hundreds of settlers around here so you tell them. they tell the settlers that you're a few hundred million dollars that man his strongest is stronger than him and his strength is stronger than i imagined. that man by his cell phone use is really strong he refuses hundred dollars and he needs couple of thousands so why is this place so important. you know about me i believe is my land so i don't need to sell it. like for example you believe your land is just house but i believe my land is home life. spirit everything's maybe maybe you could sell it and buy lots beter than this house but you could not buy any kind of happiness if you have billions you know having a school doesn't close by money. but this was.
5:03 am
i group in jerusalem do the sickening to. let alone the rest of the. people i guess on both sides always look for excuses to go on with conditions. most israelis never stepped in the west bank most israelis live or. even for an argument. they never said down for a coffee most israelis have no idea what's going on on behalf of. twenty five minutes from their house. so when you don't have any idea of what's going on how can you resist can you support it or not support it can you be against it. if the i don't i don't think people don't care i think people have no idea. so my i grew up my parents out in jerusalem was on a road called better world the rule next to me is hebron rule but the road leads to
5:04 am
. pretty much in hebron road after about forty minutes forty five minutes you actually get to have at least a very much the historical road changed. and i've never been to bethlehem i've never been to have been through the army i was i was still there when i was fifteen during the second intifada it was my school was in jerusalem i think it was a. cd invited palestinians from bethlehem and palestinians from jerusalem for like a week vacation in milan to wrist from all the violence and stuff which is very nice and was so stupid for me because i had to go to law know to meet children that losing bethlehem. fifteen twenty minutes from my house. so i think it just shows how the occupation is so close but you have no idea what's going on.
5:05 am
for the checkpoint to know. it's one aspect of it it's still prevention of movement that's the thing. is that people can go and often open their shops because of security reasons people don't leave their posts anymore because. it's almost impossible to leave either because of settlers violence either because there can be curfews or did the street below them would be just schools would be almost impossible to get there with the car with food which if you need to the kitchen and so of course the checkpoints are a horrible thing but it's just one aspect of a much more bigger picture which is that is really controlling what used to be deceive the center of hebron like you have been the you don't need to be mean to palestinians but you prevent them from going out of their own front door to step on a street they're not allowed to go because they're palestinians. you know for one
5:06 am
of one of the dives i think i really feel the most ashamed was when a palestinian kid like decide came to me asking for some food and they gave him a few candies they had and then afterwards i felt ashamed you know what in my supposedly social worker know they're into giving food and then all the rest is there they can a few hours what kind of logic is there. a lot i should judge the merchant fleet. an awful lot of between him and him fish we say i should go to bed which are clearly hostile image and cool helping build one has seen little kid flood on solid belly. really. give people a should get out of a job one of his formative years were more out of school emergency as a typical scene back at them massey which will ensue. you into good don't you can do this without the land business and i'm still very young in the midst of the
5:07 am
victims of a small business. one has it has. been more midst of a you reckon but dr evil on the way i know with remarkable celtic of the luck of the will of the africa the. middle home for a million or more and i would fade anathema to sally mark most of his mamas are your solution of this you ma'am i thought enough of the alphabet it was. a hilly place your own business. no plumbing. on. it it's a hell of course they're not. chilling but. on the job but also the yani. show listen. i had a lot of aplomb feeling sure an add on mr shame civil affairs additional additional if i want to was not i thought
5:08 am
a lot of incident in july but the build up here ability to go on and on the most commonly but that's really been the secrets of a gentle way down in the sun and the star we'd love to have the norm are the only one of us going i legit fuzhou. just like i took an anonymous book on to him unknown but lot have to have the kind of it we're sure vision to know ok here yet you want to tell us ok. give us had a foot of the day and just suddenly set the machine. to be what took a nice belief that all life will. but honestly and move freely concede but this sounds like a lot of this thing to know about droids john along with and so barbecue what is your name the also a lot of the albums let's go in that i thought well this girl ok yeah.
5:09 am
5:10 am
5:11 am
to there's only seven when you only come and. leave this. looks of things. hebron in arabic is called. why is what is. means the beloved of allah. they were referring to abraham to abraham. in the islamic tradition abraham is called abraham the beloved of allah so according to islamic tradition abraham is also buried in the tomb of the patriarchs and hence that what we call in the jewish tradition the tomb of the patriarchs of. the cave of my fella. in arabic is called. the abrahamic mosque is that it's the longest standing holy place in the jewish religion here we had the temple of jerusalem but the temples
5:12 am
were destroyed the walls that we see down were just the outer retaining walls but the tomb of the patriarchs was never destroyed the building that we see now was added on to so this is what makes it very important for the jewish faith and also the love that islam has for the prophets of the bible are also mentioned in the koran so hence the profits that are buried in the tomb of the patriarchs make it as well a holy place for islam because abraham in fact is abraham for muslims is considered the father of the islamic faith the the first one to testify and the oneness of god the father of monotheism so the irony is that here we are in jerusalem and also in hebron which is considered a sister city to jerusalem. the children of abraham jews and muslims israelis and palestinians locked in conflict over the same holy land the same holy
5:13 am
cities of jerusalem and hebron and particularly over the same holy sites the temple mount in jerusalem and that the tomb of the patriarchs and yet it has such a symbol and possibility to be a place of peace because it's the tomb of the patriarchs is the only active mosque and active synagogue in the world that i know of except for maybe the the tomb of the prophet samuel also is an active mosque in the center but it's the same time but yet there's this division when you go in the building there between a jewish entrance and a muslim entrance. after
5:14 am
there's anything close to the story. and you know he's. going. to be crazy not to be. he by then i think. when you're last thought i was you know i was going to. talk that you know they used to be able to gather here and with that we will have to go to the area and we're hopeful that this will come back again to live peacefully together and that you're very we have to leave this to come. yeah mostly. wrong.
5:15 am
but he had good relations with you and such a few of you having seen him. well like brecker. on the office i think. yeah right i believe i think i would they got hundred one million dollars and i'll tell you how that is their serious dish are calling it . i think i just said i was always whining about that is often not all the guy to have let's hear more let's go to do it let's live because of peacefully because then one hundred million one when i got everybody i know i got the stuff we were going to say and you can come with me in this house. and. well we got a lot of that but i got up like you got that going to be tough because you think because these guys are going to bust there was no money did you mean for me i have a feeling. it's our job to slow you to which i would post it i mean you're sort of
5:16 am
soft he sent a message for you that he had a cold walk as you started it all figured out a shovel also and he quit from you through the pacific and most of his age to have peace and to make the hobbit one doesn't buy that much good work and love cooking for it is picked himself and he said that please you should show and you should give an opinion where you are good bad and this is his message not talk that i would just open the. checkpoints obviously you have to look love you have to talk why did i get so i just could not get it but i can see why you felt what you thought and this is the most affordable fits not my message. to people here in this piece of. this is the man. taiwan. a sovereign island state. or a renegade province of china that must soon return to mainland control. as the
5:17 am
battle for taiwanese hearts and minds intensifies. people in power investigates the tactics of those to whom reunification is only a matter of time. taiwan spies laws and crossed very hard on our josey. we have a news gathering team here that is second to their all over the world and they do a fantastic job when information is coming in very quickly all at once you've got to be able to react to all of the changes and al-jazeera we adapt to them. my job is is to break it all down and we held the view on the stand and make sense of it. whether on line this isn't some abstract fish we need to be attached to their stops or if you join us on sect rather than stopping terrorism it's creating
5:18 am
a base is a dialogue and just the community is wanting to add to this conversation we need a president who's willing to be a villain and a short while everyone has a voice and part of civil society i need but i never get listening to those in the corridors of joining the global conversation. on out to zero. hello i'm barbara starr in london these are the top stories on al-jazeera syria and russian warplanes have carried out some of the heaviest bombardments yet of rebel positions in southern province activists and rescue workers reported more than sixty airstrikes while helicopters dropped a barrel bombs syria's military is threatening a major offensive to retake it live which is the last stronghold in the country
5:19 am
iraqi security forces are enforcing a curfew on the southern city of her after a week of violent protests iraq's parliament held an emergency session to work out how to contain the protests fueled by anger over lack of work and basic services prime minister hi there are body urged members of parliament to help prevent armed confrontations we should draw a distinction between the political factors on the other issues namely security and services unfortunately events have developed rapidly since the parliament's first session of monday last as a result of the escalating political wrangling which if turned into armed confrontations will be gravely dangerous we are keen on steering away from plunging into such danger now the situation in basra is owner control human rights groups have condemned egypt's sentencing of hundreds of people charged over a two thousand and thirteen pro muslim brotherhood sit in in cairo
5:20 am
a total of seven hundred thirty nine defendants were charged in the last trial the court confirmed the death sentences on seventy five people while forty five more were given life terms in prison the rubber square protests lasted six weeks and ended with the killing of around nine hundred protesters by security forces. boko haram gunmen have retaken control of the town of bali in northeast borno state some residents had only just returned to the town in june encouraged to do so by the nigerian government they fled in two thousand and fifteen after one of the deadliest encounters in the fight against boko haram protesters have been gathering in towns and cities around the world to urge world leaders to take action against climate change it's part of an international day of protests time to coincide with key un climate talks in bangkok the talks aimed to create a draft legal framework for limiting global temperature rise that can be presented at the final round of discussions in poland in december more in the news hour in
5:22 am
what changed for me very dramatically and how i see these rooms were of palestine information the conflict was me being there me being there as a soldier me being a part of you know of the depression of palestinian me being a part of the occupation as an act of war so for me with changed it was what i did as a soldier so i was just like the most regular soldier i was in a commander and thing. we've been there for i think in february and five and since two thousand and eight for about five six months and bring some just shifts patrols guarding to you know rests at night going to people's houses by this team and else we would call making our presence felt and they did the armies and. as long as we control a civilian population those people doesn't want to be controlled we need to remind them that we are here so that means going to people's houses in the middle of the
5:23 am
night random houses the most regular people and interests sure. prisons it means you go you do a search maybe you interrogate people you can even take pictures of people who would be frightened. for everything we did and they do is to show that your dear i never liked it i think most people don't enjoy it. but stewart think the most problematic thing that happens to you as a soldier as a human being is that you get used to it i mean after a while you stop caring about palestinian stop caring about settlers you stop caring about israel don't think you care about is going back to sleep. and you know your shifts are like six hours every day twice a day. the child to guard. and then you for seventeen day then you get back home for a few days to. multiplied by six months you get very very numb from what's going on so you don't really care about palestinians you don't like it i didn't like it but
5:24 am
you just don't care about them you know way they're not human beings you know they're just another thing in your job. we went into one of them like a neighborhood in a broom palestinian neighborhood when you started mapping the house you always go into people's houses that can know for absolutely sure did they're not involved in any kind of terror resume attacked soldier that that the israelis in once we went into the house before that my officer told me bring your camera we few details and start taking pictures of people in the sport truths for people who want to put it together with everything we will so we pass it on to the show about intelligence security forces and so on. so i'm starting to kick the pictures of palestinians at two o'clock three or four o'clock at night about twenty twenty five pictures at the end of the night. you know when the story starts now in a way because
5:25 am
a day in the next day afterwards i expect that someone will come and ask them what i think. it's a very important intelligence material no one does the one asks anything and go back to my officers again the next day after building guys which ones ok i will but don't worry someone will come and wait another month at the end i just embrace the pictures in a found out that my officer just threw everything everything you wrote down and it took me a very long time to understand. the idea and we were told this by our commanders by the officers they gave no just taking the pictures just writing the things known because no one ever wants to hold them away the idea is to make our presence felt we don't really care about their health more than we care about their neighbors they will start asking questions are they collaborators does it mean that the extent someone's going to mess up my house is there a big operation going on in the woods you know every night every dig three times a week it doesn't matter but every unit it turns would do it all over again so
5:26 am
affirmatively can be visited twice a year because no one really needs the security aspects because they do is to show the tweet here we want to control you don't want to control we want to stay if you remember us. and you can see that ok. you know. good. good for. you the little. for. the. me you need to be.
5:27 am
funny any doubts as to how you are and how you see others about the french elena live out in the way. to know when she was over me hamish ahead to see on insulin. in charlotte a blanket for the jolly us to see honestly the shock when the model book if there's one more book you wanted to tell you all you show. a lot is a mug shot of him that's all we have them on the island and you don't have a minimum. you want to keep spending two out of a decade actually lowered into the hole though i'm one of those who thinks look bad lebanon didn't lose it with then. the nose but there were throughout your book that
5:28 am
it should be dull second only and also a carload of the goods that are never sure what to give. you for. it only if. i'm lucky and i think. it's not really knowing. it's all. oh god how long the sellers at that in the out all of the iowa scenario because yeah i saw. the house and got to hear how awful. the reality of the resort was shoddy. not only i want to hear from our fellow i know yeah i. am shocked i don't follow. up i'll call it a one mile and compassion fatigue as i have a healthy for sure and as much as you thought was available last i love well life although he would have
5:29 am
a tough job. but do tell us look ahead of this maybe there. was a west ham sandwich as if they don't know you know when hey fairly routinely is a. smoker they're going to miami the duma then and so is she the most like to shop with the listing to chicken so we she can easily she and the visalia will see a little eloy but with the lives of the market going in the here and so we see again he was really enjoying the show. in front of the loo rather early in the celebrations szabo from here who can leave it with the police able to look at it almost all that i can ever do is those who do because they were hunted because they were shelling us shots or. we. shan't be here could the ballots isn't enough who doesn't mean i mean what about for my skin going to come about this isn't. going to get a mention of another dio in
5:30 am
a saloon more to myself. i don't know who does anything this or well. below where these guys go now that's but the world would know what a load of the state of the us a bottle. was close by oh yeah right. oh . that's going to had me all. less emotional than some of the. of those of snobbism never jubilant because i have had my humanity back this morning honestly. think jennifer. i did have it with you and all of that from the hood that you didn't even care about some of my long not only whether the. photo is. good but although you look exactly like i think i'm very proud of.
5:31 am
most just most it's because it's not mostly what i want to give it a visual thing. and the good one from the city is going to be good on the street would have from it's been going to be no longer shop week not in the in the pub on the street when you move. from austin in houston have been going on that we have with them each group in the group just blow them up i do my little clique it's a mislead some of them become jealous of the little girl philo gubb things are going this year open this is it then the whole going to happen at home with the more literally no can. happen and then mostly can get them on the bus or the someone with the bring them again to show me a little while but i don't want to like to get to what you want to get what he didn't have so we did it because there are. now up to it that i make at them do you
5:32 am
think that we can stick to detonate what's doing it in them or the benefit of the i phone that she still has been on a mission to get our city the city took the right image of the d.j. to be what they should both of them suffer with might be but it's the box made up the feel of the man to do what he did i'm going to have issues of the family a stock index of the bible my deal. but that we'll be in one location this week in some ways most of them with. the look like follows t v e. a n e a dash in and out to get him on the mission. fast running of confound you know i feel shut out of any player. especially. for you for steve to see how he could never get down on the you much you know if you were honest enough about pat's just
5:33 am
a chuckle because he wasn't. the polish on the full screen should offer the question because if you could only look at the short sleeve you come home even with believe you still feel more for the steve wallace observe those are the highest this is for you things you can come to know your limits of what you know is going up alone. would see for she puts the company might have some news for sure but the votes of a bill to cover but the shot through to be sure when i should be your question should the state not spend so much she didn't really. much influence the question. i did not so fast it was a bit some of their twenty four i differ shuffling same sharma. go off on a steamy record in new york. it's over. the phone.
5:34 am
with. another thing about the only got the. key anybody. you make the name of. i think one of them oh one of the events that really was for me very very significant very powerful. took me a very long time to actually image just me didn't say to my own the leader on that was very very strong and we had to evict family palestinian family. from their house you're dealing. with she's under direct he's really control. your house was just in front. of the settlements of the home of you. in the
5:35 am
started building and they didn't you had permission because i guess these really didn't give them permission to renovate their house and so on and we gave them our warrants to stop building and they didn't stop building the point don't you know just really getting inside the house and the idea that we were like fifteen soldiers had to a victim there were like these two people you know very poor haven't done anything. and there was so much. fuss because you have activists to feel that you have settlers the jail with you. and you were a victim people from their houses or you it was for me always like this red line that i would never cross and then they just cross it and you hate it you don't like it you don't enjoy you understand and it's bad but what's even worse is that you're doing it you know after we finish evicting them people came in will be down like soldiers will the down the doors from the outside so they won't be able to go in i
5:36 am
5:37 am
i think it's really important to remember that. at the end of the day i was and i wasn't a victim and the victims are the palestinians. i'm not saying that to be so much power so of course there is doing very bad for you for the society but of the end of the end of the day the ones that suffer from the ones it needs to york and one i wonder sleeping because maybe the army will go into their house there are the palestinians and i just mean i had my house to get back to when i can go to sleep absolutely no soldier will enter my house to every start taking pictures of me when i found something palestinians in especially in hebron they're not going to sleep like that. for.
5:39 am
so that was. the burial place of abraham is is really one of the holiest places in all of western civilization could even say the birthplace after jerusalem and. one of the birth places or the burial places of the founder of western civilization the monotheistic concept and why is it that we're so divided. that the reason why the jewish community is in hebron and the reason why there are soldiers and checkpoints from the jewish communities perspective is because of the need for security to secure the safety of the eight hundred fifty jews who live in the old city of hebron and the hundreds of thousands of israelis and religious jews from around the world that come at the tomb of the patriarchs and the tomb of jesse and ruth and abraham avraham of you know synagogue
5:40 am
and neighborhood during the jewish holidays or passover said quote. everyone is a front line of the israel palestine conflict or brawn problem will not be solved by itself it's part of like i said a microcosm of israeli palestinian relations the jewish people the israelis why did it seem like from the outside world that they're arming themselves to the teeth. ask anyone they say because i'm afraid i'm afraid for my survival for my protection for my safety it's not to kill or to oppress another people. palestinians see themselves as oppressed by that. little. girl. a little over. half. was going to.
