7:32 am
a very volatile and dangerous mix of fight here is the worst possible combination of nationalism a little none of it. a backing up in egypt in the back room you know we don't you know it's easy if you're not a jew or a religious jew calling another jew and not the way they read that or not that you are. not like this is my. son this is my land go back to america criminal. in one thousand six to seven israel conquered the west bank. and arab east
7:33 am
jerusalem. still today the palestinians live under military just really control. this is a film for israelis who want to know and 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 a break in a science because you have to understand that what's going on in the occupied territories is like one of the biggest had was in israel. people just don't talk about it you don't come back home and say money is your to tell seems we killed us that it just doesn't come over.
7:34 am
that people back home people here in israel have no clue of what's going on there it's like there is there's a secret agreements between society and military. we know there's going on there but please don't bring about you know we want to live our life without. without knowing what it takes to have our 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 in a 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
7:35 am
according to the u.n. there are today more than five hundred checkpoints and obstacles in the west bank where the strain is 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 here are lies that nobody knows what's going on so we decided to create
7:36 am
a group that's going to the checkpoints and observes in the reports that's why the observing eye is part of our local even our. bad says that we all post will keep pace in. our presence here is a clear statement that the post will keep pace and it's a statement for the army for the police for the border parties play anybody and for the palestinians to know that they are people actively opposing the occupation. that the audience that this dialysis. he needs dialysis three times a week do you understand it's three times a week there is nothing to do if the boy is sick of it 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.
7:37 am
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 under your own legal framework for this bill. and you can see how the they asked all the time finding all the ways how to control what's going on all more and more so this kalandia checkpoint sees something like four thousand people it was built for letting one thousand people so first of all this. tremendous stress and tension of people who go to work every single day and have to stand here for.
7:38 am
it's making it difficult for palestinians who live in this area who are so-called terrorists and residents. as a group of people who come through the checkpoint at paris kenyans who have permits to go to either go through to work or to go through to hospitals to see doctors to go to to pray. visit seek a relative to go through weddings. to go to get. your if the queue at the checkpoint to be able to go to the office which is just.
7:39 am
your ideal. in addition to checkpoints and obstacles israel has built so-called settlements in
7:40 am
the west bank and in east jerusalem according to the un there are today more than half a million israelis living on occupied land the settlements are all the legal according to international law. palestinian farmer scum 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. grab by american asher helps the palestinian the former city is going to go you'll have live to. leave i am asking you we do not have time for this the red line please leave and go down. here everything here is a closed military zone where here there how many meters from here everywhere not able to even. think of them. we believe
7:41 am
that the one of the most basic commandments of 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 we were going 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 slammed promised to the jewish people according to the south lives. yesterday they came when i got back here at four pm they came and stole the letter they stole the black covers like those.
7:42 am
based all these. they still cutters and knives in the all of us over there did you see the all it. to the settlers do this yes the sudras store and did this i have been away for three days they stole everything they did. they stole covers and tools and did this with the all of us. so when you came back everything was gone. yes they were thieves how to me. for several years rabbi eric sherman was protected by palestinian farmers when they were being harassed or attacked by really just the jewish side they seem. to be. the bilson it's you sure. that's what you're doing giving me the finger but what it
7:43 am
is lifting its hands to fight back all of them said oh yeah that i want to get food out of the rest of the restaurant now there is. nothing like an arab giving the finger to a jew should have his hand cut off oh now it's gone completely crazy. coming here to guard the arabs one of. the. how often i've heard soldiers say well the high court is there we're 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 i am bored at work 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
7:44 am
a set up here to meet you did you walk in comes down and when anyone tries to work there he tries to stop them but this time barely 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 this document to his nation 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
7:45 am
office. simply this attempt to. slowly slowly take over another doing here another doom here from their point of view this is reading 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 a choice is the best way to hold on to your land and we back you whatever you do. yes it was and it was that he is interested we have him in ok. in. them and. they acknowledge that this was his land and now they said we don't want
7:46 am
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 in the end maybe it'll be easier to finish if there's no attention here on another day as there is. 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 or 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
quote
7:47 am
settlers. but there are israelis helping the palestinians to recessed the construction of the wall what we're doing here right now we are trying to block the walls to trying to stop your construction i just would reach into more from where we're standing at the top of the wall right now there's about you about four or five kilometer into where the bank i'll try to fit into the recognized border international court of justice in the hague that dispatch pictish the construction of fish barrier each of ego but if joe continue continues building it right now when of huge called nineteen twenty five hundred dunam about to be confiscated from the village i think. that was probably one. strike short.
