8:32 pm
what do you do to give them this hear you make your presence felt that's i would say sixty to seventy percent of what i did as a combat soldier in the occupied territories was to do with deterrence. doing what we call making our presence felt. go out. should somebody so they hear a knock on doors run to the other corner invade another house. just to let the palestinian feel that we control the city we are the bosses we know what's going on we are everywhere all the time. when you're just charge you understand. this is the way to. to occupy civil society civilians. not talking about.
8:33 pm
guarding the borders of israel and i joined on me and when do you know to protect my country starting about protecting five hundred settlers. inside a palestinian city. in hebron well inside the west bank hundred and fifty thousand. palestinians and five hundred israeli settlers nowhere else is the hatred between palestinians and israelis more palpable than here the settlers have taken over central parts of hebron palestinians are hindered from moving freely. checkpoints military installations concrete blocks and israeli soldiers are all knee pressed and. in hebron one finds the most extreme and aggressive israeli settlers there is
8:34 pm
no palestine everything is easy trail. arabs get out. the settler children are protected by israeli soldiers and paris often courage their young to talk to. the patriarch abraham is said to be buried in hebron the city is one of the holiest places in judaism in the. loans one must realize that hebron historically has always been a jewish city king david founded his kingdom here in hebron a little. too little foot for our forefathers up abraham isaac and jacob and their
8:35 pm
wives are old buried here in hebron peace so it has been in jewish place for thousands of years. was it's nice to know you just. but the real politik for the stone this is what this state is a jewish state and we're here to stay because four thousand years ago god promised this land to the jewish family. we have a divine right to this land neither through war nor violence but as a gift from god. you're a trader. may your name be forgotten was. a
8:36 pm
low there we are from jerusalem today. the former soldier in hebron informs journalists diplomats and others about the situation in hebron if someone is willing to listen someone is willing to syria that i don't have the right to take and the reason why i wake up in the morning and i go to sleep at night and then the next morning i wake up and still do what i do is because i don't have another option because if i'm not part of the solution i'm part of the problem. i can do it in a different. place israel is my home this is where i live. i just don't see for myself. oh. well good for you that's good news of the. old you are traitor. you are
8:37 pm
a terrorist jewish blood is on your hands. you should be ashamed of your criminal charges are. pushing. you look at this boy would you be happy if something happened to leave you murder. when i was a soldier and have. to say cynically but that's a sign that we are ready then we understood that something is wrong in this reality we used to say that in israel people shouldn't get the right to vote before do because of her. once you understand her when she confronted confronted with the most important question that is what do you choose the land of israel. whether what is important is equality democracy rights or lent and the settlers are afraid that.
8:38 pm
the state of israel. now you are with the europeans who also sponsor hamas. who sold your family. unfortunately. throughout history religion and nationalism not just judaism have been a part of the problem they've been part of what leads to. bloodshed. and. countless from my point of view desecrations of god's name. the judaism that i grew up with. teaches me something
8:39 pm
different judaism has to be part of the solution. when i first spent time here. and started to realise that the vast majority of religious jews in this country understands judaism in a way so different from what i learned from my rabbis and my teachers my parents my family. you know there were times there are times i say well maybe i'm the crazy one but then you go back to the sources and you see what's there. and. now it is true of course that if you look in the bible you cannot escape the fact that god. promises the entire land of israel including the west bank the occupied territories to the jewish people in perpetuity but that same difficulty ology makes very clear you see that in the bible you see it in the prophets in the torah itself that how
8:40 pm
much of that land we will be living at any given point in history will expand or contract according to our moral behavior and so there may be a paradox here at the very acts that are necessary to continue the occupation of the wherry when's that make us morally unfit. to be there. as holy as the land of israel is human life is more holy so. if you can prevent bloodshed by territorial compromise as painful as it is to give up part of. the places those located your history to god's promise to to do that was workings of prophets well it's human life. it was hands down trumps it's so much more important.
8:41 pm
8:42 pm
a child throws a stone at a soldier it's just a fight. when you wage a war against a civilian population with inaudible it is incredibly stupid to believe that the violence is not going to go back at you at some point i'm not going to tell you that it's that it's right or legitimate or or morrow to to blow up a bus with civilians but if you want to. bomb and kill thousand four hundred people in. in in a month and you want to expect that this will have no effect until the feet. you have to be either extremely naive or extremely stupid. sometimes in some cases you choose unjust means because they are the only means
8:43 pm
that you have i'm not in debt situation i can tell you i do not support suicide but i'm not in the position where i am not into position where i have to make that choice in my position i make my choice and it is true for its civilian insurrection . of postings against israeli oppression of finance definitely does have an effect . i mean i think you'd have to be very naive to claim that you exist in a very violent situation where a lot of very extreme violence is directed towards you and your environment and people you care about and to say that it doesn't affect you.
8:44 pm
obviously everyone's afraid to die and is afraid to get hurt but. being part of something of a struggle worth dying for is something worth living for i'm get out of here. there is one very sensitive issue for israeli peace activists family discussion about the occupation. rarely if ever are outsiders allowed to know about sensitive political discussions within the family. my mother. has erected u.t.s. which i'm in favor of i mean i don't think that muslim which is a bad. urbanization they're there to try and help the road looks to be more. cuny. and as a political statement to oppose occupation it's a strong know it can't. you
8:45 pm
can always blame them. you know because i was helpless perceived by the palestinian people exactly like we perceive come out i was said let's say never will leave. and say the situation was easy i said that when i look at my son and i imagine him when he's eighty i don't think the situation will be solved place a barrel that's going to be there without any human rights you know they can live there that's something but there they can be that. can't be no rights no no get out of here there's a jihad against it's. december two thousand and eight israel attacks the gaza strip one thousand four hundred palestinians and thirteen israelis were killed most of the casualties are civilians that's.

8:47 pm
. i don't think silence is an israeli this is silence is a human sickness ok we're not the you know when you don't look good you don't confront and there. oh we prefer to continue our life itself on its. supporters of this war you're killing children. shame on you shame on you. nobody shouts nobody christ we refuse to be murderers here all traders here all traders shame on you shame on you these really attack on gaza according to these really press was supported by ninety percent of these rights. jonathan polak participates in several demonstrations against the gossip.
8:48 pm
oppressing the population is a war crime and people are dying. traitors traitors. just to arabs i. i. i respect on the palestinian flag. i i i think have to understand that. this disownment of his or her second does exist there fascist extreme right and it's growing and strengthening but. there really is a democracy for jews in israel it's being limited more and more with time but for. as we speak now there really is democracy for jews in israel but it's not really
8:49 pm

8:53 pm
have. my concern is whether something is more or learn. whether something fits within my mind more about injuries or whether something is right or wrong. and i think we'll have a very important thing to understand for us. as a people who have done very very bad things don't have horns they look like they look like you you know i fired every night dozens of grenades and to neighbors or people with i use palestinians as human shields. you know all the things that i can tell you and then you will you'll be shocked you know. it's me and we're sitting now in the same room.
