5:36 pm
it's much more personal than your other work or your, you know, the work i'm familiar with and for me it really hit differently because of that. yeah, let's as well, thanks. i from that it's good to be here and it's good to see or, and a man and a less tense, a environments. and i was planning, you know, as you heard in the trailer, i have reported from the occupied westbank several times throughout my career. and it's also where most of my family lives. and so i knew i would be taking a trip or this summer. and i was sort of brainstorming with my produce some comments as seen. and he came up with the idea of, you know, year from have ron, i'm actually from have it on both sides, mother and father. so my dad grew up there and lived there the longest. and so the idea came about to go there to visit, have gone to retrace my father's footsteps and to tell the story of the occupation there and a very sort of discovery and personal way. um, you know, we say later in the film that my dad can't really return and i also wanted to, to honor him and to sort of give this as a sort of
5:37 pm
a contribution to my family lineage and to my ancestors. and you know, it's, it's interesting i'm, and i've also worked with you in palestine. i'm curious, working with dean on such a personal project for you reporting and working their day in day out. what was it like for you to be part of that process? actually assistance i was i asked months by every one. yeah. i watch video before the class and i enjoy it. it was definitely when we started to say like when we wanted to go to keep going. and i know it's funny to motion for here. so it's nice, we feel like i'm on boss in just the story. i need to to get there as a spontaneous it should then yeah, like i didn't know it was not because i'm an insurance, something person and like had a child who on the side of hometown, which is nice to see the miles it. so yeah, it was a motion for me doing about this would be a like it because it was, you know,
5:38 pm
and to be honest, i was stuff because when i started something he was but he, you know, be we, we want to be like thank you coffee to be and it was like accident the festive club . i searched with the i stick my mood that we and i feel like i can't seem to understand because i just started with stuff on a from your part is deleted. i've called the police, i okay guys. come down here. you're talking about the interactions with israeli soldiers. correct? yeah, exactly. yeah, and i want to talk to mike because i want to talk more about it. i literally just started rolling and we got pounced on and surrounded and swarmed, and it really set the tone for the rest of the day. and a man really bore the brunt of the harassment that day. and i've like apologize to him so many times and thanked him but, and there's something to say about how targeted cameras are by the, by, there's really military. right. and i hope we can discuss that more because even at the top of the show, i mean of the trailer that we played for our audience. i mean, that was a parent or a on that note. i mean, you've served in the military there in israel,
5:39 pm
and i want to ask you now that you're giving these guided tours in hebron. i know this is part of your job with breaking the silence. tell us why you do that and, and what it was like for you to be part of this project are so very basically break the silence of the room a former soldiers like me. we. busy serving the quite very or different, different times and different places. and all we all share in common is if i understand that we must expose this, we always go with the probation of what it means to control. the thing is the way we do and what it includes. true and the testimonies of our own service. yeah, we already did it. we already took part in it. and now and then being able to do, we can do is talk about this reality process. and this is the, the why don't we do that for the headboard? yeah, the manual mode, this, the fire server you have on our server and even headline you can see very clearly
5:40 pm
the different types of elements, the control of the patient. and i will say that specifically the project with united today we spent together several was a different and then the usual and towards the guide. i also today just came back from petra and body with the nice exhibit defense because it's very rare for me never happened and feel that to it was in the sleep of everyone. we in the dns family is from hebron. yeah. and who would now live somewhere else? so how do we strong ties to be slender and where it pushed away from it? and that was a very special moment for me and also for me, where father's already the building global. so, unique and i go, i'm glad you brought up her father. do you know i've met your father and i have to say, you know, on a personal note, i'm a real tender guy. he can be and you know,
5:41 pm
when i was watching the documentary, i was definitely struck by, by this part of the film. let's share it with our audience. now. come back to you. take a look. a hi barbara. good morning. how are you? oh, i'm fine. i want to show you, i think this is where you grew up is this is one of asleep fast and so sad. do you know? i know how proud your dad is of your journalistic work and just all you've accomplished but, but that moment you're walking there knowing he can't be there. what was it like for you? oh man, if you played another 30 seconds, you see me crying because
5:42 pm
a man asked how does this feel free to do? and i know it was very emotional. i mean there's, there's guilt, there's side miss on his, you know, side this for him where i was standing right? there was a street where no palestinians are allowed to walk. even if they live on that street. they have to exit their homes and enter through a back entrance. and so technically, by virtue of me being posting in america, i wasn't even supposed to be there. but i literally standing 10 feet away or less. that's the cemetery where his parents are buried. you know where my grandparents are, my ancestors are in right above the cemetery is the house he grew up in. and just to see, you know, to think of like the memories he told me about how viber and it was how he used to carry a basket down there and go to the vegetable store and buy for you know, fruit and walk back home. his middle school was on that street. it used to be like, you know, a super busy center of housing in life. and it's an absolute ghost town. and the only sounds you hear the fluttering of his really flags above. and the only people you see are some settlers and some armed soldiers. it just devastated, you know,
5:43 pm
and, and i was really sad for him. so it was, it was quite an emotionally charged moment, which i haven't caught onto and asked me about on camera. i'm is good at that and i'm and i, you know, when you ask dina about that, i'm curious your experience particularly since it's very soldiers killed shooting of all clay things seem from afar. i haven't been there for several years now, but it seems as though it's harder to work as a journalist, it seems as though the occupation is more entrenched. what can you share with us and about what it was like? trying to report this story. like the sudden the palestine showed anyone. it's something great. it sounds like you need to think twice with it, but you've been, i'm just wanting to buy this thing and the other the being here and you know it's, it's hard for me. you, especially when, you know, there's one of those when you are in the country that the, the claim that the out of the country in the middle east. actually the states for
5:44 pm
everyone to state your question. but for me as someone who has been living here for more than happy to use, i know this democracy, it's fake when it's come to a lot of high meetings and, and what's the key for them? we just want to show what's the life of these people. so it's, it's become like the video you're talking about. but i, i want to ask you the, in the civically sorry for giving me after 3. and as you were just about to say, i mean hasn't gotten harder for you, your perception of your ability to move to report. do you feel more targeted? our soldiers harassing you more or more areas off limits are actually yes, a subsidy in windows like i feel like whenever they want to go, especially when they go to west bank. sometimes i see i, i will not go back to my house id, but if i lived in a home and with the truck, i sent everything like this and i'm coming up there. so i feel that i might be more
5:45 pm
than going back to my house because of what's happening to city and they feel it's really hard to deal, especially with. so it's just like, i can't tell these people, they don't see anyone like almost done. but this thing i'm out for now, one of what i do on the do i have on this kind of like this to come to is that and by this time i see nothing wrong. anyone doesn't do i see from like kind of an i'm a place to be, i need to it's not easy to understand and i'm just trying to see i'm, what i see is what i owe to the people. this is my job. most are, and most certainly, and i, i saw that dana and also, or you were both nodding is you were outlining the reality of what it's like to try to work on the ground. we have a small clip from actually the documentary that kind of illustrates this. let's play it for audience and then i'll come to you already take a look done up some last can. i did some stuff that can lead to
5:46 pm
come in home with the home. what can be a good family for investors in the event that something's kind of like a menu? a how good morning. as far as i understand it, i've been following breaking the silence for many years now. but when we look at the politics and, and who the is really people are electing that in yahoo, who is found to be a corrupt leader who was, you know, charge and he somehow made it come back. i'm wondering where is this sort of lack of consciousness of sort of the level of de humanize ation that on the individual level, but also collectively they're, they're, they're putting on this population. why in your opinion, to so many soldiers not sort of wake up and break the silence earlier?
5:47 pm
yeah, i think good. and this is one of the core issues of the problems here and or off in the is rarely beside the where i raised our entire life. i've read, you know, times with our use in high school media and education. everything directs us to become a coma, closer to the military. everything directs us and bills of that and we have the most will. i mean, the world guy talking that the people say about the these relatives rather than say about and, and we are not being in car is whatsoever with and more importantly than that, yeah. or maybe better with that. there is also no incentive of today for these riley to look critically. other situation. yeah, relatively. yeah,
5:48 pm
while of course we all have family members, bridgewater victims of immigration as well. and people who died as a result of the depression. relatively speaking, these rays are not affected by your patient. our day to day life is barely affected by the patient and uh our hold on will be made to develop, denied, and am i know so i, i appreciate it as well and forgive me, i don't mean to interject, but i appreciate this point at the same time, let's take another look at a clip that kind of illustrates the way in which you interacted with the soldiers while you were all working on this. come take a look. the the, the the,
5:49 pm
the tell him what 0. some of the so the you know, already i see them pushing you there. and obviously anyone who's worked on the ground or tried to interact with soldiers, i mean, the dehumanizing is immediate an instant. and do you know why that was all happening? i mean, could you give us a little bit more context of, was that at the beginning of the trip, what was going through your mind? did you think that me, i maybe you wouldn't be able to report the story? i, you know, that was literally when we had just arrived, like i'm gonna just started rolling like 30 seconds prior. we're filling me walking down. that's the 2nd check point. and i was greeting oriend, his colleague, joel and right. as we were saying, hi, how are you? when do you know they came in and they swarmed us and for me like, you know, i had so much anticipation like i had studied the area. i talked to my dad, he drew me maps. i'm visiting my hometown and, and it just got so tainted and you brought up to the novel claire earlier and, you know, she was my friend and she was my colleague and this was just weeks after she was murdered and she was fresh in my mind. i cannot look at and is really soldier and
5:50 pm
not uniform the same way, you know, and what was it different for you? i mean, i know you've worked there before, you've always come across quite quite stoic in your, in your deliveries and then the way you interact with the soldiers. was it different this time because of, of her loss. i mean, she was perhaps, as we all know, maybe one of the most relentless and persistent reporters on this issue and depicting daily life under occupation. so it was different for you. do you know this time? yeah. 100 percent. i mean, even a, you know, in 2018 i met and i were reporting, we weren't doing anything and they threw stun grenades. honest, i've never been under the delusion that being a journalist will somehow protect to me. but when you see how it should be in a block that was murdered in cold blood, despite wearing a helmet and press best marked press despite being a us citizen. and that moment you know, i'm thinking my us passports, not protecting me. the cameras not protecting me, and even in that same location where we were just a few weeks prior,
5:51 pm
another policy, an american journalist named how yes me and was also detained by soldiers there while she was filming her show. she was take and she was strip searched in front of her mother, you know, for no reason and they have one of the soldiers had the but of his rifle and her mother stomach while she was being strict search. i told already, i don't know what would have happened if you guys weren't there. you know, if i didn't have to former israeli soldiers there to protect me in my hometown. so there was a lot of feelings and there was a lot of um, thinking about shipping and thinking about how these guys can do anything. they want me to unity with the backing of the united i. i think that the use of the human i mentioned not one of these is need to understand this together with the issue of the fact that eh, the, the israel and the patient is the greek everything. it can we get, you know, the highest 3 all yeah. the sierra, the mean they are the one of the this year, the last 2 decades of probably not being billed by the by these rarely meet there.
5:52 pm
yeah. and it's not the 1st series that is a is why don't those terrible have dealings out doing that to is doing and, and where does seeing the situation grow? yeah. more but the thing is i'm more sensitive. i it is more home demolition. more home invasions the situation is only because it's worth it is more jerry, dwayne morris, gary 4, and of course what 1st and foremost for police. and those are also for the organizations for the activities it's becoming and more difficult as well. and i know that you feature soldiers who are anonymous most of the time, it's not all the time. and i understand because of the fear of retribution you can comically and, but i wonder without breaking the silence and, and going public and being visible. and, and i think so much of what i've heard is that there's, there's like sort of, um, there's no incentive because they don't see the occupation. it doesn't affect their lives there in israel. so i wonder with all that said, i mean, you know,
5:53 pm
our colleagues sitting when she was killed, we saw a complete lack of accountability, the same themes are discussing impunity. now 6, very long months later we've seen the f. b, i in the us announcing that they're going to launch an investigation. i kind of want to ask you all this. i mean, we've since then heard the white house informing is really counterparts that they weren't involved in the decision to open this investigation. you know, kind of backtracking away from it. you know, this lack of accountability. do you have any hope? i'm not just on the issue of sitting, but i'm, and do you have hope and where do you draw hope from that there will be accountability for each life loss, but also for the broader issues that, that you'd have picked in this document documentary are happening. i like actually i feel does this, don't say no one comes on just they just do about their life and they always say
5:54 pm
that we follow the know which is not true. like the all of the say that we have a lot of no, actually there were all those that deal with the most is oh, when they have how i mean by the state of the house that i understand and say like security and the expense goes guess so i, i don't feel like i went when i went to jeanine last time to see like where it was shit in with what does it tell me? how much it's, it's really obvious. anyone will come through. you need, like, anyone that will have to interest to get together. you know, so that's the sort of just these, the g. i'm with the number of shootings when they claim that does rice, daniel choose on the eviction of city the school and that is to build into that sound like i went down to the point of views just like i can see anything like what a city i used to be a 15 s only, there is a military team and so thing on had
5:55 pm
a direction. i don't feel like it's obvious and i don't think anyone was investigation to and then, and i think what is what i think what so maddening is despite this, as you say, obvious facts on the ground, we still see time and time again. the ability to act with impunity and it's, you know, in the documentary just to bring it back to your work. do you know i wanna, i want to share with their audience a clip of a conversation you had with said it was a young girl there. take a look. and then we'll come back to the the, the, the,
5:56 pm
the copier. you know, on a personal note, what's always so troubling for me and difficult to process when i see these sorts of videos either in your work or on social media is the way that the occupation is rarely soldiers treat or the human eye palestinian children whether abusing them interrogating them, torturing them, whatever it might be. do you know, watching this and being there and bearing witness if you will, seeing the father have to restrain himself? what was that like? i mean, just especially since the impetus of this trip was you kind of coming back to connect with your father's hometown. exactly. i mean i haven't stopped thinking about cello us since the day we met her. and i exactly had that same thought that this could have been my life as a little house to me and girlfriend hebron. and that could have been my father. i
5:57 pm
mean this poor child and her siblings are so traumatized. they were accused of playing with a knife right in front of their house, even though there's cameras surrounding them, proving the contrary. but because of settler went and told the soldier, she had a nice, they believed him and they arrested her as we were standing there talking. you know, it's such a tense situation because their house is, you know, right above them isn't as really settlement. they're surrounded by these illegal is rarely settlers. there are nets above that alley way to catch the stones and the trash and the sometimes you're in that settlers throw down at them. so every little sound we hear, she looks up. and i ask her, are you afraid that they're going to throw something at you? and she said, yes, because it happened so much just a week prior. her 5 year old brother was hit by a rock right here and his face swelled up from a settler. and she told me, you know, we look at the settler kids, we can see them playing with their toys every single day. and we want to go out and play like that. yeah. and this just shows you the innocence of children. her brother said why, let's go, let's go joining them. and she said, we can't join them this. i'm not, not, unfortunately,
5:58 pm
do not. i appreciate you sharing those thoughts so we can continue this conversation now live on air. we've run out of time, but it's an incredible documentary for those of you haven't seen it. check it out. thank you to our guest. the now i'm on an or a certainly not the last time we'll be talking about this here at the stream. be sure to take a look at the documentary and let us know what you think. the the beauty is which the source of nature need to be harmonized with stable and sustainable goals. united with the diversity of cultures that quick
