take sides in the conflict this comes as talks between serbia and kosovo have stalled over fresh violence on the disputed border. and security council comes to the chinese as it the palestinian bid for statehood to the council's admissions committee that the international community vigorously condemns israel's approval of new plans to build another thousand settlers in east jerusalem. right now and i see with me to israeli activities who strive for peace in the middle east by challenging the views of israelis themselves that's part one of our special report coming up next stay with us. ah. god.

i come here because i live in jerusalem and i am in shock and then the rage stepped out then what is happening here. no democracy without freedom to demonstrate. that is not a very clear line between religion and nationalism. as it is as a religious person together they can be a very volatile and dangerous mix of fight here is the worst possible combination of nationalism a little bit none of it. a bit of a. go back to you know we don't know if you hear a jew religious jew calling another jew and not the way they realize that i'm not that you are. not like this is my. son

this is my land go back to america criminal. in one thousand six to seven israel conquered the west bank. and arab east jerusalem. still today the palestinians live under military control. this is a film for 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 a break in a science because you have to understand that what's going on in the occupied territories is like one of the biggest i was in israel. people just don't talk about it you know come back home and see a money these are two palestinians we kill this thing it just doesn't come over. that people back home people here in israel have no clue of what's going on there it's like there's there's a secret agreements between society in the military. we know there's going on there but please don't bring about you know 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 a discussion and debate here in this area. we try to talk about the small stories that make the big problem to make big 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 these trailers soldiers control and hinder palestinians the biggest checkpoint is located between ramallah and east jerusalem on occupied land. the check point is called.

the eye a group of israeli women and here eyes that nobody knows what's going on so we decided to create a group that's going to the checkpoints and observes and the reports that's why the observing eye is proud of our local even our. bad says that we all post will keep pace in. our presence here is a clear statement that the post will keep pace and it's a statement for the army for the police for the border parties play anybody and for the palestinians to know that they are people actively opposing the occupation.

that the audience that this dialysis. he needs dialysis three times a week do you understand it's three times a week there is nothing to do leave the boys sick and it has got to shards of that hospital it's every time the same problem with getting a child to hospital it can't go on like this. why do they do this. they're doing it on purpose they won't let anyone in so. everybody here is ill and those that aren't soon will be here yes it's true. only if you live under your own little remarks on this bill. 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 the built for letting one thousand people so first of all this. tremendous stress and tension of people who go to work every single day and have to stand here for. it's making it difficult for palestinians who live in this area so-called jerusalem residents. as a group of people will come through the checkpoints a parish kenyans who have permits to go to either go through to work or

to go through to hospitals doctors to go to to pray. visit sick a relative to go to weddings. or to go to get. you if the queue at the checkpoint to be able to go to the office which is just a. short video. game.

in addition to checkpoints and obstacles israel has built 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 all the legal according to international law. palestinian farmer skum access less and less of their land as the settlements expire frequently there is violence one soldier source sutlers stop the farmers from cultivating their land.

rabbi eric asher money helps the palestinian the farmer sitting in front of you all have live to. leave i am asking you we do not have time for this the red line please leave and go down. here everything here is a closed military zone where here there how many meters from here everywhere not able to even. think and. we believe that the one of the most basic commandments and duties of what we read in the very first verses of the bible is that all human beings are created but sentimental came in god's image and it doesn't say just jews or non jews are just rich or poor and it's very it's a point of saying both men and women if we really believe that if we were going to internalize it. then we have to honor and protect the human rights of every human being including palestinian. eric asher months into partes of the bible

is a rarity in israel. the palestinian all of trees are standing on biblical land and on biblical hills this land is got slammed promised to the jewish people according to the settlers. yesterday they came when i got back here at four pm they came and stole the letter they stole the black covers like those. based all the. they still cutters and knives in the all of us over there did you see the all of it. to the settlers do this yes the sudras to all of us 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. yeah so when you came back everything was gone. yes they were thieves

how on the island. for several years rabbi eric sherman was protected by palestinian farmers when they were being harassed or attacked by religious jewish. mostly because of the filth and it's. that's what you're doing giving me the finger at what is lifting his hands to fight back all of them said oh yes i wanted to get food out of the rest of the restaurant now. the other night and i am giving the finger to a jew should have his hand cut off oh now it's gone completely crazy. coming here to guard the arabs one of. the. 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 human shields. physically to stand between palestinian people threatening them and sometimes it's important work here. to keep the army out is to make sure they're doing what they're 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 in comes down and when anyone tries a worker he tries to stop them but this time barely said the army. the strategy for the sutler's 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. i would also like to see this document to his nation they came up with this line one year ago. it 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 doing here another doom here from their point of view this is redeeming the land of israel and they'll do it by any means possible. piece by piece. we're trying in some way to help how things have gone and even get some of the lands back. we always go by the accuser the palestinian the army wants

control they want no palestinian to go anywhere without a permit i can't you have to make the choice is the best way to hold on to your lives and we back you whatever you do. yes it was and i would that he if it be of him is ok. with. them and. they acknowledge that this was his land and now they said we don't want you to work here today though because it's dangerous someone could come and shoot you. there's a good chance that we will win here and maybe it'll be easier to finish if there's no attention here on another day as there is. in the west bank israel has built a barrier a wall made out of fences and concrete it is part of israel's defense it protects settlements and it ties them closer to israel.

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 was salts in further land loss to israeli settlers. but there are israelis helping the palestinians to recessed the construction of the wall which we're doing here right now we are trying to patch up the walls to trying to stop protection i did reach into more from where we're standing at the top of the wall right now and there's about you about four or five kilometers into the way the bank i'll try to fit right into actually recognized border international court of justice in the hague did dispatch pictish the construction of

a barrier as you go but if you know continue continue building it right now where you have huge cold nineteen twenty five hundred dunam about to be confiscated from the village. that was one. strike short. thanks . thanks. jonathan polak has participated and direct actions on demonstrations for many years several times a week. has been arrested and specifically injured by stray his soldiers i was

i i i thank. god. thank god. for. things like oh my god my god oh my god it's a very big part of my life and. you know in the after go for a fighting i live here and i'm. you know my life. much revolves around political activism so obviously the political situation affects my life and my future and. i. i two people are being killed here due to literary violence and over as if the future is completely locked up in a computer field and i thought i. was

i just never been going if you just want to start to ditch stuff and second instead of stating that it never delish the army me x. too deep demonstrations to dish up writing as if it was a military uprighting with military tools and if it should two people are already being killed here. i know. that if. i. demonstrations against the wall also turn violent they quickly erupt with stone throwing and gunfire. it is mostly the protesters who are seriously injured sometimes protesters get killed. i believe the it's my duty as an

israeli what's happening here you can keep going and it's being done in in our name . whether we agree with it or not a moral obligation is to come here and stand we do people actually enough to state if you 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 give you just a different much because just. because you didn't like them there are soldiers. are there you'll be surrounded me right now move boys come to the east do not go west. boys get back here. are we going away just go straight to the round of the ship. come. on this is yeah and. are we out of rocks. is everything quiet here.

you know not as. i did. i failed i thought i would just note it ok i must have mixed you up with someone

else for what organization are you from. somewhere checkpoint watch so you don't want any more checkpoints. with no but last checkpoint stance of us they're not enough and this stage we are against checkpoints and we're here so what about the checkpoints if. you could who are a checkpoint it costed 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 is a group does no matter here we have the entrance to the notary or it should be at the entrance on israel's border. so write a letter and notice checkpoints we have already done that. have a nice day we need people like you to keep camp. or tell him to get in line one by one closer to the wall.

that it didn't line up one by one. stick close to the wall. heard. a little. bit of it. i've been coming to kalandia for seven years so when it comes to ramadan it's important for me to know what's going on so all though it's not even my shift on i decided to come and have a go 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 but only a photocopy. it's crazy you know it's not only crazy it's very painful to think 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 i will not go to people of course you will be able to pray just go over there and they will check everything in the computer. and the computer you wouldn't want people to 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 author of this behave as if they did know and treat them as naughty people. not obeying the rules in a way ignoring the rules ramadan karim. kawar just

that's what they are. entitled. and in a moment you know they're looking at us now the whole world has been watching us all our lives. i you from jerusalem to the city yes i'm from jerusalem are you do you have a permit no ma i you know clay do you know she's forty five years old you cannot see. i have to do have a poet she says i don't need i went over and over and over the woman you know you're not an old woman that maybe she's forty five years old or something ok you're forty five years old and it had that you know life must have been hard for her but. we're not allowed to go and pray but nothing prevents us from praying . and did i mention something that. i heard moved next to the

wall for all of you. that why. was it what do you mean by this move one by one go back i was probably one of the top. five. was thought. was. i. was. was was. was

.

really you believe it's a sign. from around the world. we've got the future. stop
