a surprising to you that stirred up debate about the country's political future. on the standoff threatening to turn into an armed conflict on serbia's border with northern cause of both as nato is attempts to dismantle roadblocks near a disputed checkpoint leave several people injured. and a dire humanitarian situation in the perceived libyan town of sirte people are dying from a lack of vital supply lines amid ongoing fighting something experts say makes nato's mission to protect civilians questionable then. all right a my colleague is here in half an hour's time but for now an insight into why the ongoing middle east conflict now sees israelis turning against israelis you're watching. i think breaking the silence all about selling the story of the occupation. we're here to tell you how you conduct an occupation.
11:32 am
if the palestinians will be afraid of the idea because all the time is here they'll be afraid of us. so what do you do to get in this here and make your presence felt. i would say sixty to seventy percent of what i did as a combat soldier in the occupied territories was a good with deterrence with you know doing what we call making our presence felt. go out. should somebody be here and not concede or swim to the other corner invade another house.
11:33 am
just a little close 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 just charge you understand . this is the way to. to occupy civil society the civilians. not talking about. 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 lives hundred and fifty thousand palestinians and five hundred israeli settlers nowhere else is the hatred between palestinians and israelis more palpable than here the settlers have taken over central parts of hebron palace. the indians
11:34 am

the patriarch abraham is said to be buried in hebron the city is one of the holiest places in judaism. the closest one must realize that hebron historically has always been a jewish city given founded his kingdom here in hebron if you. want to put our forefathers of abraham isaac and jacob and their wives are all buried here in hebron peace so it has been a jewish place for thousands of years. was the was the. closeness the book will come into focus on the difference of what the this state is a jewish state going to list and we are here to stay in the people because four thousand years ago promised this land to the jewish family live what we have
11:36 am
a divine right to. slanty neither through war nor violence but as a gift from cause. you're a trader. may your name be forgotten was. that . a low there we are from jerusalem today. 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 take 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 there 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
11:37 am
problem. i can do it in a different way and do it in a different place israel is my home this is where i live. i just don't see for myself and. you know. again. you know this knowledge that well good luck of you hold a shoulder you are traitor. you are a terrorist jewish blood is on your hands. you should be ashamed of your criminal lives or. the ship which is. you look at this boy would you be happy if something happened to leave you murder. when i was a soldier and when i served in hebron we used to say cynically but that's a sign that we already did we understood that something is wrong in this reality we
11:38 am
used to say that and israel people shouldn't get the right to vote before they visit him. once you understand her once you confront her broom confronted with the most important question and that is would choose the land of israel or the state of israel whether it was important is equality the marker see rates or lend and the surface are afraid that people take the state of israel above the. hour of the. now you are with the europeans who also sponsor hamas of a. soldier family and i am on. the. unfortunately. throughout history religion and nationalism and not just judaism
11:39 am
have been a part of the problem they've been part of what leads to. bloodshed. and. countless from my point of view just a creation of god's name. the judaism that i grew up with. teaches me something different judaism has to be part of the 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 from what i learned from my rabbis and my teachers and my parents my family. you know there were times there are times when i won't maybe i'm the crazy one but then you go back to the source and you see what's there. and. now
11:40 am
it is true of course that if you look in the bible you cannot escape the fact that god. promises the entire land of israel including the west bank the occupied territories to the jewish people in perpetuity but that same difficulty ology makes very clear you see that in the bible and in the prophets and the torah self that how much of that land we were living at any given point in history will expand or contract agree to our moral behavior and so there may be a paradox here at the very acts that are necessary to continue the occupation of the wherry when's that make as morally unfit. to be there. as holy as the land of israel or us human life is more holy. so if you can prevent bloodshed by territorial compromise as painful as it is to give up part

11:42 am
i've been nothing but a bit of. comic con. the majority of the palestinian struggle is a civilian it's it's an insurrection. when a child throws a stone at a soldier and it's justified. when you wage a war against a civilian population with it are in it it's 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 that it's right or legitimate or or morrow to move to go up a bus with civilians but if you want to. bomb gaza and kill.
11:43 am
a thousand four hundred people in. in in a month and you want to expect that this will have no effect until the 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 into a situation i can tell you i do not support suicide. but i'm not in the position where i have luckily i'm not going to the station where i have to make a choice in my position i make my choice and it's just or it's the civilian it's reaction. of postings against israeli oppression violence different people 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
11:44 am
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 with 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. gradually if ever are outsiders allowed to know about sensitive political discussions within the family. my mother in.
11:45 am
law has their activities which i'm in favor of i mean i don't think that muslim which is a bad. urbanisation they're there to try and hold the road looks to be more humane just a tool. and as a political statement to oppose occupation it's has thrown our thanks. to the current always in blame then. you know because i was so close perceived by the palestinian people exactly like we perceive come out i was said let's say never would leave. and then 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 solved place a parent is going to be there without any human rights you know they can live there that's something but there they can be that hamas is
11:46 am
a country no rights no no get out of here there's a jihad against it. december two thousand and eight israel attacks the gaza strip one thousand four hundred palestinians and thirteen israelis are killed most of the casualties are see below us. breaking the silence has interviewed several israeli soldiers giving testimony about abuse and excessive use of force and i. think that testimony of one two three four five hundred eighty. one after the other this is not it's not. using palestinians on a daily basis looting destructor of truck of you know the story proper keep killing me whatever comes up in the testimonies. you can come from
11:47 am
a different world and then started describe the stories as were crimes as. i know one thing. 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 science is an israeli disease silence is a human sickness and there were not the you know when you are good you don't confront and there. oh oh we prefer to continue our life roots. supporters of this war you're killing children. shame on you shame on you.
11:48 am
nobody shouts nobody kreiss we refuse to be murderers here all traders 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 i. oppressing the population is a war crime and people are dying. traitors traitors. just yet roads. i. respect on the palestinian flag. i think you have to understand that.
11:49 am
this disownment of israel said it does exist that there are a 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 like ocracy because if you're jewish you have certain kind of credit rights and if you're not sure your are these these rights are much less and and if you're. a resident of a. ok territory. you're under a completely different legal system gun. i'm not a trial. right

11:53 am
the it's part of reality. you want to sit with him you know the anything that's understandable. but if you want to get out and i think. for wanting to live. you have to get out and do something about what you see and the world around you. are then here and now this is what we have. my concern is whether something is moral or. whether something fits within my my moral bearings or whether something is right or wrong. and i think we'll have a very important thing to understand for us.
11:54 am
