the rate of demolitions and the frequency is only increased to the new as really are in sworn and last summer. is just her, is edwin relentless nor family is offered compensation? no family is given. a new residence to go to. this is all part of the drizzling spouse is proclaimed goal of maintaining, quote unquote, a solid jewish majority in city of jerusalem. the spring contact to the to reason and municipality for statements that we can included in today's episode. they declined, they didn't respond, so we will continue our conversation with yara, xena and mohammed. yeah, all right, welcome to the strain. get to have you, please introduce yourself to our global audience. thank you for having me. and my name is sierra laurie. i'm a senior analyst, sugar. hello xena, welcome to the stream. please introduce yourself to ad lab audience. tell him who you are and what you do. hi, amber on. i'm the correspondent and jerusalem for the al jazeera english. what site

here to have you and the handmade welcome to the stream really gets heavy. can you run out and he you are what you do. thank you. thanks for having on. so my name from a recorded, i'm from jerusalem goldstein and i'm currently the policy correspondent for the nation here in new york. i want to start our conversation with you telling me that you can be part of it as well. feel in youtube right now. a comment section is live comments, questions, concerns, put 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 flipped by his daughter, jasmine, talking about that experience. certain to infinity. oh so they were upset to a m. my son woke me up and said that the army are entering 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. bare foot. he stepped on my back and told me, put your head down. i told him that i never put my head down. love, you know, little dog. because i was leaving the house was demolished. i saw the videos in 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 really i shall stop and we comes her. she is an air fail. autumn will lead to a handful. this one word that comes to mind came a how it is why i'm sure the jewish municipality will give you one reason for why. what is your reason for why this would happen?

i mean honestly, there's always a myriad of reasons to i thought international relations happen on the radio rule under that miss rowe 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 needs to be a spectacle of violence and the spectacle of dominance over palestinian. but in the past year we saw palestinians rise up between the river and the sea chant onto colonial champs. and this has worried authorities, and now they are retaliating and they're making sure they are making a show out of it. this is not just to displace the family, but it is about making political mission, political gain and gaining political popularity among is ready citizens who are you know, disheartened to say, the least by the palestinian national sentiment. the husband we popularized in the past few months. if need to resume this apology,

xena had replied to our 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 they giving xena? well, they said that the london been expert rated for public use to build a special needs school. that was the official lum statement that they gave us. but we just have to point out that there was no demolition order on the house. and so the legal pretext is actually relevant here. yara, 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?

well, i think palestinians know that when they engage in the colonizers legal regime, they're not really hoping for much are expecting much it's, it's matter of buying time, you know, one tool and 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 outside pressure on the israeli regime. this is what i'm looking at at the local reaction and the local reaction to it could have ray, but basically a family's home was demolished. so i, that's a whole lot more than a right. but after that, so called raid jo, who's came out local to

a palestinian also locals who is rain jewish as well, which is really important. you can see some of that reaction in a protest following the demolition. taken up. oh, 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, a zena. when you were reporting this story with this incident, what did you see? what did you share with the out of the audience? online?

i actually woke up early that day at 6 am and i had seen that the, there's really authorities were pulling out of the area. so i went there and they had closed off the entire area completely while they were rating. demolishing the house afterwards. and there were a few journalists, the family had left the review, the arrested for, for family members, the head of the household, on hey, 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 on a top end, oh, there 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 and all of their belongings. there were some books on the floor. you could see the families belongings. it was heartbreaking. and yeah, there was a, there was a protest. the next day, but honestly, you know, demolition take place on a weekly basis, let's say in jerusalem. palestinians themselves can't keep up with the news. and so this it's, it's not a unique situation in that. what happens in shifts that after this that's not how your family is not unique. yesterday there was a demolition and toward the east of the old city there. there are at least 15 people. it was a 2 story, very large home so. so it's, it's kind of like people are getting all these things happen and people just are forced to melbourne, how things are forced to do, you know,

she said palestinians themselves can't keep up with the news now i'm not, it's not yellow ticket that know trying to keep up with the latest, the latest forced exposure and how do you even do that? yeah, and i also want to respond to that, the kid that we just saw. i think that the big difference between the narrative of the palestinian street and the grassroots, and the israeli until occupation activists, you know, palestinians, we palestinians recognize that this is an israeli raising strategy across colonized palestine to displace palestinians to squeeze palestinians in tiny, tiny pockets of land to basically banister nice them and this isn't just happening in jerusalem on the west bank. this is happening across called us punish thought, for example, in the knock up or so. it may be known as that the negative, commonly known as the neck of an english. we're seeing thousands of palestinians being displaced and having that their homes destroyed on that land annex from them . the key points about sexual wrong,

why it mobilized so many people over the summer, 70 palestinians is because it encapsulates the entire palestinian experience of, of forced displacement at the hands of the reading regime. and i think that is the major and crucial difference between the 2 different groups of activists. i wanted focusing on this particular area of these jewish im, shesha 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 to our business and livelihood? can you help us get a great, a sense of that because those are feelings, those. those are sort of psychological feeling that you can always put on a news clip 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 particularly, i know growing up, you grew up with the sleeplessness, anderson's diety, regarding whether or not you are going to be able to go to your home. i say this without, for getting to mentioned that policy and mentioned that across on i was saying have been able to develop a thicker scan, right? so like we are, we are receiving all these punches, but we are resisting against them. we're starting to against them. and we are able to deal were able to deal with them and one way or another. understanding of the militia of the family. it cannot be understood. like you mentioned, it cannot be understood as an isolated incident. this is a topic 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,

i'm this feeling that you do not belong in your land. you're going to be out of your land. it's certainly haunting, but it's not one that palestinian swallow easily. i'm going to use some huge comments here because our audience is watching right now and following what you're saying. yes. so this is alan. he says, i am shot, but someone can just march in and take someone's house and live yara explain. well, and like said the palestinians to us so that we've been experiencing this the 2nd 7 decades. and it's been not me supported and followed by the international community, but it's been excused time and time again. and it really is lived reality in palestine. not just as you know, any injuries. lemme homicide, but, but across and in a way i think we have to, as palestinians, we have to step back and remember that we, even though that 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 in the us, but also in europe in the u. k. wherever many people are in that me unknowingly contribution to the israeli regimes, ethnic cleansing the palestinian people. i honestly, i understand the ideas as of international countries outside of israel, paying for what is happening to palestinians in their homes mean demolish. but be more explicit for people who are watching they were all billions of dollars that go into funding, the israeli army and the ready regime. 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, it's also true of various different research gone technology exchanges. the

these railey regime is, is so embedded within the israeli regime. this oppression and domination is ready and best is for example, complicit in the oppression of the palestinian people through their research. military research takes place as israeli universities. and so i don't think people realize how embedded palestinian oppression is within is reading regime within israeli society. it's basically that bread and butter is looking at a tweet that mohammed has shown how to talk us free this tweet, and this is american tax p, a taxpayer dollars in action. this way, the occupation authorities assault members of the corolla, family of they have demolished their home in elk applied to recently. this is not the same family that's not a, that conversation is another family got to have a 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 preston, to humanize palestinians while americans have a terrible education system. public education system will americans have a shattering public health care system. all flint does not have clean water. right . we're also talking about definitely exchange programs in which is ready. please come here and trains. american please. ready and hyper surveillance and racial profiling tactics that can also lead to that, as we have seen in minneapolis, the murder of george lloyd. these are the, these, these, these are the ways that our question is connected to these foreign governments that give aid to today is really government to allow them to continue to subjugation of us all while tweeting their concerns and coming up, turning their diplomats or neighborhoods date from our food and express their dismay at 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 send billions of dollars behind my back to

fund the very oppression that you are concerned about. the irony thou of why to plymouth lives in east jerusalem where they live. and so of all they seeing and are they seeing these 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 so should i go to a metal? yeah. how would you think it's so it's not about how would you go 1st 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 want to bring in a thought here from somebody we spoke to

a little bit early that night to the jerusalem human rights consortium. this is forrest who talked about there being no consequences to forcibly when moving palestinians from the home, even though it is illegal. this is what pharmacy told us, area on the she was only really says the maturity was rockers, aggressiveness, instead of been governed by 3 government. and the parents in prime minister was even the former head of the worst settler cause of us supplements. and the secular movement is a strategic or an integral part of equilibrium system. in addition, the certain construction of divorce type person comes at no cost when it comes to international presence and the international community. why has it is a profitable as 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. and then channel criminal court ah, 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 8 united nations with the and new

an ambassador to the un from israel. and i'm just going to let james bay's pick up the conversation because he asked about the forced explosions and miss was the response. outside the council chamber, i asked these railey ambassador to explain his government's actions and shake gerra . in regards to what you asked me about, the supposed evictions. again, israel is a low biding country. we have a very respected in 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 caused because they're actually forced exposure illegally?

i don't think so. yeah, i was saying, i think he was just disappointed the journalist did not say ethnic cleansing, but i think that flip is hilarious, right? i could sit here and lie 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 of the defendant. it's comical and it's also completely honest. this is a system that was built by enforce settlers that we have seen time and time again. these are the 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 on 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 punish then there would be real consequences. but in our case,

more money gets funneled into the zionist regime and more policy and get displayed . and we get nothing beyond raise, eyebrows and condemnation. a couple of thoughts here for watching right now. yeah. you go ahead and, and what he's asking is how can the viewers and people around the world support palestinians as they are being pushed out of their 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 israeli military court system has a 99 percent conviction, right. it's known pretty 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 on co 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 dance the car on. i'm just going to stop there. who could this monday? let me just scroll up so you can see yo ton use if that jerusalem councilman that handles building permits is angry tonight. he sites the bible with historical evidence and potential god is he's a real estate agent. fantastic. secular regime says we talk about the challenges,

the difficulties of palestinians live in the occupied east, jerusalem. you can see that when they're asking for building permits or are 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 0 to the stream. so our international audience can stay up to date with the latest and also the personal and humanity side of this issue. thanks for watching us the next time. ah,
