1:36 am
. a low there we are from jerusalem today. the former soldier in hebron informs journalists diplomats and others about the situation in hebron if someone is willing to listen someone is willing to syria i don't have the right not to take the reason why i wake up in the morning and i go to sleep at night and then the next morning i wake up and still do what i do is because i don't have another option because if i'm not part of the solution i'm part of the problem. i can do it in a different way and do it in a different place israel is my home this is where i live. i just don't see for myself and. you. will get. you there's no look at what
1:37 am
did the you hold the show you are traitor. you are a terrorist jewish blood is on your hands. you should be ashamed of your criminal lives or. the dog in the publishing. you look at this boy would you be happy if something happened to leave you murder. when i was a soldier and when i served in hebron we used to say cynically but that's a sign that we are ready then we understood that something is wrong in this reality we used to say that in israel people shouldn't get the right to vote before they visit him. once you understand her once you confront her bone confronted with the most important question in that is would choose the land of israel. whether it was important is equality the marquess the rights or lend and the settlers are afraid
1:38 am
that people face the state of israel above them as from. now on up. now you are with the europeans who also sponsor hamas. soldier family i am on. the. unfortunately. throughout history religion and nationalism and not just judaism have been a part of the problem they've been part of what leads to. bloodshed. and. the count was from my point of view just a creation of god's name. the judaism that i grew up with. teaches me something different judaism has to be
1:39 am
part of the solution. when i first spent time here. and started to realize that the vast majority of the just use of this country understands judaism in a way so different from what i learned from my rabbis and my teachers my parents my family. you know there were times there are times that won't maybe i'm the crazy one but then you go back to the sources and you see what's there. and. now it is true of course that if you look in the bible you cannot escape the fact that god. promises the entire land of israel including the west bank the occupied territories to the jewish people in perpetuity but that same good local theology makes it very clear you see that in the bible is it in the prophets and it's hard itself that how
1:40 am
much of that land we will be living at any given point in history will expand or contract our moral behavior and so there may be a paradox here at the very acts that are necessary to continue the occupation of the wherry whens and make as morally unfit. to be their. busier is human life is more holy so if you can prevent bloodshed by territorial compromise as painful as it is to give up part of. the places those locate your history as the gods promise to to the place where keynes of prophets walks human life. with hands down trumps it's so much more important.

a child throws a stone at a soldier and it's justified. when you wage a war against a civilian population within our it is incredibly stupid to believe that the violence is not going to. go back at you at some point i'm not going to tell you that it's that it's right or legitimate or or morrow to move to blow up a bus with civilians but if you want to. bomb gaza and kill a thousand four hundred people in. in in a month and you want to expect that this will have no effect until a few. you have to be either extremely naive or it's to be stupid. sometimes in some cases you choose unjust means because they're the only means that
1:43 am
you have i'm not in that situation i can tell you i do not support suicide. but i'm not in the position where i have luckily i'm not in decision where i have to make that choice in my position i make my choice and it's just or it's the civilian insurrection. against israeli or oppression violence differently it does have an effect. i mean i think you'd have to be very naive to claim that you exist in a very violent situation where a lot of very extreme violence is they reacted towards you and your environment and the people you care about and to say that it doesn't affect you. and we see everyone's afraid to die and is afraid to get hurt but. being part of
1:44 am
something of a struggle worth dying for is something worth living for. get out of here. there is one very sensitive issue for israeli peace activists family discussion about the occupation. rarely if ever are outsiders allowed to know about son sort of political discussions within the family. my mother in. law has their activities which i'm in favor of i mean i don't think that muslim which is a bad. urbanisation they're there to try and hold the road looks to be more humane. a. and as a political statement to oppose occupation it's a stroll in our pants. and
1:45 am
i think you can always been blamed and. you know because i was so close to thieves by the palestinian people exactly like we perceive come out i was said let's say never will leave. and say the situation was easy i said that when i look at my son and i imagine him when he's eighty i don't think the situation in the small place a parent is going to be there without any human rights you know they can live there that's something but then they can be that from us is country no rights no no get out of here there's a jihad against it. december two thousand and eight israel attacks the gaza strip one thousand four hundred palestinians and thirteen israelis are killed most of the casualties are see below us.

1:47 am

1:48 am
oppressing the population is a war crime and people are dying. traitors traitors. just yet roads. i. respect on the palestinian flag. i think you have to understand that. this disownment of israel said it does exist or there fascist extreme right and it's growing and strengthening but. really is a democracy for jews in israel it's being limited more and more with time but for. as we speak no there really is a democracy for jews in if but it's not really
1:49 am
a democracy it's in the congress. because if you're jewish you have certain time credits rights and if you're not sure you are these these rights are much less and if you're. a resident of. the ok territories. you're under a completely different legal system. i'm not. really rightwing extremists and nationalists from the organization to sue are demonstrating against jonathan polak and other activists during a demonstration against the war. members into to encourage soldiers to shoot anti-war protesters at.

1:52 am
i. look at. the current fear as we speak there are i'm facing six indictments and i've faced the more before i don't know if i love a little bit i fear i get acquitted or i get convicted i dare say for you i spend some time i'm sure. but it's part of the once part of reality. you want to do with home you know where anything that's understandable. but if you want to get out and i think. for one to live. you have to get out and do something about what you see and the world around you. are then here and now this
1:53 am
is what we have. my concern is whether something is moral or. whether something fits within my my moral grounds or whether something is right or wrong. and i think we'll have a very important thing to understand for us. as a people who have done very very bad things don't have horns they look like they look like you you know i fired every night dozens of grenades into neighbors of people with i used palestinians as human shields i've you know all the things i can tell you and then you will be shouting at me it's me and we're sitting now in the same room.
1:54 am
you know if you want to go to jail every israeli soldier would because the palestinians who are my generation should go to jail and anyone who are blind west right marching. because we are this is the level of the different ways and this and yet. no one was there came out clear. no want to serve there has cleared its. way.
