this is systemic violent that needs to be addressed at its core. we are in a race against the variance. no one said we are also looking at the world as it is right now, not the world. we like it to be. the devil is always going to be in the details. the bottom line, when i was just there on the alarm, richard disparate and you're at the listening post. we're breaking format this week with a special program on palestine and israel. the violence that spiraled through the month of may, the dispossession of palestinians from jerusalem. the blood that was shed at the alex a mosque, the renewed, brutal onslaught on gaza. and the stories of resistance all sounded uncomfortably familiar. but for a change, it seemed like the world was listening. watching this program is about who they're listening to. young palestinians asserting themselves on line and penetrating the

mainstream media by documenting their realities, human rights organizations. finally, seeing legacy media outlets adopting the kind of language terms like apartheid that apply to the occupation. a few days after the cease fire in gaza, we spoke with 2 palestinians who have tilted international attention towards their struggle from gaza. photographer has some solemn whose images captured the bombings and the after effects. but we start with shake, shut our resident and activist moon that occurred who showed downs with armed jewish settlers who were backed by israeli police, put her east jerusalem neighborhood on the map when watching when the l occurred. keep in mind, she is 23 years old. 8 i the breaking news over night in israel police are racing for more pretest and clashes

me and i just want to copy out about how the the me going on, what's going on, what you know, how do you again, at least that, you know, can at least a week. now, nobody will ever then i'm going to send a few minutes and then suddenly decided

money occurred is just one of dozens of activists and journalists arrested and interrogated by the israelis since the so called ceasefire went into effect. correcting off has been following the story for us, tara, what's behind this latest crackdown on palestinians? one of the is really saying about, well, in the case of mono could and her brother, hum, ed, they're accused of things like participating in riots or disturbing the peace. but there really is no peace for palestinians, as you mentioned, ordinary people, activists and john, this a being rounded up violently, often in full view of tv cameras. these ready police have said it open is that out to restore to parents an injury for them. we seen what about me? the next one, somebody palestinian reporter with out there on our back was hospitalized after this and comes up with is rating security. and here is also there is giovanni with 80, a reporter with more than 20 years. experience in jerusalem handle is broken by is

ready for food and she was assaulted in the back of a police car. this is what she was told when she arrived at the police station. it's one of the soldiers told me we will let you shuttle, you all of josie here on the gong for all the jewel is eunice will settle. if we let it be silent. everyone will be israeli as clearly don't like the coverage of this oppression. but how do you stop the messengers when there are so many of them? well, with more violence, more ref, more intimidation, which will only generate more headlines. it seems completely illogical. but here's the thing up until now that strategy has what israel's occupation settlement policy, if building demolitions, there are legal, have been persisted with because of international impunity. but the not of abroad.

if not, the politics is starting to shift and not in israel as favor. just this week, more than 250 john less from some of the top media outlets in the world find a letter addressed to their own industry, saying the quote, sanitizing of israel, systematic oppression of palestinians must stop. and this prospect is telling richard a number of reporters who find that letter from outlet 5, washington post cnn, an a b c did. so anonymous de calling for fact based reporting on palestine, especially in the u. s. media can be professionally costly, even career, and the less of 5 rights groups like human rights watch and that felony that have joined palestinians and use in times like apartheid and ethnic supremacy. it says john, this need to examine whether that coverage reflects that reality. thanks to our

human rights groups or another critically important source of news, content and context on this story. but seller is in israeli human rights organization, the documents violations in the occupied territories. its executive director joins us now. are guy l odd, thanks for speaking with us here at the listening post today. thank you for having me. we heard earlier in the program about mona and mohammed l cord, the video testimony that they've been providing. that's all over social media. how much of that material are israeli audience to see? is it making any kind of impact there? very little, if any at all. and this is just like a very typical situation where the media in israel, almost all of it except very few other examples. it tends to cover things in a very one directional fashion, including for instance, on the recent assault,

the round bomb beings on the gaza. what the public here sees is very one sided. rockets being fire that is really towns and almost 0 coverage of the situation in gaza or in the west bank or an eastern wisdom. it's not the result of some, you know, censorship, it's a result imposed by the government. it is a result of self censorship by the really media that is choosing only to tell him part of the story, but far from the entire story silencing the aspects of what a seal human rights abuses while the bombing in gaza has stopped for now, there's really been no cease fire for ordinary palestinians in israel itself. police have rounded up hundreds of palestinians. citizens arrested many of them, some for simply posting an image or an opinion online. your organization monitors human rights. what does best seller make of the measures? the israeli authorities have been taking under what the israeli authorities call operation law and order. it's an excellent point and i hope that it's one that

could be appreciated by your viewers, that for pedestrians living there is really apartheid. there is not a single 2nd of a ceasefire. there is always one form or another in which put us in the right or under south visor, the authority to be inside the green line. incentives are proper or occupied and illegally. next east jerusalem or in the west bank or in deb, located gaza strip. so there are the moments the day, sometimes the weeks in which there is visible, violence, bombings, killing and so on. better than what you know, who will be food. and then there is international media attention as indeed there should be. but when the cameras turn off, but the students continue to be subject to the daily routine, mundane bureaucratic,

israeli state violence through the imposition of travel restrictions and the needs for permits and the knowledge that if a family member is killed or injured, then the security forces that do it will enjoy almost blanket impunity and the 1000000 other ways in which for the stimulus are abused day in and day out in this oppressive reality. and most of the time it's invisible but for the world. but for the people that are living under the receiving end of this reality, it's relentless and it will not stop until we see structural change as part of what you call your camera project. that selim has been working with palestinian citizens across the west bank and jerusalem to film and document abuses. mona and mohammed l occurred were involved as early as 2011. they were just 14 years old at the time. how does video documentation help expose the everyday violence of the occupation?

yeah, so we've introduced about just over 10 years ago and also the ability to have video footage because there's an ongoing is really propaganda effort to dismiss anything that the pedestrian says as somehow false, even if you have a number of witnesses and medical records. and so on still, there'll be this huge effort to dismiss and discredit. so we were hopeful that with video footage that that would changed out the reality that you had. it's not on there now in ms. taylor, i live and as i saw so long to be held up on monday and on the one hand, i think it's been a very significant success. much thanks to the courage and commitment of put a student volunteers that have been doing this effort to try and just document

their lived experience through these video cameras. how you want to see how that is your serial me on. but at the same time, also been another 10 years of occupation, a freshman impunity for his rallies and apartheid that's. that's the reality. you just used the word apartheid this year best selim joint palestinian rights groups in using that term to describe israel's policies. you were criticized when you did that human rights watch, has since joined you in doing so. why is it so important that journalists and opinion makers covering this story use that word apartheid? i think 1st and foremost, it's important because it's correct and the reality needs to be described in the correct way. and the analysis needs to be done on the basis of facts and not on the basis of wishful thinking. and as long as people around the world continue

describing the situation and here in a way that's untethered from reality, to pretend that there are 2 regimes here and democracy inside the green line in a temper occupation on the other side of the green line. as long as that's the model democracies plus temper occupation, then people are doing the wrong analysis and arriving at the wrong conclusions. no, there are no 2 regimes. here. there is one regime between the river and the see the one of the government of israel that applies the same underlying logic of advancing joyce supremacy at the expense of the rights of the stallions. this has a name, the name for that is apartheid. and we need to be accurate, precise, and honest in addressing this injustice. if we want to end organizations like best selling human rights watch, amnesty international, through your work, you help provide the frameworks for the news narratives on palestine and israel.

you see your work show up in the journalism from your vantage point. is the narrative change in the international narrative on this story? yes, i think we are seeing those changes. and i think 1st and foremost are the result of the work of for the soon activists that have been advancing this. and i hope that we had some modest contribution in this industry guard. it's late, i'd say better late than never it, but i think we are seeing that this is a, this is happening. and i think in a situation which is overall leak like this needs to be spelled out. we shouldn't be, you know, overly optimistic with regard to the situation here. we have a very successful from its own perspective, oppressive regime, again, not only because if its ability to oppress, but because if its ability successfully for decades to get away with it, with impunity. we've seen this pattern before, the unrest, the escalation,

gaza gets bomb, the disproportionate number of palestinian casualties, the eventual cease fire. so how should news organizations treat this story? now that things have, quote, unquote returned to normal, don't look away. and this has happened already, so i mean if i think about gaza and i think about 20082009 and then 2012. and then 2 years later. and then a couple of weeks ago. and yes, there was a time of attention and then attention shifted away, which means the 2000000 people just went back to living in an unbearable blockade. and being cut off from the rest of the planet. and so much human suffering. and such an intrinsic injustice. and us again and again and again and again and again, the attention shift away. this is not a domestic israeli issue. this is one of the most international issue in the

context of human rights in the 21st century. it has to be addressed internationally . and it will not to be addressed internationally. if the media doesn't keep its eye watchful on the situation, even when things go back to what is wrongly often called the status quo, it is never static. it is always the advancement of the privileges of jewish is very, is at the expense of the rights for the stadium. it's a call it ready for the morality of international public opinion who wake up to the injustice here to wake up, to use any apartheid. and to demand change and this can happen through the commitment of the media not to walk away from what's happening here because it doesn't walk away from what's happening here for even a single 2nd for pedestrians living under this reality. guy. a lot of that selim, thanks for speaking with us here at the listening post today. thank you so much.

don't walk away or look away as he put it a message for the global media and those who rely on it for their news and information. palestinians know that their faith will not be to turn in jerusalem or television that international media outlets based in western capitals are the ones that have to stay on this story. if real change is to occur. and if the global media turn their attention elsewhere as they are want to do, there's always social media. it's become the place to go for news content that holds power to account and compels mainstream news organizations to do the say. you've been watching a special edition of our program on palestine, and israel was the next time here with the oh,
