7:34 am

7:35 am
her brother mohamed being removed by israeli security forces from his neighborhood shake to r. and occupied east jerusalem again these are posted with. that our. i want to bring in our guest to talk about this and what this means we ask our guests introduce themselves 1st nor can we begin with you can tell so a bit about who you are right my name is neural again i'm a media professional former elders reporter now more i look for. public diplomacy if we still have room for that very thank you guy. the director of justin's internet busying she's an independent but he's really in constant danger and it's great that you're a guy and yourself how am use of the nayar palestinian american scholar and
7:36 am
analyst base just outside washington d.c. thank you all for being on the stream today nor we're going to begin with you can you tell us about this video that we're seeing of al kurd family being removed from their neighborhood the shaker our neighborhood and what that means and what that might do to the best way to tensions there. well it certainly won't help with the escalating tensions basically what we're seeing is everything from means night there whether you live in jerusalem or anywhere in the west bank or what your fear is exactly that being removed from your whole having it demolished having it for some reason declared on wanted by by the israeli occupation and to see more who has been fighting so hard and so eloquently for so many years like that with her brother is just heartbreaking and it will only fuel the rage that we've seen all over the west bank and even inside israel and and it has boiled over to gaza as
7:37 am
we know over the past few days so. the guys understand that the court has not ruled that those families have to leave their homes yet the fact that this is happening tonight in the middle of these tensions as there is this a message. well there's been an ongoing court case you for ever so long. the court's decision is still pending it was actually delayed recently just because . israel is fearing elation and asks the court to own judgment based on security considerations just because whatever happens has been influencing the arrest in jerusalem the rest of israel completely and run when we see all this happening it is having a direct impact on what's happening right now in just in lives in haifa in gaza. all interconnected right now. i want to bring in a comment from someone in our community this is micah dan zach he's actually
7:38 am
a former soldier with the idea and now is with herat north america and he actually has a bit to say about this neighborhood. i understand why al-jazeera viewers would want to focus on posting in europe even says including in the shimon city shake jar neighborhood but what about justice for the original residents of she minutes of the jewish residents who bought homes there in 1902 and were ethnically cleansed from those homes by the journey in the army in 1988 and also what about understanding the core cause of the arab israeli conflict we're never going to get to that until we understand the role that anti jewish racism has played in the arab world for over a millennia well before the advent of modern scientism. yourself and you respond to that through what about dozens there that the video. yeah happy to and let me just say about the video we just saw i want to just have viewers realize that what you
7:39 am
just watch there and the reason why what is happening in shifts in iraq has become a significant as it has and has mobilized as many palestinians as it has in jerusalem around jerusalem and throughout the entirety of the land is because while what's happening in cheshire often is very much typical of what palestinians in jerusalem have been facing it is typical of the palestinian experience altogether the experience of being forced from your home from where you live from your neighborhood from your families from your society is an experience that every palestinian everywhere can connect to across generations and you know i personally would absolutely welcome the opportunity to talk about historical justice particularly for 2 thirds of the palestinian population which were forced
7:40 am
from their homes in 1948 denied returned to them by law through the use of discriminatory law by the state of israel which allows a jewish person from brooklyn like the fellow we saw at the start of this conversation to emigrate to the home of a palestinian refugee that's denied return to it living in a refugee camp just a few dozen miles away so i think we should have that conversation we should have it holistically i welcome it and i believe that people have been forced from their homes like the oakland family who is experiencing this for the 3rd time now across several generations should have a right absolutely to return to their homes and their properties and to live with 3 them in equality in those places. thank you suffer for the kind of place and the broader context want to bring in another. comment from someone in our community this is from ami cory he's the director of global engagement at american university of beirut the 1000000 palestinians who have been expelled from their homes by the
7:41 am
british and nationally then by zionist gangs and then by the state of israel in his courts and military those 1000000 have now become around 9000000 poston in refugees most of them are in and around the territory of coastline they're not going anywhere they want a political resolution and only a political resolution to stop the fighting it can happen it happened in south africa and in northern ireland it certainly can happen here and we need better political leaders on all sides to make it. nor do you think about that. yeah i think he hit it right on the head but going back to that soldier who obviously received very good public speaking at training. you know this what about this. is i'm personally really fed up with it because i think that if. it goes to the dehumanization of palestinians continues to tell people that but
7:42 am
wait a minute you know these palestinians they're not really poor palestinians you shouldn't really feel any sympathy for them don't be fooled by the tears there's really a bigger story and it's it's because all arabs and all palestinians here jews and that's really not what it is it produces what's happening to just something that is really not related to the events but more importantly it glosses over the fact that this court family cannot claim the homes they were dispossessed from because israeli law does not allow them to do that and because these courts have not been known to rule in favor of any palestinians even when they prove that the paperwork presented by the settlers is actually falsified and there are cases where these things have happened so to talk about court cases as if and then they lay in court hearings as if that really makes a difference i think is misleading we should tell the viewers that these courts are
7:43 am
. i didn't as a cover in my opinion there are a tool of the dispossession machine they're not a recourse for people to seek justice and that's a very important thing i don't know personally why families keep going to israeli courts personally i wouldn't i understand their desperation but i just don't think that they use our courts that can deliver justice or were designed to deliver justice for palestinians they just simply aren't can i just think that actually north it's just gorgeous if they were going on there because they just wanted to reinforce norris point here you know shit is in occupied territory it's in territory that the entire world with the exception of the state of israel and perhaps one or 2 you know nations in the pacific ocean recognise as occupied territory where international humanitarian law and the geneva
7:44 am
conventions is the legal framework right not the not the israeli court system but of course the israeli government has illegally annexed this territory and does not care what the rest of the world thinks so unfortunately palestinians living in jerusalem are forced. into a situation where the only legal mechanism they have for any sort of redress is within a system that is specifically set up to dispossess them a set of laws that are designed to privilege one group over the other and to facilitate the taking of land from one people and to give it to another so you know i think this is it's it's a madness in some ways that palestinians are left with no choice but to engage in
7:45 am
a a legal system that is designed to deliver injustice to them. i think. we have a caller from another person our community from human rights watch actually a kumar check check this out she has what's called us in a system where is really sutlers are able to fill their swimming pools with subsidized water while palestinians are left queuing in line for bucket a system where an american jewish person who lived their whole life abroad can travel to israel to retire without concern while palestinian who goes abroad even for a few years for graduate studies is worried about losing their residency we can't look at everything all instant every single violation and isolation instead we need to consider the system of oppression under which palestinians are living and the right word to describe that system is the crime of apartheid apartheid and let me
7:46 am
show you what's happening in gaza this has happened within the last 24 hours let's bring up the video with the bombing of the car. there is that is what should i say what should i say this is a crime they were civilians a woman or children about under shop owner these are the people who were at the scene they didn't hit the militants non-official we are civilians sleeping at our homes. looking at our you tube comments there's a lot of progress well there's a lot of comments that are free palestine everyone seems to see those from their own perspective but as the fighting is happening down in gaza very possibly not a 0 supporting the israeli troops are moving toward the border there give us a comment of what's happening in gaza. nor. i
7:47 am
think. that basically what we're seeing right now is the 1st informant result of intentional is collision on the side of israel for the past month a little more than a month there have been a series of decisions 1st in attacking people that were in prayer or in fast in damascus gates attacking them journalists are after that and or at the same time as the attack i'm just shocked that we've seen we've also seen the attacks on the last mosque drew people from across palestine to show solidarity and only then when from started firing rockets at israel civilians in israel did israel choose to respond with great force killing so far about 50 people of them about 5014 children and that's within the past 2 or 3 days these are terrible terrible crimes to add to that. notion that these images that you're just
7:48 am
showing are images close your eyes don't really get to see there are missing from israeli media they're not part of what we see here if you open israeli newspapers or news editions you would see the rocket fire from gaza this is so far killed about 5 israelis but hardly any images from gaza were dozens of health ins of them killed by israel and that is just twisting the way that was israelis perceive the situation and think of themselves ourselves as the main victim of the situation what do you make of the timing of this is happening at the end where they had to come in the next 24 hours and how much of this have to do. his own political troubles. it's an embarrassment to the o's political struggles are very very central to this just to actualize netanyahu has basically lost his opportunity to form a coalition government
7:49 am
a few days ago it was very very likely that within the coming few days you would have seen a new government being formed across extreme right wing moderate fracturing center left and palestinian parties a very very strange coalition that was expected to be formed that would you know basically these moves were perfectly timed really to to the day to lead to this situation where that potential conditions completely flown pards by now the chances of that being created are very much diminished and right now the chances because of this escalating violence because what we're seeing also in terms of not attacks and lynch's of palestinians by jews and just seems throughout the land going now this is what's happening in gaza that the government will not be formed that will either be a right wing government or will go into 5th round of elections sometimes. nor
7:50 am
can i yeah i think you know i want to tell tell you that every time there are elections in israel palestinians kind of take a deep breath and say well you know we should gear up for a round of escalation and it usually is in gaza because that's where the blood bank is right that's where you can flex your muscles and show that you're the big guy and and this is this is even more dangerous what's happening right now is more dangerous i'm not sure that netanyahu is thinking about the consequence of what he has managed to do in addition to probably saving his own political behind is to galvanize palestinian anger across historic palestine. and this is a scene we have not witnessed since the year too. and the feeling of interconnectedness you know the colors of our pain us palestinian may vary it's a gradient right every group of us has their own struggles and their own crosses to
7:51 am
bear but right now all of that is coming across in a unified very loud expression of anger and oneness. and i think that's very significant and there will be more you know developments coming out of this as far as the palestinians are concerned but talking about entering having israeli troops entered into gaza or even escalate further the violence that is. being brought on to gaza i think i mean in my mind personally cannot bear just the idea this is a an area that has been battered battered continuously for over 14 years psychologically what we're talking about is a population that is trapped with nowhere to go oh you know you're showing
7:52 am
a building that houses a lot of our memories as journalists in gaza houses housed many offices. media offices including the a.f.p. and reuters i think at one point or a.p. . but anyways so when there is talk about you know more or maybe ground troops in gaza we know what that means we know that now that the death toll will go dramatically higher now the pain will increase more and now the . time to even reconstruct the pieces with the pieces back together in gaza will be all that much more difficult. and to know that this is done for political expediency just makes it all the more difficult to be honest just swallow given given all of this what about this and that we're hearing i'm going to begin some comments that are within you tube right now this is from mr bill says where the advocates of human rights now surprise something says the question should be
7:53 am
when will both sides stop launching rockets. someone else says this isn't justice and everyone standing by is guilty of injustice palestine is being crushed in israel's point the victim it is clear to see that israel won't stop until they've taken everything i'm curious use of how does the biden administration going to respond to this and does that change the political calculation happening in israel now. yeah i mean i think you know time to understand the situation today we have to look at sort of how we got to this point in terms of some of the shifts in israeli politics and you know i absolutely agree with the with the guy on the fact that it this this seems like a very sort of deliberate and calculated process that led us to this point even before the original court date for the ships are often lease the israeli authorities had several opportunities to deescalate the situation in
7:54 am
jerusalem and chose time and again the path of escalation and further confrontation with people closing off public space shutting off the speakers in the al aqsa mosque closing access to the damascus gate and ultimately coleman aiding in attacks within the al aqsa mosque itself and then raging sight to people all over the world. and i think to understand how we got to this moment you also have to see the dramatic an increase shift in israeli politics to the far right and today you know israeli politics is dominated by right wing ideologues to an extent that we have never seen before. really today in the knesset the vast majority of the knesset seats are held by right wing ideologues the choices today are between you know the liquid party the crude light the crude extreme the could alter our it's all saying
7:55 am
you know various flavors of the same right wing ideology this is come to dominate israeli politics and we have columnists today that are within the israeli knesset and one thing we should keep in mind about benjamin netanyahu he is perhaps unique among israeli politicians of his stature and his ability to utilize communal violence and to motivate activists into taking the extreme. measures when his when his political prospects are in jeopardy and you know anybody who watched the role that he played prior to the assassination of yitzhak rabin and the 1990 s. knows knows exactly what he is capable of. so when you ask about the by the administration look israeli politics has moved in this direction within the context of complete and total impunity because of american policy and protection when we
7:56 am
have sent the message time again to the israelis that the more aggressive you get the more belligerent you get the palestinians we're going to continue to reward you with our support and with our cover and with our tax dollars we've incentivized the race to the right and that's and that's exactly what happened the united states has a great degree of complicity in the monster that's been created today and it's only getting uglier i have less than a minute but biden's got you know what 3 and a half years to address that do you see a change of course in the way you are still his role i think there is a change that you're starting to hear in conversations about this that's increasingly coming into you know the the spaces where elected officials exist but it's not yet with the administration that said they may not be in a position to ignore this particularly as things get more and more violent and ugly and more people are calling on them to recognize their role in enabling it. thank
7:57 am
you not your public opinion in the u.s. is shifting on this including within jewish communities i think they're also hopefully play a role in getting the board to. change and no i have less than a minute left what should we look for the next 24 to 48 hours is washing up on star . i think you should look for what happens within palestinian politics within palestinian towns and cities in the occupied territory and within israel this again sense of oneness i think is something to watch and to keep track of the youth in palestine i have you know do not recognize these imposed borders and they are united in their sense of urgent collective action and regrettably on the ground i see nothing but escalation at this point especially because we have a spineless administration i cannot thank you everyone for joining us and will
