is a major violation of international law. of course, the rate of the emissions and the frequency has only increased with than you actually are in sworn in last summer. is your so he said when relentless nor families offered compensation nor family is given a new residence to go to. this is all part of the jerusalem you spout is proclaimed goal of maintaining quarter chords. a sonnet, jewish majority in city of jerusalem. the string contacted that jerusalem municipality for a statement that we can included in today's episode. they declined, they didn't respond, so we will continue our conversation with yara xena and muhammad yara, welcome to the screen. good to have you. please introduce yourself to our global audience. thank you for having me and my name is yara. hello ari. i'm a senior analyst, sugar. hello xena. welcome to the screen. please introduce yourself to ad lab audience. tell them who you are and what you do. hi,

amber on. i'm the correspondent and your son for the al jazeera english website. yet to have you and the handmade welcome to the stream. really get heavy. can you? we're wine audience who you are, what you do. thank you. thanks for having our so my name from a recorded line, i'm from jerusalem, palestine and i'm currently the policy correspondent for the new son here in new york. i want to start our conversation with you telling me that you can be part of it as well, feeling youtube right now. a comment section is life comments, questions, concerns, but them right here, i do my best to include them in the show. i want you to meet 2 people. this is mohammed and his daughter yasmin. it was their home that really inspired us to do this story and what happened to their home? they were forcibly expelled. this is mohammed for that by his daughter, jasmine, talking about that experience. certain things in oh, so they little of slots you am. my son woke me up and said that the army are

answering the house. i couldn't leave the room. they came in and arrested me. they stepped on my back and the officer said, i told you i will come and evict you from your home. and i will let you leave your house like a dog barefoot. he stepped on my back and told me, put your head down. i told him that i never put my head done. love little, little dog. because i was leaving the house was demolished. i saw videos and my videos. my heart is broken. i don't know how to express myself. the house that i was raised in now was torn up. everything in the house is gone. the feeling is so hard to see that my father's hard work for 25 years is demolished our memories, my father's heritage, in this land. everything has gone. even the cats and animals that raise in the land or guy really, it that i really i shall stop. we comes our shoes and air fail. autumn will lead to was sort of handful this one was it comes to mind. humanity is why i'm sure the juicer miss policy walks. give me one reason for why. what is your reason for why

this would happen? i mean honestly, there is always a myriad of reasons as to why it's such international law. violations happen under is really rule under zone rule occupied uniform. but we all know that this rule just jurisdiction over palestinian land is inherently illegal. so why the question becomes why the answer is because there used to be a spectacle of violence and a spectacle of dominance over palestinian boys. in the past year, we saw palestinians rise up between the river and the sea chant anti colonial chance. and this has worried authorities, and now they are retaliating and they are making sure they are making a show out of that. this is not just to displace the post union family, but it is about making political, making political again and gaining political popularity among israeli citizens. who are you know, disheartened to say the least by the palestinian national sentiment that has been re popularized in the past few months. if the to resume municipality xena had

replied to a request to give us a statement so we can understand where they were coming from in this instance. why they would do this in the middle of the night to a family who would own that property for many, many years. what would they say? what is the official reason that given zena ah, well, they said that the land been expropriated for public use to build a special needs school. that was the official statement that they gave us. but we just have to point out that there was no demolition order on the house. so the legal pretext is actually irrelevant here. yet, when we see this family story, this family story is not an individual story. there are many, many families who are also living with this threat. but this family, they, they tried really hard to say, ok, let's use the legal means in order to protect us. what do they do? our i think palestinians know that when they engage

in the colonizer legal regime, they're not really hoping for much are expecting much, it's, it's matter of buying time. so, you know, one tool in a large, a tool box of resistance sun. and i think, you know, the many decades we know that we can never achieve justice within this. ready, the regime is designed for a specific purpose. and that is to maintain jewish israeli dominant. so the palestine population. and so when palestinians do engage in these various tactics about buying time and, and trying to, to raise awareness with the international community in the hope that there is some kind of the outside pressure on the israeli regime. this is what i'm, i'm looking at at the local reaction and the local reaction to it could have re but basically a family's home is demolished. so i, that's a whole lot more than a right. but after that, so called raid low who's came out local to

a palestinian also locals who is ray jewish as well, which is really important. you can see some of their reaction in protest. following the definition taken up i, it's apartheid to day. we are facing a fierce attack and shake gerard by settlers and israeli government. they want to evict the neighborhood in order to build $200.00 housing units. oh, and then i demo with xena. when you were reporting this story, this, this incident, what did you see? what did you share with the out of the audience?

online actually woke up early the day at 6 am and i had seen that there's really authorities were pulling out of the area. so i went there. they had closed off the entire area completely while they were reading and demolishing the house. afterwards, there were a few journalists. the family had left the review, the arrested for family members, the head of the household with one and 2 of his sons and his nephew as well. sorry. it was extremely cold outside. my hands were hurting. so i was just thinking about how the family managed for 2 days to stand on top of their house to try and resist the demolition. and, and it happened they were only a few journalists there. there weren't that many people. the house, you know,

they didn't give them time to take anything out of the house, all of their belongings. there were some books on the floor. you could see the families belongings. it was heartbreaking. and yeah, there was, there was the process the next day. but honestly demolition take place on a weekly basis like they and jerusalem palestinians themselves can't keep up with the news. so in this it's not that unique situation and that what happens in just the thought a family is not unique. yesterday there was a demolition and out toward the east of the old city. there are at least 15 people . it was a 22 story, very large home. so it kind of like people are getting these things happen and people just are forced to move on. how things are forced and you

know, she said, palestinians themselves can't keep up with the news. y'all nodded yellow. articulate that. know. trying to keep up with the latest, the latest forced expulsion. how do you even do that? yeah, and i was want to respond to that, the clip that we just for i think there's a big difference between the narrative of the palestinian street and the grassroots and the israeli. and feel patient not to this. you know, palestinians, we palestinians recognize that this isn't israeli raising strategy across colonized palestine to displace palestinians to squeeze palestinians in tiny, tiny pockets of land to basically bankers, penalize them. and this isn't just happening in jerusalem on the west bank. this is happening across colon, i've palestine, for example, in the knock up or so it may be known as the negative, commonly known as the negative. in english, we're seeing thousands of palestinians been displaced and having the homes destroyed on the land annex from them. the key point about checks is wrong,

white mobilize so many people over the summer and some new palestinians is because encapsulates the entire palestinian experience of, of force displacement at the hands of the israeli regime. and i think that the, the major and crucial difference between the 2 different groups of accident i wanted focusing on this particular area of east jerusalem shut off because it's one area that we've gone to know quite well internationally. but the idea of living there as a palestinian mohammed, that idea of will i be out to go home tonight and what will happen to my home? what will happen to our family home, what will happen, drive business and livelihood? can you help us get a greater sense of that because those are feelings those days are sort of psychological feeling that you can always put on a newspaper or put on the news? certainly i think, i think then i was treated very well when she said that there is you know,

a relentlessness to this oppression. one cannot keep up with it. it's constant and it happens all the time. and, and so particularly i know growing up, you grew up with the sleeplessness and diety regarding whether or not you're going to be able to go to your home. i say this without forgetting to mentioned that palestinians across all night, both sides have been able to develop a thicker skin. right? so like we are, we are receiving all these punches, but we are resisting against them. we're struggling against them. and we are able to deal, we're able to deal with them and one way or another understanding of the motion of the sun for your family. it cannot be understood like yada mentioned, it cannot be understood as an isolated incident. this is a tactic. it has been employed for 7 decades, if not more, to eliminate the native palestinian population, reduced them to small pockets of land and implement this jewish majority. and when we talk about jewish missouri, we're talking we're taking the words out of the horses. now this is really official

language and this and diety, the sleeplessness, i'm just on this feeling that you do not belong in your land. you're going to be kicked out of your land is certainly haunting, but it's not one that policy in swallow easily. i'm going to use some use of comments here because our audience is watching right now and following what you're saying. guess? so this is alan. he says, i am shocked that someone can just march in and take someone's house and live yara explain. well, and like said the palestinians, 2 or so that we've been experiencing this but the 2nd 7 decades. and it's been not only supported and followed by the international community, but it's been excused time and time again. and it really is our lift reality in palestine. not just as you know, any injuries inside but, but across and in a way i think we have to as palestinians, we have to step back and remember that even though we have experience, it's not

a whole lot because it is incredibly shocking. and what's even more shocking is that people don't realize that their tax donors are paying for it not to him in the us, but also in europe in the u. k. wherever many people are in his back to me, unknowingly contribution to the israeli regimes, ethnic cleansing the palestinian people. i honestly, i understand the ideas of, of international countries outside of israel, paying for what is happening to palestinians and their homes mean demolish. but be more explicit for people who are watching they are out billions of dollars that go into the funding, the israeli army, and the is ready. and those that money is used to direct be used to destroy palestinian homes, to attack palestinians, to incarcerate palestinians. i'm not through military funding and so through

various different research, conte technology exchanges. the israeli regime is, is so imbedded within the israeli regime. this oppression and domination is where the universe is, for example, all complicit in the oppression of the palestinian people through their research military research take place at the university. and so i don't think people realize how imbedded palestinian oppression is within israeli regime within israeli society . it's basically that bread and butter. this, looking a tweet that mohammed was showing how it took us through this tweet. this is american tax p, a taxpayer dollars in action, israeli occupation authority to thought members of the crime, a family of states demolished at home in occupied recently. this is not the same family that started conversation. this is another family go habit. certainly, i mean there is, when we talk about billions of dollars in the united states, particularly we have $3800000000.00

a year that the american taxpayer just give away to the israeli regime to oppress and you humanize palestinians while americans have a terrible education system on public education system. well american have a shattering public health care system also does not have clean water, right. we're also talking about deadly exchange programs in which is really police come here and trains, american police, and hyper surveillance and racial profiling tactics that can also lead to that as we have seen. and minneapolis is murder of george lloyd. these are the, these, these, these are the ways that are oppression is connected to these foreign governments that give aid to, to there's really government that allow them to continue to subjugation of us all while treating their concerns and coming up, turning their diplomats or neighborhoods from our food and express their dismay. the oppression that we are facing. this is a hypocrisy that must be exposed on the global arena. you cannot just send the diplomats to my backyard and then also spend billions of dollars behind my back to

find the very oppression that you are concerned about. the irony of where to plymouth lives in east jerusalem, where do they live? and so let us all they seen or are they seeing the 46 expulsions? yeah. would you describe that once to our team as standing on the balcony and being able to watch the rates happen? god was such a good a metal. yeah. how would you think it's so it's not about how you go fast and then you know, you go 2nd because you showing the the same perspective god i'm saying it's not a metaphor you there can actually when we are being tear gassed or when our homes are being sprayed, what's con quarter, they can smell it from their windows. this is not something that we, they have to go online to see the something that they can physically see from their windows. i wouldn't bring in

a thought here from somebody we spoke to a little bit earlier that night to the jerusalem human rights consortium. this is ferris who talked about there being no consequences to forcibly in moving palestinians from their home even though it is illegal. this is what pharmacy told us area. susan noticed punishing hulu since the c maturity. it was records. and practically, since that was really been governed by you. i think government and the parents is really prime minister is even the former head of the worst settler cause of those supplements. and the subtler movement is a strategic part are part of equilibrium system. in addition, the certain construction doors for israel comes up as a low cost when it comes to to international presence, the international community. why? because it is a profitable at your policy, con siena,

in all of your reporting. have you ever seen any consequences for palestinians losing their homes, illegally consequences for israeli officials? no. ah, there is no such thing as the accountability here as early as the sole power on the ground. and it implies a policy of creating facts on the ground and, and, you know, past indians, for example, the thought here, family, they're planning to go to the international criminal court. and, and that's, that's been going on the investigation from an international criminal court. ah. 1 has been going on for a while or it was approved recently for them to start investigation and they've just started the process. i don't think nothing in the near future. see any kind of, ah, ah, accountability for his yearly officials. i now i want to share with you a conversation that i corresponded jane space had

a united nations with the and you an ambassador to un from israel. and i'm just going to let james phase pick up the conversation because he asked about the forced explosions and mrs. the response. outside the council chamber, i asked these railey ambassador to explain his government's actions and shake gerad . in regards to what you asked me about, the supposed evictions. again, israel is a low biding country. we have a very respected and responsible and independent legal system. we don't abide by un security council resolutions that's international. our, our legal system is her, is her respected internationally and our courts our own. as i said, independent man, i did, you see the ambassador air quotes for evictions?

did he the air quiz because they're actually forced exposure illegally? i don't think so. but i mean, we're not, we're not all i think that close. yeah. pick up pick up again and so we have yeah, i was saying, i think he was just disappointed the journalist did not say mcclung thing, but i think that flip is hilarious, right? i could sit here in law all day long, but that doesn't mean that i'm telling the truth thing that is rid of the law, biting country, or that the system is in the legal system. it's independent. it's comical and it's also completely this honest, this is a system that was built by enforce settlers that we have seen time and time again. these are settlers that live in our neighborhoods that go to rule on our line. this is a country that had violated international laws time and time ago. and the problem is the international community has offered and allowed and gifted, there's really regime impunity after impunity more and impunity. this is,

these are crimes if committed by another nation. they would be condemned and it would be punished and there would be real consequences. but in our case, more money gets funneled into designers regime and more policies get displayed and we get nothing beyond raise, eyebrows and condemnation. a couple of thoughts here from watching right now. yeah . you go ahead and, and what is it asking is how can the viewers and people around the world support palestinians as they are being pushed out of their hi joe good. i would say to kim, using that, he said that the israeli international, a legal regime is respected by being social community because that's simply not true. the is writing military court system has a 99 percent conviction, right? it's known prince kangaroo court is been continuously condemned as a legal system. and it's also, these really regime is

a signature to so many international treaties and it constantly violates those treated. the company violates international law. and the fact that this, this man and one of the representatives of the ready regime are not cool down is just really it's, it's a pattern of a failure to hold israel account. and it's, and it's lawful have to shake something. was he that mohammed sent to us to really explain the difficulty of family saying how do we protect ourselves? so i'm just going to play the video, have a listen very carefully. oh, a koran. i'm just going to stop there. who could this monday? let me just scroll up so you can see yo 10 yosef that jerusalem councilman that

handles building permits is angry to night. he sites the bible with historical evidence and potential god is he's real estate agent. fantastic. secular regime says we talk about the challenges, the difficulties of palestinians living occupied east jerusalem. you can see that when they're asking for building permits or, or requesting for the safety of their homes and their families, that it's difficult beyond difficult. i'm going to say thank you to yara xena mohammed for being part of today's program. i really appreciate you. it is not an easy conversation to have ever, and i'm not even sure where the progress is happening, but i'm really glad that you were able to bring your reporting xena your thought shower mohammed for to out as you a to the stream. so international audience can stay up to date with the latest and also the personal and humanity side of this issue. thanks for watching. i'll see you next time.
