10:12 am
particular neighborhood seem war soften the others what's happening there. good morning so the. most recent event i've been to so as you go along really for the past the error is this outrageous combined police violence against it and they were good but of course they issues in a so way out and. israeli policy that resulted in making been a were so poor and so this suppose s. having to be got a year ago got to 53 years ago and this is why we've looked into what has been developing in the so it is not just in the last year but retelling the story also days any policy of dispossession is resulted in its neighborhood losing by this point in time to 90 percent it used to be 20000 do now it's now it's just 1000 doing ons for the residents of the neighborhood so tell us a bit more about how things have changed since 1907 and how people who live in
10:13 am
alice how we act hoping. yes so do it gradual process and finally israeli perspective as is correct with regard to so many other human rights violations conducted by his millions mistiness it's all according to law so the gradual usage of seriousness in isms to overtake the land. is ready situations taking so long to learn to build on them and neighborhood settlements just for jews. and implementing that gradually has been one feature of what is happening that has been compounded also by a policy of us knows landing not giving that neighborhood and proper a master plan according to which people will be able to build. the building permits and just legal normal life so you know that islam is done exactly the opposite totally willingly and to is an example of the brother situation existing all over

understanding and east jerusalem and there's a little doubt of course people have no other option bus to go without a permit right and again they haven't got a risk their life savings israeli police have described this neighborhood as an extremist village and you also as you mention you know there's been a police operation being waged on this neighborhood over the last year they say it's because extremists what has this created what sort of a not less fear has this lead to in the neighborhood. well the facts are totally different picture than the one that is being described by the police is in fact the militarized police that is entering the neighborhood almost on a daily basis for no reason creating friction entering people's homes i mean when you interviewed a vehicle it live there is a deep sense of the insecurity felt both by their parents and by children i mean just imagine the situation which i do in how this author rests over the last year most of them most minors in the sense of both have the exposure of minors to this
10:15 am
kind of a police lightens and the sense of the parents of the you cannot protect their children what is the end game. what is the objective of israel's overall policy. and you know to palestinians who live in these areas have any sort of recourse. so only so it is not identical to the oppressive policies as it is and has ensued one and seen one is not identical to do these really oppressive policies that are enacted in to us in a rose on the other side as bush and barrier and so on and so forth each one assumed they were in east jerusalem as its own menu is on cocktail of specific oppressive measures used by israel against the palestinians there but it will take a step back and look at the bigger picture and what we see is while there are variations from one part of his us and to another it is all under one general policy and his early lawsuit is aimed to maintain an advance jewish supremacy in
