5:33 am
in one thousand six to seven israel conquered the west bank. and arab east jerusalem. is still today the palestinians live under military history like 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 it regular size because you have to understand that what's going on and you actually pay territories is like one of the biggest it was in history. people just
5:34 am
don't talk about it you don't come back home and see a money these are two palestinians you kill that's the way it just doesn't come over. that people back home people here in israel have no clue of what's going on. except there is there's a secret agreement between society and in the military. we know there's going on there but please don't bring about the you know we 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 in
5:35 am
a discussion and debate here in this area. and we try to talk about the small stories that make the big problem to make they 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 the strain is soldiers control and hinder palestinians the biggest checkpoints located between ramallah and east jerusalem on occupied land. the checkpoint is called.
5:36 am
group of israeli women and here lies there nobody knows what's going on so we decided to create a group that's going to the checkpoints and observe in the reports that's why the observing eye is part of our lawful even our. bad face that we all post will keep pace in. our presence here is a clear statement that in the post occupation it's a statement for the army for the police for the border police play anybody and for the palestinians to know that they are people actively opposing the occupation. would be a reasonable follow dialysis she needs to alice's three times a week do you understand it's three times a week there is nothing to do if the boy sick of it has got to shards of that
5:37 am
hospital it's every time the same problem with getting a child to hospital it counts go on like this oh. my do they do this. they're doing it on purpose they won't let anyone in. your life everybody here is ill and those that aren't soon will be here yes it's true. that when i'm only usually your only remarkable person. 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 built for lifting one thousand people so first of all this. tremendous stress in terms of people who go to
5:38 am
work every single day and have to stand here for why. it's making it difficult for palestinians who live in this area who are so-called to live for and visit. the other group of people around to the church for a parish to new who have come it's too cold to either go through to work or to go through the hospitals we got. to go to pray. to visit sick a relative to go through readings. to go to get. your if the
5:39 am
queue at the checkpoint to be able to go to the office which is sealed. the deal.
5:40 am
in addition to checkpoints and obstacles israel has build so-called settlements in 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 old illegal according to the national mall. palestinian farmer scumbags says 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 eric asher moment helps the palestinian farmer. this is. something you all have to leave i am asking you we do not have time for this is the red line please leaves it and go if we're ever going to hear everything here is
5:41 am
a closed military zone where here there how many meters from here everywhere the table and even the other. thing. we believe that the one of the most basic commandments is what we read in the very first verses of the bible is that all human beings are created with sentimental came in god's image and it doesn't say just jews or rich or poor it's very it's a point of that both men and women if we really believe that if you are going to internalize that then we have to honor and protect the human rights of every human being including calls that. eric ascherman into protection of the bible is a rarity in israel. the palestinian all of trees are standing on the biblical land and on the biblical hills this land is god slams promised to the jewish people according to the south lives. yesterday they came when i got back
5:42 am
here at four pm so they came and stole the letter i stole the black covers like those. they stole these. they stole cutters and knives and the all of us over there did you see the all it. though. the settlers do this yes the sudras the all worlds 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 are thieves how to me they were. for several years rabbi eric sherman must protect the palestinian formers when they
5:43 am
are being harassed or attacked by religious jewish said smith. posted. those in its roof least that's what you're doing giving me the finger but it is lifting his hands to fight. them so do not want found yet for the rest of now arrest him now like nothing other than you and i are giving the finger to a jew should have his hand cut off oh now we've gone completely crazy. about coming here to guard the arabs. how often 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. basically to stand between palestinian people threatening them and sometimes it's important we're here to keep the army honest to make sure they're
5:44 am
doing with their supposed to be doing. the sutler's are protected by israeli soldiers and the soldiers themselves are sometimes sutlers. there's a set up here to meet you did you walk and 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 settlers is to take over hill after 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 it. is a mismatch. i would also like to see this still committed his mission they came up
5:45 am
with this line one year ago. they tried the same trick last year but in the end the farmers work here. if you don't like it take your questions to the coordination office. simply this attempt to. slowly slowly take over another dunam here another doom here from their point of view this is revealing the land of israel in order to pay any means possible. piece by piece. we're trying in some way to help how things have gone even get some of the lands back. we always go by the accuser the palestinian the army wants control they want to go anywhere without a permit and. you have to make a choice is the best way to hold on to your land and we back you whatever you do is
5:46 am
the years old and they will be here treated be a family. ok but it is. really difficult like right a lot of them and. they acknowledge this was his land and now they said we don't want you to work here today though because if they do something to come and shoot you. there's a good chance that we will win your view and maybe it'll be easier to finish if there's no intention here and another day is just. in the west bank this trail has built the barrier whole made out of fences and concrete it is part of israel's defense it protects settlements and it ties them closer to israel. and the barrier of the wall is mainly built on occupied land in breach of
5:47 am
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 settlers. but there are israelis helping the palestinians to resist the construction of the wall with redoing to right now we're going to go to war and trying destruction joe construction i just would listen to more from where we're standing at the top of the wall right now there's about here about four or five kilometer if into the west bank i'll try to fix frederick i can recognize border the international court of justice in the hague has moved to dispatch to fish the construction of this barrier to the bow but it will continue continue building it right now we're in a village called nailing twenty five hundred dunam about to be confiscated from
5:48 am
a village. that was partially. the story short. i. now know that not jonathan polak has participated and direct action in some demonstrations for many years several times a week. just so he has been arrested and physically injured like this right his soldiers i i i i am i putting was the next
5:49 am
week that it was the first. such a friend of mine was arrested by it's a very big part of my life and. you know and you have to go for a fighting and i live here and i'm. you know my life pretty much revolves around political activism so obviously the political situation affects my life and my future and i thought. i. was out to people and killed here and you can imagine if i actually always if you care is complete keep talking if you get the feeling i was on my. i i just never be the guy if you just want to say too good a few seconds to them they don't never delish the army me at steve demonstrations to dish up writing as if it was a military uprighting military. and if issued to people are going to be killed you
5:50 am
. that. 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 gets killed. i believe the it's my duty as an israeli by what's happening here you can keep the e-mail coming and it's being done in in our name. whether we agree with it or not a moral obligation if you come here and chant we do people actually enough to state
5:51 am
if you oppose something your government is doing when such crimes are being committed i think people and i think richard judy to come here and give you just a little much here because of them. because you didn't have them there are soldiers over there you'll be surrounded not move boys come to the east do not go west ground. always get back here. are we going away just go straight down on a ship. come. on this is just. that. our way out of rocks. is everything quiet here.
5:52 am
no. i think. that they are not a felon you just know ok i must have mixed up with someone else. what organization are you from. checkpoint so you don't want any more checkpoints. you know but less checkpoints there service there not enough to the stage where it
5:53 am
against checkpoints and where you hear so what about the checkpoints if. you could who are checkpoints it's cost of millions so you want something respectable to let everybody in who are a checkpoint cost fifteen million it's own with our pockets and then they closed it this as a rule does no matter here we have the entrance to the notary it should be at the entrance on israel's border not here so write a letter notice checkpoints we have already done that let me have a nice day we need people like you to keep camp with tell him to get in line one by one closer to the wall. that is. not a. lot. of.
5:54 am
money but it lined up one by one. stick close to the wall. and. i've been coming to kalandia for seven years so when it comes to around my van it's important for me to know what's going on fall though 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 bella only a photocopy. it's crazy you know it's not only crazy it's very painful to think
5:55 am
that there are so many rules and that if you don't fit into the category then nothing out. of the straight out will be acquitted of them out there of course you'll be able to pray just go over there and they will check everything in the computer. and it could be the. moment you put 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 the authorities behave as if they did know when to treat them as naughty people. not obeying the rules in a way ignoring the rules and i'm of them carrying. them. so i just that's what they are. very early on and. they're looking at us now the whole world has been watching are so low lifes. which is i you from jerusalem to the city
5:56 am
yes i'm from jerusalem are you do you have a permit oh god no my dear i you know plays you know she's forty five years old you cannot see this but. i have to do you have posted is that i don't need them and over and over and over the woman you know you're not an old woman could not that yeah maybe she's forty five years not quite so much beyond ok you're forty five years old if you have that you know life must have been hard for her but. we're not allowed to go in pretty much nothing prevents us from praying. doing good leavitt's i'm going to like i said move next to the wall all of you are ready for that why. was it what you mean by this space move one by one go back i was probably one of the top.
