5:05 pm
let's go! think about uh demona, many people say, well nobody knows, you say i blush, you say demona and i blush, we're not supposed to talk about demona, but go ahead, because it's a tabu, it's a tabu, it's a secret, negev desert south of israel, this mysterious complex away from the public eye employs thousands of people disc all sworn to secrecy. when its existence was discovered, israel said it was textile factory, never admitting its true purpose, making plutonium for atomic bombs. we need answers and we go
5:06 pm
to meet one of the few people in israel that knows what is. we are dealing with this element of weapons of mis destruction, meaning nuclear chemical and biological, we're the only ngo dealing with this right now in israel, when you believe that this are the weapons that keeps you safe, when this is the common belief, then the question rais, are we the next country to use them? israel is nuclear armed state, chemical armed state and biologic. arms tape: nuclear weapon is not a weapon that aimed at an army, it's a weapon that destroys a city. are we willing to destroy any city in the middle east? mothers, children, fathers, citizens, not soldiers. we want to know more about the most
5:07 pm
secretive nuclear program in the world. just transmitted at the request of the is the israeli nuclear plant of demona poisoning and threatening the lives of millions throughout the middle east. from tel aviv we go south, our destination, demona. that is too far, can you get closer please? approaching. the nuclear plant is a high risk, the highway splices through the heat and sand of the negev desert, barbed wire fence edges the road. signs posted every few hundred meters, warn drivers not to stop their vehicles under
5:08 pm
any circumstances. they have cameras, they will see. this is a military zone. it says don't go off in the road because i'm shoot. finally, we can have a distant look at one of the world's most secret facilities, an exclusive view of secret israel is hiding since the 1960s, demona nuclear palms, that's the gate to go inside, this is the gate to the monar, yes. only few people in the world can say they know each corner of demona nuclear plant and all of them are sworn to secrecy, but there is someone that knows
5:09 pm
exactly how the building looks like, it was secret competition with the uh design. the civic center of new atomic research center that was to be built in demona in the south part of of israel, for security reasons we couldn't call it a cic center of research was called a civic center in the negative because you say we want to take still factory you could. "in the 60s it wasn't such big news to have textile factory in dimona, so if you built something large in demona, you could very easily say, you see this is textile factory, only that this textile factory had a
5:10 pm
dome and wasn't typical of of textile things, but it wasn't seen from the road, it was kind of - of..." of an agreed, agreed quietness, i have the photograph, while the project was being built, not when it was okay. then at that time the security eye was not that strong, so took the photographs, later, later, many years afterwards, i all of sudden got several several photos from an unknown source, but with the stamp of the of the censorship, so i understood that somebody from the from the site sent me photos that was taken that were taken. there there's a sign that i can open my my uh my small
5:11 pm
portfolio and and make it public. this is the courtyard of the of the man building from the other side looking towards the towards the entrance, you see the entrance is here and this is from hooking from other side in the same with the same building. this is the detail. the stairs leading from the to the roof, you can have a roof cover as you see here, you can go up up to the roof under cover with the kind of how many years you kept these photos in secret, how many years this 60 building the did you went inside? haven't seen my own my own project since then. "i could go in all these years. this
5:12 pm
message is transmitted at the request of the united states of president kennedy took office, he knew from a cia secret report that israel was developing nuclear program in the negage. at the beginning of january 1961, kennedy met the israeli ambassador in washington." and expressed that the usa wanted to inspect demona to be sure about its purposes. israel accepted, but under one condition, if it was done a secret basis. for five months, the visit of the american inspectors to demona nuclear plant was postponed several times by israel. finally, an ultimatum from usa was. accepted two american scientists were allowed to visit demona in may 1961. israel imposed several
5:13 pm
rules on the american inspectors. they were not allowed to take any pictures or issue any comments about dimona. when the inspectors finally entered the plant, they were misled. they were shown fake control. room on the ground floor. 12th of january 1961, the aim at the building built in the negev was clear. in a high-level meeting between president eisenhouer and his staff, the us secretary of defense informs the president that based on intelligence findings israel was lying and demona was not for peaceful purposes. they
5:14 pm
were unaware of the six floors below where the plutonium was made. in search of answers we traveled to berlin in germany. here we are going to meet zantha hall. she is an expert in nuclear weapons and the director of international. national positions for the prevention of nuclear war. zanter hall is also the coordinator of the european parliament commission against nuclear proliferation. the israel's atomic energy commissioncy is one of the most secret institutions in the world. it's responsible for demona. it's chairman is netanyahu, but it's not even officially recognized as existing. all the other. the nuclear plants in the world are monitored by the atomic energy agency, but not the ones in israel, so
5:15 pm
we think it's about time that the mona was also monitored. the one thing that needs to happen is that an independent body like the iaea would go into demona and find out what is going on there, what is the state of the substance of the building, is the... the nuclear reactor still intact, what are they doing about cooling, where is the nuclear waste being stored, how is it being stored and all these questions? they need to be answered, we need some transparency. israel has not ratified the non-proliferation treaty a way of invoiting inspections to its nuclear sites. why do you think that the
5:16 pm
international community behaves with israel in this special way? first of all, we are not. we are not part of the treaties, we never signed the treaties, so we don't oblige, we never said we won't, that's one thing, second thing is the us, and the third thing is the holocaust, how guilt, do you see germany, germany solds the submarines, the us, they let us steal uranium, you go to the un, to the npt, to the nonpoliveration treaty, and you hear the... us delegation reading their statements and when they talk about israel, you see paragraphs that you know from the language was written by israelis. so israel has a special treatment, yes, we're a special case. yoshi melman is known as an investigative journalist
5:17 pm
specialized in intelligence and strategic affairs. he was described wikileaks as an information mule who has exchanged tips with the mosser, but in 2009, melman uncovered a terrible secret about demona. workers at the nuclear reactor facility were made to volunteer to drink uranium in 1998 as part of an experiment. the workers themselves already. say anything, they have so many, so many contracts saying that they cannot say, the question is the family, so usually in order for them to get compensation, the families also have to say they will not sue, they will not say, they will not speak to the media and so on, so we know only when they have settlements, when the calls say settlements, that they give some money, but we don't know how much usually and we don't
5:18 pm
know how many, and we don't know what conditions, and also the doctors are only doctors that work with the commission. 'i mean, if you only have nuclear reactor that is making energy like gernob or fukushima, that's just one thing, you can, you have lots of possibilities for accidents, but if you got added to that, you've got uranium enrichment, you've got plutonium reprocessing, and you have actually the making of the warheads, then you have, you know, many more possibilities, have there already been accidents, there's been some rumors and speculation that in'. 1966 there was a criticality accident at demona, we don't know what's been happening in that plant, and actually it seems that there's probably more secrecy than there was in the soviet union, because quite quickly after the chernoble accident, it was actually said that there had been the accident, so i think israel is more better to compare on the level
5:19 pm
of secrecy about nuclear program with perhaps north korea uh, because we know nothing about their... program either, we do know that they have one, and at least north korea is making claims that it has nuclear weapons, whereas israel is pretending that it doesn't, so i'm not trying to say that there will be worse or better, um, but there many more possibilities, so the risk is definitely higher. our next stop in search of answers about the israeli. nuclear program and its secrets is a palestinian village. darria, very close to demona, and a military field where israel might be burying nuclear waste from demona. in daria, a palestinian doctor

struggles to keep demona's victims alive. هلا احنا كنا ملاحظين انه في امراض تاتينا غريبه جدا بنوعيات مختلفه فاستفزنا على اساس انه نعمل دراسات للوضع في منطقه الجنوب خصوصا لكن ما كنا نعرف انه في شيء اسمه اشعاعات فعملنا فحوصات خاصه في مناطق متعدده في جنوب الضفه فوجدنا انه يوجد هناك اشعاعات مش موجوده في الطبيعه. الا في حاله صفر مثل ماده السيزيوم هذه ماده لا تنتج الا في حرب نوويه او مدافن نوويه. cesium is not present nature and can only be found in areas where a nuclear disaster or test
5:21 pm
takes place. we know how sium works um on the body uh because of chernoble and fukushima. they've both of those accidents show showed us lot of about how sesium actually affects human health. and that there are claims uh that uh that there has been a study that has found cesium in the region and sium is an indication that some something has happened with the nuclear activity, it uh most likely would be depending on the amount of it would would be from nuclear accident or it could be from leaking radioactive waste. in some areas of palestine, the presence of sesium is at the same levels as in chernobyl or fukushima,
5:22 pm
places where the worst nuclear accidents took place. it's um, it's a radioactive isotope, it has a half life of 30.2 years and um, it acts like a potassium or or like salt. it's water soluble so it can spread very quickly through the body and it tends to concentrate then in muscle tissue and you also have muscles in certain organs like heart and um stomach and intestines so that that's where often season will end up and at that point it starts then to mutate the cells within that those muscles and you end up with cancer of the colon cancer of the stomach of the lungs sometimes and it can't في امراض بدات تظهر مثل تساقط الشعر العقم سرطانات متعدده سرطان قاع

5:24 pm
electronic device that measures the level of radioactivity. these devices are allowed for use everywhere in the world. it is sold everywhere, even online, but not in israel. despite claiming to be democratic. israelis cannot buy a giga counter inside israel. one the major problems that we have, again, it goes back to the secrecy problem is that we can't even measure the amount of radiation in the area because that's not allowed, and the israeli law even says that if you take a giger counter into the area around demona and measure the radioactivity, you could be then sentenced to 15 years in prison, so nobody's going to do... that i know people even thought about doing it, but they they they didn't. it's certainly very risky to try to do any research on this at all, which is why number one problem is to get rid of the
5:25 pm
secrecy. what is the security of israel and why the security of israel is so different than the security of the people that live in israel? and we hear rumors about buildings where the levels of cancer is unbelievable. "and when we wanted to ask doctors, we also didn't get any answers and one of funny or sad answer we got was that we cannot measure the amount of a cancer radiation related cancer in israel because we had so many people coming from chernobyl from kiev and that changed the numbers, so that was one answer we got, and of course this is not a serious answer." كانوا يجوا عندي اسرائيليين قبل ال 87 يجوا ياكلوا ويشربوا واحنا نروح عندهم هلا بتعرفي صار في علاقات. انسانيه بينا

فتسال عن فلان وين فلان بيقول لك مات طيب ليش مات شو سبب موته يقول لك مصاب بالسرطان طب من وين ما يحكي people in timona are not rich most of them this is if they were rich people they wouldn't live next to a reactor guess they wouldn't be depending on this reactor for the livelihood few years ago they all got iodine peels that were very old iodine pills and that was it and they're not asking.

5:30 pm
under a hollywood producer cover, he was actually kind of godfather of israel's nuclear program. at least 178 people have been killed and 293 injured in israely attacks on gaza in the past day, and that raised the death toll since october 7 to above 25,000, some 62. 600 people have also been injured since the beginning of the genocidal war. according to the pentagon 140 attacks have been carried out on us bases in iraq and syria since israel began as onslot of gaza. nearly 70 us personnel have been injured, two us servicemen were injured in the latest such attack in iraq.
