12:03 pm
the serbs always lose and that's clearly not a principle you can build a policy on. in israel an arab man has been sentenced to eighteen months for rape by deception sure tricked a woman into having sex with him by claiming to be jewish he plans to appeal the decision and all of us live reports even couples who choose to have interfaith relationships face. this jewish jerusalem suburb is surrounded by arab neighborhoods and far from cultivating a culture of tolerance vigilante style jewish patrol groups calling themselves fire for judaism stand watch outside the local shopping mall their mission to prevent arab men mixing with the local jewish girls the municipality has created a twenty four hour hotline where parents and friends can phone to rat on jewish girls breaking this to boot a specially trained team of counselors and psychologists is on standby to rescue them as a leash more. it's important to our traditions culture history and identity because
12:04 pm
without this who are we through my experience we can see that the chances for a healthy relationship between really jewish woman and an arab man very very low is because of the great differences between these two cultures share up at any of the most recent case involves an arab man who posed as a jewish bachelor a jewish woman agreed to have sex with him but after she found out he was an arab and not a jew she filed a police complaint the courts took the case so seriously that he's now being convicted of rape by deception and same tools to eighteen months in prison the judge said he had an obligation to protect the public funds of the state of criminals who could no innocent victims but reactions to the verdict defer i think if the women want to do it it's story blog a lot different if it's arabic or more of a brick or something negative usually do is it girls don't know where they're guys . unless it's a choice you know. there should be
12:05 pm
a choice you didn't leave or choice but in prison is too much and this is the way that this is going to pick this is ruining our present arrives that we cannot have relationships that we cannot be just human beings arabs make up a foot of israel's population but relationships between arabs and jews are rare former palestinian minister ziad abu is a yard says fights break out almost weekly and night clubs and other puppy. paces over the issue it's not religion he says it's racism there are jewish. which are against. jewish men and. force them to break. in the two years rami who are here and kitty been touched or have been together they've never been physically threatened he's muslim she's jewish but they're not thinking about leaving israel because they say it's simply

12:07 pm
a permit from military government governance they lived under martial law i mean today there are there are several palestinian parties but none of them have ever been allowed to serve in the government none of them have held any positions of responsibility what's happened is that you can only participate in the government if you subscribe to this position which is that the jews are privileged population inside the country for instance there's no the palestinian minority have no control over this calling curriculum is decided by the jewish majority there's very clear issue here about where palestinians are being allowed to live and slowly they've been pushed further and further out of their historic homeland to the very margins of it outside of it and that's a process of very clear cleansing. and you can hear more from jonathan cook a journalist working in the middle east in about twenty minutes from now here on t.v. . the russian president has ordered security stepped up at all critical facilities
