oh, i were driving now to tour, very significant rooftop to see the whole of the holding basin. if we're talking of this battle between east and west jerusalem, your view is need to understand. there is no such concept of arab east jerusalem today. there really isn't, so there's only a small area called the holy basin, which the arab world really wants, which they obviously could never give you the back a little. the conflict is, are the one particular area which is the old city and the area around the old city .

we're not a secret organization, it's a very, very well known, normal regulated nonprofit organization. it's not hidden. from here you get to see what we call the center of the jewish world, central, jewish life, history, heritage. everything about our connection to jerusalem. you shall, i am, starts and has continued for 3800 years from here. i like calling it the pumping station of the jewish world. jerusalem runs through not just our psyche part of our soul that is in the veins and the blood of every single junior matter with around the world. there's 225000 jews in east jerusalem today. nobody is moving those 200000. my parents were born up with a very zionist, a traditional and religious home. and it was obvious that one day they would come to use ro, which they did when they got married. in fact,

i was in some ways started off my life here because i was conceived here in, in israel. but at some point my mom was pregnant when back to a trailer, and that's why our bridge ended up in australia. and 25 years ago. i basically returned home. my body may have been this trail. yeah. but that's all straight is a beautiful country, but it was never, i can refer to what his home home has always been here. who came here when 3800 years ago. know when did you? i came here. 3800 is good. there is no difference between the host of jews that have lived around the world and have tried to come back. every religious jew and every traditional jew that speaks about jerusalem also believes that there will be the 3rd temple. it's not something that we can actively do today because something else exists, it has to be respected. i'll say that again. but that doesn't stop a june from believing, dreaming, and even praying that one day god's house will be there,

that the temple will be on the temple mounds. and always do we don't have the right atmosphere today, the right conditions for that. and that's why we're part of what's called the unfolding redemption process called design is dream, which is being realized that's taking place here. we're part of that the same god creates the world and decide to give this land to his people, the jewish people, which in fact there was nothing here. this was desert. remember, there was nothing outside the walls of the old cities when he abs day talking about they've got a connection for generation. no such thing. the only people there a connection here, the only people with sovereign rights are the jewish people. there's never been an arab state, he with the capital of jerusalem. there's never been a palestinian stadia this talk about palestine, palestine, i've never heard of anything more absurd. me. the philistines were mentioned in the bible. the blessing and would have been quick, 12000 years ago,

knew how to cultivate them. and in fact, we know this because we have started with me . i i it was the sciences that night tunnel. the one that leads from the home spring. all the way to the pools, down the down the road. i used to come with my maternal grandmother. literally. we used to come and have been really bad. right? you were young and that's exactly where you're listening. begin. it began precisely because of this spring, the only spring in the region in white montana really,

for example, who lived really literally up on, on this hell they cultivated the land on the slopes of mountain wolves for many generations. my father started in the school way prior to the 1940 the only high school which was the rest of the my parents' home, my grandparents home, but then a family just 34 minutes from. from here, i have roots in this area and that kind of change history unfolds in many ways. we don't have any exclusive claims. we don't try to have a monopoly on even the historical narrative. everyone is welcome, but the default section that maintains the call on a project that's basically what we refuse. ah, i'm interested in, in addition,

i didn't have to put them in order that was on the scene 11 for me. my school back to the time of pentecost to the 1st century that are 30 physician is christian families in jerusalem. it's the place where my grandparents met. my parents met it. my life is just sort of the this was a business hub, but a simian in jerusalem. i remember when i was a little kid, i would come with my family. this was the most expensive part of jerusalem. it was an industrial sites to

build a wall that connects to 3, there used to be a 3 that connect with all of the different communities in general setup. they come, they build the wall and they shut that. you are no longer have access to your neighbor, you no longer have access to your school. you no longer have access to your work. the alternate for somebody is to travel for an hour or 2 hours to possibly make it to or to possibly make it to school and making it for students. but it's sitting in student living in general to access the school that they used to go through with the classmates and friends. it is, you have to pick what is the last one, the bad image of bringing their soldiers and forcing people to be evicted from that houses today. and the 21st century is uses new technique. they make it impossible for you to live in these neighborhoods. so that you willingly leave because if you

need access to health care, there's no access to health care in this area. if you need access to a job, there's no jobs in this area. there's no social life, it's empty, it's, it goes out the behind the wall is an industrial and the government bring settler, gives us all kinds of benefits for people to start and invest the. and the one thing that people over here who used to be faxed to the owner, to work on a daily wage, if they are granted the permit and the permission to work in effect. and in addition, there isn't really only highway bella still living here from east jewels, and i can neither access the industrial june forward, nor can they access the greatly or new road we for the city is an easy to become invisible. if you want to be a tourist sorta coming into this land, that's many quarter holy. you don't see the assyrians,

you don't see the destruction and the devastation that is happening here that's been happening in jerusalem, but the reality is what segregation, occupations, discrimination injustice. this is a per site in the 21st century and the one of the silent communities within churches have been divided communities in schools have been divided. families have been separated. if you are on that side of the wall and on that side of the wall and you decide to get married, it's easier to apply for immigration and to move to canada or the u. s. and this was happened with my with family members of mine. then to live over here and to work through the bureaucracy of the government. ah

ah, it's amazing how the residence of a country that we were born. and if i was born here, i had to have some sort of citizenship to something being born in jerusalem as an arab. we can't get a signature to anything. are jordan, you citizenship? so we have what for travel. we're not actual citizens of jordan. israel controls jerusalem, we don't have his rarely citizen ships. so we're just stuck in the middle. the picture is larger and more powerful than individuals. i see the ethnic cleansing deliberate system ethic. i know the statistics a quarter of a 1000000 pacino's last that ideas between 967-1994. that's the beginning. it will slow. it's really confusing. how do people in jerusalem that were born here as

arabs? they don't. they don't own anything on paper. i was born here and i'm not allowed to live here anymore. so the study? well the son, as the story of a typical seeing in bright, energetic, highly motivated youngster who wanted really to make it and try for a year and a half to find my decent job. it's the story of many youngsters. many placene youngsters. you don't have to be freud or young to this to realize that your son is really depressed. and when david told me that i cannot keep taking pocket money from him and we both understood what his, what his statement meant. we both went silent. we knew that it was asking for my blessing if you will, that he will travel outside the country to the states in this case where he would ultimately flourish. but his loss, his id. and today he comes here as

a tourist at that hits when he says that he does not understand why it was revoked, i think he's echoing this. you know, he get a sense of belonging, this inclusiveness. we deserve better not capital seniors. while human beings who happen to be living in this part of the world, it's a position of strength. when i recognize the humanity, even of the people who are causing me the stress. because any colonial project will definitely chip at the very humidity of both by an occupied both of us lose our humanity. we become even sub humans. less deserving less. getting less. it shouldn't be the case. it's actually difficult to try to explain the switched the situ, the political situation that we have here,

to people abroad because they don't understand it. they're like, how are you born in a country, but can go back into it. they ask the simple questions. but if you try to answer them in simple and layman terms, they want to understand it because nobody understands us, there is no simple way of explaining why they revoked id or why they took it from me. and it's really complicated. ah, imagine the sd of passing such a loyal internet states that we consider the native americans indigenous peoples has for us, you provide them now with a green card, but other than citizenship and then you will tell them or you broke the law. you have to leave the country as exactly what's happening with israel. so might me since the morning we've only been traveling in less than one kilometers. quit. but we have to travel around 30 kilometers to reach from one point to another,

from the city and neighborhood to another. we are within one kilometer, quit from the south, still in jerusalem columbia as jerusalem. and the world does not represent the border of the city of jerusalem. we are circled by jewish only roads that the road israeli road industrial on military installations. but when it comes to taxpaying, everybody in this neighborhood, and in all of the adjacent neighborhoods be taxes to the municipality. while if you are interested in your neighborhood, you do not get any benefit back from the municipality. the purpose of the wood was to annex all empty land, and this is why you see where the threes are and where the population concentration . like for like colombia, it is to disconnect them from jewels to them in one night, early autumn me came with bulldozers and they came and they said were demolishing

18 and they destroyed the sexes even the commander said you no longer need to watch and just eat it was tv or the news to see syria. this is we're making a new syria and just going out of the city over here, you will see one house after another being destroyed, brought to ruin. when it comes to east jerusalem for out of every 10 houses as under the militia threats already has demolition or the m being processed. as i know this is roy houses you destroy. i mean we need to throw the family to the stroke community. ah. when the shots came from the holiday and we heard cracks, we heard some noise. this was known as my finale is in the most dangerous intersections and sought able he didn't come in through the front entrance. that was what happens to people who were shot. they came into the wrong entrance,

the nightly pyrotechnics of the furniture turned to the camera man. so that's good out of here, sorry, a vo holiday and we'll hold on outages. era o, welcome to portal your gateway to the very best volunteers there as online content that you may have met. a new program that this through our platforms makes a connection and presents a digestible scene, each the award winning online content on their audience. portal with me sound are gotten on out 0 in the latest news as it breaks. a significant number of the 32 attacks carried out in the quarter of 2021 happened in nigeria, salvatore waters with detailed coverage president biden respond policy is the buying close allies and partners,
