9:07 pm
who worked in the building. now of course our picture cut now we will we will not be able to deliver a picture to the world it's very difficult for me to see the semaj it's very hard for many years in working in this place covering the news covering the walls the attacks in gaza now there's no picture from it is there of a son in law something you know i feel very bad. i want to say that we will truly continue to deliver another message that will continue to cover the news in gaza i do we continue to tell these the message of the palestinian people and to deliver to the all over the world ok this is this you would you want be able to stop our voice why attack your building and this won't be easy no we'll continue this would be all these this if the if that jericho were busy don't destroy it we will continue from anywhere from gaza all the offices of journalists of gaza it whether it will be our office. armed groups in gaza have continually fired waves of
9:08 pm
rockets at israel the southern city of ashkelon is one of the recent targets of palestinian militants a synagogue was damaged and universe cars destroyed no casualties were reported there and on saturday a round of rockets was fired at a television suburb claiming the life of a 55 year old man according to reports he was unable to make it. to a bomb shelter in time the israeli military says more than 2000 rockets have been fired from gaza into israel since monday about half of which were intercepted by missile defense systems. throughout the week israel has been amassing troops along the gazan border having called up thousands of reservists raising the specter of a ground invasion of the hamas ruled gaza strip israeli troops though have not as yet entered the enclave but artillery and tanks joined the air units in firing into gaza speaking to r.t. some hours ago former israeli defense minister nuff tali bennett says israel was
9:09 pm
attacked 1st and has every right to defend itself let me show you something this rocket over here landed this morning in a home next to the bed of a 9 year old child this real thing landed what is proportional if this landed at your own family's home and killed your own family what is proportional not one israeli should die because of unprovoked attacks that proportional if they want to stop this they can stop and disarm themselves stop fighting israel and they'll be peace period. no civilian death is except a bull and that's why. the fact that hamas uses civilians as human shields it means that it is murdering its own people by hiding cowardly
9:10 pm
behind this civilians by hiding its command centers within buildings 'd that belong . you know hospitals or schools this is a cynical way of operating and they hold direct responsibility to all the deaths the days that sit back and allow murderers terror groups shoot and kill jews those days are over and if numbers seem slanted all it means is that israel cares more about its own people than hamas about killing all people are planning to take down. any operator commander and command center because last monday unprovoked started shooting rockets and israel they decided when this round would start israel will decide when it ends. the conflict has also sparked tensions between israeli arabs
9:11 pm
and jews who have lived side by side for years. in east jerusalem pro palestinian demonstrators clashed with police water cannons were deployed against the crowds while police were moved in city areas balloons which had been put up in the colors of the palestinian flag the current escalation between israel and gaza was sparked over the possible addiction of palestinian families from contested land on the outskirts of the city. or the palestinian city of hebron in the west bank also saw unrest spill onto the streets this week tires were burned in the roads as protesters clashed with israeli soldiers there has been violence in other nearby areas as well. q.
9:12 pm
e 2. leaked. and the violence has flared within israel as well on thursday some disturbing images emerged from an area on the outskirts of tel aviv an arab driver was assaulted by a mob there he was seen being beaten after reportedly having been pulled from his vehicle some eyewitness reports state that he was attempting to ram a group in his car which is also here such as this report. on its way to town of young which is just to the south of jaffa and outside tel aviv jewish youngsters have got its. and they are smashing cars that presumably they think belong to arabs
9:13 pm
there's also an arab owned ice cream shop down the road and the glass has all been destroyed b i and fittings in front of the building they've come here with israeli flags to show their support and this is imitation to the finance we've witnessed in the last few days which has been predominantly arab on jewish silence so the so the police are firing stun grenades and trying. to police firing stun grenades and they trying to get people to run away from here at and. you can see the security officers coming down the road and they are trying to push the crowd further and further away from here and a lot of the youngsters have moved down the road over the they have finally come in to try and deal with the situation and bring order and calm back to back to yum.
9:14 pm
yes that an interim move is redundant you know people driver wanted to drive into us pressed the pedal to the metal and wanted to kill us luckily he couldn't do it because another car stopped him because otherwise he would have killed us this is our country and they come to kill us in our own country arabs who live here want to kill us so no small children died in the streets because of the arabs now we've come here and the army and police are against us you showed so there. we can't continue like this is not good with the jews are doing is not good for the arabs the doing the government isn't doing anything so this is what's happening each side is doing what they want for 70 years we've been a good neighbor and it's a big bt that is happening now now we have to make sure that things remain good between us through this con here was being driven by an arab men they took him out of the car and in an attempted lynch that's. and he has been taken to hospital in
9:15 pm
the same happened over here but i think i may have the same happened with this car down the road here and not to attempt to diminish as tensions high they've been also shouting at the journalists and shaking which channels we all belong to so we're going to make our way out of here it's not the safest place to be. ati. major european cities witnessed a violent protests in protest with thousands calling on israel to stop attacking gaza demonstrators burned flags and threw stones and bottles at police who responded with tear gas and water cannons a number of arrests were made there as well. that was. was the rug.
9:16 pm
was. also in israel to worshippers have died and more than $160.00 injured after receiving stand collapsed at a synagogue in a jewish settlement in the israeli occupied west bank here is policy here again with more. i'm here in the israeli settlement of give act as if in the west bank a short time ago at the start of the jewish festival of shavuot one of the stands in the local synagogue known as carly collapsed at least that's the information we have at the moment as you can see the emergency personnel have arrived the israeli army is here there are police here and the latest figures we're receiving other 2 people have been killed and some people are between serious and critical and something that 132 people if not more have been taken by ambulance to various hospitals now this is a holy day on the jewish calendar so normally we would not be allowed into
9:17 pm
a neighborhood like this normally we would not be allowed to film certainly not on the day that's like the sabbath as you can see people from the whole community have come out and are hanging around trying to figure out what happened and what went wrong now we understand that investigation has been opened the various people here are blaming each other so we have heard from council leaders here and they say that the fault was actually with the organizers of this event the ultra-orthodox because they were told that the synagogue which is a new synagogue had just recently been built and was not in adequate condition to be used but then we're hearing from the police that they have also given the same order and we're hearing from emergency personnel that at this moment it's not quite clear who is right and who is wrong with this incident comes just weeks of it after a very similar incident that happened in the north of the country in the wrong in that particular incident 45 people were killed also from the ultra orthodox
9:18 pm
community and and similar circumstances now the information we have is that people were praying or searching or dancing on one of the stands when suddenly the stand collapsed and as people fell onto people below them that caused the chaos that ensued were all the police we got to call you know this person to. the guys said it was a corrosion a synagogue and most of the people who were injured. we started with a good 30 goes to. the 3 hospitals. at the. iran 165 people who were injured. and unfortunately 2 boarders were staying in the suv we've now entered the synagogue which is known as the carbon synagogue as you can see the chairs have all been kind of pushed away in disarray in this incident happened during the synagogue service and the stand that
9:19 pm
collapsed is just in front of us what we understand now is that this is a synagogue that was built by the community and they didn't have the right commission to build it so the police were not involved the usual regulations that are printed placed by the authorities none of that was implemented and that's probably why they kicked us waiting for an hour before they're actually getting us into the synagogue if we can go a little bit closer here you can see through this gap as to what actually happened you can see we've each stand collapsed so what's been left behind is a complete disarray of chairs and tables and and black cats that people head and the stand over there the one at the top has completely disintegrated so the people who died would have been sitting at the top that stand policia r t give outs is. using viral videos to smear the black lives
9:20 pm
matter movement that is the accusation leveled by the intercept news website against 8 journalists that it has dubbed the riot squad. even as they remain relatively unknown the stipe new group has spread just many of the most viral videos of black last months of protests over the past year and those images have helped great the pole some prussian relentlessly driven home by folks knew some republican politicians that the nation white waif of protests that erupted up to draw explored was killed was nothing but an excuse for mindless rising. now these so-called riot squad reported from the heart of the protests that broke out in the wake of the killing of george floyd by minneapolis police officer one year ago the intercept has accused them of distorting the quote overwhelmingly peaceful protests to push their own conservative agenda journalists have denied this. now among the examples the intercept gives is a clip posted by
9:21 pm
a larger schafer in which a white man is brutally beaten by a group of predominantly black protesters the outlet accuses the reporter of purposefully editing out the part where the victim threatened protesters with a machete schafer said that the man was defending his shop the intercept also accuses journalist kellen del amiga of hiding the fact beaten and bloody older trump supporter had started the scuffle by antagonizing protesters of the interception co-founder glenn greenwald who left the publication last year praised the courage of the journalists. he's angry that people they call you in a hurry hey have the courage to actually go on the ground and do risky journalism something that most people at the intercept and other digital outlets like at millennia old would never do.
9:22 pm
let's cross live right now to one of the quote unquote riot squad members investigative journalist drew hernandez 1st of all thanks for being with us here on arch international thank you know mr hernandez what is your response to the article in the intercept i think it's fraudulent i think it's a smear piece they didn't get anything right i could speak on behalf of myself and the smears and the swipes they took at me and that a specific article and was a 25 minute so-called many documentary everything about me in that specific little mini documentary an article was absolutely wrong and they should have reached out to me for comment so they could have got it right so they call themselves a journalist but they don't even ask me any questions about what i documented or what i covered and they just put out a story that doesn't even out out which i'm going to push back just a little bit here there are the accusations though completely baseless i mean if
9:23 pm
you look at the context of some of the videos when you watch it in full they do appear to show more context when it comes to the footage well go ahead nancy. yeah like i said i'll speak on behalf of what they said about me because the other journalists are not here to speak for themselves but in regards to me and what they said about me was that the video that i captured in a black lives matter militants that was calling for the death of police officers families and the burning down of their houses was somehow a bad thing because i recorded it and they claimed and said oh what was left out by your hernandez was the context was that she was being roughed around by police officers when they left out and what they should have asked me was why that even happened and why the police officers were getting a little bit rough that night the reason why is because the rioters were literally attempting to burn down the federal courthouse just moments before that video took place if you look at the vast majority of b.l.m. protests they were peaceful 93 percent according to an a.c.l.u.
9:24 pm
report last year are you not worried that your report or your videos could lead viewers to believe that they were more violent than they actually were and actually undermine the movement itself you know how much money did in damages did they cause last year what's that figure what's the number you have that on hand actually i don't. it's over $2000000000.00 ok so they claim that it's this minority in the country that is really doing a little bit of damage they're really just landing in the entire movement when in reality that over 2000000000 dollars in insurance damage in the united states of america that is widespread and not only about just you know white owned business is that they claim to be fighting against those are minority owned businesses those are also black owned businesses because this movement black wise matter is a self-proclaimed marxist organization that is hiding behind the color of their skin and they want to dismantle the united states of america that's all you hear at these protests even when they're not committing mass violence that is literally
9:25 pm
what they are preaching. which you personally a little bit are you concerned that the interceptor has painted a target on your back for a far left activist by naming you publicly. no i'm not concerned and the reason why is because it's been happening i get death threats all the time from black lives matter and m.t.v. it comes with the territory and it's not because i'm slandering people it's not because i'm selectively editing the videos the videos speak for themselves literally you can just watch them they're not selectively edited i can speak for myself but honestly i'm not going to sit here and tell you that my life is on the line now because i'm getting docs it's been happening it just further proves that that's how black lies matter and operates the docs and journalists and it's not just rightwing journalists they do the same thing to left wingers as well and want to know why because it's not about left or right with these people there is no neutral ground the black lies matter and if you are against them then you're against them it's either you're with us or you're against us this is not a left or right issue these people attack you on the ground rather your leftist or
9:26 pm
whether right when you and i think we saw that in minneapolis after the shooting of dante right when c.n.n. journalists were literally on the ground getting attacked by a black lives matter militants having things thrown in their heads so this is not a right wing think these people attack anybody that they disagree with or right it's interesting to hear your thoughts drew hernando's investigative journalist thanks for being with us here on arch international so we can hear your side thank you. all right that does it for this hour we will be back with more news after a short to. join me every. song with and i'll be speaking to the world of politics. i'm show business.
