4:37 am
him if you see what she's doing. that's really what she's here to indicate it's the boys below i want to get the only thing that gets to date in this situation and. you know this is in israel and there are many many questions why are we here oh may we give anything to our enemies and we are in the middle of a war even if we are not saying it aloud we. and i think it is a phone there are not questions the only answers we hear because of our. god from is them this is the land belongs to us. although. you can see this is the essence the hard core of the accusation because they are so good as living inside i mean because the center of this thing and city and you put
4:38 am
a scene is there and they are very extreme and there is the army of protecting them and protecting this for the scenes against the settlers so you have all the elements for greek drama you know this is the essence so they can place you. we're living in a liberal democracy with a free press and all of the other things that we take for granted in a democracy and yet the reality in the occupied territories is very very different and surprisingly in spite of the free press in spite of the fact that you have hundreds of journalists covering the situation it remains the case that the israeli public really doesn't know what is taking place in the occupied territories and i think they don't know because they choose not to know. they're one of the. forty eight. a very long.
4:39 am
cord. in which is a game seventy eight percent of the company. as it existed before there was another war in sixty seven. the stuff by the side and the moment this war was finished and the saudis. we had. there was a natural as. bizarre. by some people do and next one and after a few weeks in the few months passed by and we suddenly saw does no pressure at all one is to give back these territories and then slowly some people said why not why should we get down and put our settlements that the idea was to annex is tethered to us wherever days
4:40 am
a settlement idea is to annex the obstacle is that the palestinian people living there then the question that arises how do you annex i'll just have a place with total hundred million or three million arabs palestinians condemn and tell some people who say this just take these two to half a million palestinians and push them out of palestine as be did to house the palestinian people in nine hundred forty eight so if this all the said let this other thing the exclaim said let's do it the most extreme out of one. because the israeli soldiers put all this on our necks because the settlers were throwing stuff it was good lick it up to protect us which you know instead of chucking stones we flew filthy water and other stuff that passes through the net in . hebrew is the only silly in the west bank and gaza duck
4:41 am
territory settlement that are. implanted at the heart of the city and with the result of that is the slow death of the posts in the population center for the benefit of the expression of these sentiments he can see this as a trance two thousand since the beginning of the reason the fall of the with the closures of all the entry points into the old city where we have two thousand is because areas where no pulsing in vehicle movement is allowed another area where else and these are not allowed to go through and no presence of passengers and sell out and they have closed shops. you can't pass fail you can move freely through your house your home can't go feed
4:42 am
it to another village another city you can't go to your university. so this was a supermarket this was a photography studio the shops used to be open folk earn their living here i know then four hundred settlers came to live here and they shut the whole town down some little by little. but i. didn't hear really coming back to the jewish roots the first two or three. isaac and rebecca they couldn't live here they call the jewish religion even i mean even though you're. bringing a jewish family in the place of the jewish roots. the basis of.
4:43 am
any i country in the world it would be defined as fascist it's not worse there are a bunch of fine but also people whose aim in life is to divide out hundred sixty thousand palestinians home to consider strangers. these people who've come. search your forty or fifty years ago for your. consider the inhabitants of firewater who've been there for five five thousand years history. i believe it's important for point to come and see what's going on here and not just have them fresh in from the news because the news is very slanted and when
4:44 am
people come they sense that this is a place where people can walk around and visit and feel normal and it's not what. what they see on the news where they think it's just a military zone i think you know a lot of soldiers come here in the beginning they think you know. and this is this is you know like an army base on the name that this is not an army base this is a place for jewish people. i remember in the year two thousand two thousand and one and two thousand and two when three d. hold fifty thousand inhabitants of the old city of hebron where on the fifth floor one hundred days in the of that method of two three years this caused palestinians
4:45 am
to leave if they all think the outside. there are far off. that. i served in hebron two different period of time say i came first as a soldier in the end of two thousand and one till the middle of two thousand and two was then i came back as a commander in march two thousand and three two or three december and the first two three weeks that we came to hebron they went down to the city you all shots in your view send in or send to wields shops and doors from coniston ians elsa's and sterilize streets where palestinians are forbidden to walk and only jews are allowed to walk there yes to four score free for all time and say the house is innovative bases and you go on walking the streets and you find yourself in front of their fifties the probably in germany sounds you know it sounds familiar greater
4:46 am
than to us such as arabs to the gas chambers guys they are observes out with the stars of david a never in the middle and there was a group of my complicit in the beginning such refused to serve and have them we were shocked even believe what's going on you know. you come to a place there you have two sets of law by definition that you orders are that you have to protect the settlers and if you see them attacking palestinians you're not allowed to arrest them of course there are many other people who are being sent there and come back from there the. it against the setlist was a settler thought. it fit in with the kind. of. detachment whose job it was to obey and serve to settle us but these are really all
4:47 am
we have been infiltrated for many years know by the said let's. just. part of the settlement the settlement is closely connected with. the security presence in her own is heavy unfortunately there are people who are trying to kill us and many of the terrorists that wander around trying to blow themselves up anywhere from. haifa have have come out of the problem and the presence the military presence here is to protect us but it's also to try to weed
4:48 am
out these terrorists and so to it that they don't just tell of it from both themselves up. although legally they are there to protect everyone to impose the law on everyone that the actual soldier stationed there understands his job as protecting the settlers and stopping palestinian terror. say ok so we will start probably will be guided by. one. to the left and all fail david is the spokesman for foreign press of the settlement that had drawn an office documenting our work i just offered him to speak with you guys to give their point of view and they refuse because they say they don't cooperate with traitors during the war time like today traitors like me
4:49 am
so you will get only one perspective today and i'm sorry for that. i don't call him military you do show all who leads the group as a any other normal country they would put him on trial for treason and hang him. but unfortunately israel hasn't reached that level yet of a justice. people express their opinions some people are put in jail when they express their opinions because it's called incitement and whatever he does what he does that's considered to be legitimate however i don't relate to them too much importance if there are many jewish communities and not only jewish communities which understand the importance of hebron to the jewish people the significance of cover on the significance of jews living here and people are able to express third support in different ways sometimes people come to visit some people send letters some people wish to donate some of their money and i think that that proves without
4:50 am
any doubt that people understand the importance of the jewish community of rome. and we came to corona nine hundred sixty seven we didn't occupy a foreign city came back home and came back to the first jewish city in the land of israel and like you look at the faces of those you know those jews who were killed say goodbye god was surely a little of the last. i'm nearer to their claim starts we are a continuation to the jewish community we lived here was deported from your brain. and that's not the truth. of course there are some people who come from families who live there that agree with the system but there are lots. from the jewish community who have run who are against you know fundamentally against
4:51 am
the sentiments of the men to be against the idea that six hundred fifty people can you know have all their rights in the back of one hundred fifty six thousand people . usually in jews holidays or weekends a lot of people come from other people visitors from jerusalem from outside and one of the you know biggest fears of the idea if. it's so oppressed and sniper will sit down near one of the houses and i will just slot everyone how different is the law here in the streets so how do you deal with it for sure weekends are now days you post court feel on this post a new. friday morning you divide all the palestinian neighbors around a certain rate. you go to search. for this roam around take arrested one of the house or not the family in the room you put observers on go to sleep after three
4:52 am
hours you wake up it's time for the second round and again that's another aspect of what it was to live here. with the computer the house they asked me to connect all of the family with them in the kitchen all in one room they take off all of the love this the bigs the bits all of that and have in many time they come through the house this is all of the family are what i said and then it was like he said i don't care. i remember one one night we state from one o'clock after midnight. four o'clock and flaws are leaning over our heads and they say they want the house and they know nothing of how. i did sixty eight
4:53 am
after the six day war and the great. military victory that god gave to us. until it wasn't sure here is we've liberated sixty seven let you stay the jews move it. and israel. get together they advertise in the chinese papers. downtown have a pothole tell. all the good side swimming pool and no great music going to ten is full of might but here don't start tell. provided if you pay extra money thirty fairly straight to the best of a service there in just a hotel then do the government decided to take him out of. the military government . police force. and then demand you plight and. the government could not function anymore to just
4:54 am
turn to the government. settlement so the government would let him take. it to a new settlement. in one thousand certainly build me a came along says i get the solution and that solution is called. here and she built this beautiful beautiful suburb with low interest mortgages cheap housing a living sized swimming pool really the tennis courts came a big. dominated settlement the. freshest and immensity but. and then to start their own. interest back into civil war so slowly a little step of the step of the step of the step they occupied is part of curve on where you know even in this part the settlers of the small minority turnout was
4:55 am
there a majority quite of the one. hundred this was the b.c. street in hebron here everybody came here all the farmers people from the neighboring towns. coolies i know nobody comes. out everything behind my leader since the intifada to close to all entrants. like the brothers we used to go in and out when the settlers could not see us base for them doing well to the jaw shots i've seen so now we're getting in from the back imam climbing over the neighbor's roof upstairs and over why. all this trouble to keep the settlers out of harm's way around the south of there is one that's where they leave. sharon and also in all the other colonies around us stop in the.
4:56 am
wrong stuff look look there we're surrounded by settlers and soldiers going to stop and read their voice. i have no doubt that if today another two hundred thousand jews will continue in some area a lot of the arabs who are here because we have to throw them out i don't know them i don't know that today i i favor that i don't know working for forced expulsions very slowly but i have a feeling that if they see masses of people coming over the think their homes away from them just settling the lands here. any normal human being have specific steps that was a but you know he'll be on this point i kept thinking my children going to take it even more so i'm going to have have to leave
4:57 am
basically these if right to both live and as i wrote it two weeks ago if i could both realistic and say that territory is the main core north among the old school saying that this the sputum of middle east is a religious one it has a nation mystic one and the main disputers of both land and look even at the transfer was a real transfer and for nobody talks about. something about fifteen twenty twenty five so i wasn't people who all had to leave their old homes it is just because crazy people just the neighborhood until they had to leave.
