the strategy for the settlers is to take over hill off the hill of the west bank. they do it by building small outposts and then expanding downhill closer to the palestinian farmers. legally they can't cross this line. given to them i would also like to see just talk him into his mission they came up with this line one year ago. they tried the same trick last year but in the end the farmers work here. if you don't like it take your questions to the coordination office. simply this attempts to. slowly slowly take over another do them here another doom here from their point of view this is redeeming the land of israel and they'll do it by any means possible. piece by piece. we're trying in some way to help how things have gone and even get some of the lands back. we always go by the accuser the palestinians the army wants control they want to go anywhere without a permit and i can't you have to make a choice is the best way to hold on to your life and we back you whatever you do. and they will be treated be appealing. well you didn't. really have to have that one but

in one thousand six to seven israel conquered the west bank. and arab east jerusalem. and still today the palestinians live under military control. this is a film for israelis who want an end to more than forty years of israeli occupation breaking the silence is a group of ex israeli soldiers who served during the second intifada in the occupied territories and today we work to try to expose the reality of occupation back home. we call a break in a science because you have to understand that what's going on in the occupied territories is like one of the biggest taboos in israel. people just don't talk about it you don't come back home and say money is here to tell us things we feel this that it just doesn't come over. that people back home people here in israel have no clue of what's going on there it's like there's there's a secret agreement between society and military. we know there is going on there but please don't bring it about you know we want to live our life without. without knowing what it takes to have a peaceful life. or here just to talk about what we did

it would include the gaza strip, west bank and east jerusalem. isreali settlement will end up in a new palestine, unacceptable for sellers. the membership seems doomed to failure. the u.s. will use its veto on the security council. the palestinians would look at the vatican option. this would mean recognition as a nonmember states, not by the security council, but by the general assembly. that would give the palestinian territory enhanced observer status. this option would pass with a comfortable 2/3 majority. it would handle a political victory to the palestinian leadership. they could press on with full membership like unicef and membership in the international criminal court in the hague with far reaching implications, like the ability to bring cases against israel. along with the eu and the mideast quartet are trying to persuade the palestinians not to apply for full membership. saying only negotiations with israel can securities. >> some of the fiercest opposition in israel for palestinian statehood is coming from israeli settlers. both ultr

together do you believe that the that there's that deep seated plan where we just first get the west bank and we get gaza is recognized as a state and then the destruction of israel because i don't come across that argument very often but then again i don't live in israel no look i think it's really important to put this in perspective the first perspective is that the palestinians have repeatedly recognized israel they did it in eighty eight they did explicitly in one thousand nine hundred three in every single agreement there has been a recognition of israel every single palestinian leader has was a jew and say that they recognize israel. you know in the community that if you are if you may if you may allow me to continue i will answer your question now the problem is that israel has never recognized palestine there is not a single israeli political party in the knesset that has recognized palestine and palestine is right to exist now going back to the issue of the jewish state the issue of the jewish state is something that was recently added to the negotiations and during the period t

and how will we stop the smuggling into the west bank? it's the west bank mountain just dominates the coastal plane where most of israel's population sits below. how could we prevent the smuggling into these mountains of those missiles that could be fired on our city? i bring up these problems because they are not theatrical problems. they are very real. and for israelis they are life and death matters. all these potential cracks in israel's security have to be sealed in a peace agreement before a palestinian state is declared. not afterwards. because if you leave it jards, it won't. and these problems will explode in our face and explodes the peace. the palestinians should first make peace with israel. and then get their state. i also want to tell you this. after such a peace agreement is signed, israel will not be the last country to welcome a palestinian state as a new member of the united nation. we will be the first.

you see them there in the west bank.lso the so-called quartet, the united states, the united nations and russia, worked on a new proposal designed to get direct negotiations started again, they hope within four weeks. the goal is to have an agreement, a peace agreement, by the end of 2012 but the quartet's statement avoids the most difficult obstacles to peace talks now. palestinians, for an example, demand an immediate freeze of settlement expansions. israel demands recognition as a jewish state. so, hardly clear, this push to resume talks will actually result in productive negotiations but that didn't stop secretary of state hillary clinton from hailing it as a significant breakthrough. >> the quartet proposal represents the firm conviction of the international community that a just and lasting peace can only come through negotiations between the parties. therefore, we urge both parties to take advantage of this opportunity to get back to talks. >> let's take a look at how these different perspectives play out on the m

sort of things are going to happen in the arab world and in this in and palestine itself in the west bank in the gaza strip it will be massive demonstrations attempts to breach israeli settlements all of this will lead to violence and where that goes where we go from there i have no idea well i think the violence will has already started i mean when we look at the arab spring here then it's very interesting here really the u.s. position because the united states again is going to look very lonely on the international stage when you look at world opinion and if we look at the arab spring what's going on i mean you know the united states will come out and say it supports the freedom of some people but it will not do that for the palestinians apparently and it doesn't good for the people of bahrain also by the way i mean how is this change the dynamic or does it at all because there to be position of the united states in the greater middle east the arab world is so poor anyway. well this is where i think the palestinian leadership needs to take a good hard look at itself and take to learn so

history in the year two thousand the palestinians were offered a state solution in almost all the west bank the gaza strip east jerusalem by in american president bill clinton and they would barak the israeli prime minister and they said no and the problem with what they're doing now is not only is it unilateral but it also involves non recognition of israel as a jewish state in other words their declaring their statehood a but not accepting israel as their neighbor and it's not clear whether the even will accept the sixty seven borders this is in contrast incidentally with one thousand nine hundred forty seven when the un decided on the partition of palestine into two states and israel at the time accepted a palestinian state next to a jewish state and palestinians of course turned down the can state offer in one nine hundred forty seven as they did in the year two thousand ok dan i mean this issue of recognizing israel's a jewish state but what good that negate the right of return for palestinians to palestine. absolutely and this is why palestinians will never recognize israel as a jewis
