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 work every single day and have to stand here for a while. it's making it difficult for palestinians who live in this area so-called to live for and visit. the other group of people around through the trip was a parish he knew who have permits to go to either gulf to work or to go through the hospitals or the dog. too cold too crazy. to

1:41 pm
to leave i am asking you we do not have time for this is the red line please leaves it and go down if we're ever going to hear everything here is 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 elemental came in god's image and it doesn't say first. rich or poor it's very it's a point of thing both men and women if we really believe that if you are trying to internalize that then we have to honor and protect the human rights of every human being including healthy. eric asher months into protection of the bible is rare in israel. the palestinian olive trees are standing on biblical land and on
1:42 pm
biblical hills this land is god's land promised to the jewish people according to his that lives. yesterday they came when i got back here at four pm for they came and stole the letter i waste all the black covers like those. they stole these. little cutters and knives and the all of us over there did you see the all it. could go. to the sellers do this yes the sudras to all of us and did this i have been away for three days they stole everything they did this they stole covers and tools and did this with the all of us. so when you came back everything was gone. yes they were thieves how to me.
1:43 pm
for several years rabbi eric sherman was just protecting the palestinian farmers when they were being harassed or attacked by religious jewish scientists. both to become. ill suited to fleece that's what you're doing giving me the finger that was lifting his hands to fight. them so i did not kill them off i guess the rest and now the rest of now there is. nothing left and i am giving the finger to a jew should have his hand cut off you know now we've gone completely crazy. about coming here to guard the arabs. but. how often i've heard soldiers say well the high court is there we're here our presence here is what's essential not only sometimes sometimes we actually are as
1:44 pm
human shields. basically to stand between palestinian people threatening them and sometimes it's important we're here to keep the army others to make sure they're doing with their supposed to be doing. the settlers 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 or he tries to stop them but this them release of the army. and. the strategy for the settlers is to take over hill off the 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 and.
1:45 pm
i would also like to see this documented his mission they came up with this line one year ago. they tried the same trick last year but in the end the farmers worked here. if you don't like it take your questions to the coordination office. simply this attempt to. slowly slowly take over another doom here another doom here from their point of view this is we deeming the land of israel in the group any means possible. piece by piece. we're trying in some way to help how things have gone and even get some of the land back. we always go by the accuser the palestinian the army wants control they want to go anywhere without

1:47 pm
the barrier or the wall is mainly built on occupied land in breach of 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 which we're doing here right now is trying to copy the last united trying to structures protection division to more from within and at the cost of the wall right now there's about be about four or five kilometers into the way the bank accounts artificial recognition recognized border the international court of justice in the hague has ruled that dispatched to finish the construction of fish barrier to the ego but it will

1:51 pm
done in in our name if you take away can we agree with it or not a moral obligation is to come here and chant we do people actually enough if they can oppose something your government is doing when such crimes are being committed i expect people and i think it's our duty to come here and ask of you just. like we are because just. because you didn't feel them there are soldiers over there you'll be surrounded that you move boys come to the east do not go west around. the boys get back here. are we going away just go straight right around the ship. come. on issue just. that. our way out of rocks. is everything quiet here.
