a political activist and member of the palestinian people's party the p.p.p. in london yossi merkel professor of international relations and associate fellow of the middle east and north africa program at chatham house and in boston rami corey senior public policy fellow and professor at the american university in beirut rami is also a senior fellow at the harvard kennedy school a warm welcome to you all it like to begin occupied east jerusalem with the. we've seen of fictions like this take place over several decades they've happened in other neighborhoods in occupied east jerusalem yet this one seems to cut right to the core of what is going on between the israelis and the palestinians and has become a very popular cause why is that. and when you know if another as i have since a. many cases happened before but not one of them as in charge this is
2:39 pm
like and if it. came same exact is taking place it's not is there are 20 tremendous so it's become better of persons. to be kicked out of their own houses and we are we are we are. accusing is that. those who are. we to kink a really is a justice taking away in who it is or says who are taking their inhuman t. action anti are the irish ng who population that i say are in chipchura they don't take into consideration that it isn't either who there are settlers were replaced by christian and fairies nobody is accusing them even a days ago they were story to cheer and so on you
2:40 pm
don't see justice and over there you see only police and israeli military actions are perfect in those illegal settlers who are confiscating our houses and sitting in it kicking those families. simpers who work by them if you years ago so where is justice red is if. you are in need where. he really don't see it. it is he. actions that are really supporting is all spend see in families who are placed in ships. by the ira and the andrew jordanian government since 1956 and after and the. federal budget what are they what are the legal mechanisms are there
2:41 pm
any legal mechanisms that will allow the palestinians to be able to stay in their homes under israeli law their own diggin issues is. those people who said sure. to leave me are is there is a place to my did jordan government and. your honor law since that period but in defect to different people as other places that they said that the after see years of meetings here jordan government a little help of the owner are you with. just heard. there is those houses in the family nice but this isn't happened and iran had started 96 in 1987 and didn't continue the case so why do seems that in such
2:42 pm
a condition the settlers have their eyes to be appraised by those families in such conditions what any henri you really don't see that those friendly is. the one who will be accused they were to run short of placed in those houses instead of their. own as it's their dead last since thank you for dates after next my bridge and difference between it and the bat and those illegal sitters that i now go read to keep those but the scene in family saudi at it's in it but it became like it twice before then in like in 48 yes it's rare confiscated and they really kicked out from that as it's by the israelis in 84 to 80 or a 1000000 they met by and now this is a net loss for them well let's let's talk about that let's talk about the actual
2:43 pm
laws itself i want to bring in. who joins us from london you'll see what all the jewish activists the juror said is what laws are they using to make the claim that they actually own those properties before $940.00 as far as i could walk out these autumn an era laws that are using only. well. let's look you've got a serious issue of illegal metal present it's a political force in force one of the special some doing though whose english to you know to execute their own political is not the g. intentional deliberate attempt to make the 2 states solution to handle it impossible now from a legal point of view yes some of these houses went on before length in 48 by jewish families and i don't think anyone would dispute it but at the same time so much of the property was on the inside these are not in the occupied territories
2:44 pm
inside these seem to get in line by the 750000 origin of the few jews and i don't think they anyone of them all the descendants of the refugees we find any of them and even easily because we claim to know all the so the ownership is there but this time actually to look at the family politica so that now it sort of goes back to that it will do is to glencoe and and i hope they will it consider a little understand that in the but also from the last yes there might be on a ship there but the results of these might mean much worse in political terms in terms of. well for violence and you know to just say to the status quo delusional the status quo angelos and i want is there is an occupation which 40 percent of the issues no i it's very little light and 60 percent of the jewish population is the 9th and the palestinians are not the same axis to do justice to the cotton is no it
2:45 pm
is the jewish population but you'll see a lot of what we're hearing from the palestinian side is that actually in those neighborhoods under jordanian law when they were under when it was jordan they were given protected residence status which means they're allowed to live there so what is that what is the political motivation behind this white like i just i'm trying to understand if there is not a legal case what's the political motivation behind it. then of the political will to say sion of dissent lets the orderly know from aren't well if he doesn't know them and they don't want to lash of the interest of the settler to make it to state solution based on joe was an ems moscow. officer and and palestine completely impossible what they're trying to encircle by joining to give the jewish neighborhood militants in syria one is a very similar situation all all all in their ship john are the same
2:46 pm
time to exclude from jew was a learned long shot in the refugee camp to the movie which features the jewish population in jerusalem and when they finished to encircle the old city with jewish enable this would make it almost by the way from there we make it almost impossible to have it between palestine and palestinian state if you have a happens and it's got to you know who tunis jews are well let me bring in ronnie horry here in boston rami once again the jewish settlers are riding roughshod over international law whether it's humanitarian law or whether it's designed to protect those who are in the occupation all who have been displaced from their homes though the jewish settlers are doing this as you'll see pointed out with support tacit support from their supporters where then the israeli knesset is there anything the international community can do the un the e.u. and the us a call for restraint but that's not happening. the modern history suggests that
2:47 pm
there is nothing the international community is going to do except issue strong statements that are not followed up by actions that the real situation is that you have the full force of the israeli state and the broader zionist movement that started over a century ago supporting the judy eyes ation of a land and power a sign that. at the balfour declaration $1015.00 was 93 percent palestinian arab and 67 percent jewish say that the sun sutlers running wild you've got the israeli army in military forces more or less supporting them you've got the political system in israel which is increasingly right of center supporting them and you have the legal system and israel supporting them and there's a new element now which is not really new it's been there again since one $1015.00 tilt to now which is very successful zionist israeli manipulation of the
2:48 pm
international media sort of various mechanisms that they use lobbying and intimidation septra to try to silence the palestinian voice and to have the israeli narrative dominate the global media that this is just self-defense we're just applying the law and of course this is what all of the thoughts there in an autocratic regimes around the world do they say we're just applying the law well the law is designed to create a jewish state and the land that had been overwhelmingly arab and this is the continuation from the neck but 4748 until today that's the underlying political issue and it has to be addressed politically the palestinians are essentially leaderless no the jerusalem palestinians are doubly leaderless because the israelis have not allowed any palestinian institutions in jerusalem to persist and work community groups political groups so they only thing they can do is throw plastic chairs and and shoes on and stones and they do that and this is why this him. mens'
2:49 pm
popular resistance comes up spontaneously every time there's something in jerusalem you get thousands and thousands of palestinians out in the streets just standing there trying to say we're not leaving we're not going anywhere what you're actually talking about i think and let's not shy away from using what is effectively apartheid right is that we are saying. well apartheid already exists and we've had the human rights watch and other selim and other people israeli internationals respected groups say that this is an apartheid like system there's no there's no doubt about that what it is is a sustained century old judaization program and what had been arab palestine and the still going on they used many techniques they deny palestinians in jerusalem the right to live there if they spend more than 6 months or whatever it is outside of jerusalem they take away the residency cards that make it impossible for people to travel and work they've only allowed about 5 percent i think of palestinians to be immunized against the virus now so that the name of the zionist
2:50 pm
movement and the state of israel as modern incarnation is to keep minimizing the number of palestinians arabs there so that you can have a predominantly or totally jewish state that the terrible irony of the cruelty of this both for the palestinians and the arabs and the israelis specially for the israelis the number of palestinian arabs now between the jordan river and the mediterranean is greater than the number of jewish israelis there it's quite an extraordinary reality and this is something that the israelis don't know how to deal with the core of the demographic threat which is racist in its own way send this is so that's the bigger picture and it needs a political resolution that needs of resolution either 2 states or one democratic state democratic single state the israelis will never accept. so 2 states is the only thing that might work and that's becoming increasingly difficult because of the judy isolation then colonization program of the israeli government in the world
2:51 pm
seems to accept that they don't really there's no major international pressure until now and this is doubly tragic for the palestinians and for the rule of international law well let's bring in father that ahead in occupied east jerusalem a guest in boston ron horia said actually it needs political pressure but there is no body. to put that pressure on the palestinians are as we've discussed in effect leaderless. and in occupied east jerusalem israeli pointed out the doubly leaderless i mean wary where can you go from head i think. krista for her explanation is why you won't buy. if you're from this china we are it is think of our courses high really know very well is that isn't it and the same this movement or around
2:52 pm
the winner are a taking us as has been bench and the floor. is interposed today and it is through you we are able to hire our producers towards having a really justice and every establishment and their mission of our state with its is using them as a capitan only this end to fall off the united nations the rationing to be improved improved because really are. really really really i really. surprised not taking any actions the actions to now 2 words democracy 2 words heavy duty justice in our continent towards having peace through or is it good we're not using a tiny sign is his feet beside israel. we ask really serious injury had to
2:53 pm
buy they don't want as you know very well and has been rich and you don't want to look nice ours so. from here on really want every single egg to feast and old want to be risen us to support us to be interjected with us and to push mortgage forward to firm up in definition under international your parents will have to implement this little one read gone with a we don't ask who are. they to punish isn't it for it's community from now well let's let's bring in your solicitor in your seem a little bit. of a he's one of the people that kind of understands what israel might be thinking is israel playing a very dangerous game if those 70550 families get every kid have us has to react and have us nose in gaza itself if they don't react the gazans will do something
2:54 pm
if they react that means there's another more tensions in the gaza strip that the issue shake draw isn't just about occupied east jerusalem anymore it's a cross palestinian issue and that could mean that the might be another war in gaza because hamas will have to react is that is that true do you think. i have a clue sure and i think it's early days playing very dangerous getting i think is a limits complaints see i would even say no guns think that they can do whatever they like whether it's in in journalism and or the entire west bank they feel that they received in normalization of relations other cults in the middle east know nothing what to fear i would say to think of your position also change these. these are society in the way this is it is it's much worse than it used to be including the political instability and out of hospital these only society not to the true
2:55 pm
will of the palestinian sides but it's something that easily society should really warning about its own come out and how it's lost since $967.00 is the most. being yet this can will evident you wasn't as in my focus most of the course there's a lot can lead to clashes in the angel alone because we're getting even worse what we've seen in the last 48 hours in the last few weeks it can lead to a war in gaza and we saw in 2000 that this was the luger for the 2nd intifada because of it but definitely it its leader so this is something that is a little shoe to take into account but when i say leadership really is the leadership we need right now in this post that it will i mean the stories because you know we've we're dealing with a school option case in type to stay in power and out of jail thank you for what you're saying we are running out of time and i do want to come to rami hoary as
2:56 pm
well rami is an interesting word that you'll see michael berg use that we don't really hear it very often anymore the intifada are we looking at a potential 3rd intifada when it comes the possums and by infighting we mean revolution. well and the father is a popular uprising and to just express people's humanity and their refusal to acquiesce in their own. suppression and dehumanization and oppression and that this is already going on there's a slow and a father that's were going on for the last 25 years and occasionally bursts out into the 2 big ones but even into father's even how mass firing missiles none of these have resolved the issue they've only seen israeli colonise ation expand settler violence expand and the continued support of the israeli political and legal systems supporting what the settlers are doing so what they're the only way that this issue is going to be resolved is either of there is
2:57 pm
a serious international intervention to force both sides to negotiate a reasonable agreement that's reasonable for the israelis and the palestinians which i believe can still be done or it's going to come from within these societies in terms of either tremendous clashes or miraculously some enlightened leaderships on both sides which is also possible but we don't see signs of it unlike the leaders might pull their people away from the brink there are now into a really a continuation of the of the negotiations with had 40 years of negotiations with their own list 0 results and i think you have to go back to recognize that the zionist colonization of our sign is a process that has been going on since the late 19th century we're now into the 3rd century of this process and the palestinians keep resisting keep fighting there was 750000 palestinian refugees in 1948 who fled or were driven out there
2:58 pm
now somewhere around 4 or 5000000 and so the numbers game is very much against israel they legal game is also probably against israel if you see the increase. global affirmation of his really hard job and at some point soon the political support that israel has almost total political support in the west is starting to crumble because people see the consequences of letting this situation drag on and it's terrible for the israelis as your son is terrible for the palestinians right well i want to thank all our guests we are sadly out of time a fad or how that you'll see michael berg and ronnie corey and thank you to ford saying you can see this and all our other previous programs again any time by visiting our web sites out 0 dot com and for further discussion that's what facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story and you can also join the conversation on twitter we are at a day inside story for me imran khan and
