3:01 pm
even though that web reports in the media suggesting otherwise he was initially supposed to attend to tel aviv on sunday, but some obstacles delayed negotiations. but things have since gone smoothly. we hope this translates into an actual ceasefire. and that we might see him in baby by the end of the week, his blog was late and separating the lebanese front line from the garza front. but today they managed to separate it. so the separation took some time. just arizona harder has this update from yak in re. yeah. can you still have it on in the past hour? there's been yet another is rarely strike in the town of the day. that's in the baltic district that came without prior warning. most of the thousands of strikes really that is ro, carried out and recently came without prior warning. but yesterday, the is really military issue. evacuation orders for much of file big city and surrounding areas before carrying out a series of air strikes,
3:02 pm
creating more displacements. so as you can see as well, is intensifying and expanding its bombardments yesterday, tens of thousands of people were on the move already 11. on grappling with a massive displacement crisis, there's nowhere for these people to go. so this intensification of the conflict, this escalation, according to what has a bullet m p is a, is a part of is a strategy really of killing and destroying people's homes as well as destroying has the law. but husband are really remaining defiant. it's newly appointed leaders saying that the group is ready for 2 fights really for weeks and months if there is a need and has well, i believe it has leverage because its troops are still fighting. and confronting is really troops along the border as they try to advance into, into southern lebanon. so each side, trying to improve if you like their bargaining position. and they're both negotiating under fire. and gas vine is really striking. a hospital and bait lie
3:03 pm
here has the storage source of medical supplies delivered by the world health organization just 5 days ago. but i'm not allowed one hospital has been struggling to treat people injured and is rosa sold on the north. honey. my mood has moved from dow, blah in central casa. we spoke with dr. hassan, i'll those of you are the director of governmental going hospital who described the talk of why the tries you. because if you have the ability of the huffman it's already out of, of service, and this hot your medical supplies was not just very much needed for the injuries inside the house, with the 3 of them. after did really military storm duff facility destroyed, major part of it, the properties, detaining close to 30 of medical staff just leaving a whole hilde facility with, with, for medical to stop having use the search for survivors and cleanup efforts for continuing in spain after it stop at its worst flooding in 30 years,
3:04 pm
at least $95.00 people died after a year's worth of rain fell in just 8 hours. cars have been stranded on bridges on the outskirts of valencia and debris is strewn across neighborhoods. a. hey, yes, today this was full of people and today it's still empty. it's us a desolation with time. everything will go back to normal. just like the rest of the day before yesterday was very horrible. we'd never experienced this before. this is something that came to us. it's ruined the town we live, we are very bad, very bad. i'm in a very poor mood. i haven't seen this in my life. i feel very bad to be honest. and taiwan is being lashed by the largest super ty, phone tape. the island in nearly 30 years. stifling con rate is larger than the island itself. and it's bringing gusts of up to 250 kilometers for our tens of thousands of shows have been destroyed. and those are the headlines coming up next to knowledge is era is the documentary. israel is an episode to
3:05 pm
the . ready the the, the non jewish community does not understand our fixation, our obsession with israel, the
3:06 pm
from the united states. the, everybody knows somebody who is an army israeli soldiers, they're hot, they're awesome, they're strong, they're everything. we could all want to see the new york. i came out 1st right of 2016. i joined the army based my flight back to the
3:07 pm
the 1st time i've been to the united states. i met so many nice people. jewish americans will tell me things like we like you, but we don't like palestinians, even though i'm the only palestinian pay. know of course around that time i would take it personally. but then you come to realize that people do not know they know nothing about the same house seen is or have no idea about what policy is,
3:08 pm
are going through the coming into the house 9 for the 1st. and i remember asking people, what do you think should i do it? and the response that i always got was, you know, you're going to be killed the
3:09 pm
palestinians in the west bank, even though their lives are controlled by the state of israel from morning noon and night are not even see a radically citizens of the country in which they live, you see in some way what non democracy looks like up close. when people look at the west contain says, this is an apartheid system. it's not just throwing out a word a policy in the lives under a different legal system then. and there's really subtler living nexstar the you see these facts on the grounds or speech to talk to me in what understand this is a process of the conversation part by the team. i remember crossing that checkpoint into bethlehem, and before this i had been very much opposed to ever using the word apartheid but
3:10 pm
seems to live night and day difference just by crossing this wall. change that for me in an instant the serving in serving and these are the army is obviously one way of supporting israel . but there's also another modern battle that is happening on campuses each and every single day in your standing in the front of it. and i mean the, is there any government needs or a people of thank you for that invest waiting for me here? probably for that. so uh, there's a lot of p, i to be me this universities think god is fairly a political but i've heard all over the place how universities are these,
3:11 pm
how best of anti semitic advantages really work. i remember very vividly, i was sitting in my dorm room with a friend of mine. we got a phone call that an anti israel bill was being introduced in the student government. we both in the, on the way call, our parents both got sense talking points and then we went into the student government meeting the, the student center at the university of california, berkeley calling on campus officials to divest from companies that supply weapons that israel uses. and its occupation of the palestinian territories. your siding
3:12 pm
with the policy is and is really costs and you're conflict. there's just no question about it. i just knew it was this type of thing that i had to fight. this is my services. if you were trying to make me feel marginalized on my own campus, and i remember as all of us like, well, you shouldn't boy kind of israel because it's applying a double standard. and you shouldn't a boy because these are all because it's unfair to single out his room. do you remember the we're area meeting and i still remember you have these palestinian students who get up and said, you know jewish students, you are crying about feeling silence and marginalized. you know, my aunts and cousins didn't sleep for weeks while bonds were falling overhead and
3:13 pm
gaza. what do you have to say that if divestment is hostile, then then where do we begin to discard the hostility of a military occupation? i was thrown into all these conversations where people were throwing round all these words that i never heard before, occupation settlements apartheid ethnic cleansing. i just never heard anyone use any of these terms before. i thought i knew so much about it as well, but i didn't really know what anybody was talking about when they were talking. all of these things the i remember coming to hello and saying, why are we answering calls to new students? questions? i was really embarrassed by it because mostly i felt like we weren't doing a good job, refuting their arguments. do we not have an actual counter argument besides like rockets, double standard, anti semitism, people, people. i couldn't get an answer from anybody. and that was really disturbing. for
3:14 pm
me, when there are these people called palestinians who thinks in israel wields all of his power over their lives and don't have right. don't have water. what like literally what is this? how is this happening? how do i, how do i respond to it? people that have a problem, israel does a good chance there is guidance somewhere that everyone has the freedom in israel and you can have a new religion if you could do whatever you want and as well. but only this role in the middle. there's a lot of like, it's a lot of, it's a lot of this information. some of it comes from misinformation, some of that comes from ignorance. so that comes from lives. and it's very hard to deal with that and any kind of a positive way when they're coming from such a place of not understanding what the reality of the situation when they just have this in their, in their head office misinformation and all these life. and so how pro palestinian
3:15 pm
has become pro social justice i wanted to know answers from within my own community and nobody could answer those questions for me. oh is it that i am like the best the jewish community has to offer? i've been through all the trainings all the program and i don't know what the occupation is. i don't know what the settlement side essentially got to a point where i found myself wanting answers to the questions of how sending and students were asking. and so it letting me on a process of trying to configure those things out for myself or what is this thing that was so horrified that you can't bear to let me see it the, the summer after my freshman year, i went to palestine and i knowingly cross the line for the 1st time,
3:16 pm
the i don't think i realized the extent to which what i would come to see on the ground when really shocked me and verify me. if you look at your mouth, you're standing again, right before is going to turn i just left behind you guys, a block of houses, the people moving and all these apartments here, we're not allowed to walk on this main road. so this was like a red road to sterilize road. and imagine if you're family living here, you can open the front door of your house and i am listening to palestinian students talking about what it was like being beaten. that
3:17 pm
a check point and sitting down with a policy and in family and hearing their story about being displaced by israeli settlers. and even when we fix the water was and, and we tried to cultivate the rainwater to come into the water. well, even those things are being attacked by the surplus. other they still grow a stones in them or they throw chemicals on them or they throw dead animals and the well really saying 1st, the welcomes you and sincere thank you very much for coming, especially because your jewish in the area here is populated by, by the state in farmers supreme court, the news ran rule that they're allowed, leaving the gates that are here. they're not the bill. they me see today the super administration and jeremy came and demolished some of the defense here.
3:18 pm
something is deeply wrong here and it's, it's breaking my heart the what we've been told is that the only way they choose can be safe is this palestinians are not safe. and i guess the more i learned about that, the more i came to see that as a lie the so this is the checkpoint that divides jerusalem from bethlehem. the hosting is definitely cannot drive. so you can see that we're basically driving the walls on both sides of us right now. the
3:19 pm
only that's like the major square or, or where do i go? we're in your head the, this is my bottom of the event that this person as someone who came to see places that i should imagine at home. i remember coming in to the west bank and seeing this place as someone else's home. this is normal place for people who are just trying to live their lives for me to get to jerusalem . i have to think of 1st of all having the permit getting the check point waiting
3:20 pm
in line for the check point. getting to the soldiers at the check point, this was their my do anything to me at that point including sending me back and then crossing the check point and then having to take public transportation. i just the fact that i cannot drive straight as a tennis thing and i cannot drive in jerusalem or anywhere. and as we drove here today and, and if i'm not home by 10, see, and when i get caught on the other side, then i can be detained. i could lose my permit for good. i could be put in prison. that could be beaten up by so is this what else? what will happen to me almost any rooftop you stand on an bethlehem. you look one way or the other. you will see a settlement built around i started coming here in 2010. i heard you speak to people about anti semitism and inherited drama and started thinking a lot about what a challenge my community around the deep range from those that are
3:21 pm
totally stopping us from any sort of movement on this issue. my 1st learning experience was so when i was invited to go dolphins on a bearing with this retreat, i actually say the knowledge that side discovered one of the main reasons why this conflict exists to which is this inheritance trauma that exist in the jewish community. where the feeling is that as use we're always attacked, we've always been attacked, will always be attacked. and therefore, the only way to maintain ourselves is to create this very suppressive security mechanism that would prevent this from happening again. i mean, that's what i learned. yeah. that that's what i heard. busy it is important for many of the really susan judges from around the world we talk to is the simple
3:22 pm
recognition, an acknowledgment of a storage space. and that story is where the healing work begins to happen. the as an active, as i think for many active us, what keeps us going is our ability to be able to look towards the future. i really believe that there is an emerging awakening within the american jewish community. i've had even some american jews who come here and they say we came to israel and we left from palestine. the for americans is coming here and listening to us and hearing us and seeing our humanity and understanding that we are not just now sitting in bunkers, planning the next attack against israel's, that we do have a desire to live in peace and to have our freedom into the walk in our streets. indeed our restaurants and we have and it's crazy that i have to say this,
3:23 pm
that we are real human beings, that this one to survive and live in like all other people in this world. the moment they see this and experience this for themselves, if create something, it shift something in the what they do with this when they go back, it becomes their responsibility. i came home and spoke out, i think and actually it was very painful and shocking for a lot of people. i had friends from high school and from college who didn't know how to speak to me at the beginning because these conversations were forbidden for us growing up the i've grown up very much as
3:24 pm
a product of this mass mobilization across the community to ensure that young people stay engaged in pro israel policy. for most people i know who actually took the time to see with their own eyes. what was happening. it very quickly challenges every thing we've been taught, it's very painful because it is so intimately bound up with the identity of the community. there have always been jews who have spoken out for post indian rights and more and more people are willing to take off their binders. looking at this reality, saying this is intolerable. the
3:25 pm
i continued to meet more and more young people like me who are having similar experiences. and it made me realize that i was part of the bigger story of something that was happening, not just to me, but to young people around the country. we decided to bring the crisis of america into your support for israel to the doorsteps of jewish institutions, to force that conversation in public the, the the 1st of all, my friends and apax stopped talking to me. i have lots of many childhood friends
3:26 pm
over this. also many friends as like, come along politically with me over the years. many in my family have also many in my family, also deeply disagree with me. every time i have purchased it outside of a jewish communal event of some kind, i have seen a friend, a family friend, a parent of a friend. on the other side of the american. we're literally talking about parents and children, young jews. they go to the jewish federations, they go to the reform movement, they go to their day schools and they say, you mobilized me to be a soldier for israel. but i had been completely misled. we are also in a moment when there is the possibility of, of some kind of alternative i see it hundreds of times over and over again and
3:27 pm
those hundreds speak for thousands and they went to the jewish camps and they went to the day schools and they went to the synagogue hebrew school. they're really, really angry at the way they were educated and the way that they were indoctrinated about these issues. and justifiably so, the indoctrination is so severe. it's almost hard to have a conversation about it before breaking it is heartbreaking. our community right now has to grapple with our complicity. the jewish opinion is split. some jewish groups vocally opposed. israel's military policies more than a 1000 jewish active espy, send it on washington, d. c. sunday. to protest. a problem
3:28 pm
that you referenced the the new, the you got a number of your jewish brothers and sisters who are undergoing more of a spiritual awakening that deeply concerned about assessing the palestinians. and they come from the people who have been hated. but they don't want to see the cycle of hate perpetrated even by the jews themselves. the it was reported to look at actual information on the ground looks at the way that this issue is framed in the media. how is used to justify the escalation for louis clay? anything new years that are known as the media?
3:29 pm
and they think it's how it is weaponized is this online push has been aimed at the smartphone generation, the 1st ever female let this operational. thank you. like what they're trying to sell right now is a full blown genocide. the listening post because the media on al jazeera, he says he went toward towards syria to provide a lifetime entail was very interesting, but not in the eyes of his government. this has been home for so many years in the final parts of the series. we follow the story of a british age worker, as he flees from it live with his family. have to be interested by a powerful village shop. one of the toughest times when they tortured me state list in syria on now to 0. the
3:30 pm
limits to have a dream contained to study in your own adventure, now counter arrange the hello. again. i'm fully valuable in doha with the headlines on algae 0. these really ami has carried out u. s. strikes on the ancient city of bile, back in the east of lebanon. and despite that, lebanon's k take a prime minister says he remains optimistic, a sci fi i will be announced in the coming days of the south. i would like him to call the me, hopefully in the coming hours. so days we'll see, see spot in my conversation with a most hochstein. he was very helpful. even though that web reports in the media
3:31 pm
suggesting otherwise, he was initially supposed to attend to tel aviv on sunday, but some obstacles delayed negotiations. but things have since gone smoothly. we hope this translates into an actual ceasefire, and that we might see him in baby by the end of the week, as blog was late and separating the lebanese front line from the gauze front. but today they managed to separate it. so the separation took some time for 5 people have been killed and it has the rock has strike from 11 on into the know phase row . 4 of the victims were 4 and workers, while the 5th was and is really pharma. these are the ami says the rocket 9 that in mid july town, situated on the 11 on israel. the border in guys is really striking. a hospital in bate la here in the nose has destroyed stores of medical supplies delivered by the world health organization. just 5 days ago. the come odd one hospital has been struggling to treat people injured in his rouse,
3:32 pm
i sold on and off. a number of ultra orthodox jewish man has been arrested at a protest against his wrath compulsory military service. the confrontation in western roost, men is the latest sign of defiance against the new laws. in july, these really military sent out the 1st conscription notices to go to orthodox jewish men that followed a supreme court ruling that a government must stop exempting nothing, use the search for survivors and clean up efforts. continuing in spain after it's separate, it's worst flooding in 30 years. at least $95.00 people died after a years worth of rain fell in just 8 hours. cars have been stranded on bridges on the outskirts of valencia and debris is thrown across neighborhoods. and taiwan is being launched by the largest super typhoid to hit the island in the fifty's typhoid conway is larger than the island itself. and is bringing winds of up to 250 kilometers for those are the headlines is really, is an episode to continues next. the
3:33 pm
the, every time i try to sit outside of a jewish communal event of some kind, i have seen a friend, a family friend, a parent of a friend on the other side of the barricade. very literally talking about parents and children. the indoctrination is so severe it's almost hard to have a conversation about it is heartbreaking. it is heartbreaking. our community right now has to grapple with our complicity the new day. now you've got a number of young, jewish brothers and sisters who are undergoing more on spiritual awakening that
3:34 pm
deeply concerned about assessing the palestinians. and they come from the people who have been hated. but they don't want to see the cycle of hate perpetrated even 5 jews themselves is real part of my life since early child is the jewish community. all there's been a striking change. is rules well aware of human will can change things. my name is tanya, this is the 1st time i am using my full real name to stand in solid already with tell us any. i never thought in my life that i would be standing with this many jews for pounds as long as the lines are treated as disposable. our house as a whole is not in order to
3:35 pm
get in the congress woman receipt of tilly. i am the only palestinian american member of congress now, how many palestinians have to die for their lives to mount or live under apartheid strips, palestinians of their human dignity. how many more decades do they need to enjoy this subjugation before? there is a ship in this unreasonable style as quote and what would you recommend? i would recommend freedom the real challenge is trying to cheat that spiritual dimensions. wrong
3:36 pm
does any time you kind of gauge? the views are blogging. 8 the
3:37 pm
i don't think it just serious as it's made up to be okay they're, they're entitled that's fine. okay. i don't think they represent much. i think they're a little super 9. a, i think the just in most american jews, even though they have different views on supplements or occupation, i think that's still a decision. at the end of the day, they're going to leave for these movies to make as long as it's real is under threat. as 10, as strong as it is, and as dynamic goes, it is, it's still under threat from its neighbors and a $100000.00 missiles. we postpone that philosophical debate to another time the palestinians are so the human ised in the community that it's really hard for people to figure out how to even understand palestinians,
3:38 pm
legitimate rights and claims to the land palestinians gather for protest as he is really god. and border that demanding the rights of attentive lance and list of a forced out in 1940 of at least $55.00 palestinians died monday during mass protest is rarely troops fired on the demonstrators. it was somebody july, visually on the i've had with the session with the the look at the more recent gaza demonstrations. ask yourself the question, if the mexicans stood at the border in march, a 1000000 mexicans and 20000 mexicans. what were america, do you know, 1st of or try, dear, guess and done with that and eventually what aptitude there are a lot of jewish young people who see a jewish establishment that is racist,
3:39 pm
but is nationalistic where it was in the midwest. so the neighbors are not necessarily with jones or dismiss, i don't want to do, right? we don't want to be a part of that, but we are actually building an alternative i've been involved in this work for about a decade. i was seeing as a face of this young, growing jewish resistance to the american jewish establishment. it made perfect sense to me that for and he would hire someone like me as a jewish irish coordinator within about 48 hours of being on the campaign. the attack started rolling and these old man from the jewish
3:40 pm
establishment, came out to say, you know, that was dangerous, that i was a threat. a journalist wrote an article about me. the headline was bernie sanders and new jewish outreach coordinator. as an outspoken critic of his early occupation, the, the next headline that i found out about when i walked into work was a foxman calls on sanders to fire in new jewish community liaison for quote anti israel comments. on thursday, the sanders campaigns suspended it's new national, jewish outreach coordinator, simone and zimmerman. 2 days after she was hired. so as far as i'm aware, this was in foxman 1st comment in public sense has retirement from the audio. and it came out of retirement to defend the world from the great threat of smell in the room. and it hurts me for
3:41 pm
a jewish kid to stand up there and say justice for the palestinians are not saying justice for these riley's troubles. we are to be boxes, which means we fail. we failed in educating and explaining, etc. when we talk about losing the kids, i think we've lost the birthright participants stage to protest. walk out. we're seeing that the many millennials are becoming distant. disenchanted with israel. and i take a very different approach on this. i say to them we need to love is really the more
3:42 pm
the, it means that we, where the older generation have much more work to do. this whole communal and session with defending israel has basically worked into seeing someone like me as a threat to the community. the word that i used to hear a lot with self hating you. like the only way that a jewish person could possibly care about the humanity of palestinians is if you hate yourself let's see what i find in here. if you are a self loathing, you go kill yourself as jews like you who needs ignorant races,
3:43 pm
bigot arrows you work against our people, you're an anti semitic to you've been working for the enemy, simone zimmerman. another member of the lunatic anti semitic are like the there's always been this argument of, oh, you can't criticize israel criticizing israel feeds anti semitism, criticizing israel helps the enemies of israel or as more and more american jews are speaking out in support of palestinian freedom. now they just say instead, we're over and find somebody's, we hate all jewish people or even worse that we're not jewish at all. we are attacked as being not really jewish, if we're not supportive as well. and that's where you start seeing just the blankets. you mentioned immunization of an entire sector of american jewish society focusing on this so called new anti semitism. and then came the new anti semitism, which was the anti semitism relating to israel. what,
3:44 pm
what some of the said the israel became the queue of the nations in the same way that started for me. i know that if whatever was permitted for everybody else was not permitted to. now israel was single so many of the self appointed leaders of our community have been trying to equate the idea of supporting cost and human rights itself with anti semitism. this is about anti israel, anti semitic attitude, classic new anti semitism, but the stream left has a long history of anti semitism of, of anti is real hatred, how stupid they've been for all these years. voting for obama and other anti semites, slight unwillingness to grapple with palestinian offering is putting a lot of americans using are really dangerous inside positions. how far will jewish americans go in the effort to class pressure on israel?
3:45 pm
you know, how far will people go? it's hard to see how far they won't know if this is where things are today, the end of the day. so israel leaders want to be in the room with the people in power. they will do anything to preserve unconditional support for israel. when i become like, just 2nd class citizen will end on day one. the history is not going to just climate. i'd like to say that what plus why haven't, with donald trump be the elective president united states, we should pray that they should remain and offer you to do the great thing to be
3:46 pm
done. on behalf of the united states of america and on behalf of israel. and we're saying like that for assign combination of what support of israel at all cause has led to disregarding any less than of history. disregarding any sort of morality, the great irony of having this be where we are today within the jewish community is that there actually is research and anti semitism. the kind that i think my generation and the generations that have come after me never thought we'd see in our lifetime. people tell us, couple of things, something happened, any number will go to trump or trump isn't. it's not a question. is he a big it isn't i don't think he's a big i think he is what he is. i don't think he's a racist. i don't think he's an anti semite. i think a com all kinds of things. the community has spent so much time
3:47 pm
attacking to anyone who criticizes 0 in their actual threats to our community. that's lead our camino institutions to basically be silent in the face of rising white nationalism. the the way that we talk about anti semitism isn't about protecting jews. it's about protecting israel and how dangerous is that? at this moment with the rise of anti semitism and often when american politicians are asked about anti semitism, they talk about their support for israel support for israel today is actually replacing what it means to be a jew. these people have basically decided that support for israel is more
3:48 pm
important than the safety of jews. we're not going to say anything about the spreading of these anti semitic conspiracy theories. we have seen a tremendous amount of this use of violent anti semitic tropes. the fred talks about a jewish plot to in slave people in the united states and ties to medic, flyer steep, and cobit 19 conspiracies saying every single aspect of the cobit agenda is jewish . that's the way the jews work there. there's. they are deceivers, they plot, they lie, they do whatever they have to do. the the gunmen told a swat officer that he wanted all jews to die and that they were committed genocide against his people. the
3:49 pm
. it's a profoundly sad moment and i think it's a tipping moment the, these anti semitic nightmares that we all like, it's all coming to life in front of our eyes. the i can't help. but think about all the american jewish organizations that have spent the last decade of pouring millions of dollars into smearing and marginalizing human rights advocates, jewish, palestinian, and not trying to brand palestinian protests as anti semitic. when there were neo nazis trying to kill us in our synagogues, the my parents and grandparents generation grew up in a world in which twos were not safe. they invested so much in the idea
3:50 pm
that jews could only be safe through israel. but our safety and our security is actually bound up in the safety and the security of all people. the most powerful pro is real lobby in the country are, are now donating money to republican politicians who either incited or continue to support the writers who stormed the capital on january 6th. the that's part of a politics of solidarity and it feels totally morally coherent and morally urgent to support, freedom and dignity for all people in all the places that we live, the how citizens have already been telling us this for decades. so guys, here is the, the world,
3:51 pm
but the world is finally coming to catch up to new the bidding of this for me, i would say if anybody has any influence on is really policy. and i say this was a big it is the american jewish human the american jewish communities have the potential to have the greatest influence in shifting our reality outside of this month. for many people around the world when they see the voice of the jewish community rise in protest against this occupation, it's will allow other voices to say, yes, we could also have a voice in it as well that we're doing, trying to work and trying to end this occupation and bringing peace and justice into this one of the most inspiring experiences i had with jewish americans that come in and take a stand the for me here tonight,
3:52 pm
a number of personal stories. at some point, you guys decided to go to break the silence and i'm interested, was there a particular moment and let you do this? in 2018. i mean the military in america, we have those kinds of innocent until proven guilty. there is no, it is impossible, according to the army use not given cause to me is the right to leave is really another part time going into the great is not an easy thing to do. so i did not speak about my experiences in the occupation publicly until very recently i was afraid that i would be demonized. i've seen friends of mine demonized for speaking
3:53 pm
