2:37 pm
along the marsh into palestinian areas is once again dangerous. i. 7 or israel is to fly the flag anywhere in israel in jerusalem, eastern islam. it makes a statement is really sovereignty is demonstrated there by the israeli army, the israeli police. that is there and is deciding who can march, where can they march? what flag can be flown by which people and that's going to be a boiling point. c in areas outside of the old city palestinians clashed with israel, police ah, clashes also took place across the occupied westbank where these ready army used lie via and t guests against alarm palestinians of the law. 2 of alex with the kaiser. 33 police. oh, they're gonna come with the opened up another route that was never supposed to have already assumed his way with this by a huge operations. here with
2:38 pm
a drawer with the marches openly challenging, hate slogans, and proclaiming that this is a journey land. this young generation, the route and force, i believe that completely on these people are the ones that are packing, these really government and keeping it in power. and as long as that's the case, i have very loud voice. at the heart of these world government, american out 0 occupied useless. they are like the compound is one of the most volatile flashpoints in occupied east jerusalem for muslims. it contains 2 of islam holding sites, the alex, the mosque, and the dumb of the rock juice, calling temple mount. revering it is their 1st temple, a prey at the western wall in 1967 jordan and israel agreed that the walk if 4 is non trust controls the compound. while israel controls external security, only muslims are allowed to pray in the mosque while jews can pray outside the
2:39 pm
compound at the western wall. the o'keefe allows non wilson's to visit the compound 5 days a week on the it's supervision. terrorists are allowed in, but palestinians are concerned. the site's muslim identity is under threat by altro . right wing religious groups increasingly entering and attempting to pray their illegally. the lads bring in our guests in ramallah in the occupied wes back and stuff about who t is. a palestinian physician activist and politician, he thinks to general of the palestinian national initiative and a former information minister in the palestinian government in tell of even israel keith elder is an author and contributing writer, tolerance newspaper. and in cambridge, in the united states, when the hoary is a syndicated columnist and professor of journalism, the american university of the very one, welcome to you all gentlemen, thank you for joining us here on inside story. i'd like to start with you missed
2:40 pm
about booty. if i may, is the status quo being eroded at alex are and what does that mean for palestinians? viciously. i mean, 1st of all, according to the existing agreements, that's very odd to me has not, i got the most control and who interested on who it actually is. if you have taken with that responsibility from the box and they are bringing in the groups inside the mosque, attacking unions as they did frequency and done. but the more than that, the allowed what is which is the 2nd is that a jewish people who did the mosque, which is a serious violation. they also all plan which is also not allowed. and they did that for minutes and up. this is the vision and vision of
2:41 pm
those who allowed them to do so. and that's besides, of course, that that's a peaceful lordship. but this has become a common practice. one point in ramadan we had more than 200 people in job cbb. one of them actually died because of the effects of those very your, i'm, you on the shippers. so this is a really serious erosion of existing agreements. and it is a bit of school, but most important, it is an attack on the right people. and on to leave them a solution. mr. kieffer elder, i'd like to cross over to you as far as the ear repeat is concerned. he says the status quo remains. israel is committed to the status quo, but this is obviously a divided. can i said, how much support is there for keeping the status quo for changing it is, is it a matter of they just not being adequate security to ensure that the,
2:42 pm
the agreement is upheld in the compound or is there a willful movement to, to change the status quo there. well, i think there was one place in the jews, or maybe in the middle east, which is a mo, fragile and unstable. then harbor shurivo, the temple mount. and this is the church of prime minister bennett. and i think that everything, or is it part of the instability of the government? i think that this is why there is no questions of israel is violating status for thousands of jews were allowed to go there to pray at the factory of the matter is that there is no price tag to this, not in the middle east currency to promote the currency or we don't see any golf country calling their ambassador bank or the jordanian flag was
2:43 pm
taken down on the yeah. voices from washington also quite mild. so for better to win, the balance is between the stability of the government and the coalition. the voices that are coming from his own party, there are protesting the status quo, challenging the status quo. so cause he has to pay lip service there and specially lockheed so that they respected the status quo because we have interest in the gov . we have interest in jordan, but we don't have interest in ramallah and we don't have interest in jerusalem. but the status quo, and here the status quo in on the template. wow. is kind of an ox tomorrow, with the status quo in the peace negotiations there are going lower mr.
2:44 pm
on a cory, i'd like to cross over to you. now, if we accept that there is a, you know, as we've heard, is an erosion of the status quo. there what has led to this is this a rise in popularity or pap smears ability of the ultra nationalist of the, of the far right? once they're sort of wider context here. the word tax i think is a convergence of several trends that we've seen over probably the last 20 years or so. and it's growing faster now with this right wing israeli government. first of all, the increasing right wing settler, ethnic purity, sentiment and israel, the jews, the israelis design this claim to all the land from the river to the sea. the 2nd trend is the total weakness of the palestinian leadership. lack of any serious leadership in jerusalem for the jail. expelled or imitated any
2:45 pm
serious indigenous leadership. and the 3rd is the lack of any external accountability as the american arabs. and none of them are really holding or israel accountable for the events. and it's not just the status quo. the status quo is a very limited focus as a focus on the sample amount. but that's the most sensitive part of the most sensitive district to the city in the center of palestine at the heart of the. ready city and conference going back a 100. ready years is really, i've been suddenly trying to print their control over all of jerusalem by expelling people. jailing people not renewing residents. permits intimidating people, taking overland areas, building your settlement. so this is has to be seen as part of
2:46 pm
a much bigger and much older process. that goes back about a 100 years that has been accelerated because of the 3 reasons that i mentioned. and that's why strong, but that is the only resistance available to the people there. i don't pick up on, on one of your points, the weakness of palestinian leadership and put that to you mister mustafah by booty is palestinian resistance to these changes? is it weakening? on the contrary, it is getting stronger the funny thing and it is week of the palestinian people are not week. and i think what we've seen in jerusalem is i had always act up resistance, popular non violent resistance, standing up to the power of daily army. and locations, and you do this, and i think what we saw are students who are determined to demand their freedom and protect the rights. but what we've seen also is very few. yes. question from the
2:47 pm
side, what we've seen is very few just violation up on the of international law. because the whole monitors about celebrating an illegal act of an extend an invite territory according to international law. this is unlawful and also what we have seen is serious, serious violation of human rights. but assuming people, you can see how the army is behaving at what we also saw is deflection of the how deep and profound the system of is tied in by the time is it when you allow it to carry thousands of flags and prevent students from carrying even a single flag that does that affection of discrimination and reflection, segregation, reflection of the stem of apartheid that is much worse than what event in south africa. but more than that, let me say what we've seen in this much, that it says behavior on illegal settler. again,
2:48 pm
i'm going to be on what was nothing but fashioned behavior. i call the behavior because it was extreme. it was dangerous. the people's lives were risk and the palestinians have nothing to defend themselves while these on attacking them. but also i need you to try to defend themselves. okay, but i want to talk to you a little bit about the, the flag day march. also during the march, we heard calls from some of these far right groups for the expulsion of all palestinians. and for the 1st time, publicly calling for the dismantling of the dome of the rock. i mean aren't these views, these wants very fringe views. now coming more into the mainstream actually i q is so the 1st time in the eighty's, a jewish onto ground members of the jewish underground were arrested before they
2:49 pm
ex, assigned the plan to bomb the waltz. i'm afraid it's not a matter of a will. it's a matter of ability to do this. there are people who are being interviewed about in and they talk about it openly, that it's time to get rid of the mosque and the policy, the how i'm a story and to build a service reading what you could see yesterday children was t shirts on the back of that, it was, it's time to build the 3rd mosque. now the other thing is that we give this government which is completely aware of it. it did the benefits of being deal done due to benjamin antonio. it anyhow, was prime minister, the israel left and the international community would be all over it.
2:50 pm
but since we are so happy that we have lobbied as foreign minister and not keep them a bank via because what we hear from the government is what do you want? you want us to bring down this government has to buy bennett and le pete. and to get bank v as being the minister of police. so these are the public is intimidated bows from the hamas was wanting to shoot rockets on israel, on television, on jews. and that was 2 years ago and are intimidated by nathan. you know, who is provoking this government by sending those people and in setting the people against this government. so and on the other hand, i see the weakness of the palestinian authority because they are also kind of sub contractors of this government. and i remember i interviewed professor saying
2:51 pm
a few years ago and he said it's time to run for mayor chief and he said that he is considering now, you know, it's 55 years of your base of joseph and what we seen from the central we're all statistics in israel, the palestinians are now about 40 percent of the inhabitants of judaism, and they have the right to right. and they can form a coalition, which is where the jewish left and maybe even with the older books. and they can build mos whenever, where they want and stuff. bill, the sentiment is jules, of it. but they don't do this for some reason. you know, i can just say i want, i want to policy there because i can say i must have a bi rooty i would like to add some think i had missed about good well, what i want to say that is not the difference between not and yeah, how the standard that the government, the government instead of consent was
2:52 pm
a leader of settlers. he was the director of the regional council of several months and he himself is next to him. right. linger like nathan. now, he was even the chief of staff that then you know, and i think that it, i think it's shameful that somebody made it will claim to be on the left is supporting the government. and the same applies on best buy. who is i think these people have to bring down the government after this fashion. but more important, i don't agree with mr. show off municipality addiction mom. if you don't plan to stay solution, let's have one democratic state with equal rights for everybody. not municipality elections in general and documentation. and that was submitted ation. and i know that is that since diminishing in the land of palestine exclusive,
2:53 pm
the jewish people, no, you don't want to state solution fine. let's have one solution, one democratic states, and not one type, in which case we can run for the joint. finally, men, and that can be, will not be jewish on. this is the reality. if you want to speak about democracy and not only be exclusive to elections and enjoy that, and this would be a big mistake because that would mean that we understand accepting that not only occupation, but also those of the system of chronically. i'd like to come back to you and just pick up on something you spoke about earlier, about what repercussions there are for israel failing to uphold the agreed status quo around the alex, a more compound is sort of why the arab resistance weakening those that once supported to be strong defenders of the palestinian cause pats not so committed anymore. this clearly
2:54 pm
a change among some are leaderships and countries that are afraid of their governments and rulers just continue the ability to stay on power and therefore cling to external support mainly from the united states. and now, increasingly from israel, these are countries that are essentially being de sovereign eyes. they're losing their sovereignty and they can't make decisions about the defense equipment they want to buy and where they get their water, where they get their food without getting the approval of either the israeli or the american government funds to do so. and therefore, they're clearly as a decline in supporting call by a few of the overwhelming majority of our people which is repeatedly affirmed and public opinion supports the people in support. state fair to say resolution or
2:55 pm
a single jewish is where they are in an a through and stay there, but they can't say there is occupiers and the palestinians must have their say, the refugees must be the result. so this is a bigger issue, the really the significant thing that's happening broadly. we resume our from just from the on the on the how to show. the biggest thing that's happening isn't going on since last may, june. is the reframing of the israel palestine conflict in terms of both sides of ethnic cleansing and the century long conflict between subtler colonialists coming from abroad. and then they just send into or 94 percent of the majority under years ago in this area. the irony and the thing that's important for israelis is that our palestinians between the jordan river and the mediterranean in
2:56 pm
mandated palestine, now make up just over 50 percent of the population. there are more than there are jewish israelis in this land. this trends is going to continue, and this is what's driving some of the, some of the extremism. and what last point i think it's presently significant. there's the trend we see here in the united states, where just the other day, 60 congress, the man and woman statement to the statement wrote a letter to the, to the government. and the us to take the position of cleansing, that the israelis is doing a massage, the religious south of february, when you get 60 people in american congress publicly challenging colonial policies of israel is this is significant. that's not a majority, but it's starting to happen on this mirror all over the united states where there's
2:57 pm
a more there's a greater demand for people right. for 3 years, we're nearing the end of the program. so i'd like to just pass back over to stuff about booty. do you agree with that analysis about there being a re framing of everything and sort of how that's being communicated? i guess i do. absolutely. because i think that is the result of the fact that. busy when the student accepted a very painful compromise was having been long accepting practically less than half of what you and decided we should have the right is that you get to that and meet every possible obstacle to the possibility of faith. and that is rejection. regardless of who are the prime minister in the say, what it's happened, i've been on the home the compromise. and because of that,
2:58 pm
i think it's the expansion. i think what it's doing is i'm coming out to going back to the national that this is one place. and we are invited to full equality and we are entitled to remove the effects of the settler colonial system. and ethnically didn't have to be addressed, which was practice $94846.00. what is now 6 and a half 1000000 punished enough to few these? so i think guess i read because i think now see and believe that is right. does not want and does not want a historical on my car. i will have to leave it there for time. thanks very much for joining us. we'll stop by good the keep it all the and run equally. and thank you to for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website . i'll just there a dot com and just other discussion go to facebook page. facebook dot com forward slash a j inside story. you can also joined the conversation on twitter handle is jane side story for me, kim vanelle,
