in one thousand six to seven israel conquered the west bank. and arab east jerusalem. and still today the palestinians live under military straightly 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 a break in a size 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 these are two houses we killed us
5:34 pm
that 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's there's a secret agreement between society in the 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
5:35 pm
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 pm
the i had group of israeli women and here eyes that nobody knows what's going on so we decided to create a group that's going to the checkpoint. observes in the report 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 deities that this will 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 sick has got to shards of that hospital
5:37 pm
it's every time the same problem with getting a child to hospital it can't go on like this. why did he 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 at your own remarks on this. 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 letting one thousand people so first of all this. tremendous stress and tension
5:38 pm
5:40 pm
in addition to checkpoints 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 little. 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 ascherman helps the palestinian the former sitting 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 an end go. here everything here is
5:41 pm
a closed military zone where here there how many meters from here everywhere not able not even to tell you what if. anything. 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 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 going to internalize it. then we have to honor and protect the human rights of every human being including files 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 got slammed promised to the jewish people according to the south lives. yesterday they came when i got back here at four
5:42 pm
pm they came and stole the letter i waste all 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 of it is a trip through. 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 out on the island. for several years rabbi eric sherman was protecting palestinian farmers when they were being harassed or attacked by religious jewish said. those who don't have
5:43 pm
the juice and 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 that i want it i'll get four hundred out the rest of the rest and now. the other thing i do you love and 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. our 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 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
5:44 pm
soldiers and the soldiers themselves are sometimes sutlers. there's a set up here to meet you did you walk in comes down and when anyone tries a worker he tries to stop them but this temporarily sent 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 his mission they came up with this line one year ago. they tried the same trick last year but in the end the farmers worked
5:45 pm
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 lives and we back you whatever you do. gay. yes it was and i would that he is interested we have him in ok.
5:46 pm
i am 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 maybe it'll be easier to finish if there's no attention here in another day as it 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
5:47 pm
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 your protection a good reason to morph from what we're standing at the top of the wall right now there's about you about four or five kilometers into the way the bank i'll try to fix medicare in truckee river nice border the international court of just in the hague has ruled that dish tactic to the construction of fish barrier is illegal but if joe continues continued building it right now we're 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.
5:48 pm
5:49 pm
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. two people are being killed here due to military violence and always if you hear it can keep up if you get the feeling and i. was. i just never began if you just from just a few good confession instead demonstrators never delish me on meet me x. two deep to mr shoes to dish up writing as if it was a military uprighting with military tools. and if it should two people are already being killed here.
5:50 pm
i. think that a. demonstrations against the wall also turned 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 what's happening here is completely immoral 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
5:51 pm
committed i expect people and i think it's our duty to come here and give you just it just like we are because just. because you didn't want them there are soldiers over there you'll be surrounded. newsboys come to the east do not go west. boys get back here. are we going away just go straight round the ship. this is just. that. our way out of rocks. is everything quiet here.
5:52 pm
but. you know i certainly. i did. i failed i thought i you just know ok i must have mixed you up with someone else for what organization are you from. somewhere checkpoint watch so you don't want any more checkpoints. no but less checkpoints stands of us there not enough and this stage we are against checkpoints and we're here so what about the
5:53 pm
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 only give 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. or tell him to get in line one by one closer to the wall.
5:54 pm
but 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 on 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
5:55 pm
that there are so many rules and that if you don't fit into the category then nothing out. of the charade of being reported i will not go to the people of course you will be able to pray just go over there and they will check everything in the computer model of the computer 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 they 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 i remember 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
5:56 pm
a permit no ma i you know clady you know she's forty five years old you cannot see. what. i have to do you 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 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 . when did i mention i'm going to be like i hate moving next to the wall all of you are that why. was it what do you mean by this charade move one by one go back i don't want to run when i got started on.
