boxes, you know, where people think go, i'm in this box and i have to think this way. no, you don't choose don't live in boxes. i needed to wait the shows called direct impact and i'm or to inches and we'll look for you again soon. the most likes and even load designated. these really is on a refugee camp in gaza. a lot of the us, the stuff, the fire is the explorer. i did the price political opponents, i school points among the.
