later is home to the world, 3 major religions, judaism islam, and christianity. these historic land then called palestine derived from the greek word for elisia, and the people who lived there as the philistines, dating back to the 12th century b. c. the now defunct league of nations gave the british the territorial control after world war one and the fall of the ottoman empire and $918.00. now, after some 20 plus years of british authority, a plan was devised to establish a jewish national homeland within palestine. thus carving up the land into a jewish state and an era stayed with both parties objecting to the other getting jerusalem. and that's just one crux of this multi pronged debate. the birth of israel in 1947. and since continued territorial expansion into gaza in the south

and the west bank along the jordan river, 2 major wars, 194-8900. 67 displaced hundreds of thousands of palestinian arabs. those who remained in the territorial homeland say, they live in an apartheid state. and here to weigh in is heard a morry, she's the co founder of the direct action network for palestine. she's joining us from the u. k. product is israel and apartheid state. i mean, would you compare it to south africa between 1948, and 991. so i would describe as all of her state practices out apartheid, apartheid the word apartheid season. afrikaans words which make means separateness . and to put it simply means a donation of one racial creep over another and to understand in the context of

palestine. and we have since i'm the formation of the apartheid state which began and $948.00. and what we called the maxima was translates into english as the great catastrophe. and this was when zionist militia boxed by western governments, boston make spelled more than half of the indigenous population of palestine. i could show it over 500 towns and villages. i'm fullest seniors into the corners of palestine which relates and occupied by desire and state in this post that they also killed many families and commit many atrocities against the indigenous population of palestine. and 967. my own family was forcibly removed from palestine. and what we see now is that the system of ethnic cleansing, forcing policies out this racial domination over them, continues to this day. if anything it gets worse as time goes on. so for

example, in the west bank, palestinians are constantly on the threats of losing their homes. and this is normally in order to make way for the efforts funding illegal is really showing settlements. and i'm out of this works. it basically means that any, any palestinian who is exiled from palestine, which is over 6000000 policy refugees, including millions in refugee camps, lebanon, or johnson, do not have the right to return to their homes. they don't have the right to attend to palestine. but any jewish person across the world has the right bye as well, to come and live in one of the settlements on top of the rubble of a policy and home. and often about this process. and policy is, may be given a 30 day notice by is whether it's holds that they have to demolish their own home with in this timeframe. or they have all pay the cost to the occupy that them keep

them all in the home. and if they don't do this, then they will use a procedure which often involves both those as which are bought by western companies like caterpillar and j. c. b, in a weaponized news to demolish and policy and communities. and this is interesting, please holmes, it's schools and they as soon as types, water pipes, basic infrastructure propulsion has to be able to live on top of this. high listing is live on a different set of laws than here's the railways. so this policy in the civilian law, valium, operate, sorry, polishing his name on the military law where they live on a, on the civilian law. i want this news and practice is that policy in the office detained without charge, which is a horrific practice which is committed against them. but when they do go to call

that facing the israeli military courts which are over 99 percent conviction. right . what are living conditions like in israeli occupied regions such as the bid do enclave communities near northwest jerusalem, where israeli authorities have basically cordoned off the area with a wall that some of likened to the berlin wall. now israel has basically separated this little area from the rest of jerusalem and the west bank, i understand palestinians have to commute through a tunnel controlled by israel. can you describe these conditions for us that these communities live in? yeah, definitely. so often polishing communities, and i mean literally they all would use terrible whenever these homes are demolished and the fact that they cannot rebels often me as you know, there's a stark contrast between where you may see in a jewish very neighborhood to a policy community neighborhood because i deny the basic ability to be able to

build. busy build and develop and this includes the sewage system, which means that you know, for palestinians, they are not able to adequately survival built into shades because best sewage systems are often destroyed. and the water pipe systems often destroy. well, on top of this, what you see is a resilient by palestinians by they are using water tanks to collect rate for water to try and build that self sufficiency away from relying on on the occupy. but also for palestinians living wonder occupation. they are subject to checkpoints on a daily basis if they want to get from a to bay, they have to go through checkpoints, israeli soldiers or bass. i'm afraid people are harassed on the checkpoints and sometimes killed on the checkpoints or forced to wait for hours on end just to

sometimes. busy get to get to the shop or get to school or get to your place of what i so it's this constant humiliation upon the palestinians. i'm even women and have been forced to get the bus on the checkpoints because the soldiers would refuse to allow them to go through to go to the hospitals. on the other side of those of those tech pines, palestinian territories are among the poorest in the world. 80 percent of the population relies on foreign aid to survive. according to the world bank, the nominal g. d. p of palestinian areas are about $4000000.00 us dollars. while in rails nominal g d p. r. an astounding 100. $61000000.00 us dollars. what are the main drivers of this economic disparity? the main drivers of this is that they can design and state carries out not only a policy of trying to keep palestinians captive in the lines,

but also by keeping that economy and completely captive whether that's a deliberate later mala xing infrastructure. that policy is need to bills that industries and destroying often, businesses, schools, hospitals are the things that people need and it's bells and economy. these are deliberately trust by the zionist stay and but on top of this, the policy and economy and for electricity and water is on makes it so that they are relying on the occupy to be able to gain access to electricity and water. so they have to pay the costs to that occupier, to that quote un, either in a it's again, these basic services which are offered much lower quality than what he's rated would enjoy. i'm the same as for the telecommunications industry, for example, where policy and service providers are just basically redistributing and that

from the daily sense providers. so policy is end up in a situation where they're paying that double the price for a much lower quality. and we know, for example and gaza that they are used to about 4 hours of electricity a day. but on top of this receive examples of things when published in use are attempting to build self sufficiency and build their own economy about having to rely on the occupy and any attempts to do this are trusts. for example, solar panels that are built that will be destroyed by israeli soldiers, but also donations from european countries is on belgium. i believe when they deliver to solar panels to try and help policy and be self sufficient rather than deny them access, they're completely destroy them. to ensure that they could not and that they were had to be relying on and on design as they may do this deliberately in order to

control the palestinians and be able to carry out the system of time to drive them out of their homes and keep the jewish bailey as the dominant and i said, domino, race and historic palestine. but i think why he's one of these big the most disturbing examples of this as we see gaza. and we'll see that god has been kind of brutal, blockades lives and c blockades over 15 years that denied that been denied. and that feed me, most people cannot leave. i cannot answer only on very revocation, and it's the same goes for basic guts. so i'm on top of this tough being one of the most densely populated areas where 80 percent of refugees and the majority of children. they are routinely bombarded and assaulted by is out i they often and these attacks they've destroyed hospitals,

clinics and ambulances. the only functional power plants in gaza businesses, homes and schools on many occasions as well as every time this happens. not only are they destroying the ability for policies to have an economy and develop their own appointments, the also disjoint people's lives and take you live. on top of this, companies like albert systems is a largest dance that use these opportunities as a way of testing batten's. and they literally market them is bottled tested by proven, and this gives them an advantage in the globe of landscape. and it means that they can sell on these drones weapons missiles and times they use against the palestinians to other countries, so they can develop that own economy and that arm straight on the back of destroying palestine. hota, maury, thank you so much for your time today. then coming up next, we'll take

a look at the current political situation in the disputed and occupied territories across israel and palestine. critic say the palestinian authority share in the blame. we'll discuss it when we return. said type the ammo will be right back. i ah ah, with

no go, you have to be on a glass . no, we do a lot. yeah, because that was good enough. i just wonder, was it a love to let you know this problem? record what sandwich of yours work for that you will do a b, r a z o. when i was a, becomes the aptitude and endangerment equals the trail. when so

many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations, to disarm iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from great pain. who's with we will bring to the iraqi people, food and medicines, and supplies, and freedom with

noon in units of counter russians, state total narrative, as time goes on in the north landscape div, asking him not getting host also send up a group in 50 battle disability on i need to bargain speeding home with we will ban in the european union. the kremlin. yup. machines the state on russia today and switch r t sport neck, given our video agency roughly all band on you to a quick question. did you think it was with me?

ah, these days in the us be accepted conflation of anti semitism and anti zionism movements like b b s which is boycott divest and sanction. the power of the purse here in the states being labeled as racist and anti semitic, or even anti jewish state governments. banning such practices in an apparent move to restrict choice by the public. now after a multitude of failed external government interventions between israel and palestine. can any ally shift the tide? here to discuss is adam shapiro. he is the director of advocacy for dawn, which stands for democracy for the arab world. now he has expertise in israel and palestine. adam 1st to give the viewers

a little bit of background as to who you are. is that fair to describe you as a jewish american, native new yorker, activist for peace between israel and palestine. and even having lived in the west bank for some time to some extent, i don't know if i would just for myself as a jewish american, i was before it would do a family. but i don't, i don't consider myself to be jewish in the sense of the city or nationality or any sort of identity. and i do consider my. ready brooklyn boots one for somebody. and then finally just i, i think my activism in my work is not so much about piece as much as justice. and i do believe the only way to, to get justice. i think it's an important distinction to make that being anti zionist or anti israeli government is different right than being anti

semitic. i mean, is that fair and how might you expand on that distinction? the issue of interest in today has been somewhat weaponized to target activists. peace, people seeking peace and basically all palestinians. ready who challenge. ready legitimacy of occupation with gentlemen. genesee are currently exists. ready operates in what many corneo colonial state as well as i see and all of those. ready things that i've described are all. ready violations of international law. ready or human rights law and have nothing to do with you know, an ideology of zionist ideology. if design decide the elegy was distinct, it was distinct from the nation building settlement. the whole process of the state

of israel zionism is effectively the political ideology of the state of israel with whatever israel does with there may have been a time in the past where there was a distinction for those who are more interested in the settler moving versus those who are more interested in different kinds of movement and there was a debate within dynamism as to what would be the future of them. but today we have defacto dynasty. ready ready that is effectively. ready and manifestly expanding apartheid control and. ready overpower. ready today to be effectively to be anti occupations. the anti apartheid in city is really government is today the entity that is carrying that out against any ins. the fact. ready if you are anti zionist, you're lining yourself up against what. ready ready is doing it's about the. ready central existence of israeli politician or another is really publishing it's about

policy when it comes fancy. ready summative, however, this is a very real tangible form of racism that is directed not just against use but against anyone who are from or submit it. and. ready that is the root of leg. ready now it's coming to mean discrimination against juice because of its use of deployment in the west, and in particular by those who are supportive of israeli policies. so the distinction between what is the, who is doing a deploying. ready we're complaining about if it's in the semitism the most who are complaining or organizing against anti israel or activism. those. ready people are trying to eliminate the distinction between. ready ready them or anti. ready government. ready as well as some of those of us who are trying to stand up for us anyways often find us off in. ready have to also articulate having to.

ringback also articulating and phone ready with those were the victims of. ready including jews around the worlds who suffer. so for instance. ready i call when. ready the tree of life synagogue pittsburgh was attacked in what was indeed very clearly an attack by right wing immigrants minded person here. and i said many people from the us and, you know, our america is organized to help support because they saw this as an act of racism regardless of a label you and inactive. ready discrimination had nothing to do with israel. ready is always doing. ready well what israel is doing is practicing a form of discrimination and violence. ready racism against another, another people by the way, for submitted. so it's, it's almost. ready service this year, there was outraged over the deliberate killing of a renowned palestinian, an american journalist. sharina clay by the idea of the state department has

effectively accepted this as a fact. it's true after a very vague and tacit admission by israeli authorities. however, despite her holding a us passport, the state department has stopped short of issuing any sort of rebuke or punishment . why do you think that is? well, let's, let's make was being clear to start with what the demand has been from assembly and still is. ready as well as an increasing number of american congress. people senators is the demand that the united states government. ready the state farm. ready or the white house authorize an f b i investigation. so even before we get to the. ready point of review in condemnation families phil. ready insisting that there be an investigation which if you think about it, there's already been a number of investigations by very credible sources, including media outlets and washers. ready most times united nations like mission

for human rights in office. there islam has conduct investigation and submitted similar findings, israeli organizations that sell them and now most recently forensic architecture of all basically come to the same. and yet, despite all of that, despite all of the investigation that has been gone, gone on already, evidence collected the family still asking for an american investigation. so i think for the f b i to go into one and they're not saying go and find this person guilty or go and find that person guilty there. go there saying please go find out what happened to our sister to our cause into our daughter. ready this family member, and this is what post the needs are calling for also in an investigation. and this is what is it perhaps the motion of the united states has gotten to the point where it. ready is offering the demand offer view and us. ready off this is. ready off

simply going and sending a seem to look and see what happens. that's in some ways even more down and chosen level. i would say cowardice. even if we imagine the best case scenario from a justice standpoint. if we were to imagine the f b, i wouldn't conduct. ready investigation determine that as the others have determined that she was deliberately targeted that. ready there is a soldier who is responsible for that perhaps their. ready commander ordered the shots fired, that's possible. so let's say in the quote unquote best case scenario to. ready soldiers where. ready the sniper and his command. ready were arrested raso according as well, or perhaps even extradited united states and put on trial. do we really think that that would change or alter the overall policy. ready conditions of dollars. ready that would be flowing to. ready is absolutely not,

i can't believe that use the same congress people who vote every years, year after year, year to maintain this relationship because to send the american taxpayer money overseas in this way. ready all of a sudden abandoned that over time of one person as much as i'd like to think. so from a justice standpoint, the rhea, i think this is what makes it even more all the more creative. ready that the killing of even one person. ready making their accountability for that is so dangerous. ready and risky, the united states, it makes this country absolutely. it shows where the real power is. it's not sitting in washington. ready it's sitting on top of the adam shapiro. appreciate your time with us today. thank you. this disputed land now called israel is not only desired territory, fought over by israelis or palestinians. this swath of land as far over by external powers in the west and the east,

the west proving to be the kingmaker in the region. that's going to do it for me. i'm manilla chan. thank you for being with us as we explore the ammo. ah, ah ah, with the discovery of the new world, at the end of the 15th century, there appeared at atlantic slave dre. the slave traders from european countries started building forts on the western coast of the african continent to transport the african inhabitants to america, to be forced into hard labor. until the middle of the 17th century. portugal had

played the main role in this atrocious business. then great britain, france and the netherlands took the leadership for the span of 400 years of legal and illegal slave trade. about 17000000 people were forcefully shipped across the atlantic. not including those who died on the way do do unbearable living conditions. modern historians estimate that for each slave ship to america, there were 5 who died while captured during transportation and cruel obliteration of rebellion. this ruthless people tre practiced by the leading european countries, took away gens of millions of african lives. the organisation of united nations classified the trans atlantic slave trade as one of that gravest human rights abuses in the history of humanity. this is the biggest act of deportation of

people ever seen by mankind. hm. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even from taishan, let it be in arms. race is on a very dramatic development, only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. to sit down and talk with you when the deal is to get a place of to the with almost done with a, with

a condition to middle school. you know, i'm going to my 2 children version. no, i'm going to push it up with a now are due to a just as in lion with the course of his days, which took a block that is it a voicemail, but i am unable to come by yet?

exclusions i say yes. name, way at the suggest is up with the long the range of the weapons being procured by the key regime means we will have to push them further away from the territories that are part of our country. russia, foreign minister says that moscow has all it needs to complete it. military operation is pushing to secure its own territory from ukrainian shelling around accusers, israel of a drone attack on a military facility near the central city of the han. the country pledges to respond to claiming that israel's actions violates international law human rights watch because the key of has failed to investigate its military.
