5:34 am
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 houses he killed us that just doesn't come over. that people back home people here in israel have no clue of what's going on the stick there is there's a secret agreement between society in the military. we know there is going on there but please don't bring about you know we want to live our life without. without knowing what it takes. for 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
5:35 am
here in this area. we try to talk about the small stories that make the big problem to make the 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.
5:36 am
the i had group of israeli women and here eyes that nobody knows what's going wrong so we decided to create a group that's going to the checkpoints. and observe in the reports that's why the observing eye is part of our overall 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. the deity's that this will dialysis she needs dialysis three times a week do you understand it's three times
5:37 am
a week there is nothing to do if the boy six 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 here yes it's true. only if you look around here only for about four. 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 says something like four thousand people it was the bill for letting one thousand people
5:38 am
5:40 am
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 international law. 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 palestinians are interested in something you all have to leave i am asking you we do not have time for this is the red line please leaves it
5:41 am
and go down if you're ever going to get here everything here is a closed military zone they're here they're how many meters from here everywhere not able not even to tell you but if you think. you know we 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 calls that you. eric asherman into protection of the bible is a rare in israel. the palestinian all of trees are standing on biblical land and on biblical hills this land is god's land promised to the jewish people according to
5:42 am
the settlers. about it yesterday they came when i got back here at four pm they came and stole the letter they stole the black covers like those. were based. on. they stole cutters and knives in the old lives over there we did you see the all over to. 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 palestinian farmers when they
5:43 am
were being harassed or attacked by religious jewish said. those who don't have to listen it's you sure. that's what you're doing giving me the finger but what it is lifting his hands to fight back all of them said i did not want it i'll get four hundred out the rest and now the rest of now. the other night you and i are 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 but i've heard soldiers say well the high court's there we're here our presence here is what's essential not only sometimes some as we actually are as human shields. physically to stand between palestinian people threatening them and
5:44 am
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 sutlers. there's a set up here to meet you did you up and comes down and when anyone tries to work or he tries to stop them but this time bradley said the army. the strategy for the sutler's is to take over hill off the 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 just document his mission they came up with this line one
5:45 am
year ago. they 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 accuser the palestinian 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 on to your land and we back you whatever you do. and i would that he
5:46 am
if it be of him is 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 all the wall is mainly built on occupied land in breach of
5:47 am
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 we're trying to tap into was denied trying to stop construction a good reason to more from what we're standing at the top of the wall right now there's about three about four or five kilometers into the west bank i'll try to fix medicare into the recognized borders the international court of just in the hague has ruled that dish tactic to the construction of fish barrier is illegal but if you continue continued building it right now we're in a village called nearly twenty five hundred dunam about to be confiscated from the
5:48 am
5:49 am
was like oh my god you're not going by it's a very big part of my life and. you know in the afterglow 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 promised. to keep working killed here due to military violence and over sixty here is complete keep up if you get the feeling i. was. i did i just never be god if you just want to show you good infection instead demonstrators never delish me on meet me x. too deep to mr shoes to dish up right and i think it was
5:50 am
a military uprighting with military tools. and if issued to people before you can kill here. that. i. think that any. demonstrations against the wall also 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 that it's my duty as an israeli you know what's happening here you can keep the email account and it's being done in in our name if you judge whether we agree with it or not
5:51 am
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 an example like the good just. because you didn't want them there are soldiers over there you'll be surrounded now during the news boys come to the east do not go west brown. boys get back here. are we going away just go straight round. this yeah and. that. our way out of rocks. is everything quiet here.
5:52 am
5:53 am
and this stage where it against checkpoints and we're here so what about the checkpoints if. you could who are a checkpoint it costed millions so you want something respectable to let everybody in who are a checkpoint cost fifteen million is 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. tell him to get in line one by one closer to the wall.
5:54 am
that it didn't line up one by one. stick close to the wall. heard. a little. bit of it. 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 go 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
5:55 am
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 reported i will now go to the people of course will be able to pray just go over there and they will check everything in the computer model of women because. you wouldn't want people 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 does behave as if they did know women and treat them as naughty people. not obeying the rules you know ignoring the ramadan karim. kawar just that's what they are. entitled. not in a you know they're looking at us now the whole world has been watching us all our
5:56 am
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 to cannot see. i have said you have posted is that i don't need them and over and over and over the woman you know you're not an old woman that maybe she's forty five years old. ok you're forty five years old and it had that you know life must have been hard for her. we're not allowed to go and pray but nothing prevents us from praying. when did i mention something that. i heard 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 from one of the top.
