of the organization. i'm also deeply concerned by..." escalating tensions in the occupied west bank including east jerusalem, intensified armed exchanges between palestinians and israeli security forces predominantly in the context of israeli operations have led to exceedingly high levels of fatalities and arrests. i reiterate that security forces must exercise maximum restraints and use little force only when it's strictly unavoidable to protect life. i am appled by the numerous instance. of officials, glorifying violence, encouraging the killing of civilians. such rhetoric is abhorent and must be clearly rejected by leaders on all sides. leaders have an obligation to clearly and explicitly condemn acts of terror and violence directed against civilians. time to bring in now life coach and media personality fahema mohammed and she's chosen three stories for this segment. on how the war in gaza is being covered on the air waves online and so on. fahema, always good to see you. we are going to start with, well, they call him the general son, because his father was such influential figure in designist movement

of retaliation, right? rather than taking the whole picture into perspective, the is really troops have killed $400.00 palestinian civilians in the west bank including east jerusalem since the beginning of the genocide in gaza. the what happened of retaliation is the west bank in, in which the jews on the spot is doing that operation, minute through operation and also why not consider it as part of the ongoing of the is ready why lives and work runs in the west coast because my point is, is that it was happening during a it was happening during a truth period. yeah. but it was continue, it's murderous. free in the west bank during the tools and gods they. they were continuing radio. but i'm talking about what happens. i'm talking to what happened in jerusalem was just down to that point. why, what from us do that at such a crucial point for the people of joseph a book i explained to you, but for some odd reason you insist on adopting is really record is real. i'm not, i don't think it's really read treatment. you're talking about a genocidal attack because you ask a question and you don't wait for the answer and would never get your answering a different question.

both threatened and confident israel occupied the rest of historic palestine after that, including the gaza strip and the west bank and east jerusalem. and some of the things we see now happened as a result of that moment, really. and they brought in more jewish settlers who moved in most were foreigners . but they were immediately afforded all the rights and privileges of his riley citizens while palestinians argued that they were forced to live under military occupation. in the 19 eighties and the 90s, out of palestinian anger was born. the intifada, the intifada, which an air of means uprising and boy was it as they brought about mass, protests, riots rocked, rolling strikes, regional boycotts. and it also led to the eventual formation of hamas. ah, yes, that's how we got to come us. this para military group responsible for the recent surprise attack on israel, the intifada years bloody as they were got the world's attention led to the oslo accords. the establishment of the palestinian authority granted palestinian self rule in the west bank and gaza, but a 951995 is real started building electric fences. concrete walls splitting

they have got a stakeholder in the palestinian authority, the governing body of the west bank and east jerusalemverning body outside of gaza. let's remember that hamas runs gaza. and i spoke to the palestinian prime minister here about this idea that israel wants to destroy hamas before any ceasefire and any possibility of a sort of day after conversation. he specifically told me that destroying hamas was absolutely off the agenda as far as the palestinian authority is concerned, and he went on to talk about, though, how hamas might be involved in the palestinian authority running gaza going forward, albeit as a junior party and albeit if they signed up to a sort of plo platform. this is what he told me. >> i think it's very important that we should all realize that hamas is an integral part of the palestinian political mosaic. and, therefore, for israel to claim that they are going to eradicate, eliminate hamas, i think this is totally -- first of all, it's not going to happen and it's not acceptable to us. >> reporter: when he says it's not going to happen, he is speaking to the sort of, you k

this has come from palestinian groups and you see it already imports of the occupied west bank and parts of occupied east jerusalemer countries in the middle east as well where we see that some of the day today activities have stopped, we see that shops are closed, schools are closed in some areas as well. you might also remember yesterday the world health organization was holding a special session on the medical situation in gaza and they have adopted a resolution after that calling for an increase in humanitarian aid for gaza. the head of the who has said that the war is having a catastrophic impact on healthcare, particularly for civilians inside gaza. i spoke a little earlier to neri zilber, an adjunct fellow at the washington institute for near east policy, and we talked in particular about those suggestions that hamas is starting to degrade both in terms of their system and their leadership. well, obviously it has had a major impact, weeks of air strikes and also now four divisions of the israeli army operating inside the gaza strip so undoubtedly it has had a major impact but reports and even comments by ce

so guys of the west bank, east jerusalem. does that make up the thing for the lack of support we've seen from some european capitals for the palestinian people? yes, this concern the precise of the depth. let me tell you that in europe, under your pin uh, you can count as you continue, as they are above defended the policy now, sneed county, that is a common sense and so 2 year and on disappear some persons that claim that todd the same person that completely ignored the non violent demonstrations products for eclipse, that will cure already named 1987. but the one in my lean be leading into 20082009 . i have seen with my eyes for several years that there were a peaceful demonstration and many other students were killed. are the same person that ignore the we can post a song difficult. i agree, marshall for turn in march 2018 where completely peaceful protest. uh, and despite this is right, it's not was killed 270 bought as the most weight of so these 4 saying that in europe a very often the res, uh on the one end, complete th

of palestinians have been killed by is ready for us. is that and by settlers on the bean homes destroyed both in the west bank and unoccupied east jerusalem. what's, what's your view of the situation there right now where your social, if the west bank situation is overshadowed by gaza, the westbank is voiding. so we're just kind of a state of war taking place. so the number of people who will have the know killed the he's also staggering compared to the previous year. it's a record young effect number of people of having been killed, the noble thing tossing on. so in the various cities i'm come on, most of the day the we see also the dean cushion the the is ready in carson into comes for security operation becoming more and more a brute to because we see that the public infrastructure during secret. the operation also discharge a deal that the what's voice me also is that the westbank is also on the edge of a tool to the economic cut up. so we are a head of a perfect, perfect storm over the is that being quite a few stories that on right has, has had to say, i'm not the true reports of anti semitic school books, of unreal facilities being

of its soldiers have been killed in gaza. israeli regime forces are carrying out more raids across the occupied west bank as well. nearly 500 palestinians have been killed in the occupied west bank and east jerusalem since the start of this year. meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis is worsening by the day, hundreds of people lining up near the border with egypt, in the south of gaza, waiting for food from charities, israeli attacks and forest relocation orders. have displaced more than 80% of the population from their homes. the us defense secretary, meantime, has been visiting qatar and bahrain after talks in tel aviv, announcing naval force to protect cargo ships against yemen's hoothi resistance fighters or calling for immediate cease fire in gaza. so where is this all heading? how badly is the israeli war on gaza going? why has it taken the uk more than two months to call for seas spire? we'll be discussing those questions and more with professor jonathan rosenhet, emeritus professor at the london school of economics, chairman of the british committee for the universities of palestine, and an officer of jewish voice for labor, and via skype from sheffield, british, chilean journalist and filmma

will there be links of the west bank and east jerusalem in many ways? these things are oh for us to march right now. there's no way we can answer these questions. what we do know is that the person is want national unity. they want a pillow to be as a functional and credible and they are perfectly willing to negotiate a permanent peace with israel, based on the our peace plan. and we've already accepted israel's existence. so we know those things. the question, how much is we're going to go along with co existing with there's really all the palestinians acceptance and if there's a good deal of them, the person is, will accept that. because, you know, they don't want to just keep fighting. somehow they want to live in a normal life on sort of these really easily as readily as must not be happy campers was given the way what they've suffered unworkable. still suffering hand if they get pull out of gas and without really achieving their goals, which is a possibility. yeah, i can't run the career live for staff in boston or run me as always huntsville thoug

the unlawful combatan law is the equivalent of administrative detention in the occupied west bank and east jerusalemention. the issue of palestinian prisoners, particularly minors and children held in israeli jails has long been a matter of concern. according to numerous reports, the israeli military detains hundreds of palestinian minors and children every year. these arrests often occur. during violent clashes or military operations. the united nations children's funt, unicef, estimates that since 2000, around 10,000 palestinian children have been detained by israeli forces. rights groups argue that the arrest and detention procedures used by israeli authorities violate international law. palestinian minors and children are subjected to a military court system that lacks. fundamental fair trial guarantees. the detention of palestinian minors and children by israeli authorities violates several international legal instruments, including the convention on the rights of the child, crc, and their fourth geneva convention. these conventions emphasize the need for special protection and care for childre

another manifestation of the occupation is wrong, has built around $300.00 salt segments and out posts on palestinian land and the occupied west bank. and occupied east jerusalem and breach of international law. the palestinian authority has limited control of the areas a and b while area st. you. that's most of the west bank is antonia and a. is there any control? maybe 700000 is rainy's lives in, in legal assessments to connect them. isabel has built a system of road some of exclusively. so it's way the national across the occupied westbank palestinians in the territory a band from travelling on the subjugation roads, or crossing some by call as well, has also set off at least 645 road obstacles, including a $188.00 check points across the west bank, tens of thousands of palestinian workers have to go through his writing military check points every day. they say it's degrading and unjust as we all controls, every aspect of palestinian lives through a complex system of color coded identity costs based on the location is rarely possible to issued to palestinian is right is a separate id is issued to those one in jerusalem. and they don't have is there any poss

further confiscation of land and resources. from palestinians ensued with illegal, religious extremist israeli settlers, seasing palestinian homes in east jerusalem as well as in the west bankbdued and israel's security had to be protected. now donald trump's self-proclaimed road map to peace would essentially allow for israel to take half of the west bank, annexing the most. fertile agricultural lands, aquafers and prohibiting palestinians from having an army or any real autonomy. it would also connect palestinian bantu stance together via underground tunnels. upon arriving in occupied palestine, i had traveled to the village of cafin near tulkaram, where an unarmed 19-year-old boy named buther was shot in the neck and killed by israeli occupation forces. for protesting against the deal of the century. unfortunately, this was not the last funeral that i attended of young people and children who had been murdered in the west bank. however, they all resembled each other roughly, palestinian family members grieving, the look of disbelief a broken mother's face, and the cries from the village for a day where the marturdom of their brother or sister will enable... a free jerusa

west bank. the u.n. says the war in gaza is now spilling into the neighboring west bank and east jerusalem. what a lot of those who are working with these community say is that it has never been as violent, never been as deadly as it is right now. that is saying something. we've known for decades that palestinians, israeli soldiers, police, as well as jewish settlers have been fighting in and over the land there. what some of those working on the mental health in the region say is this is a situation that is going to continue to cause problems long after the fighting stops. >> so much devastation there. >> parents, mothers, children, they are under great stress in the west bank and in east russell a man in gaza. children are not safe. israel has in place all kinds of protections for children in the situation particularly when they are detained. these protections are not applied when it comes to children in east jerusalem and children in the west bank. >> a more somber statistic, stephen, from the west bank. the u.n. saying it is especially difficult on those children right now. the deadliest one year tot

west bank. it also find cases of physical and psychological abuse and torture. nearly 300 palestinians were killed due to israeli military operations in the occupied west bank and east jerusalem details a sharp increase in airstrikes and incursions i is really security forces on densely populated areas, including refugee camps. an incident -- violent incidents from armed settlers of also increased, putting sexual assault, beatings, and humiliation. earlier, i spoke to the head of office for the human commissioner for human rights in the occupied palestinian territory. >> this report casts a spotlight on the great human rights violations that have been coming in the west bank, and what we have seen is a market increase in the intensity of violations that have been happening since the seventh of october up until yesterday. we felt it was compelling to draw the attention. first of all, the nature of force used by security forces. it is being used as if there is an armed conflict. but according to international law, they should be dealing with this in the legal framework of law enforcement. so what we see now instead is use of fighter jets, bombs being dropped, drones being used,

who have citizenship of israel, about 20% of israel, and of course the palestinian people who live in occupied territories, west bank, east jerusalem, gaza, don't have the rights that... normal citizens would have, and of course israel's witing governments have often used race, religion and softh as a political ideology, you will find many times extreme riding politicians within the israeli governments also spouse really offensive statements, there was reports about deputy mayor of jerusalem also making horrendous statements and of course the conflicts makes makes it worse, i think part of the difficulty israel conflict is that religion has become evolved, land has become involved, so then it's often you find politicians resort to racism, so really is a tragedy, i think part of the reason why the majority of the world is condemning the govern visual's actions is because it's based upon race and religion, and that's really, it's making matter so much more difficult and more difficult to resolve. following the israeli regimes, genocidal war on gaza, there have been many anti-israeli protests in africa like this one here. and is the m

worst of crime, wars, and crimes against humanity that clearly aim to unfortunately, to eliminate the palestinian people and end their cause. mr. president, in the west bank and in east jerusalem as well, the settler crimes are escalating under the protection of the israeli army. we are now before a systemic killing of the palestinian people in the west bank and in east jerusalem. since october, more than 250 have been killed, martyred in addition to many displaced persons because of the settlement expansions and the dispossession of homes and the destruction of establishments and criminal attacks by the settlers. the arab group places on record that this aggression and his occupation could also attack syria and lebanon through which they are targeting the safe villages in the south of lebanon and the lebanese army. and the journalists who report on the facts in great danger in a way that in a way that may lead the entire region to a wider conflict. mr. president, the arab group calls on the security council to uphold its duties in the maintenance of international peace and security and the demands in this context to demand an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, as per the arab

of better cities. they would like to see more people from the west bank and east jerusalem. and within is there a sense leave and the there were some, even some suggestions about uh, giving them rewards for leaving, buying them out basically of their own homeland. the thing is that it as much as they've been suffering for the past 75 years. and as much as, as i've tried to push that by the scene is up, are you here one but a soon after another even, you know, one, a grieving mother, one grieving father outside another would have destroyed the house next to them, saying that we want to rebuild our community and this is not happening in a vacuum, but we've got to put this in context, model one the, the conflict didn't begin on october the 7th. so talking about a native population living on the land. they've been under occupation full decades . they've been, in the case of gauze, they've been also on the siege for years. right. this is, this is not just a southern development in the last few weeks that has been an occupation going on. and the dehumanization spoke about people of

hearing israel's encroachments intensified in 1967 resulting in the illegal occupation of the west bank in east jerusalem, including the old city analog. since 1967 jordan and israel agreed that the walk of for these land trust would have control of a match as inside the compound, well is ro would control external security. non muslims would be allowed onto the site during visiting hours, but not allowed to pray their rising temple movements have been a challenging these really, governments ban on jews entering. the compound, though today is really forces routinely allow groups of jewish settlers to enter the locks. a compound on the police and ami protection is restricts policy. an entry into the compound to several methods, including a separation will and permits from his riley authorities that are hard to get. i'm a stuff i will sway is on his lennox scala and member of the slamming corks council in occupied east jerusalem. he says he is worried about the rise of ultra nationalist, jewish activists, would it? and in fact everyone would be what? because we talk about the eyes of these, the, you know, p

conflict as well as encroachments intensified in 1967 resulting in the illegal occupation of the west bank an east jerusalem, including the old city and the locks up since 1967 jordan and israel agreed that the walk of all these land like trusts would have control of a matches inside the compound. while israel would control external security. not most limbs would be allowed onto the site during visiting hours, but not allowed to pray there. but in recent years, some ultra nationalists have been challenging the ban on praying of the site, which is raising tensions with the palestinian communities. today is riley forces routinely allow groups of jewish settlers to enter the locks a compound on the police and ami protection. israel restricts pilots the, an entry into the compound to several methods, including a separation war and permits from is really authorities that are hard to get stuff obviously is an islamic scala and member of the islamic walk of council and occupied east jerusalem. he says he is worried about the rise of his really ultra nationalist. it would it. and in fact everyone would be what? bec

palestinians from historic palestine and carry out series of... massacres, the third is the 1967 war, when israel sees the west bank, east jerusalem in gaza and expelled roughly another 250,00 palestinians, the fourth declaration of war on palestine was ariel schronne's invasion of lebanon and the siege of beirot, followed by the departure of the palestinian liberation organization fighters to tunisia and other parts of the arab world, and the 1982 mass at the sovereign shatilla refugee camps. the fourth war against the palestinians began with the first intafada or uprising in 1987, continued with the second indafada and is taking place with the israeli assault on gaza. the back drop to this century of war by israel and the palestinians is the failure by arab leaders to offer meaningful support to the palestinian people. in fact, these leaders often colluded with israel to weaken the palestinian. for anyone who wants to put what's happening in gaza in context, i can't think of better book, um, you make the argument correctly, of course, that we see variations in scale and savagery and tactics, but not in intent. um, let's begin wi
