ah, i cannot claim today that i'm respecting is read because it's not possible to respect to an outside the human system which brings me and justice and unfairness when i organize voice and i try to show what we are a confronting is actually a very drastic and speedy transformation of our city wherever we go in, due to full majestic damascus gate, we see the hours of the police station say comrades microscope set to watch and to monitor the youth and the people walking in the streets and to take a door. but i just want you to see that there are chargers everywhere. there is a very ugly scene today in the snow, which i try not to beautify but to be indifferent to these ugly themes and to show

what's left of the beautiful palestine and treasurers of the city. these are getting on and this is said owns how he laid his house. he never actually i mean we are here in the month of course are you cannot fill in it unfortunately because there is an occupation because before the occupation of tomorrow was open for everybody. because i think the most difficult and the most challenging part of the occupation in ah, ah, ah, what i want to do now is take you to the center of west jerusalem and just show you

how the occupation is not part of the lives in the fossil people here it is, a visit they go home, i'm originally from from with gentle for them. are you from where the so come visit the old homeland. although zionism played a role in that i was able to come here. you know, i'm like, proud to be able to come here. you know, i thought the idea of israel wasn't such a bad idea if we could accommodate with the palestinian and i really believe that we could find a way to live together and so on. graders are able to dismiss it. they don't think about the land of israel. that's it's in the bible. it's unproblematic, it's ours. we came back. you guys. palestinians are intruders. you know, and you know, this whole claim that actually isn't true,

but the whole claim that there's are a gamut tie between the israelite and the hebrews of the bible and jews of today was what makes that tie. so you know, this is our land. just go back and look at the bible the and that's where israel course gets a lot of support from christian fundamental. not just in the jewish community and abroad. i don't use the word palestinian. we talk about arabs in a very differentiated way. we never use the word occupation. you don't talk about settlement their community. you don't talk about settlers, their jewish residents of community. so the whole language has satisfies everything . if you talk to people, what is the occupation? where is the occupation, what is the palestinian people will know what you're talking and that's for israel has really one, it's insulated people so much from the political reality. that's a 100 meters away. and so in that sense, israel women, because it's taken the whole issue of palestine off the table for israel,

they don't even okay, so we have to talk about alright, okay, great. ah, the erotically, assuming the better did you of this electrical argument issue mad is included in the blessing and in the promise of the multiplication, this is biblical to the problem is if you try and you do succeed in having an ideology imposed on politics or mixture than just mixture of and this is by the way for all christians muslims, and jews does not forget that was only more than 1400 years ago. and the year 68 approximately, he allowed the jews back in july and they were prohibited from living in juice. and for about 5 centuries,

1970 demolished the modem in order to expand the area in front of the western war. daughters demolishing everything historical buildings, including a mosque including school and they have ultimately used graders to so that they would level that man ah, i do this by the idea that we have well defined course all the way from lying to where you have basically major christian sites that almost no family is, for example, who live in the christian court, but it just when you see christian course, it also caught them. it doesn't sound right to build on what the most of i said. my name is irma named after i'm not pub, or the philistine in cushion from one of the main christian families of jerusalem.

i was named after the lisa, as is the money to the beautiful relationship, answered the beautiful fowler and has expressed with his encounter with the throne . you might have the mother of rest had our christian name, but her name is let me because my mother referred me. so we became brother of brother with sisterhood. that is not on the line. and someone message from roman time, they had the strategy that divide and conquer and the british and implemented the 1st, the g very one me . we came down from the neighborhood that i live in good infrastructure, the new u. s. embassy and then you drive down and 1st thing you get is a police station, a border police that kind of clarify from this point on. we need to be in control and then you drive through the neighborhood. but because there's a settlement here,

the settlement behind this, then you see those good infrastructure, there's lights, the sidewalk, and then the entrance to the settlement. come and just after it. and there's no sidewalk. you're in the policy and neighborhood and you really see the difference. and the fact that nobody cares about the infrastructure from that point on because really it's about infrastructure for jewish population. that is really planned to have a minimum people here as possible to be able to keep the jewish majority. and if you want to be a jerusalem, that is, i don't know worth living in for everyone in it. it has to be one that is free of those concepts of racism. but dynamism ah, i grew up in a kind of classic lioness left household. so growing up,

knowing that we're against the occupation, but having no idea what the occupation is for me, one of those like a hum moments of understanding what those consequences are was actually years ago. i have a sister this younger 10 years younger than me. and we were on this trip with different families, so it was just me and her and then different random israeli families and were together for a week. and there was a dinner and we're all talking about, you know, whatever small talk and i was $22.00 at the time. someone asked me, what did you do in the military, which is the normal is really small talk conversation. and just before i answered, i saw my sister kind of her face turning into the really like that. we have to get into this argument again. like does it have to be like this every time? can we just not just be normal? you know, and that's part of what being a dissident in different ways. mean it's saying no, we can't ever just be normal. mm

. oh i, i live is just the default, right? so, so choosing to step out of that is choosing to be difference and to define yourself that different and it has different consequences that are beyond prison. it's choosing to be an outsider. that is the problem there. it's just a feeling that's fair and it's and it's heavy and sure. but it's nothing. right. i did that for a few months. palestinians sit in prison before they're even convicted in most cases just for the duration of a trial and for years on when they are sentenced. right. don't you think that these measures make the people look just simply safer? but building walls checkpoint more like a military police the we live in

a state of fear and we are told to continue to be afraid regardless of what the reality is. i think that this is very strong. within disraeli mentality. i mean, security, we need to be strong, we need to have and we need to be all was in control and so on. it's also very evidence within the education system, the holiday system, and so on. even when you ask is valley officials, what is it about the wall that had to do with security like israeli security officials say very clearly, the wall doesn't prevent people from coming in. inequality is inherent part of the city, 40 percent, almost of the city or not citizen the of the state. they don't have the, the right to vote to be elected. but more importantly, they can lose that. like that's what's on is it looks like a jury because that's what the state looks like. leverage that is the key thing we need to create. it's putting resistance. and we can hope that that resistance will be popular and will not be armed and things of the sort when we talk about boycott

campaigns about divesting campaigns is about creating different frameworks of power that policy and have to leverage to tell israel you want this to and you want this to change. ok. let's go to the table. let's talk about what you give for that. that's not the discussion. it's happening to be me. the 1st thing that struck me really the heavy weight of history that everyone here, there somehow feels that you know, people who live in jerusalem come through time and through their lives just to carry the burden of its history. ah, many needs to face pressure and a threat to,

to move out. but if i can take the opportunity of this interview and speak through you directly to them, i would say despite the cost and despite the difficulties do not give up. never given because palestinians are not people who are coming through this land, just just renting their apartments or their houses for a short period of time before they move on. they are part of this land, they're part of this landscape. one of our patron founders of said the in is the bishop desmond to, to, to, from south africa. and he has this famous saying that says it's an elephant to stepping on the mouth. and you leave it for the elephant and the most to figure out your thing, the size of the elephant. and this is, i think most of us are the things we feel that the mission of community observing us while we are on the margins and we need help with asking help. and you're right to do that. you're absolutely right to, to,

to demand that from the international community and just to ask for it in any context, this would never be a negotiation between equals so how much should we wait as palestinians, or can we wait? we feel we are drowning. we refuse to drown. i think that's the that's the question that you posting and have to answer. and hopefully we will. mm . welcome to the thought africans present at the buffer. i think it's always good to see you on the continent. this is not really is pete, so we call it installed africans and prevented the voltage. but then, and it's amazing of an embassy. we see the occupation, part of what we supposed to be doing is hosting palestinians to our home. most

palestine is i can host them at by this bottle was vitality, is to hold people at rest and also as part of the primitive work. but we had denied that fundamentally as south africa we created what was called the peachy arctic trout. those that imposed partied came together and we really elias the with common principles and i think palestinians have to realize they have in common than that which divides to interestingly we will call those so called tim the said we, we're a people nope. line up to meet us, people want to benefit from our experiences, even the international communities. and i would name countries who have asked us to engage palestinians across the board. but don't you think that russia community, when it comes to south africa, the regime was racist and it had to go away. and there was tongue solidity when it comes to us,

palestinians. it seems as one has impunity. we had the masses of our own destiny at the end of the d. yes, it is true. international solidarity did play a role, an important role in terms of bike or sanctions and whatever else. and i solution of a party, south africa, but it wasn't the south african collective who took to the streets. the palestinians have to work is a collective. you're going to have a math movement in gauging is really a party. and we engage people in terms of the common values that we have in terms of dignity, in terms of human rights, in terms of democracy. and these common values will bring us together underneath the golden dawn of today that has to be respected is the foundation instead of the will mount, mariah. and yes, there is something there today. he got some every religious jew believes that one day in the future will be the 3rd temple were told that by our

prophets was seen, the deserts bloomed in getting the gold we have returned home. but there was something in the hands of god. so the 3rd temple itself very much in the same position that abraham attempted sacrifice. isaac with the 1st temple was of king solomon, and the 2nd temple will also be the surgeon. but there's some things at hand by god, not in man's hand. having a jew, go to the temple mount today to pray, to walk around the whole these place the jewish people in a place that mohammed never visited. the 1st temple existed 1700 years before the done of the rock was even built. some things in the process that we left to god has begun with the tunnel thing. you know, it's nothing to do with the table man's any one tunnel and it's a parallel to the wisdom all nothing to do with the temperament itself. it's absurd hysteria from the world. i'd be more concerned about the legal arrow building on

the temple mount. that's a disgrace. and yet they've managed to get away with the huge boss from the temple mound, destroying things with sick and general period. that's something that should be discussed not what the jews do. walking on the outside of the general amount with by the jewish people had some responsibility to act in a certain way in accordance to the laws that were given by the bible itself. it's very difficult for me to know exactly today. as many rabbis found it, difficult to know exactly what was the specific thing the god was angry with the jews about the people that know the future of profits and foods and neither me

one of my favorite places to be here in jerusalem without a dash is this casual, the old roman road that used to look like that is twice in israel. christian for muslims anyway, we're not talking about sovereignty. can't compromise on sovereignty, no one hands away their homeland. this is not a multicultural democratic side. this is not another strain or america or friends, so english no. this is a jewish state. the jewish people ah . so we are now in the county still pm, which translates to the church of the resurrection. every the very early in the

morning, the muslim families will open the doors of the church because the churches are divided by different christian denomination. and there was a dispute on who should have the key in the door. so they divided the church, but when it came to the contented, the agreed on, on the muslim feminine. they knew the families were respected. just look, i know, i mean, i've seen him both you as efficient and i as a very, very tiny minute. you know, when we are just like this is, this is not in the past. we used to worship and church. the church is the center of the world because of the importance of empty to him of christ. for some centuries, we have been forced to make space for pilgrims and foreigners and we were moved to

one of the churches outside the complex of the church, of that as that action. the same thing at an actual most put example notice would be unit in the way in just go through the model can gate. but there are restrictions on muslims, even those who have no idea civil ship, my nephew and my new dream is to come to jerusalem. they don't have a 3rd of their dream is to come to the church of the holy guys that they are trying to do die east jerusalem. you are the only one that can save the city and if you will not do it. now, a fear that in the future will not be nothing to save because they said to live the are working secretly systematically and they are taking everything they can. so you should do something immediately in the cities and their

risk. ah, i was one of the founders of a settlement in the guys us 3 net setting nixa him with this. and i was one of the founders of need him. it's incredible lay field during these days, so broad to be a 2nd there. it takes. who, who are the 2 years before? yeah, i realize that something it's doesn't work. each ideology has the price on the prize that we are paying for their id. ology of the great israel is, is too much, is too much. oh,

i demand after arrive, i enter it into the army and go to the army because they said that this is my role. zionist should go to the army and fight for the country, knocked over 72. he, you know, the young people war started 2 weeks after a i was a and jarred in front of the dirt egyptian army in see night. it was in, in the hospital for several months when i start to look around me and to see people dying medium, they're also not there is that they lose their sands or sands. they lose their fathers. then

a started the process that it takes me from the right thing to, to the left to the zionist left at the beginning and after then to do de none the value nice left. this is the place where i am now. it was very hard to me to leave my writing friend. i change my mind, but they couldn't change my social group and it takes one year before i say ok, no more right wing. it's easier to change your mind than to change your social environment. you. i was alone in this, in the country. we've been traveling for a week and we've seen was that he had it on the ground in general, had a miserable. you've met the politicians, they, there is no hope. you meet the united nation. they say literally,

there's nothing we can do. it is up to you. we must remain resilient. we must overcome justice for the palestinians and end of the occupation joined the civil society of the for the city and community initiatives like economy can sanction economic measures and things like that. so on, we cannot give in to the powerful decision makers and their allies, the trump, and the powerful in the world. we must come together. we always not only for us or for jerusalem, holy place for religion, but for future generation. empires come and go. but the people remain in this is the story with what has happened throughout every empire blue cross. they have disappeared and became ruins. but the people still stand here.

i use the hello there. let's start in north america and that historic life threatening heat wave continues to break records across western parts of the u. s. and west and canada. this was the scene along canadas west coast. now people here are not used to this kind of heat. the temperatures here are higher than they are in some of the middle eastern countries at the moment. and for a 2nd day in a row, we had an or high record fit for canada in a little village in british columbia. the temperature nearing 50 degrees celsius and this heat is going to continue over the next week,

but temperatures will dip down slightly. now, in contrast to this central areas of the u. s. have seen temperatures a little bit below average. denver seen 27 degrees celsius and we've got the severe storms rolling all the way from the plains, up to the great lakes. we've seen flooding in missouri, and that system is going to push out towards the east coast. ahead of that. we've got temperatures climbing up in new york and things are feeling very humid, but those storms will be coming in as we go towards the weekend. now it's a wet picture as well. in the south east. we've got that tropical storm danny, which has been downgraded to a depression, but that's bringing rain to the carolinas and to georgia. that's the weather. the news a face can lead story without uttering a single word. and knowing going can go

a simple touch informa, the young convent manatee, of life. witness through the limbs of the human eye. it's more than bias. the witness documentary on out is there are the threatening words from to grow and forces in ethiopia, saying they'll stop at nothing until the entire region has liberated ah alarm daren jordan. is there a lie from coming off? israeli forces demolish the palestinian business and occupied eastern islam as anger rises against the threat of more destruction to come the family of palestinian opposition activists and is often not killed last week.
