3:05 pm
with more news, how knowledge of the era of to israel as a set. so to 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 lives in the army, israeli soldiers, their hot, they're awesome, they're strong, they're everything. we could all want to be honest with new york, i keep my birthright of 2016. i joined the army base my flight back to america the
3:07 pm
the 1st time i've been to the united states, i met so many nice people doing americans with 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 housing is or have no idea of, of 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 c, 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 bank today and say, this isn't a part of the system. it's not just throwing out a words a policy lives under a different legal system than in this really subtler living nexstar the . you see these on the grounds or speech to talk to me and would understand that this is a process that their conversation part by the team. i remember crossing that checkpoint into bethlehem,
3:10 pm
and before this i had been very much opposed to ever using the word apartheid which seems sort of night and day difference just by crossing this wall. change that for me in an instant, the assuming 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 how mean the is there any government easy way people of thank you for that investigating 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 hot best
3:11 pm
of anti semitic advantages. real 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 called 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. you're citing
3:12 pm
with the policy isn't, is really costing your complex. there's just no question about it. i just knew it was this bad thing that i had to fight. if i sent it to you, you were trying to make me feel marginalized on my own campus. and i remember all of us like, well, you should in boy kind of israel because it's a blanket double standard. and you shouldn't a boy because these are all because it's unfair to single out his room. i remember the we're area meeting students 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
god, what do you have to say that if divestment is hostile, then then where do we begin to describe 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. 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 even felt 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 doubles to entered into some. it isn't people people. i
3:14 pm
couldn't get an answer from anybody. and that was really disturbing for me when there are these people called palestinians who thinks it is their own wields, all this power over their lives and don't have right. so 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 and where 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 is a lot of like it's a lot of, it's a lot of this information. some of that 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 is, a situation when they just have this in their, in their head, all this misinformation and all these life. and so how pro palestinian has become
3:15 pm
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, i'm 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. so i, i don't know what the settlement side essentially got to a point where i found myself wanting answers to the questions the palestinian students were asking. and so, and letting me on a process of trying to configure those things out for myself, what does 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
3:16 pm
line for the 1st time the, i don't think i realized the extent to which what i would come to see on the ground with really shocked me and verify me. if you look at your mouth or standing again, right before is going to turn i just left behind you guys a block of houses, the people moving in 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 throw stones in them, or they throw chemicals on them, or they throw dead animals and the well great thing 1st, the welcomes you and secure. thank you very much for coming, especially because your jewish the area here is populated by protest, damien farmers supreme court, the nice round room that they're allowed leaving the gates that are here. they're not the bill. they me to day, the stupid administration and jeremy came and demolished some of the fence 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 that 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 life the so this is the checkpoint that divides jerusalem from bethlehem. austin is definitely can not drive. so you can see that we're basically driving was, was on both sides of us right now. the
3:19 pm
only that's like the major square or where do want to go. we're in your head the, the, this is my thought of the event that especially as someone who came to see places that i should imagine at home. i remember coming into the west bank for the 1st time 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
3:20 pm
waiting in line for the check point. getting to the soldiers at the check point, this was there 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 was just the fact that i can of drive straight as an attendance thing and i cannot drive in jerusalem or anywhere. and so we drove here today and, and if i'm not home by 10 pm and 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 in bucklin. 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 a group about anti semitism and inherited trauma and started thinking a lot about what challenge my community around the deep range ramos that are
3:21 pm
totally seminars 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. but so i discovered one of the main reasons why this conflict exists to which is disinherited trauma that exists in the jewish communities where the feeling is that as use where all was attacked have always been attacked, will always be attacked. and therefore, the only way to maintain or so 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. what, what is important for many of the realism to choose from around the world we talk to is the simple recognition, an acknowledgment of
3:22 pm
a storage space. and that story is where the healing work begins to happen. the as an active, as i think for minneapolis, 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 american just 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.
3:23 pm
indeed our restaurants and we have it's crazy that i have to say this, 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, it creates something, it shift something of what they do with this when they go back. it becomes their responsibility. the focus spoke out. and i think initially 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 everything 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 palestinian rice 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 were having similar experiences. and it made me realize that i was part of the bigger story of some things that was happening, not just to me, but to young people around the country. we decided to bring the crisis of american jewish support for israel to the doorsteps of jewish institutions to force that conversation in public. the 1st of all, my friends in
3:26 pm
a pack stopped talking to me. i have lots of many childhood friends over this. also, many friends has like come along politically with me over the years. many in my family have also many in my family also to play disagree with me. every time i have purchased it outside of a jewish communal event of some kind, i have seen a friend or family friend, a parent of a friend on the other side of the american are very 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 or they're really, really angry at the way they were educated in the way that they were indoctrinated about these issues and justifiable. so the indoctrination is so severe it's almost hard to have a conversation about it before breaking it is her break in our community right now has to grapple with our complicity. the jewish opinion is like some jewish groups locally opposed. israel's military policies, more than a 1000 jewish activists descended on washington
3:28 pm
d. c. sunday. to protest a power. the problem that you do not represent the, the new, the you got a number of your jewish brothers and sisters who are undergoing more on and spiritual awakening. the deeply concerned about assessing the palestinians. and they come from people who have been hated. but they don't want to see the cycle of hate perpetrated even by jews themselves. the in an already follow tom. well, sign the escalation of the president by then i a working to in this war i did encourage you to get this over with. just asked to get over with fast
3:29 pm
with many desperate for change. it is absolutely essential to avoid them all out what the level of what is the world to expect. let us show each other in the world. we are. we have to be brave, otherwise we're not going to have a country left. how will the choice of one nation affect us for the us 2024 on out to 0? on counting the cost, the u. k. is governing labor policy has laid out its 1st punches in 14 years, when it help grow the economy could. 1000000000 is helps winning the results of the us presidential election. plus, why has russia central bank raised interest rates to a record high? counting the cost on al jazeera, the climate has changed every year for millions of years, decades of talk, but little action. it's all about distract, create confusion to create smoking mirrors,
3:30 pm
the shocking truth about how the climate to page has been systematic except purchased the oil industry was a main bank roller for opposition to climate back to campaign against the climate. do you think that's a bad thing? most youtube absolutely. on, on just even the again, i know it kind of these, the top stories on al jazeera, the race to the white house as it is final phase presidential candidates, pamela harris. and donald trump. of course, crossing swing states making the final appeals. trump has been addressing suppose in georgia, accusing his rival of a failed border policy, or harris. i was on the campaign trail in michigan on sunday, touching on the rules and goals and nothing on of this year. it's been difficult,
3:31 pm
given the scale of death and destruction in gaza and given the civilian casualties and displacement in lab and on. it is devastating. and as president, i will do everything in my power to end the war in gaza. the in the bringing the ensure is realistic, your, and ensure the palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, freedom, security and self determinate. she has violated arose, eradicated our sovereign border and our relation army of games, and pretty much those criminal migrants. i mean, we have migraines pouring in here by the 10s of thousands that are criminals from jails from mental institutions terrace. they come from medical
3:32 pm
institutions and they come from insane asylums and they come from all around the world from venezuela to the congo. lots of people coming from the jails of the congo stealing childless american lives. that's where the forces are, again, pausing, residential areas and northern gaza. at least 5 people were killed on monday and the tech, the, the owners, are a refugee come as part of a month from seas which has killed thousands of palestinians including children in recent days. i school for asians are underway. another come out and one hospital input la here, or as well as knows by the united nations that is counseling its agreement with the main 8 agency for palestinian refugees, millions of palestinians including any, all of gauze as population depend on under the u. n. ones canceling the agreement to the west and the humanitarian catastrophe across the occupied territories. the
3:33 pm
headlines, let's get you back now to as well as i'm 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. we're literally talking about parents and children. the indoctrination is so severe. it's almost hard to have a conversation about it. it's heart breaking. 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
3:34 pm
awakening. the 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 really part of my life since early child is in the jewish community, all there's been a striking change is rules well aware of human will can change things. my name is to you, is this the 1st time i am using my full real name? suspended solidarity was tell us any. i never thought in my life that i would be standing with this many jews for problem. as long as the lines are treated as disposable, our house of the people is not in order to
3:35 pm
wow. the congresswoman rashida totally say i'm 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 shift in this unreasonable status crone, and what would you recommend? i would recommend freedom the real challenge is trying to cheat that spiritual dimensions for all
3:36 pm
the time and kind of gauge degree. the views are blocking. 8 the
3:37 pm
i don't think it's 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 this 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 this real is under threat and a strong incidence, and as dynamic as it is, it's still under threat from its neighbors and a $100000.00 missiles. we proceed around 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 gods 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. and uh, it was somebody july of the deal with the on the i've had with the session with the, to 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 gas and done with that and eventually went up the street. there are a lot of jewish young people who see
3:39 pm
a jewish establishment that is racist, but is nationalistic where it was in the midwest. so the neighbors are not necessarily with jones or dismiss. i don't feel 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 brand new would hire someone like me as a jewish outreach 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 i was dangerous, that i was a threat. a journalist wrote an article about me. the headline was fairly sanders. new jewish outreach coordinator is an outspoken critic of israeli occupation. the. the next headline that i found out about when i walked into work was a foxman calls on sanders to fire new jewish community liaison for quote anti israel comments. on thursday, the sanders campaign 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 loans that
3:41 pm
room and encouraged to meet for jewish kid to stand up there and say, just as for the palestinians are not saying justice for these riley's troubles be or to me bother me is we fail, we failed and educating and explaining etc. when we talk about losing the kids, whenever we've lost the birthright participants, staged approaches to walk out to retire. the, the, we're seeing that the many millennials are becoming distant. disenchanted with israel. and i take a very different approach and as i say to them,
3:42 pm
we need to love is really the more the means that we were 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. you are a self loathing. you. go kill yourself. i just use like you to needs ignorant races
3:43 pm
spigot, arrows you work against, are people you're an anti semitic to you've been working for the enemy, simone zimmerman. another member of the lunatic anti semitic carlos 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 as well as more and more american jews are speaking out in support of palestinian freedom. now they just say instead, we're over it and for some nice we had 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 surfacing on this so called new anti semitism. and then came the new anti semitism,
3:44 pm
which was the anti semitism relating to israel. what, 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, everybody else was not permitted to. now israel was single so many of the south of point of leaders of our community have been trying to equate the idea of supporting cost and in rights itself with anti semitism. this is about anti israel, anti semitic attitude. classic new anti semitism to the extreme 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 like unwillingness to grapple with palestinian offering is putting a lot of americans using are really dangerous inside positions. how far will do is
3:45 pm
americans go in the effort to class pressure on israel? 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 meters 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 a 2nd class citizen will end on day one, the history is not going to just fine. i'd like to say that way. what plus, why haven't, with donald from the, the, like the president united states, we should pray that they should remain in office that each year to do the great
3:46 pm
thing to be done on behalf of the united states of america and on behalf of israel force thing 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 life time people to be in the us. couple of things, something happened, any number will go to trump, but 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 you can come all kinds of
3:47 pm
things. the community has spent so much time attacking anyone who criticizes 0 in their actual threats to our community that's led 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. 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
3:48 pm
a jew. these people have basically decided that support for israel is more important than the safety of jews. we're not gonna 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 thread talks about a jewish plot to in slave people in the united states and ties to medic, flyer seating cove at 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 typical moment the, these anti semitic nightmares, the 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
3:50 pm
a world in which twos were not safe. they invested so much in the idea 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. it feels totally morally coherent and morally urgent to support freedom and dignity for all people in all the places that we live. the palestinians have already been telling us this for decades. so guys, here is the,
3:51 pm
the world. 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 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 for the most inspiring experiences i had with jewish americans that come in and take a stand the we're going to hear 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 to this in 2008, i mean the military in america, we have all kinds of innocent until proven guilty. there is no, it is impossible to bring 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 be demonized for
3:53 pm
