perceptor or taken by most of the people is a another attack from outside it's a little bit i think confusing to the israeli society because this time it's really . and it's real and it's not really seen as it's been people and therefore it's very hard just to. to do just that. but in this situation today that israelis are so afraid of any change in their in their thoughts their rage from the whole world that caters for no reason in their eyes. just another attack why is there so little support for the fatality in israel there is say like i said before there is the fear there is the war there is almost no left wing. camp or peace camp or the people that used to call themselves peace camp a what we call doing this and left paris robin resenting them are

basically people that want to maintain the being the elite of israel maintain the connection with america and europe therefore speak in the same democratic liberal language and have nothing to do with peace or getting to know the society here opening the borders but the other way around to close the borders to have little pressure from outside and for that they want to get out of the sixty seven by territories but they have nothing to do with. a lead peace just an intention to . make ourselves good for the world liberal world and want to be part of and in the same time control all the resources of israel palestine you went to the army and so did your brother so what is different among stephen other israelis who participated supporter and the rest of the society they grew up in a zionist home a. pile. family my brother and my father and. also

when i went to the army itself to be an occupier an oppressor i always wanted liberty for everyone because this is what i grew up on in the army understood that we are speaking in one tongue and doing the other the other way around while we are in the territory we are not fighting for defending our home we're fighting to defend an elite jewish elite that wants to control this place and also not only the jewish lead but part of the jewish elite the secular specific issues that now is being taken by the religious one but after all it's not a fight for for freedom for us it's not a fight for for. a for defending israel the fight in the occupation is to maintain the control over the palestinian people in order to maintain political strength and resources when you participated last year was so

anything that surprised she's a not so surprised because of bein activist at least eighty years i think so. and i've seen most of what the army can do to nonviolent activists most surprising thing was the taser gun a shocking weapon a that was used against my brother a trying to get to his heart with no whatsoever a attack from him and he was hugging the friend of his on the floor of the pier and that lost his daughter you know hamas attack on jerusalem in a bus he was hugging him and both of them hard while a big officer cohen was telling them if you don't stop hugging will have to use force when they didn't stop hugging you taste him and shock team three times going toward the heart. can cause death very very easily and this shocked me

because i was seeing that in front of my eyes while i was beaten up on the floor of the ship of the navy itself i saw my brother bouncing and screaming suddenly from an electric shock. this was the only the only surprise that i have apart from that it was very clear that they're going to a keaton in a restless in the middle of the sea and do you think you and your brother were treated differently because you are this really definitely no. well i well i was beaten up by the soldiers a that also had these taser gun and all the other guns possible i was speaking to them in hebrew in israeli acts and with israeli slang we really points of common common culture looking into their eyes i saw the hardship of him to actually beat me up while he had to take sides. to decide to take

a deep breath and then come back as a real fighter and then beat me up he took aim at least five minutes to do so because he couldn't face standing like someone someone just like him but he feels just like him does not someone in arabic that shouts in a different language that we are all afraid of him you'd understand what he wants a which you treat totally differently and we know that from our activism we always go into front israelis with the palestinians we always have this difference and of course if a palestinians arrest and he can be kept for a lot more than an israeli we have to be let out after twenty four hours even as he can be there for six months a he's been taken to a military jail we will usually be let out after and through occasions and like that the israeli government claims that there were weapons onboard the last tele from what you saw obvious claims to i wasn't on the mom of the mom or so i was not there i cannot tell exactly what them was in my view mama i had friends that were

there and i know that they were used some game things to beat up the soldiers that was attacking them that were attacking them a weapons he was being stew for the ship those daily maintenance of the ship and when they were attacked by a helicopter that before getting to the boat itself shot from there and already killed one journalist in his head like then. they were attacked by a group of. you can say pirates you can say navy whatever you want based on what you know other populations different this year from both his radio side and the organizers of the fraternity. probably will be the a little different but i have no idea why i know that unit and my brother went. there to. train people in nonviolent

resistance a few others have been doing that meaning they have more of the intention to actually teach them what the israeli army's and many times i think the people that are against the israeli policies from outside activists see the israeli army monstrous army which is not necessarily true its money monstrous but not more than any other so when they come into conflict with the israeli army especially after one or two of them got killed they became very violent if i was there even seeing. the soldiers shooting and killing people by me i would know very well that it would do very little good if i will try to attack i will have to be a nonviolent. which means actively make sure that things are calming down but still say say what you want with your body meaning not moving to their orders but not pushing and not touching them why another sweater let's both of you let me know

that there is no chance that it will actually reach gaza reaching gaza is not the first aim of the full to the first aim of the flotilla is to say something to show that is under siege. it's illegally under international law that a meal and a half people are being starved and shot at and taken their land all the time with the narrowing down their areas that they can get to shooting to death everyone that gets six hundred meters from the from the stands with israel shooting sometimes to death and sometimes only non-lethal non-lethal weapons a fisherman that go out more than three miles a from the sea even though twenty miles what is their promise to them in oslo agreements. to show that there are people that support them that not all israelis and jews around the world are for oppression and for these things. and to

the support and solidarity in a nonviolent way if we believe in something that can definitely change that isn't it and it just in that argument that the israelis have when they say that they have the right to defend themselves from the missiles and the militant activities coming from gaza maybe i'll ask you what is israel that wants to defend itself who is the one that needs security here who does israel have to defend only jews or only the ones that. want to love the flag of israel or only religious jews may be or may be everyone that serves in the army or may be in democracy and human rights you consider the security of everyone and if you say israel israel today is controlling a four and a half million palestinians with no rights in another million have to see how frights are these people not supposed to be defended. the best

way to be fend them is to stop oppressing them and the best way to defend. the jews is to stop oppressing them the israeli government has urged for the flotilla to dock in either the israeli port of ashdod or egypt i wish and they said that they will be personally responsible for making sure that all the cargo goes to gaza once they've checked that there are no guns ammunition or weapons on board so why not support this because we want the goal is not to help the people of gaza bringing things with the things should come from a normal economy that the borders are open or at least open the way that people can control what goes in what goes out they can buy whatever they want to use really is controlling everything that goes in and out of gaza and economically making sure that you really market uses a copter to market to put whatever we have over those israelis not doesn't want to let the people of gaza leave normally they say it out loud informally to get it
