palestinians, and some israelis frustrated by their political leaders, are making their voices heard. oh, they've been at the forefront of protests against israeli air strikes on gaza. and the force displacement of palestinians from their homes in occupied east jerusalem . some smiled defiantly when arrested by israeli security forces. much of it captured and shared on social media. messages of support from celebrity is an social movements like black lives matter had been shared hundreds of thousands of times. some activists posted graphics on line to try to explain the history of the conflict and a video of the daily show host. trevor know a reacting to the violence has been viewed more than 3000000 times. if you are in a fight where the other person cannot beat you, how hard should you retaliate when they try to hurt you? i'm just talking about the difference in power,

which is something we do all the time. i mean, think about policing. if a man has a knife, should the cops shoot him in many parts around the world, like in the u. k. they say, well, we're gonna do everything we can to try not shoot the person even at risk to ourselves. because at the end of the day, they bought a knife to a gun fight. when you have this much power, what is your responsibility? ah, all right, let's bring in our guess in occupied east jerusalem. maria my, fifi a palestinian activist who was arrested by israeli soldiers during the shift to wrap protests. in brooklyn, mariah kaplan spokesperson for, if not now, a movement of american jews working to end american jewish support for the occupation and in gaza. national showa, a humanitarian worker, a warm welcome to you all, maria. let me start with you today. there is a video showing you as you are being arrested by israeli security forces that went

viral. i want to play a few seconds of that for our viewers, and then i'll come back to you with a question. what did i leave? later in the video, we also see you looking at the camera and smiling defiantly as you're being detained. so i want to ask you 1st, what was going through your mind while all this was happening. and also did you expect this to get the kind of reaction that had hats? hello, a 1st of all, i didn't expect expect this to get to the attention that it got. i didn't know that less than the 1st place. oh basically it was going in my mind is that i was so angry. i was so angry because a what's happening inches that ralph is a is exactly what's happening in jerusalem and it's exactly what's,

what's happens in palestine in general and what's happened in palestine in 1948. i was so angry because it's still happening until today. i was questioning him like, why do you do this? why, why should we sit and go through this for more than 70 years now? so what about since 1948, palestinian a palestinians out, and palestine is under an ongoing due shaping of the land and it hasn't stopped yet . it hasn't still stopped until today and it's one stop in there is still an occupation. so even if we were in the ship, the horse w patient, one stop in its attempts, and it's in and in its occupation measure that when you see this kind of activism from a younger generation of palestinian activists, that emerging right now is getting so much attention in the media and on social media platforms, when you see the videos like the one that we just showed, a few seconds of showing muddy m smiling as she is being arrested. very defiantly.

what does that make you think? does that make you feel more hopeful for the future? well, 1st of all, i'm trying to be on the show and was money on monday. and of course, with this video and with similar activism, it's can but bring hope again for the longest period. i think we have lost we have, we have been thinking for the one that we are talking to our son. we are complaining to our son. we are shouting and screaming and saying no, the counsel on for the longest as if we are fucking to, to, along and having, having the generation with this such, such an amazing example. if it shows that this is a, this is that's true of this is when the through has to,

it has to be disease. if it can save for ever generation after generation will not be in a thing. you know, what happened before. it doesn't, it doesn't work like this, i'm finding the, the world needs to know that needs to see it. and for me as a kind of living in god to see it. so it's so valuable things back for sure. so i want to take a moment, take a step back and look at something that happened at the congress in the us. there were progressive democratic members of u. s. congress on thursday and they were responding to the ongoing conflict with some questioning of the us government's unconditional support of israel is taking this. we must, with no hesitation, demand that our country recognized unconditional support of israel has enabled the ratio of palestinian life and the denial of the rights of millions of refugees. let

me be clear, every single day. in this conflict is a tragedy. every rocket and bomb that target civilians is a war crime mariah when you see what happened in congress when you hear progressive voices who are drawing parallels between the plight of the palestinians and the injustices faced by black americans. they're also comparing israel posture with apartheid era. south africa. what does that make you think does, do you feel as though in some ways public sentiment is shifting just the fact that we are hearing rhetoric from people in congress that we wouldn't really have heard just a few years back? absolutely. i think there is a huge shift under way and i think, you know, seeing i represent played on the house floor, you know, telling the stories of palestinians and of her family. and these are the voices and

stories that have been so systematically excluded and hidden from us. and, and i think our politics are really being transformed by having a policy in american women in congress the 1st time. and, and, you know, and i think as you said, this sort of national and international reckoning that we're having about race and justice and, and, and, you know, i think we can young jewish people, you know, we're being sort of asked to apply that logic. and, you know, to, to, you know, we understand and, and we're, we're learning about the experiences of black americans in this country. and then we're being asked to not apply that logic in palestine. and that's just something that you know, we're not going to do anymore than that. so many people are not willing to ignore any more money. i'm whenever i've reported out of occupied east jerusalem or the

occupied west bank or garza in the past time. and again, i encounter palestinians who tell me how frustrated they are with palestinian political leadership and how ineffective palestinian politicians have been. let me ask you, did you set out to be an activist? i mean, i see that you are a cellist with the palestine youth orchestra. but you know, is this really the only course forward to see any kind of change? oh, 1st of all i met controversies. nothing sadness. my apologies for that. no, it's fine. oh, basically we don't have any one to the present us. oh, as tennis tenants, there's there any propaganda and the is there any music media is really powerful. nobody would tell the stories of us palestinians on earth, us palestinians living in israel or in new jersey, send them,

for example. or what's happening in shakes at an hour is, is just an ongoing thing that happens every day injures and, and the israeli menaced ministry of interior sets. it's demography gone. for jerusalem at 70 percent. is there 80? this means getting the growing number of palestinians to move out of the city. since 1967 until today, hundreds of thousands of palestinians were displayed, displaced by heart, by ways of house demolished and discriminatory of policies and other different err, different ways. so so, so basically from the beginning, the occupation implemented colonial policies of displacement, land confiscation, and other ways. and, but despite, despite all the difficulties, me as palestinians from to jerusalem, go through to get us out of here. must palestinians choose to stay and stand up for the night and dignity and future nozzler earlier today i saw that you tweeted,

i'm very lucky. i could sleep for 3 continuous hours, north and east garza experience. hell last night. i want to ask you, what is the situation there like right now? i must give her that explosion. i am. the situation has been extremely times we have experienced 2014 and, and what was before. and i don't know trying to describe that the words. it's hard to put that and maybe in a 2nd and some of the way you are talking about a continuous bombardment. when you see of ways continuous drawn fire by to adjust the navy time selling that started nice and contributed to the hadn't that's, i was defending to specially in the areas of the north of garza city and the north

of the gulf. the strip which i mean all my friends, i'm the people i know about. i know of and i'm communicating with we were just through the nice trying to check on them and what broke and what didn't break and what does being destroyed and who is keeping their home and all that. i see the panic that people was telling me that seeing from their own windows, people leaving their homes and evacuating running away fleeing. the bombing owners also kept on spending it on the internet and among people along the noise of this one by me. and this heavy around the place was that is actually a building is then the groups are getting in while it and the was was

denied and nothing happened. now the misery of this is that it's happened before. and each time it happens with a certain level of intensity, i even talked of a sentence. i don't know if to make sense, but a war doesn't have a limit, it has nashville and, and each time there is a certain threshold that guess that it's moved. it's flexible, you know, and it keeps on going off and off. so whenever somebody call me and tell me, how are you doing? i'm, i'm fine because i know that there is always worse and there is always the worst situation. and however, the speech of things can go much, much worse, and the more people you know was affected and left their homes a lot evacuated. now the thing out of nowhere, and just random public place order order food,

or the genitive. i know many of those, unfortunately, they have no idea what's going to happen next. however, this time these, these, these very difficult hours, what is important is that we keep ourselves saying meant anything within the house, me and my, my 2 daughters and my husband, that's what, that's our goal because this is such a, such the biggest piece different mariah, the stated mission of your organization is trying to build a movement of jews to in the israeli occupation. what steps need to be taken in order for that to happen? well, i'll say our mission is actually to end. well, any occupation is a worthwhile mission. ours. our goals are more humble and that we're trying to end our community support for the occupation and really end the orthodoxy in our community that says that jewish safety is relying on palestinian suffering. and we

see that as an important step given how often jewish safety a cited as the reason for our government complicity in the occupation and up and upholding systems of apartheid and israel. and so, you know, we are building on decades of jewish progressive organizing and talking and organizing on this issue and are really trying to do our part about our community can be on the right side of this issue. let me ask you, is palestinian leadership? hearing these demands for change? oh, basically nobody. i don't think it is anybody hitting it like from the leadership or it's are going to ration on organizations or human like human rights organizations. like i think what we're doing is very into individual, is it like it's done by individuals? so basically the ones who started the movement and started showing the

world what, what you're doing and what's happening, injury someone, what's happening on people from the neighborhood of just started off when i could, well, how much could they use the on with the weapon that we have seen as social media we use that as a way for us to express our son to reach the humans around the world to reach the 3 humans around the world. and tell this what parent is they are trying to take us to take it away from us. so course the accounts that we, that we it or that talk about palestine and death, tell our stories. i have been deleted. so basically no one presents a search. so ma'am, governments, organizations, what we do is on me individually stake and get we do it's by our lead on. let me

ask you a follow up questions, you know, because a, so much of this is being shared so widely. you have a lot of people who don't typically engage in politics and they are widely sharing info, graphics and videos that are expressing solidarity with the palestinians. what i'm curious about is do you believe that this type of activism, some people call it hash tag activism, but you believe that this type of activism, you know, on the social media platforms is actually leading to a deeper kind of engagement on the issues before before this time before, oh, what's happening today of the okay before, like in 2009 houses in ships of it off where displaced until a settlers took these houses and until today they are still living in these houses before the news would talk about what's happening in ships over, but they still could make it because nobody knew about it during her my protest in

ships. i know i met a girl from another city in palestine, and i told her, i hope this sir. what's happened in 2000 night, which we didn't want to happen again, and she didn't know what's happened in 2009 because the news didn't reach her because it is really media is really powerful. is there any help? again, that is really poet from our news. our stories couldn't reach anyone in the world today. our news, our sounds, our shouts are reaching many people around the worlds because we are the producers of our saudi. we produce the story. we take the photos we took, take the footage, we take these toys and shared them to the world. and this is why they started fighting against our so it is and fighting against our posts. i do believe that because we could share our stories very widely and share our voice is very wide

kneeves. i do have hope that that we will win the case in shakira. but winning the kiss in shift zoloft doesn't mean when it ending the occupation, because what's happening in job that isn't to, on the happening inch of that of it's happening. and the rest of the occupied territories and the rest of historical palestine where i saw you nodding along to a lot of wood, maria was saying there. so i wanted to see if you had a reaction you wanted to add. and i, i also wanted to get from your perspective, your reaction would you believe that this kind of activism that we're seeing playing out, you know, in so many social media platforms right now is actually going to lead to a deeper engagement when it comes to discussing these issues, well just start, i mean, i think, well mary was saying about, you know, it's right now focuses on shift. but welding the christiansen chef drive is not going to end the occupation or insistence of apartheid. and i think that's something that we're trying really trying to lift up in our organizing around this

. and i think so often and what's very frustrating is so often it's described as isolated in some cases of violence or you know, a conflict between 2 equal partners. and that's just not the case. and that is completely bi contextualize. and as both national and marian has that it totally misses kind of the reality on the ground. and also the fact that you know, the tools that israel using are furnished by the united states. many of them by united states government, you know, our government gives $3800000000.00 of military aid israel every year. and so, you know, they're, those are us bomb than us fighter jets that are flattening whole buildings. and it's us, the magic backing that is trying to shield the, the settler enterprise settlement enterprise from any consequences. and so i think,

and i was really touched by what marian said about, you know, that being the producer of your own story. and i do think that's really important again, because as i said, you know, similar to representative police sharing on the house floor. you know, these stories of how many and what palestinians have experienced at the hands of the israeli violence. and this campaign to expand jewish supremacy that has been ongoing for decades and, and that american culture listen to those stories. and so i think it's really important that people are seeing that i think social media has made that much more accessible. and i think that's important, natalie, if i may, i'd like to ask you a little bit more of a personal question. you know, one of the more horrify aspects of all this is the fact that children are continuing to die as an aide worker, as a humanitarian worker. as a mother,

how does that make you feel to continue seeing that play out in god? well, of course, if we live here all our lives, another movie, i will fix that one. and my, my own little 6 and a half and 2014 was i was pregnant with her the 30, maybe start and then it should be then. and then now with this new chapter where she understands and asks very difficult. although the innocent, very difficult question and how can i protect her physically? yeah, that there's something of course that there's a limit to what we can do. however, how can i protect her brain or health wellbeing? her how, how she is raised as a human and above all bus somebody who understand also what's wrong and what is

right and what is just what it's just that her, her parents, i'm here granted and live and so on and so on. the problem is how the challenge that i see. how can i give her whole, now all the only these couple of days despite how challenging horrifying there are . and what fears i personally have now and today of what may come next. how tonight will be on or laurel for them with them or beyond the coming weeks. what is that is that you can do as a parents that you can to keep them saying to me and also teach them the problem. why, why is this to me? i'm, you know, with these 2 days as a, as i mentioned, that the amount of engagement i down the world. it seems

a bit different to me. seems a bit different that not the only, the, the kind of quick support you know, sending messages. hope you're all right. stay safe. where on the side it's, it's not steve on this. what is more important is what's happening in palestine or all of it, and around it, even leaking joy, then, or lebanon. what we're seeing today in this is like, everyone is awake, that this is wrong, and it should stop. so i, i have some hope, however, i know i'm also realistic, that this kid, this reality will not change in a day or in a 2nd. however, i hope that my daughter's when to have a chance to, to love to live a more less kind of traumatized experience and,

and be just ordinary human beings are i will we have run out of time. we're going to have to leave the conversation there. thank you so much to all of our guests. muddy am i fi? fi, mariah kaplan, and national showa. and thank you for watching. you can see this in all of our previous programs again, any time or visiting our website, al jazeera, dot com. and for further discussion, go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter or handle is at a j inside story. for me, ma'am, jim, jim, in the whole team here. bye for now. ah
