as a thesis ninety five years to the struggle for freedom and the cause of humanity we shall make it up her aides that we draw lessons and inspiration from these lives as we confront the challenge of the present moment we shall use this historic occasion to unite to rebuild and to renew his movement. how is imagine if the management agency has mistakenly sent out a warning for an imminent missile strike this is the moment the warning was broken on local t.v. the u.s. pacific command has detected a missile threat to hawaii a missile named packed on land or sea within minutes this is not a drill people across the island also received a warning text message instructing them to seek shelter against the supposed that impending strike the ages say late and it was a false alarm the u.s.
1:33 am
miniature specific command also said there was no ballistic missile threat to hawaii those are your top stories that's it from may stay with us our walls of shame west bank is coming up next as thousands of rogue engines seek refuge in bangladesh a new armed group is taking shape fighting the government and me and mom only because they refuse to give us our basic rights as citizens for the first time a member of the our camera had just salvation army talks to al-jazeera at this time . in two thousand and two the israeli palestinian conflict was further inflame as a contentious supporter was cast in concrete. the following film first aired five years after construction began on what israel describes as a separation wall. friday
1:34 am
afternoon in the west bank village of. another demonstration against the israeli government that will take over half of the villages. around cannot come. through. it matters little what they're called whether walls barriers or fences intention is the say to redefine human relations into us. this is a story about division about the barriers that men erect in calculation or desperation to separate themselves from others or others from them when
1:35 am
diplomacy and conciliation fail this is the alternative. was living. i call it a wall of shame because a hundred and thousands of palestinians are without jobs because of them without food in the movement because of the world without the means. and israel is. using to see the population of israel. there's nothing new about so-called protective walls most ancient cities have them the ones we see today around jerusalem date from the sixteenth century. but the
1:36 am
twenty first century war not only look different they serve a different purpose. the war is just over seven hundred kilometers long so far it's costing two million dollars every kilometer. it began in two thousand and two and it goes deep into palestinian territory in the west bank and jerusalem splitting neighbors and in circling villages. it's the biggest construction project in israel. and one that its supporters claim is necessary to ensure israel's security. this fancy is for security reason this fence is only for blocking the way of suicide bombers into israel. and yet plans for the division of israel and palestine predate the relatively modern phenomenon of suicide attacks the plans were decades
1:37 am
in the making. while the wall really follows out of israeli policies for the last hundred years even before there was an israel essentially the problem is that zionism has claimed this country from the mediterranean to the jordan river exclusively for the jews there is no other people here for the for the israeli jews there is no it palestinians there is no other collectivity with other rights to this country this is our country exclusively period. the names of professors soffa an ex prime minister sharon come up repeatedly in any discussion of the war. is the ideologues who first drew the maps for a construction of a war in the one nine hundred eighty s. but it was the politician sharon who put the reality on the ground. the day he was
1:38 am
elected second time with prime minister this very important evening he cordon to bring him next day my met. was my abode to disengage from not to sit with him but to give him his because my name was that. and if you ask me how i did the map i would say ninety bills in. my consideration demography. holy sites and maybe seven. cent only secure my vision was if we would like to keep. to which. we cannot enjoy the luxury of having the stuff and. because. at that moment. as the main political force behind the erection of the wall it fell to
1:39 am
israeli prime minister sharon to allay the fears of israel's backers. good fences make good neighbors he told us president george w. bush astutely quoting american poet robert frost. good words can make. goes all over the world see the war between me and my work and holes and we're all very good friends. but palestinians and israelis have never been good labors and the war is a physical reminder of the end tippity on both sides. and even the very name of this divide is a contentious issue israel's official name for the wall is separation barrier to some it is a while to others it is a fence. only three percent of the barrier is wall ninety seven percent is fans
1:40 am
everybody wants to show in television the wall but you have to remember this well is it is against should think it's only in places when people live very close to the fence and they can shoot through then you had to put it there was ninety seven percent is just transparent fence. but though a fence may have less visual impact it takes up more ground. it's true that the majority of the structure is not fire. majority of the structure is electronic fence that's only one component there is patrol roads that are detection and there is trenches there is razor wire it's a very wide expanse. this is why the israeli authorities use the term fans but in fact. part of the wall to me is actually worse than what you see here. the footprint is much wider you have
1:41 am
a fifty or sixty or seventy meters plus a buffer buffer zone and in terms of the damage it does to be environment in terms of all of trees uprooted irrigation systems cos it's actually much worse than the wall parked here and in many cases the israelis have taken land that has been passed down through generations of palestinian families. spend all his life. but the arrival of the wall has brought disaster the love of the. religion. of the. element is ahead it is about. the lives that the will of the children and of the of the world life. will free us or that the world will meet and with the destruction of the olive trees comes economic ruin as palestinians are left on able to work because they are forced to spend so long negotiating the divide. the
1:42 am
bloody about. what i've been kid with. bated. been a bit. of being. in. love with the look how deeply in love with the lizard lord. the little ritual who. is an official's little. one member then up to visit the one to him. this was that the one. that was it was. in the room i mean there's a particular little elect who i'd put somebody of another this will. because the look of it but a bit like if you had to say to me you really mean it is about how. it is driving people to despair because the younger generation have no there's no future
1:43 am
livelihood for peace but it's just their agricultural villages if they're in a situation where only about two hundred people or three hundred people out of a population of ten thousand for example somebody says we've been to bernie two or three hundred people can get regularly to their land obviously you can't call this an agricultural village anymore. you daughter did you did you want to on the plus a lot of these sort of get out there is. a lot of the. big. community but being. out of the dog bit me. i'm in must over twenty different on a minute to have me pull out a book and was told anything and we got about one hundred megaton. on been done and you want done then you don't do. you have died not on your model it will be bad luck going up the door. and then i mean i don't know mummy daddy you. know.
1:44 am
model t. would i do. this job no she didn't know it's pretty neat i know look at her i know but i don't want to know your model to weed out your genuine pinot gris on an album but to me out of a talk on what's going to. for as long as palestinians suffer economic hardship it's argued that there will never be peace. equality makes us in the bull's eye if the palestinians will live what israel is in the in legal terms infrastructure for statehood legal system. education and welfare and their own budgets and their only border sees only part two feet it's what's inside the border if there will be equality two states equal to the family of nations and not one occupying. this would make for good neighbors but
1:45 am
good neighbor who are. not necessarily love. and yet it is argued that the wall exists to protect the economy or at least the israeli economy. form two thousand and one until two thousand and plea is lost almost. four percent for its g.d.p. . in those years i mean no one goes to see even a movie and no one. was there. because the security situation. and according to the walls architect the security of the israeli people comes first you see your stuff. and you give me a clear picture of a very miserable picture about people who suffer from the war go back from the
1:46 am
beginning why we did it. because. because of this because of one thousand draws trigger an inch of the people that were killed in kindergarden in coffee. israel so-called separation barrier has provoked domestic unrest and attracted international criticism the route the war takes has been deemed by the international court of justice in the hague to be illegal and inhumane the issue of human rights that the international court of justice brings up is the issue of proportionality have a right to defend your population nobody is saying no but you can't be disproportionate about it you can't completely oppress and destroy another population for the sake of your own population that's really the issue if the wall had been built along the green line which is the internationally recognized border
1:47 am
between the west bank and israel israel has the right to build a wall either on the green line or within its own territory there will be about fifty thousand palestinians on the israeli side of the wall when it's complete and again this undermines the security argument. and soft argues that the revulsion expressed by many around the world is sheer hypocrisy. we don't know if your in even your. wars they don't tell you. may lead us with. these bloody. wars. and yet it is not just the international community that has condemned the war even within israel there are many who believe that it isn't serving any useful purpose it was missed two different ya'll diane is deputy mayor of tel aviv but probably
1:48 am
better known for being the daughter of moshe dyan the hero of the one nine hundred sixty seven war in which israel alec's the west bank this current war she argues is not the answer. it's not effective. because instead of being an obstacle to tell wastes it became another obstacle to peace into sensitivities a provocation it's not a peaceful partition it became a political statement and it's a very bad to deep feelings of additional occupation and. a speaking it doesn't have legality from anybody in displaced. population. yet the israeli public went along with the idea of highly decorated army pilot believes they allowed themselves to be duped with catastrophic
1:49 am
results. naive u.t. i am not using the for stupidity signal everything to the people who are you know that eighty percent of the jews in israel are working in the morning there oh my god i want peace oh my god so much of the left in israel is praying for you who will give you his mother for the peace. oh my goodness. and stupid. little to build a fence and all our problems will be ok. the wall is redrawing the map some israeli commentators see it as an attempt to define in one concrete a future two states solution by including within israel the land of the palestinian west bank which the illegal israeli settlements have been built but it is the settlers who stand to gain most from the. it's a kind of
1:50 am
a surplus wall because they have just the wall to the reality on the ground to what the reality. that the setlist have dictated which is of course the full support of the government for many days. so actually if you look at the map of the of the wall what you see is that the principle. was maximum settlers maximum settlements minimum are of. relation in israel so if it has also a demographic that mention the meaning of the will has nothing to do with security check the path yourself see that it's only protecting settlements that it is build based on future plans for expanding meant of the settlement you're not
1:51 am
the fence not even protecting current settlers it's going to protect future settlers and that's absurd. many palestinians to believe the real purpose of the war is. that we are going into two thousand and one. i'm going to propose that it was for the demographic issue not not there to limit the expansion because that is the freedom accorded to them two thousand and twenty. would be sixty person so by the wall he said that he's going to assure that things will be fifty percent. the wall is basically. we don't want to see the palestinians it's a psychological barrier it's not only that. it's actually a two state solution but the way i want. to get rid of the.
1:52 am
many. inside. and to give the israelis the feeling that if the palestinians within. a source is no longer. expanding the future good life would be impossible and. there would no development so they were forced to leave. by themselves which means voluntarily. determined to hang on. is surrounded by the wall. why because it. it's right next to an israeli settlement. and he is adamant he won't be giving up. about a problem. with him can he. had to do for you had to.
1:53 am
1:54 am
which in historical terms is thinkable. we are building for ourselves you know where the ghetto is there not to. build a fence around us and what are we doing we are fencing ourselves we're putting ourself in a ghetto. we should live like that. all continues to grow and in the present political climate difficult to see a time when it will be dismantled those on the extremes feel that this is a good thing. i would like to see such a war that even good in sweden will be able to fly over. the long piece. you know there is a story i heard from a former general. who told me that he was sitting having coffee was a very old man a palestinian old man. and he told me. you know i've been here with the turks with
1:55 am
the british mandate and it was the jordanian always you have lived. you. treating us better than all the others but you were there was. so how come because you're the only one we're taking all that. is the settlements and the war so in a nutshell i think this is the host of. since this film first aired in two thousand and seven israel has continued to expand the wall more than two hundred kilometers despite condemnation from the u.n. and most recently. it's a measure that's continued to cause outrage even from some of israel's own citizens among these protesters are israelis. jonathan polak
1:56 am
is an israeli activist who's part of the protest movement against the wall. i guess the soldiers i like the vast majority of. the people who come here is ready to come here. to a degree i think that they're right because we betray the notion that this place here is part of israel. to that degree they're correct we are we are. very proud to be betrayed it's no. more political. oh my god nobody. so i'm with jonathan is the founder of on a case against the wall. the minute they come here because i believe that it's wrong that israel built this thing i think it's wrong and that it's really good at all and i think it's definitely wrong when israel believes it on people's lands jonathan's activism often puts them in direct conflict with the israeli army which was. now michael.
1:57 am
it's the only thing. that's that's like. the farce they want to know what's going. to go from with them out of the government the president you know money for. political and a couple of them of the you know they're not going to focus. on the money the. money going to forget what i think there should be so i talked about if. there should be i think i'm going to. you know i think government you know it became clear that the policing power of israel's border guards extends well beyond the wall even on land. as palestinians and it shows how it's not on the about preventing people from going to the outside it's also about controlling this fight and how the army regarded supports legal rights or even according to their own laws the army can do whatever. they.
1:58 am
might have been in this area. after the. gunmen and i'm the spectrum of them but i'll go out of the city i must get into. the zone. and then it will give me or you. on the fringes of some of africa's mega cities the make a slum is perched on stilts. but the cities are beginning to develop even for terry is one of the architects goodley of the army is also the most sustainable solution for the communities hardest hit by the tides of change for the local tech to continue what's working all this time on
1:59 am
a just. this is a really fabulous news from one of the best i've ever worked in there is a unique sense of bonding where everybody teams in but something i feel every time i get on the chair every time i interview someone will often working round the clock to make sure that we bring events as i currently as possible to the viewer that's what people expect of us and that's what i think we really do well. this is live. it's busy lives young river traders who say. they can neither read nor write but they know they're. very dangerous to. gamble with their plan will do anything just to earn it.
2:00 am
