in one thousand six to seven israel conquered the west bank. and arab east jerusalem. as 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. grazing the silence is a group of ex israeli soldiers 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 breaking his silence because you have to understand that what's going on and you actually pay territories is like one of the biggest taboos and it's really

. people just don't talk about it you don't come back home and see a money these are two hours things we feel 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. sectors there's this secret agreements between society and in the military. we know there's going on there but please don't bring it up and 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 as soldiers 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 small stories that

make the big problem can make the big picture try to talk about what does it mean occupation how does a local t.v. 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 straightest soldiers control and hinder a list in the biggest checkpoints located between ramallah and east jerusalem on occupied land. the checkpoint is called.

group of israeli women and their eyes that nobody knows what's going on so we decided to create a group that's going to the checkpoints and observe and the reports that's why the observing eye is part of our lawful even our. bad says that the outpost 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 volatile parties play anybody and for the palestinians to know that there are people actively opposing the occupation . with the audience of a small dialysis she needs to alice's three times a week do you understand why it's three times a week there is nothing to do if the boy is sick of it has got to shahrazad at

hospital it's every time the same problem with getting a child to hospital it's counts go on like this. why 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 really mission earlier you're only remarkable this was. the case 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 has something like four thousand people it was built for lifting 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 a while. 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 walk around with a triploid a parish millions who have only two goals to either go through to work or to go through the hospitals the dog. the bulk of pray. to 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 sealed. the deal.

in addition to checkpoints some obstacles israel has built so-called settlements in the west bank and east jerusalem according to the un will draw today more than half a million israelis living on occupied land the settlements are all be legal according to the national mall. palestinian farmers complex us less and less of the lambs as the settlements expand frequently there is violence when soldiers are sutlers stop the farmers from cultivating their land. rabbi american 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 down. here everything here is

a closed military zone where here there how many meters from here everywhere the table and even if. 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. 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 health and. eric asher months into potations of the bible is rare in israel. the palestinian olive trees are standing on the biblical land and on the political hills this land is god slams promised to the jewish people according to the south lives. yesterday they came when i got back

here at four pm so they came and stole the letter i stole the black covers like those. they stole the. they still cutters and knives in the all of us over there 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 still covers and tools and did this with the all of us. so when you came back everything was gone. yes there was thieves out on the island. for several years rabbi eric sherman was just protecting the palestinian farmers

when they were being harassed or attacked by religious jewish settlers. posted. those in its roof. that's what you're doing if you mean the finger it was lifting his hands to fight. them said oh yeah oh yeah i forgot the rest of now for the rest of my life. i think i'm an arab giving the finger to a jew should have his hand cuffs oh 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 human shields. is equated 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

doing with this was to be doing. the settlers are protected by israeli soldiers and the soldiers themselves are sometimes sutlers. there's a set of your image you did you walk in comes down and when anyone tries to work or he tries to stop them but this time barely said the army. 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. i would also like to see just talking out of his mission they came up 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 court nation office. simply this attempt to. slowly slowly take over another doom here another doom here from their point of view this is redefining the land of israel and will 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 queues of the palestinians the army wants control they want to go anywhere without a permit and i can't you have to make a choice is the best way to hold on to your land and we back you whatever you do.

and i will do it he is treated. ok. you didn't. really have a good laugh right but i looked at them and i. played knowledge this was his land and they always said we don't want you to work here today though because if they get someone to come and shoot you. there's a good chance that we will when you're here maybe to be easier to finish if there's no intention here in another day as it was. in the west bank israel 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. 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 block the wall of the united trying to stop yappy church and i could listen to more from with any at the conference the wall right now there's about three about four or five kilometers into the way the bank i'll try to fish out of interesting rhythm as border international court of justice in the hague has moved that dispatch to fish the construction of fish barrier to the ego but it will continue continue doing it right now in a village called nailing twenty five hundred dunam about to be confiscated from the village. tell us how would this one. the top story short.

of. the. i. know that not jonathan polak has participated and direct action some demonstrations for many years several times a week. just so he has been arrested and physically injured by israeli soldiers i i i i. was such a dog was it wasn't it

was for the subtle we are right about the but 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 to keep putting a kid here to commit a violation over it if you here is complete keep talking if you keep the feeling and i. was i was just never be gone if you just want to say to goods a few steps and the stampeders never delish the army me at steve demonstrations to disrupt regie i think it was a military uprighting with imagery. and if issued to people are going to get killed

here. i. think that if. the 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 it's killed. they believe they make you do you see israel you know what's happening here you can keep coming and it's being done in in our name if you carry with them we agree with it or not i'm a moral obligation is to come here and chant we the people it's enough to state if

you oppose something your government is doing when such crimes are being committed i take people and i think it's our duty to come here and give you just it just looks like we are the good just. because you didn't want to have them there are soldiers over there you'll be surrounded not just move boys come to the east do not go west. always get back here. are we going away just go straight or round of sanctions. come. to suggest. that. our way out of rocks. is everything quiet here.

no. i think. that they are not a felony just sean though ok i must have mixed up with someone else. what organization are you from. checkpoint watch so you don't want any more checkpoints . you know but less checkpoints themselves as they're not i look

at this stage we are against checkpoints and we're here so what about the checkpoints if. you could who are checkpoints 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 there's a group does no matter where we have the entrance to notre it should be at the entrance on israel's border and so write a letter no the 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 it was a little out. of.

it. that it didn't line up one by one. stick close to the wall. and. 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 although it's not even my shift done i decided to come and have a look the problem is that when you meet the individual people with 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 course we'll be able to pray just go over there and they will check everything in the computer. and the computer. 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 treat them as naughty people. not obeying the rules ignoring the rules and i'm of them carrying. them. how i just that's what we are. learning and. they're looking at us now the whole world has been watching us so low lifes. i you from jerusalem to the city yes i'm from jerusalem

how do you have a permit know my secret i you know claim to you know she's twenty five years old you cannot see this but. i have to do you have posted is that i don't need i went over and over and over the woman you know you're not an old woman. maybe she's forty five years old out of something beyond ok you're forty five years old don't it don't matter you know life must have been hard for her. we're not allowed to go and pray but nothing prevents us from praying. really did i get you some sort of like i had moved next to the wall all of you are that why. do you mean by this case one by one go back i was probably one of the top.

security. was such. was. the. was i was. was was. was .
