villains in college all that it matters little what they're called whether walls barriers or fences the intention is the say to redefine human relations into us their market. this is a story about division about the barriers that many erect in calculation or desperation to separate themselves from abo's for others from them when diplomacy and conciliation fail this is the alternative. of the living. god i call it a wall of shame because a 100 thousands of palestinians are without jobs because of them without food in
1:35 am
the movement because of the world i would doubt that all of chinese. and israel is. population all these or else i know. there's nothing new about so-called protective walls most ancient cities have them the ones we see today around jerusalem date from the 16th century. but the 21st century wars not only look different they serve a different purpose. the war is just over 700 kilometers long so far it's costing $2000000.00 every kilometer. it began in 2002 and it goes deep into palestinian territory in the west bank and jerusalem splitting neighbors and in circling villages. it's the biggest
1:36 am
construction project in israel. and one that its supporters claim is necessary to ensure israel's security. this fans 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 in the making. of the wall really follows of israeli policies for the last 100 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 air
1:37 am
palestinians there is no other collectivity with other. rights to this country this is our country exclusively period. the names of professor soffa the next prime minister sharon come up repeatedly in any discussion of the war. is the ideologues who 1st drew the maps for a construction of a war in the 1980 s. but it was the politician sharon who put the reality on the ground. the day he was elected 2nd time was quite nice to this very important evening he called me to bring him next day my met. with my proposal about the disengagement not to sit with him but to give him his because my mood was that he and if you ask me how i did the map i would say 90 builds in
1:38 am
big talk in my consideration demography to 3 percent holy sites and maybe $78.00 percentage only secure with my vision was that if we would like to keep. to wish democratic state we cannot enjoy the luxury of having all of by the star in very slowly because the mogul field is the most deterministic fact thought in our problem at the moment. as the main political force behind the erection of the war it fell to 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 2nd hols and we are very good
1:39 am
friends. but palestinians and israelis have never been good labors and the wall is a physical reminder of the end tip of the 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 3 percent of the barrier is wall 97 percent is fans everybody wants to show in television the wall but you have to remember that this well is it is against should think it's only in places where people live very close to the fence and they can shoot through then you had to put it there was 97 percent is just transparent fence. but though a fence may have less visual impact it takes up more ground. it's true that the
1:40 am
majority of the structure is not like this the majority of the structure is electronic fans but only one component there is patrol roads that are detection. there is trenches there is razor wire it's a very wide expanse. this is why the israeli authorities use the term fence but in fact. part of the wall to me is actually. what you see here. the footprint is much wider and you have. 50 or 60 or 70 metres plus a buffer buffer zone i'm in terms of the damage it does to be environmental in terms of all of trees a bruisers irrigation systems because it's extreme much worse than the wall part here and in many cases the israelis have taken land that has been passed down through generations of palestinian families. spend all his life.
1:41 am
but the arrival of the wall has brought disaster. relief. as it both you look at the. moment is ahead it is about. is that the one individual who is at the whim of the. nasser was at the world with me 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 bloody about. what i've been kid with. bated. been a baby because. of being. in myself. with the love probably not with the laws of our ward. but is it a little bit too going on
1:42 am
a lot of it is an official's little. visit they wanted to have. this was that. it was it was. not i mean there's a particularly. with somebody element of it is. because of it but if you had to say to me you really mean is that. it is driving people in the spirit because the younger generation have no there's no fear. a livelihood for peace but it's their agricultural villages if they're in a situation where only about 200 people or 300 people out of a population of 10000 for example somebody says we've been to bernie 2 or 300 people can get regularly to their land obviously you can't call this an agricultural village anymore. to your daughter did you did you need to show he doing on the. bus a lot of this sort of get. it done
1:43 am
a. lot of the. big city are going to be a. lot of the. many jewish. must over funny. on the minute we have a lot of work to me still to understand we don't have mother can. do it on been done to do what i need you to do and do. you have died not on your model will be a bad model of going up to. that mean i don't know mama daddy you. know walking the model t. would i do. this job not sure you know it's pretty neat i know i'll give her a no but i don't want to know your model you would have your genuine pinnacle saddam and all but one of them is out of a tough one which got us out of. for as long as palestinians suffer economic hardship it's argued that there will never be peace. equality in the excess
1:44 am
but in the course if the palestinians will live what israel is in the legal terms infrastructure for statehood legal system of. education and welfare and their own budgets and the only border sees only part 2 feet it's what's inside the border if there will be equality 2 states equal to the family of nations and not one occupying. this would make for good neighbors but good neighbor or whole days not necessarily love. and yet it is argued that the wall exists to protect the economy or at least the israeli economy. form 2001 until 2000 employee is lost almost. 4 percent for its g.d.p.
1:45 am
. in those years i mean no one goes to see even a movie and no one knew. who was the good boss or simply because of the security situation. and according to the walls architect the security of the israeli people comes 1st you see your stuff. and you give me a clear picture a very miserable picture about people who suffer from the war go back from the beginning why we did it. because. because of this because of 1000 draws. the people of that work in kindergarden in. israel so called separation barrier has provoked domestic unrest and attracted international criticism the route the war takes has been deemed by the
1:46 am
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 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 between the west bank and israel israel has the right to build a. green line within its own territory there will be about $50000.00 palestinians on the israeli side of the wall when it's complete and this undermines the security argument. that the revulsion expressed by many around the world is sheer hypocrisy. we don't know if your in even your of the create they have
1:47 am
acted wars they don't tell you but go for. the. 1000000 last winter in morocco what they'll do in these bloody will be and the bidding wars . me. 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 miniscule difference ya'll diane is deputy mayor of tel aviv but probably better known for being the daughter of moshe dyan the hero of the 1967 war in which israel alec's the west bank this current war she argues is not the answer. 1st it's not effective. because instead of being an obstacle to tell wastes it became another obstacle to peace in the sense that it is a provocation it's not
1:48 am
a peaceful parties. it became a political statement and it's a very bad to deep feelings of addition the occupation and also internationally a speaking it doesn't have legality from anybody in displacing split. and. yet the israeli public went along with the idea a highly decorated army pilot believes they allowed themselves to be duped with catastrophic results. naivety i am not using the harsh war stupidity signal everything to the people who are you know that 80 percent of the jews in israel are were 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.
1:49 am
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 why and concrete a future 2 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 settlers 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 years. so actually if you look at the map. of the wall what you see is that.
1:50 am
the principle. was maximum settlers maximum settlements minimum are of. tribulation in israel so it it has also a demographic that mentions the meaning of the wall has nothing to do with security check the path yourself see that is only protecting settlements that it is build based on future plans for expanding ment of the settlement here not 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 2001. 150 proposed as it was for the demographic issue not know that to limit the feeling expansion because that is the freedom according to them that in the 2020.
1:51 am
would be 60 person so by the wall he said that he's going to assure that things will be 50 percent. the wall is basically. a deal. we don't want to see the palestinians it's a psychological barrier it's not only that. it's actually a 2 state solution but the way i want. to get rid of the it's to get as many such in this inside. and to give the israelis the feeling that if the palestinians within. his own. expanding the future good life would be impossible and. there would no development so he was forced to leave. voluntarily.
1:52 am
determined to hang on johnny's house is surrounded by the war for sides why because it is right next to an israeli settlement. and he is adamant he won't be giving up. what about a public. place but i want to be a $100.00 to $1.00. and he. had to do for you had to do it. for jihad if a. woman had. one of them.
1:53 am
like all politicians israel's war both excludes encloses hardship which it would cause the excluded the palestinians was predictable. worries many israelis is what the war has done to the inclosed how it has created something which in historical terms is thinkable. we are building the ghetto for ourselves you know where the ghetto is the nazis. build a fence around us and. what are we doing our friends see ourselves we're putting ourself in a ghetto. we should live like that. all continues to grow and in the present political climate it's difficult to see
1:54 am
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. 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. and he told. you know i've been here. with the british mandate and. always you have. you. treating us better than all the others but you are the worse. because you are the only one who are taking all that. is the settlements and. so.
1:55 am
since this film 1st aired in 2007 israel has continued to expand the wall more than 200 kilometers despite condemnation from the u.n. and most recently. it's a measure of that's continued to cause even from some of israel's own citizens among these protesters israelis. jonathan polak is an israeli activist who's part of the protest movement against the wall. i guess . like the vast majority of. people who come here who come here. to a degree i think that they're right because we betray the notion that this place here is part of. the. betrayed to snow.
1:56 am
so i'm with jonathan is the founder of on a case against the wall. if i come here because i believe that it's wrong that israel built this thing i think it's wrong and that if at all and i think it's definitely wrong when israel believes it on people's lands jonathan activism often puts them in direct conflict with the israeli army which was. now michael. the only thing. that's that's right. now what if you want to watch those numbers because from a lot of the coverage of president. obama for. this article and the focus of some of the you know not going to focus. on the money that you. think we're going to get when i think they're going to get.
1:57 am
their shit. together i'm going to. you know i think government. 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 site and how the army regarded supports legal rights or even according to their own laws the army can do whatever they think. they. might be going to. after that. and government and the spectrum of time but i'll go out of the city i must be able to get into. the zone. i mean it was a fairly good. as
