a way public global disapproval strikes israel which is on now is the building of eleven one hundred new settler homes in disputed east jerusalem this is the un's most powerful body prepares to consider a palestinian state but. up next part two of our special report as we follow two israeli activists struggling for peace in the middle east are challenging the views of their countrymen stay with us. i think breaking the silence is all about telling the story of the occupation through neighborhoods. we're here to tell you how you conduct an occupation. if the palestinians will be afraid of the i.d.f. is all the time easier to be afraid of acceptance.

so what do you do together this year you make your presence felt just going to hold that's i would say sixty to seventy percent of what i did as a combat soldier now actually by territories was to do with deterrence with you know doing what we call making our presence. we go out. shoot some boys who they are not can see doors run to the other corner invade another house. just to get the fellows to me and feel that we control the city we are the bosses we know what's going on we are everywhere all the time. when you're just charge you understand. this is the way to. do occupy civil society civilians. not talking of doubts

guarding the borders of israel i joined the army and went you know to protect my country starting about protecting five hundred settlers. inside a palestinian city. in hebron well inside the west bank. hundred fifty thousand. palestinians and five hundred israeli settlers nowhere else is the hatred between palestinians and israelis more palpable than here. taken over central parts of hebron the palestinians are hindered from moving freely. checkpoints military installations concrete blocks and israeli soldiers are all many pressing. in hebron one finds the most extreme and aggressive israeli settlers there is

no palestine everything if israel. arabs get out. the settler children are protected by israeli soldiers and paris something very young. the patriarch abraham is said to be buried in hebron the city is one of the holiest places in judaism. one must realize that hebron historically has always been a jewish city can give and founded his kingdom here in hebron. little foot

for our forefathers abraham isaac and jacob and their wives are all here in hebron so it has been a jewish place for thousands of years. no political stunt if that's what this state is a jewish state and we are here to stay because four thousand years ago god promised this land to the jewish family live what we have a divine right to this land seeking neither through war nor violence but as a gift from god. you're a trader. may your name be forgotten there was. a

low there we are from jerusalem today judas shoulder 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 a right not to pick 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 rex i do in a different place israel is my home this is where i live. i just don't see for myself. oh. well good for you that's all of the bullshit of you hold the show you are traitor. you are

a terrorist jewish blood is on your hands. you should be ashamed of your criminal charges but was shot and yes look up pushing. back on you look at this boy would you be happy if something happened to leave you murder. when i was a soldier and her wiser than her 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 and israel people should get the right to vote before he has that ever. once you understand her when she confronts her groom confronted with the most important question and that is what do you choose the land of israel. whether what is important is equality democracy rights for land and the settlers are afraid that

people take the state of israel above the. law. now you are with the europeans who also sponsor hamas. soldier family. unfortunately. throughout history religion and nationalism not just judaism have been a part of the problem they've been part of what leads to. bloodshed. and. countless from my point of view i disapprove of god's name. the judaism that i grew up with. teaches me something

different judaism has to be part of a solution. when i first spent time here. and started to realise that the vast majority of religious jews in this country understands judaism in a way so different than 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 source and you see was there. and. now it is true of course that if you look in the bible you cannot escape the facts and god. promises the entire land of israel including the west bank the occupied territories to the jewish people in perpetuity but that same biblical theology makes it very clear you see that in the bible is it in the prophets and in the toy itself that how much of that land we're living at any given point in history will expand or

contract our world to havior and so there may be a paradox here at the very acts that are necessary to continue the occupation of the wary ones and make us morally unfit. to be there. as holy as the land of israel 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 of god's promise to to the place were kings of prophets walks human life. with hands down trumps it's so much more important.

i've never been but i think that. the majority of the christina struggle is a civilian it's it's an insurrection. when

a child throws a stone at a soldier it's just a fight. and when you wage a war against a civilian population with an army 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 it's right or legitimate or or moral 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 north fifteen feet. you have to be either extremely naive or extremely stupid. sometimes in some cases you choose unjust means because they're the only means that

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 into the vision where i have to make that choice in my position i make my choice and it's just or it's the civilian insurrection. of postings against israeli or oppression of finance definitely 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 directed towards you and your environment and to people you care about and to say that it doesn't affect you. obviously everyone's afraid to die and is afraid to get hurt but. being part of

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 sensitive 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 the same which is a bad. urbanization they're there to try and hold the road looks to be more humane. and as a political statement to oppose ok place and it's as true now it can't.

be. with the current always in blame then. you know because i was so close perceived by the palestinian people exactly like we've come out i was said let's say never really leave. and say the situation was easy i said that when i look at myself and i imagine him when he's eighty i don't think the situation will be so they say they're going to be there without any human rights you know they can live there that sort of thing but then they can be that hamas is can be no rights no no get out of here there's a jihad against in. december two thousand and eight israel attacks the gaza strip one thousand four hundred palestinians and thirteen israelis were killed most of the casualties are civilians this.

breaking the silence has interviewed several israeli soldiers giving testimony about abuse and excessive use of force when. this is the testimony of one two three four five hundred people. one after the other this is not a fan. abusing palestinians on a daily basis looting destruction of truck of you know the sort of property killing whatever comes up in the testimonies. you can come from a different world and then started describe the stories as were crimes as. i know one thing. that this is what we've done what's wrong. with the. testimonies about excessive use of force are met with silence and denied in israel

. i don't think silence is an israeli disease silence is a human sings and there were not the you know when you don't look good you don't confront and there. oh hello to pursue continue our life without rules. supporters of this war you're killing children. shame on you shame on you. nobody shouts nobody kreiss we refuse to be murderers here all traders here all traders shame on you shame on you these really attack on gaza according to these really press was supported by ninety percent of the israelis. jonathan polak participates in several demonstrations against the gaza war.

oppressing the population is a war crime and people are dying. traitors traitors. just yet roads. i. respect on the palestinian flag. i think have to understand that. this just only if israel like it does exist there fascist extreme right and it's growing and strengthening but. there really is a democracy for jews in israel it's being limited more and more with time but for. as we speak now there really is a democracy for jews in israel but it's not really

a democracy it's a thing because if you're jewish you have certain from the credit rights and if you're not sure your deeds these rights are much less and if your. a resident of a thing resident ok territories. you're under a completely different legal system not. one not a problem. that. the. israeli right wing extremists and nationalists from the organization. are demonstrating against jonathan polak and other activists during a demonstration against the war. members into to encourage soldiers to shoot anti-war protesters that.

come on guys use live ammunition give them one of the heads. go to hell get out of here. control going to do no harm done and against the anarchists are bold israeli and international activists he called himself peace a deceptive is nothing to do with peace do you believe they are a bunch. of dead fish. but occupation is a very good war i mean of course they use this war because it's it's a very extreme terminology we're not all cubans we're not up your parents. it's. still.

oh. yeah. i. love.

i. like. the current gear as we speak i'm facing the street from there and i've faced me more before. no more love i love you i care i care acquitted or i get convicted i daresay for you i spend some five hundred of c o. o but it's part of the it's part of reality. you want to sit at home you know doing 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 in the world around you. are then here and now this is

where 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 and i fired every night dozens of grenades and the neighbors of people with i used palestinians as human shields i've you know all the things that i can tell you and then you will and we shall feel we can speak and we're sitting now in the same room.

it was you want to put in jail every israeli soldier who abuse the palestinians who in my generation should go to jail than in one long line left right marching i did that because we all think this is just the levels of different ways and this is yeah. but you know what i was there came out clear and no one who served there has claimed it's. way.

way. way more. please. please. just say. it's.
