but since the board. president karzai visits moscow. alleged russian arms smuggler blames u.s. media coverage of his case and preventing any chance of justice as he prepares for a pretrial hearing in. public outrage in norway is a russian born woman and former citizen of your face if you want to recognize terrorists day. up next part one of our report on israelis facing increasing combination at home because they want a peaceful solution in the struggle between their country in the palestinians stay with us here on r.t. . ah

. i come here because i live in jerusalem and i am in shock and then the rage stepped out then what is happening here. no democracy without freedom to demonstrate. that is not. between religion and nationalism. as it is as a religious person together they can be a very volatile and dangerous mix of fight here is the worst possible combination of nationals and a little none of it. and a bit of a little bit of that germany you know we don't know if you hear

a jew religious jew calling another jew and not that the way they read that or not that you are. not like this is my goal. this is my land go back to america criminal. in one thousand six to seven israel conquered the west bank. and arab east jerusalem. still today the palestinians live under military control. this is a film about four israelis who want an end to more than forty years of israeli occupation breaking the silence is

a group of ex israeli soldiers who served during the second intifada in the occupied territories and today we work to try to expose the reality of occupation back home. we call it breaking assize because you have to understand that what's going on in the occupied territories is like one of the biggest i was in israel. people just don't talk about it you don't come back home and say money these are two thousand years we feel this that it just doesn't come over. that people back home people here in israel have no clue if it's going on. it's like there is there's a secret agreement between society and military. we know there's going on there but please don't bring it about you know we want to

live our life without. without knowing what it takes to have a peaceful life. or here just to talk about what we did. because we feel this is the this is one of the most important pieces from the puzzle that is missing and the discussion and debate here in this area. we try to talk about the small stories that make the big problem to make big picture try to talk about what does it mean occupation how does a cloak on a daily basis. how do you do it as an occupier forty years of occupation according to the u.n. there are today more than five hundred checkpoints and obstacles in the west bank where these trailers soldiers control and hinder palestinians the biggest checkpoint is located between ramallah and east jerusalem on occupied land.

the checkpoint is called. the eye a group of israeli women and their eyes that nobody knows what's going on so we decided to create a group that's going to the checkpoints. observe in the report that's why the observing eye is part of our lawful even our. bad says that we are all postal occupation. our presence here is a clear statement that really opposed to occupation it's a statement for the army for the police for the border police for anybody and for

the palestinians to know that there are people actively opposing the occupation. with the ideas that this dialysis she needs dialysis three times a week do you understand it's three times a week there is nothing to do if the boy's sick has got to shards of that hospital it's every time the same problem with getting a child to hospital it can't go on like this. why do they do this. they're doing it on purpose they won't let anyone in so. everybody here is ill and those that aren't soon will be yes it's true. only if you look really. remarkable.

and you can see how the they asked all the time finding all the ways how to control what's going on more and more so this kalandia checkpoint sees something like four thousand people it was the built for left wing one thousand people so first of all this. tremendous stress in terms of people who go to work every single day and have to stand here for. it's making it difficult for palestinians who live in this area so-called resident .

to goals. to work or to go through the hospital. to visit seek a relative to go through. the checkpoint to be able to go to the office.

in addition to checkpoints some obstacles israel has built so-called settlements in the west bank and in east jerusalem. according to the u.n. there are today more than half a million israelis living on occupied land the settlements are all the legal according to the national mall. palestinian farmers can access less and less of their land as the settlements expand frequently there's violence when soldiers are

sutlers stop the farmers from cultivating their land. rabbi eric asher helps the palestinian the former sit in front of you all have to leave i am asking you we do not have time for this is the red line please leave is it and go. look at it here everything here is a closed military zone they are here there how many meters from here everywhere not able not even to tell you but if you. really believe that the one of the most basic commandments in judaism what we read in the very first verses of the bible is that all human beings are created but sentimental came in god's image and it doesn't say just jews or non jews or just rich or poor and it's very it's a point of saying both men and women if we really believe that if you are trying to internalize it. then we have to honor and protect the human rights of every human

being including palestinian. eric asherman interpretation of the bible is a rare in israel. the palestinian all of trees are standing on biblical land and on the biblical hills this land is got slammed promised to the jewish people according to the settlers. and about it yesterday they came when i got back here at four pm so they came and stole the letter they stole the black covers like those. they stole the. gun. they stole cutters and knives in the old lives over there did you see the all it. should do. to the settlers do this yes the sudras store and did this i have been away for three days they stole everything they did this they stole covers and tools and did this with the all of us.

so when you came back everything was gone. yes they are thieves how to me they were. here. for several years rabbi eric sherman was protected by palestinian farmers when they were being harassed or attacked by religious jewish said. oh city. it doesn't it's you sure. that's what you're doing giving me the finger but what it is lifting his hands to fight the battle of i'm sorry not wanted i guess for the heart of the rest of now the rest i'm now hearing on the other night and am giving the finger to a jew should have his hand cut off oh now he's gone completely crazy. coming here to guard the arabs one of. the.

hour that i've heard soldiers say well the high court there were here our presence here is what's essential not only sometimes sometimes we actually are as human shields. physically to stand between palestinian people threatening them and sometimes it's important we're here. to keep the army out is to make sure they're doing what they're supposed to be doing. the settlers are protected by israeli soldiers and the soldiers themselves are sometimes settlers. there's a settler up here to meet you did you up and comes down and when anyone tries a worker he tries to stop them but this time friendlies of the army. the strategy for the sutler's is to take over hill after hill of the west bank. they do it by building small outposts and then expanding downhill closer to the

palestinian farmers. legally they can't cross this line and. i would also like to see this document his mission they came up with this line one year ago. it tried the same trick last year but in the end the farmers worked here . if you don't like it take your questions to the coordination office. simply this attempt to. slowly slowly take over another doing here another doom here from their point of view this is redeeming the land of israel and they'll do it by any means possible. piece by piece. we're trying in some way to help how things have gone and even get

some of the lands back. we always go by the queues of the palestinians the army wants control they want no palestinian to go anywhere without a permit i can't you have to make the choice is the best way to hold onto your land and we back you whatever you do. and i would that he if it is we have him in ok. then and. they acknowledge that this was his land and now they said we don't want you to work here today though because it's dangerous someone could come and shoot you. there's a good chance that we will win here and maybe it'll be easier to finish if there's no attention here in another day as it was. in the west bank israel has built a barrier

a wall made out of fences and concrete it is part of israel's defense it protects settlements and it ties them closer to israel. the barrier of the wall is mainly built on occupied land in breach of international law according to the international court of justice. for the palestinians in the west bank the wall results in further land loss to israeli settlers. but there are israelis helping the palestinians to recessed the construction of the wall which we're doing here right now is trying to tap into was denied trying to stop their protection a good reason to more from what was going in at the top of the wall right now there's about be about four or five kilometers into the way the bank i'll try to

fix rather interesting recognized border the international court of just in the hague has ruled that dish tactic to the construction of dish barrier is illegal but if you go continue continue building it right now in a village called nearly twenty five hundred dunam about to be confiscated from the village. it was probably one of the top story short. he. i. know. jonathan polak has participated in direct action in some demonstrations for many years several times a week. he has been arrested and physically injured by israeli soldiers

i i i i. i cut i thought i was a dog. which. was like oh my god oh my god it's a very big part of my life and. you know and you have to go for a fighting i live here and. you know my life pretty much revolves around political activism so obviously the political situation affects my life and my future and. i have. to keep working killed here due to military violence and always if you hear it can keep up if you get the

feeling i. was. i did i just never be god if you just come decided to ditch a confession instead never delish me on meet me x. too deep to mr shoes to dish up right and i think it was a military operating with a military tool. and if it should two people who are getting killed here. than any. demonstrations against the wall often turn violent they quickly erupt with stone throwing and gunfire. it is mostly the protesters who are seriously injured

sometimes protesters get killed. i believe the it's my duty as an israeli what's happening here in computing and it's being done in in our name if you judge whether we agree with it or not a moral obligation is to come here and stand we do people actually enough to state if you oppose something your government is doing when such crimes are being committed i expect people and i think it's our duty to come here and give you just it. much because just. because you didn't there are soldiers over there you'll be surrounded not just boys come to the east do not go west brown. boys get back here. are we going away just go straight round. to see

jag. that. are we out of rocks. is everything quiet here. but. you know honestly. i did. i say oh i thought

i you just know ok i must have mixed you up with someone else. what organization are you from. somewhere checkpoint watch so you don't want any more checkpoints. no but less checkpoints stamp of us there not enough this stage we are against checkpoints and we're here so what about the checkpoints if. you look at who are a checkpoint it costed millions so you want something respectable to let everybody in who are a checkpoint cost fifteen million it's out of our pockets and then they closed it this is a group does no matter here we have the entrance to the notary or it should be at the entrance on israel's border. so write a letter and notice checkpoints we have already done that let me have a nice day we need people like you to keep camp with tell him to get in line one by

one closer to the wall. that it didn't line up one by one. stick close to the wall. where. i've been coming to kalandia for seven years so when it comes to ramadan it's important for me to know what's going on so although it's not even my shift time i

decided to come and have a look the problem is that when you meet the individual people with the individual problems your heart just breaks you know that for some stupid reason that you didn't bring your origin or birth certificate for your sixteen year old daughter but only a photocopy. it's crazy you know it's not only crazy it's very painful to think that there are so many rules and that if you don't fit into the category then nothing out. of the straight out of the real put it up women are going to people of course will be able to pray just go over there and they will check everything in the computer model of women but computer you wouldn't want to put to us trying their damndest you know to get into jerusalem because it's such a holy place and it's so important the army and the also just behave as if they did

know and treat them as naughty people. not obeying the rules you know ignoring the rules ramadan karim. kawar just that's what they are. entitled. and in a moment they're looking at us now the whole world has been watching us all our lives. i you from jerusalem to the city yes i'm from jerusalem are you do you have a permit no ma i you know clady you know she's forty five years old you cannot see. but. i have to do have a poet she says i don't need i went over and over and over the woman you know you're not an old woman that you know maybe she's forty five years old. ok you're forty five years old and it adds that you know life must have been hard for her but. we're not allowed to go and pray but nothing prevents us from praying

. did i mention something to you like i have moved next to the wall all of the or that why. was it what do you mean by this move one by one go back i don't want to run i want to go to the top. you know it. was thought. was. i. was i was. was was. was
