mohamed is putting the ball in the israelis court but is he right or the assumption that israelis don't want to change anything. we are stronger can if he has palestinian friends. i go. with a lot most of the people i work with him tourism their hotel staff and drivers are muslims living in the eastern part of jerusalem or in the northern and southern parts of israel or i have a very good relations with them. we talk to each other and have very friendly relationships as far as work goes for and then it doesn't really matter whether i'm jewish or christian or muslim or the sheet. name of them. but it's ok with me some of the math for you i'm in conflict with others what makes me so sad about this conflict is that it doesn't have to be this way i have a friend who's palestinian because she's a reporter who lives in ramallah but we can't really see a lot of each other it just doesn't work across the border or what but we are in touch through what's happened by phone use and by god we disagree about a lot of things but we still appreciate each other is people and say ok we're both human bei

now, you can blame the israelis. but you can also blame palestinians for allowing enough justifications for the creation of that mess. maybe they were misled. maybe they had no other choice. but this is what you have. you have enough building blocks to create the myth of israeli -- >> were the palestinians misled during the four years? and how are they coping with their fears? we went to see a person who fought for victims w witut a futurere. >> i h had mycousin killed by the israelis. anand we were susupposed to hav party here. we lit candles for all those who passed away to give us life. so we lit candles. and we cried there. then we came back home, we danced. we also cried again. andd for us, that was the resistance. >> the regression in the last three years has been incredible in the relationship between palestinians and the israelis. is there any way that you found to go tothe heart ofisraelis and tell them don't be afraid of me? >> i don't believe in this fear. we are the people who are afraid of them. they are

that israeli soldiers by the israeli regime, there are several international organizations accusing the israeli regime carrying out killings, regardless to that we're seeing more crimes while the israelis are confident whatever they do they won't be prosecuted or punished. >> well, it's kind of a theory, which i do believe even in it. each and every occupation around the world so far, along the history. the first thing they usually did to-- did do is two things. they can feel good about themselves we're note killing a person, we're killing an animal or-- and the second one is to make the occupied to feel inferior compared to the superiority. and this is a model and not far from the israelis, in fact, they're playing it, even to the letter. they are so much demonizing the palestinians and for various reasons. it's not only colonial reasons, but sometimes religious and sometimes for this idea of superiority defeat against the palestinians and because, again, israel is a racist country, not only against us as palestinians, but even racist within its own system. it's racist against the

now she's working on a book about israelis and germans. the things that they have in common and the problems they have with each other. and that are beginning probably like all germans i was a bit apprehensive like when i talk on the phone with my mother in german but i had very positive experiences that said i live in tel aviv and young televisa are in fact really into germany. and. israelis are so wonderfully relaxed and laid back and i really like the mentality there's a kind of easiness you walk down the streets you sit down in a cafe and immediately someone comes and starts chatting with you that can be pretty annoying sometimes the good thing about israel is that you're practically never alone the bad thing about israel is that you're practically never alone. germany is three thousand kilometers away but israelis follow events there closely so i think. the anti semitic voices in germany there heard here too like during the recent conflict when videos with calls of gas the jews circulated on the web people here are aware of that but t

ten israelis and five put it all together i think i've known any single israeli person if i'm for it. coming back to germany after some years in in the states around two thousand and ten it's a whole different situation all of a sudden there are thousands of israelis here and twenty fourteen fan are you gave a solo performance with the berlin philharmonic conducted by sir simon france. but he maintains close ties to israel and he's concerned about the middle east conflict conflicts are meant to be resolved and i am hopeful and i'm being an optimist because i sittin in berlin where it's been probably the most horrendous places on earth for jews seventy or eighty years ago and i sit here and this city is prospering. i think festival presents partnerships between israeli and german artists. since twenty fifteen ohio has organized an annual festival that showcases israeli art and artists this year's festival will be held in berlin in october. these people they. come back to berlin come back to germany to revive jewish culture this time inform us also israeli colleagues are with slightly d

what the israeli army calling the projectiles being fired by iranian forces inside syria towards israeli targets in the golan heights as you say they say some of those projectiles were intercepted saying that the no casualties damage sustained in that attack but a spokesman for the israeli military says that this was in a rain event a significant event and it will not be tolerated israel saying that it did respond although it's not going into detail about that response and as you say there are reports of a continuing israeli strike involving croft. damascus that coming from the syrian side pro side media also talking about israeli military compounds that were targeted in this attack including eavesdropping sent to hell report a regional command headquarters say israel saying that there would be no damage sustained in the syrian state media saying that the defenses have confronted israeli rockets all of this coming of course after the trumped the corporation calling the u.s. out of iraq nuclear deal just ahead of that these are the military had been instructing local authorities in northe

israeli. prime minister has been talking about the need to confront iranian troops inside syria the threat that he perceives from attempts to put ballistic missiles inside syrian territory and with hezbollah inside lebanon as well as we just saw he's been in russia and he's trying to ascertain from russians exactly what kind of reaction could be expected from them came out of that meeting saying that as far as he was concerned it was him that the russians would not in any way interfere in israel's freedom of action inside syria while defending itself so there are these wider calculations taking to into account but in the initial instance certainly as far as the israelis are concerned they are expecting in a rain in response to israeli strikes inside syrian territory perry thank you. well speaking about the israeli action a pentagon spokesperson said the u.s. strongly supports israel's inherent right to self defense quotes they also said iran was the most significant destabilizing force in the

that's a huge concern today as the lebanese army says that four israeli fighter jets violated. space. this is something which is creating concerns because now the confrontation in syria degenerate into a full blown confrontation between the israelis and the iranians now the question is what would be the reaction of hezbollah or israel has been saying in the fast that the syrian government is behaving the way for iran and hezbollah seventeen strong three presence in on the golden hide nothing from the border with israel this has been raising concerns you've been here eleven that any confrontation over into lebanon as a could trigger a reaction from hezbollah that happens that you might end up with a situation where you have different frontlines different of these happening at the same time which could destabilize the entire region now the biggest concern from an israeli perspective they say they have seen iranian side. stepping into these areas particularly on the border with israel hoping to maintain permanent military bases now in the past the narrative of the israeli governme

the germans from the israelis and the israelis from the germans but we have to get to know each otheretter. and better. each winter biden for my wish for both our people as for us to be more interested in each other not just at the level of politics or history. we should leave those levels behind us and our personal associations and then we'll have a great shared future. for really willow music symbolizes how well is really is and germans can harmonize right now she's or her sing some of her songs with her husband benedict and some german friends. now. i think it really. goes well with my style cause i'm like coming from a very classical background now and i write my songs so i could then think took them and like arranged it in a way that will be they can fit everybody here and they're really into that so it's really fun to to play with them. yeah eat. we should celebrate every time that humans are going through some pain to gether and they can have a good relationship with each other and i think it's really beautiful that people leave here and they have relationships and they have li

goal of killing israelis. hamas, internationally recognized terrorist organization, has taken the people of gaza hostage. past friday, a hamas-led mob set fire to the kerem shalom board here -- border and destroyed large part of it. this crossing is a major entry point for groups to enter gaza. the damage hit gas lines and facilities on fire and will cost millions of dollars to repair. but hamas doesn't care. it's -- it values destruction over prosperity, death over peace. israel has known these facts for a long time. we were reminded of it just last week when the idf found and destroyed the ninth hamas terror tunnel since last october. this tunnel started in gaza running alongside the pedestrian crossing and ending just meters from a village inside israel. its goal was terror. to kill and kidnap jews in the surrounding israeli towns. hamas lives on death, but not just the death of israeli civilians. as we have reported time and again, hamas is guilty of exploiting the innocent people of gaza as human shields.

that's why the israelis loved him and followed him. often. but ira docs acclaims there was no one who could take over from him after his assassination. the learning to other shall we don't have leaders on the personal level and the groupthink that we don't have a political elite intellectually and spiritually capable of formulating a new idea of going on repping as a us it in my hand rebooting his deeply realistic zionist and israeli approach of sharing the country of these elite without ignoring the difficulties of the region what part of. i'm convinced that this vision of the future no longer exists on the israeli political scene i continue my research i've heard about a group of israeli and palestinian women who have all lost a loved one killed by the other side and who are united in grieving against all expectations they want to turn their personal tragedy into a weapon for peace together so this is bullshit. she lives. and she knows to some. and she joined the parents so-called and i would say she's probably one of the most at two of all

meaning that israelis most of israelis never seen a palestinian in his home. and maybe not at all i think it's very hard to imagine that people lived here to give or that palestinian even been here before i mean it's almost impossible to imagine for a jewish israelis. spy works for an israeli organization called sock root that means remembering in hebrew stock wrote organizers chose to palestinian villages that were depopulated. in november one thousand nine hundred forty seven the un approved the politician plan and the creation of a jewish state and then of up state we said the immediately yes we accepted this politician plan despite the fact that the jewish state was very very small and all in free different pieces the arab side said no and started immediately a war who spoke was the destruction of the jewish presence on this land. we fought back we were six hundred thousand people at that time and we lost six thousand people we lost one percent of our population in this war of independence we fought back we were fighting for our lives and we won the war ag

than the israelis on this at least there were some israeli writers who stood tall to say enough is enough about these massacres being committed against the innocent civilian population and then the second pretext the us they say oh they're hamas lieberman the defense minister of israel says there are no innocent people of gaza imagine two million people there isn't a single entrant child woman man in the eyes of lieberman who is innocent so everyone can be killed everyone should be killed and then secondly. we have videos of israeli soldiers shooting sniping our kids and then dancing dancing on it and number three we called for an investigation commission and who rejected negotiate their investigation commission. israel hayley from friends of israel and london are nowhere what's going on that cannot stand that that cannot stand if we if you want peace in this region if we want to defeat extremism in this region we cannot allow this extremist israeli government to do what's doing in terms of settlement activities the massacres the confiscation of land the settlement activities the siege th

of deadly force the israeli ambassador to the u.n. spoke earlier let's take a listen to what he had to say wouldn't go down to the mob rushing to the fans to many of the international community never meet them up with unity to legitimize the palestinian voice. but when it comes to the three fifty or the very public do often the ward is silent. so what has the government said today. the government particularly netanyahu today spends most of the day defending what israel did in gaza and promoting their story which is that hamas is the one that killed all these people essentially hamas is the one that sent those thousands and thousands of palestinians to the border who were then fired on by the israeli troops and also promoting their line of hate is rich israel has tried other methods they've tried nonviolent tactics talking about the fact that they dropped fliers into gaza telling people not to go to the border saying that hamas was using them as human shields and this is been the israeli line saying that this is not our fault we tried

the israeli press has systematically dehumanised them over the years. even the most obvious victims are not protected as human beings as alex. was about seven my explain to the crew the importance of what you've done for years now and how long exactly that michel shani for about thirty years shows himself there are general views from both sides some concepts overall ideas. but you're presenting individuals you try to show the impact of the occupation on the individual. or the public on a small scale but you look at bush. case by case case by case by case. that's my aim for measurable feel good still surprises me is that we're welcomed with open arms despite being israeli. point which i would do it waited until the way back to say that now if that will get stones thrown at us i believe in the evil eye. but you're right i'm still she in thirty years no one has ever refused to speak to us not even parents who had lost a child the day before. i was a good girl can this cycle of vengeance be avoided if i don't come i shall offer them with each of us if we ma

hamas leads to the death of israeli civilians. iswe have reported, hamas guilty of exploiting the innocent people of gaza as human shields. amas terrorists hide behind innocent young children and place them directly in the line of fire. the backs and footage do not lie. hamas is committing direct violations of international law. it's terrorists hide behind innocent children to ensure their own survival. the head of hamas in gaza recently said to palestinian news, "we favor assassination over the natural death, and we are always willing to sacrifice our lives." a few days ago, a hamas member was captured cross into israel, and provided critical insight into hamas' plots. i will reveal what we have learned. fenceis obstructing the cameras ins security order to sabotage the top of the fence and disrupt activity. violence it is instigating to be seen in the international media as a popular uprising, not as violent action led by militants. aree, hamas terrorists hiding behind civilians during the riots. the fence is heavily armed. hama

the israeli army responded with tear gas and live ammunition. confrontations also took place in bethlehem in the west bank massive protests have been announced for tuesday when the palestinians commemorate their defeat in the israeli palestinian war seventy years ago. part i'm joined now by. she's a journalist in the gaza strip who was at the border fence with israel today we appreciate you taking the time to talk with this today is being described as one of the bloodiest days in years in gaza tell us what did you see today. saturday i linked to the protest it covered the protest the fence night eight and age ten that palestinian protesters started to go in. that's and what happened is there were a lot of companies with these ladies men ages with different backgrounds and everyone was here like everyone went today defense department against the refuse of . the rain and all the easing on the celebration of the other patient of the u.s. embassy. the israelis have been reacting very violent against the policy protesters where they have a lot of log
