9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
10[br]00:00:33,428 --> 00:00:35,588[br]*Where is the voice of the day?*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
100[br]00:07:47,177 --> 00:07:50,880[br]So that valley has had repeated home demolitions.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1000[br]01:12:26,528 --> 01:12:30,129[br]It is most difficult for me to[br]think about what's going on here,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1001[br]01:12:30,184 --> 01:12:33,004[br]when I sit down to write back to the United States,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1002[br]01:12:33,326 --> 01:12:36,747[br]something about the virtual portal into luxury.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1003[br]01:12:40,523 --> 01:12:43,602[br]I don't know if many of the[br]children here have ever existed

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1004[br]01:12:43,736 --> 01:12:46,415[br]without tank shell holes in their walls,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1005[br]01:12:46,540 --> 01:12:52,144[br]and the towers of an occupying army surveying[br]them constantly from the near horizons.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1006[br]01:12:53,333 --> 01:12:56,293[br]I think, although I'm not entirely sure,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1007[br]01:12:56,450 --> 01:13:02,781[br]that even the smallest of these children[br]understand that life is not like this everywhere."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1008[br]01:13:03,062 --> 01:13:09,226[br]It was Sunday afternoon in Charlotte,[br]about noon, actually,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1009[br]01:13:09,343 --> 01:13:11,648[br]and I received a phone call.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
101[br]00:07:54,467 --> 00:07:58,836[br]Rodina, herself, has lived[br]through two home demolitions.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1010[br]01:13:11,734 --> 01:13:15,699[br]And my son-in-law, Kelly, was on the phone.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1011[br]01:13:15,773 --> 01:13:19,011[br]And he asked if Craig was there.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1012[br]01:13:19,321 --> 01:13:22,660[br]And something about the way[br]he asked made me realize...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1013[br]01:13:22,745 --> 01:13:25,472[br]I felt right away that something was wrong.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1014[br]01:13:25,612 --> 01:13:27,375[br]And then I asked, "Why, Kelly?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1015[br]01:13:27,514 --> 01:13:30,008[br]And he hesitated for a minute, and he said:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1016[br]01:13:30,266 --> 01:13:33,000[br]"We've had some very sad news."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1017[br]01:13:33,119 --> 01:13:36,931[br]And then my daughter, Sara,[br]I could hear her in the background,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1018[br]01:13:37,158 --> 01:13:42,524[br]and she got on the telephone, and[br]she said, "Mom, it's Rachel."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1019[br]01:13:42,662 --> 01:13:48,035[br]And I think the first words out of[br]my mouth then were, "Is she dead?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
102[br]00:07:58,972 --> 00:08:01,770[br]They are living now in their third house.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1020[br]01:14:05,064 --> 01:14:12,705[br]We were opposing the demolition of farmland[br]and other property, Palestinian property,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1021[br]01:14:06,361 --> 01:14:11,661[br]Joe Carr[br]ISM Activist[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1022[br]01:14:12,728 --> 01:14:16,038[br]by Israeli destruction force bulldozers.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1023[br]01:14:23,588 --> 01:14:28,018[br]And a bulldozer drove up, and it kept[br]going, and she tried to move back,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1024[br]01:14:28,151 --> 01:14:31,140[br]but she couldn't move back, and[br]she got caught underneath.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1025[br]01:14:31,277 --> 01:14:33,438[br]She got caught underneath the bulldozer.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1026[br]01:14:36,197 --> 01:14:39,344[br]Many other internationals began to[br]surround the bulldozer and yell at it

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1027[br]01:14:39,375 --> 01:14:41,983[br]and tell it that there is somebody[br]there, and it did not stop.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1028[br]01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:02,306[br]Where Rachel was killed, she was[br]protecting a doctor's home.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1029[br]01:15:02,368 --> 01:15:05,649[br]And that's important to realize,[br]and the three children and his wife.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
103[br]00:08:03,052 --> 00:08:06,322[br]A bulldozer arrived with soldiers

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1030[br]01:15:05,782 --> 01:15:11,930[br]She knew that family, and that doctor felt[br]that Rachel was like a daughter to him.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1031[br]01:15:12,032 --> 01:15:14,254[br]He bought that house, it was[br]in the middle of a neighborhood.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1032[br]01:15:14,340 --> 01:15:18,886[br]There were other rows of houses[br]between his house and the border.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1033[br]01:15:19,207 --> 01:15:23,519[br]Those other homes, those other streets,[br]were all destroyed and now it was his turn.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1034[br]01:15:24,228 --> 01:15:26,696[br]And I've had people say:[br]"Well, she was in a war zone."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1035[br]01:15:26,735 --> 01:15:30,657[br]And somebody points out, that war[br]zone is people's neighborhoods.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1036[br]01:15:30,712 --> 01:15:31,964[br]Those are children.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1037[br]01:15:34,286 --> 01:15:36,403[br]I'm here for other children.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1038[br]01:15:36,575 --> 01:15:38,458[br]I'm here because I care.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1039[br]01:15:38,599 --> 01:15:41,403[br]I'm here because children everywhere are suffering,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
104[br]00:08:06,422 --> 00:08:09,640[br]I was totally shocked and began to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1040[br]01:15:39,466 --> 01:15:44,466[br]Rachel Corrie[br]5th Grade Speech[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1041[br]01:15:41,622 --> 01:15:44,951[br]and because 40,000 people die each day from hunger.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1042[br]01:15:45,243 --> 01:15:48,477[br]I'm here because those[br]people are mostly children.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1043[br]01:15:48,860 --> 01:15:52,805[br]We have got to understand that the poor are[br]all around us and we are ignoring them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1044[br]01:15:52,961 --> 01:15:56,386[br]We have got to understand[br]that these deaths are preventable.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1045[br]01:15:56,730 --> 01:16:00,035[br]We have got to understand that[br]people in third world countries

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1046[br]01:16:00,299 --> 01:16:04,689[br]think and care, and smile, and cry just like us.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1047[br]01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:09,156[br]We have got to understand[br]that they are us; we are them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1048[br]01:16:09,359 --> 01:16:12,344[br]My dream is to stop hunger by the year 2000.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1049[br]01:16:12,445 --> 01:16:14,960[br]My dream is to give the poor a chance.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
105[br]00:08:09,740 --> 00:08:13,584[br]argue with them not to demolish my home

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1050[br]01:16:15,187 --> 01:16:18,913[br]My dream is to save the 40,000[br]people who die each day.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1051[br]01:16:19,085 --> 01:16:23,374[br]My dream can, and will, come true,[br]if we all look into the future

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1052[br]01:16:23,514 --> 01:16:25,702[br]and see the light that shines there.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1053[br]01:16:25,796 --> 01:16:28,741[br]Rachel Corrie died at the age of 23.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1054[br]01:16:29,273 --> 01:16:35,534[br]The U.S. Congress has refused her parent's request to[br]conduct an independent investigation into her murder.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1055[br]01:16:36,724 --> 01:16:39,670[br]As Israel completed its withdrawal from Gaza,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1056[br]01:16:39,806 --> 01:16:45,641[br]the following day, it issued orders to confiscate[br]additional Palestinian land from the West Bank

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1057[br]01:16:45,845 --> 01:16:48,951[br]and continue the construction of a separation wall.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1058[br]01:16:51,558 --> 01:16:56,112[br]This wall is twice the height of the[br]Berlin Wall and four times longer.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1059[br]01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:58,268[br]It rips through villages,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
106[br]00:08:13,671 --> 00:08:17,443[br]so they began to beat me

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1060[br]01:16:59,322 --> 01:17:04,411[br]severing travel for work,[br]health care, and education,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1061[br]01:17:05,465 --> 01:17:10,590[br]separating farmers from their lands,[br]and families from loved ones.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1062[br]01:17:12,264 --> 01:17:17,875[br]An Israeli study revealed that the barrier's[br]route was chosen in order to confiscate land

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1063[br]01:17:18,010 --> 01:17:22,919[br]intended for illegal settlement expansion,[br]not for security reasons.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1064[br]01:17:24,583 --> 01:17:29,606[br]Here you have this huge wall being constructed,[br]right in the middle of the West Bank.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1065[br]01:17:25,052 --> 01:17:29,583[br]Rabbi Michael Lerner[br]Editor - Tikkun Magazine[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1066[br]01:17:29,747 --> 01:17:33,845[br]How can anybody believe that there is[br]going to be the creation of a real state?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1067[br]01:17:33,931 --> 01:17:37,384[br]It's a symbol and a reality of oppression.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1068[br]01:17:37,860 --> 01:17:42,985[br]Anybody outside of Israel who supports a[br]two-state solution has to be very careful

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1069[br]01:17:43,008 --> 01:17:48,472[br]because what they mean in a two-state solution is that[br]90 percent of historical Palestine will be Israel.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
107[br]00:08:17,543 --> 00:08:19,441[br]and pull my hair.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1071[br]01:17:48,608 --> 01:17:51,522[br]In the remaining 10 percent,[br]you'll have two huge prison camps.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1072[br]01:17:51,631 --> 01:17:53,818[br]One in the Gaza Strip[br]and one in the West Bank.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1073[br]01:17:53,991 --> 01:17:59,398[br]There are currently over 420,000 Israeli settlers[br]living inside the West Bank and East Jerusalem

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1074[br]01:18:00,399 --> 01:18:05,390[br]Over the coming years, Israel intends[br]to expand that number by the thousands.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1075[br]01:18:05,813 --> 01:18:07,920[br]Maj. General Ya'ir Naveh,[br]head of Israel's West Bank occupation forces:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1076[br]01:18:07,968 --> 01:18:14,037[br]"We have no intention of leaving Jedea and Samaria[br][West Bank]. We will remain here in one way or[br]another for hundreds and thousands of years."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1078[br]01:18:17,511 --> 01:18:22,855[br]The people who fought in the war were also the[br]people who wrote the history books of the war.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1079[br]01:18:22,957 --> 01:18:27,676[br]And they already had the story that they[br]made up about what had really happened.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
108[br]00:08:19,540 --> 00:08:23,396[br]As the bulldozer was to begin the demolition

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1080[br]01:18:27,715 --> 01:18:31,245[br]And that story was integrated[br]in the Israeli education system.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1081[br]01:18:31,276 --> 01:18:35,276[br]It was integrated in the media,[br]in the political discourse.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1082[br]01:18:36,396 --> 01:18:39,747[br]Some of us who work as Jewish[br]educators have been admitting,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1083[br]01:18:36,869 --> 01:18:42,326[br]Rabbi Rebecca Lillian[br]Jewish Peace Forum[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1084[br]01:18:39,763 --> 01:18:42,677[br]over the last maybe ten years,[br]that it is propaganda.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1085[br]01:18:42,817 --> 01:18:47,199[br]Israelis don't understand what's going on.[br]They don't know the occupation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1086[br]01:18:47,824 --> 01:18:49,659[br]We began to educate ourselves.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1088[br]01:18:49,855 --> 01:18:54,456[br]And the first thing we did was invite women, Palestinian[br]women, to come into our homes and talk to us,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1089[br]01:18:54,519 --> 01:18:57,507[br]and tell us what exactly was[br]the problem, as they saw it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
109[br]00:08:23,496 --> 00:08:25,921[br]I remembered that my

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1090[br]01:18:57,663 --> 01:18:59,897[br]And little by little,[br]we learned about their lives.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1091[br]01:19:00,085 --> 01:19:03,639[br]We learned about the suffering,[br]they encountered on a daily basis.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1092[br]01:19:03,913 --> 01:19:05,960[br]We learned about the[br]killing going on there,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1093[br]01:19:06,022 --> 01:19:13,178[br]about the lives that were completely circumscribed[br]by an occupation that they had no control over.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1094[br]01:19:13,451 --> 01:19:16,553[br]I'm one of the few Israelis not[br]in uniform and not a settler

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1095[br]01:19:13,451 --> 01:19:17,357[br]Rabbi Arik Ascherman[br]Rabbis for Human Rights[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1096[br]01:19:16,598 --> 01:19:19,020[br]that's been in the territories[br]in the last nine months.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1097[br]01:19:19,432 --> 01:19:22,037[br]You just see that the army was[br]actually waging a very cruel war.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1098[br]01:19:22,154 --> 01:19:26,573[br]On the Israeli side, there seems to be no[br]understanding that this how you create terrorism.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1099[br]01:19:26,675 --> 01:19:31,917[br]If you are so repressive on a people, you[br]give them the sense of having no options,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
11[br]00:00:37,022 --> 00:00:39,547[br]*Where is the voice of the people?*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
110[br]00:08:26,021 --> 00:08:27,972[br]son was sleeping inside

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1100[br]01:19:31,956 --> 01:19:34,605[br]and that's a very dangerous place.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1101[br]01:19:38,690 --> 01:19:43,217[br]In fact, there's a very clear correlation[br]between the kind of human rights abuses

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1102[br]01:19:40,246 --> 01:19:45,756[br]Peter Boukaert[br]Human Rights Watch[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1103[br]01:19:43,232 --> 01:19:45,803[br]that Israel commits in the West Bank and Gaza

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1104[br]01:19:45,818 --> 01:19:50,662[br]and the Palestinian militant[br]response to those abuses.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1105[br]01:19:50,741 --> 01:19:52,468[br]A report that examined the background of 87 suicide concluded:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1106[br]01:19:52,559 --> 01:20:06,007[br]"Suicide bombers often experience personal trauma[br]related to the Israeli forces prior to their volunteering,[br]such as the death or injury of a family member."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1107[br]01:20:06,286 --> 01:20:11,240[br]Most Israelis have very clear views.[br]This is a very political country.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1108[br]01:20:11,817 --> 01:20:15,011[br]And when you talk to somebody,[br]you can argue all night,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1109[br]01:20:15,145 --> 01:20:17,949[br]and you can go red in the face,[br]or blue in the face,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
111[br]00:08:27,997 --> 00:08:32,471[br]so I ran towards the house to get him

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1110[br]01:20:16,927 --> 01:20:21,927[br]Peretz Kidron[br]Yesh Gvul - Soldiers who refuse to serve[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1111[br]01:20:18,005 --> 01:20:20,466[br]or whatever color, you won't get anywhere.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1112[br]01:20:20,674 --> 01:20:22,470[br]But when somebody says:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1113[br]01:20:22,533 --> 01:20:24,963[br]"I refuse to do this.[br]This is wrong.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1114[br]01:20:25,103 --> 01:20:27,597[br]For me, for us,[br]for our country.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1115[br]01:20:27,733 --> 01:20:31,083[br]This is immoral, and I'll go[br]to prison rather than do it."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1116[br]01:20:31,122 --> 01:20:33,959[br]And one guys does it, five guys,[br]then 50, then a hundred.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1117[br]01:20:34,006 --> 01:20:36,670[br]And people say,[br]"Hey, what's going on here?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1118[br]01:20:36,788 --> 01:20:40,045[br]These aren't cowards.[br]These aren't traitors."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1119[br]01:20:40,546 --> 01:20:42,389[br]Most of them are officers, by the way.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
112[br]00:08:32,596 --> 00:08:36,635[br]as I ran the soldiers tried to hold me back

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1120[br]01:20:42,467 --> 01:20:46,475[br]"So, if these guys are refusing,[br]there must be something wrong here."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1121[br]01:20:46,710 --> 01:20:51,273[br]Currently 1674 Israeli Soldiers[br]refuse to serve the occupation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1122[br]01:20:51,398 --> 01:20:53,226[br]At least 323 have been imprisoned for objecting.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1123[br]01:20:53,343 --> 01:20:57,913[br]Nobody can argue with what I've seen.[br]I mean, they may not like how I say it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1124[br]01:20:58,124 --> 01:21:01,416[br]Or they may not like all the facts that I convey.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1125[br]01:20:58,624 --> 01:21:03,324[br]Thomas Getman[br]Director, World Vision Jerusalem[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1126[br]01:21:01,721 --> 01:21:04,267[br]It may sound like I'm imbalanced.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1127[br]01:21:04,670 --> 01:21:08,588[br]But the fact is, when you're dealing[br]with oppression, there is no balance.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1128[br]01:21:08,752 --> 01:21:12,158[br]Even someone with a 20 percent open mind

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1129[br]01:21:08,752 --> 01:21:13,752[br]Richard Falk[br]U.N. Human Rights Fact-finding Commission[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
113[br]00:08:36,735 --> 00:08:40,314[br]They began beating and kicking me

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1130[br]01:21:12,221 --> 01:21:15,611[br]would reach the same conclusions[br]that our commission reached.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1131[br]01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:21,072[br]You could be pro-Israel and still,[br]if you saw these realities,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1132[br]01:21:21,189 --> 01:21:28,890[br]you'd have to have a completely closed mind not[br]to come to the same conclusions that we reached.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1133[br]01:21:30,845 --> 01:21:33,634[br]So the violence begins with the occupation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1134[br]01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:37,001[br]The opposition is resistance to the occupation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1135[br]01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:40,524[br]Resistance to violence is legitimate[br]in any country in the world.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1136[br]01:21:40,610 --> 01:21:43,782[br]I may disagree with some of the acts of resistance.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1138[br]01:21:43,891 --> 01:21:46,838[br]I think some of the tactics are stupid.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1139[br]01:21:47,580 --> 01:21:51,580[br]Attacks on Israeli civilians are stupid,[br]immoral, and counterproductive.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
114[br]00:08:40,414 --> 00:08:42,547[br]and pulled my hair

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1141[br]01:21:51,642 --> 01:21:52,642[br]They should be stopped.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1142[br]01:21:52,727 --> 01:21:55,437[br]We should not use violence, whatsoever

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1143[br]01:21:54,427 --> 01:21:57,614[br]Dr. Iyad Sarraj[br]Prominent Child Psychologist in Gaza[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1144[br]01:21:55,487 --> 01:22:00,008[br]because it really destroys our intentions.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1145[br]01:22:00,058 --> 01:22:02,098[br]And it destroys our position

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1146[br]01:22:02,106 --> 01:22:07,442[br]which is in the higher moral standing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1147[br]01:22:07,492 --> 01:22:09,176[br]we are the victims

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1148[br]01:22:09,226 --> 01:22:11,148[br]and the world should now understand

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1149[br]01:22:11,198 --> 01:22:12,281[br]that we are the victims.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
115[br]00:08:42,572 --> 00:08:46,483[br]I managed to push one to the ground

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1150[br]01:22:12,438 --> 01:22:16,540[br]Criticizing the Israeli government[br]policy for assassinating people,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1151[br]01:22:16,580 --> 01:22:20,798[br]or for shooting children, and maiming[br]them, for thousands of children...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1152[br]01:22:20,961 --> 01:22:23,227[br]That's not anti-Semitic.[br]That's humane.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1154[br]01:22:23,391 --> 01:22:27,383[br]We have to tell the truth about what's[br]going on, and say, as clearly as we can

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1155[br]01:22:27,414 --> 01:22:30,687[br]"If you keep going down this path,[br]you're going to destroy yourselves.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1156[br]01:22:31,007 --> 01:22:32,984[br]No enemy will have to destroy you.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1157[br]01:22:33,124 --> 01:22:34,632[br]You're rotting from within

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1158[br]01:22:34,781 --> 01:22:38,586[br]because of the methods you're[br]using against innocent people."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1159[br]01:22:41,109 --> 01:22:44,796[br]I don't think, even with the[br]best video that you can make,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
116[br]00:08:46,608 --> 00:08:50,568[br]and ran inside to my son

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1160[br]01:22:45,116 --> 01:22:51,424[br]Americans will really understand what it is[br]like to be a Palestinian under occupation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1162[br]01:22:51,944 --> 01:22:56,522[br]I guarantee you, if you[br]spend one week in Gaza,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1163[br]01:22:56,647 --> 01:22:57,983[br]or in the West Bank,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1164[br]01:22:58,076 --> 01:23:01,441[br]you will understand it[br]in a very profound way.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1165[br]01:23:10,390 --> 01:23:12,858[br]All the wars of independence

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1167[br]01:23:12,898 --> 01:23:15,421[br]you can start if you want with

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1168[br]01:23:15,451 --> 01:23:17,764[br]war of independence of the United States

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1169[br]01:23:17,789 --> 01:23:21,725[br]They said: "No Taxation Without Representation"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
117[br]00:08:50,693 --> 00:08:54,330[br]and carried him out like this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1170[br]01:23:22,116 --> 01:23:24,037[br]and we demand taxation

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1171[br]01:23:24,201 --> 01:23:25,470[br]from the Palestinians

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1172[br]01:23:25,495 --> 01:23:26,695[br]and don't give them

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1173[br]01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:27,920[br]any representation

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1174[br]01:23:27,945 --> 01:23:31,414[br]It is the same all over the world

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1175[br]01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:36,062[br]and nobody wants to be under somebody's occupation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1176[br]01:23:50,741 --> 01:23:56,299[br]As an Israeli, we go to India, and to South[br]America, to meet the Native American Indians.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1178[br]01:23:56,376 --> 01:24:04,033[br]We're looking for these, like indigenous people[br]with some kind of more rooted wisdom, you know?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1179[br]01:24:04,112 --> 01:24:07,604[br]And they're right here.[br]They're right here, right under our noses.

118[br]00:08:58,898 --> 00:09:01,483[br]Rodina and her children were once again homeless,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1180[br]01:24:07,643 --> 01:24:08,877[br]Nobody ever comes here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1181[br]01:24:08,924 --> 01:24:12,615[br]You know, the "Felaheen," for me,[br]the Palestinian "Felaheen"...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1182[br]01:24:12,750 --> 01:24:17,953[br]It's like, everything that people go looking for,

1183[br]01:24:18,445 --> 01:24:21,463[br]People with deep, deep roots,[br]really connected to the Earth,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1184[br]01:24:21,573 --> 01:24:24,510[br]with this romance with their land,[br]you know?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1185[br]01:24:24,588 --> 01:24:30,000[br]And just incredibly wise and[br]open-hearted, and simple, beautiful.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1186[br]01:24:30,188 --> 01:24:35,913[br]And Israelis never see them unless it's through

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1187[br]01:24:36,048 --> 01:24:37,276[br]a target.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1188[br]01:24:46,192 --> 01:24:48,835[br]I wish that people knew what[br]was really going on here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1189[br]01:24:48,866 --> 01:24:52,405[br]And I wish that people could see[br]these people through my eyes.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
119[br]00:09:01,530 --> 00:09:04,499[br]and had to endure living in a tent for many months.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1190[br]01:24:52,616 --> 01:24:55,623[br]That's what often I'm looking at[br]people, and they're so incredibly beautiful.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1191[br]01:24:55,662 --> 01:25:00,031[br]And I'm just thinking, "I wish that Israelis could,[br]for one minute, see them through my eyes."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1192[br]01:25:18,181 --> 01:25:20,794[br]Rachel Corrie's final thoughts,[br]emailed to her mother prior to her death:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1193[br]01:25:20,958 --> 01:25:25,801[br]No amount of reading, attendance at[br]conferences, documentary viewing,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1194[br]01:25:25,817 --> 01:25:30,304[br]and word of mouth could have prepared me[br]for the reality of the situation here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1195[br]01:25:30,769 --> 01:25:33,932[br]You just can't imagine it unless you see it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1196[br]01:25:40,809 --> 01:25:45,009[br]This is not at all what I asked for[br]when I came into this world.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1197[br]01:25:45,103 --> 01:25:49,852[br]This is not at all what the people here[br]asked for when they came into this world.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1198[br]01:25:49,989 --> 01:25:55,934[br]This is not the world you and Dad wanted me[br]to come into when you decided to have me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1199[br]01:25:58,019 --> 01:25:59,721[br]This has to stop.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
12[br]00:00:52,186 --> 00:00:54,186[br]ALGERIA[br]{\an5}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
120[br]00:09:04,938 --> 00:09:10,313[br]Her husband, Ata, was even imprisoned for[br]protesting the destruction of their home.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1200[br]01:25:59,865 --> 01:26:06,185[br]I think it is a good idea for us all to drop[br]everything and devote our lives to making this stop.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1201[br]01:26:25,049 --> 01:26:31,853[br]The real battle for justice in the Middle East[br]has to be fought and won here in America.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1202[br]01:26:32,213 --> 01:26:33,909[br]This is an American issue

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1203[br]01:26:34,026 --> 01:26:37,268[br]because this is an issue of American foreign policy.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1204[br]01:26:37,354 --> 01:26:38,750[br]Israelis are talking about this,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1205[br]01:26:38,773 --> 01:26:42,406[br]and I think it's time for Americans to realize[br]that they're the only ones not talking about it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1206[br]01:26:42,438 --> 01:26:45,951[br]It's actually very dangerous for their own interest[br]and for the interest of Israeli Jews here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1207[br]01:26:46,029 --> 01:26:47,568[br]I mean, we're not going to be tossed in jail.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1208[br]01:26:47,614 --> 01:26:48,513[br]We're not going to be tortured.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1209[br]01:26:48,591 --> 01:26:51,716[br]We're not facing what people[br]in the occupied territories are facing.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
121[br]00:09:14,257 --> 00:09:18,730[br]As I was cooking for my children

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1210[br]01:26:51,818 --> 01:26:53,614[br]And if we decide we don't want to do it, fine.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1211[br]01:26:53,692 --> 01:26:56,121[br]But then, try to look yourself in the mirror

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1212[br]01:26:56,137 --> 01:26:57,098[br]and say, "I'm a murderer."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1213[br]01:26:57,168 --> 01:27:01,906[br]It's really high time for Americans[br]to step up to the plate,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1214[br]01:27:01,969 --> 01:27:09,648[br]to do whatever we can, encourage our government to[br]take a strong initiative to end the occupation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1215[br]01:27:09,867 --> 01:27:14,781[br]Those who really care about the interests of[br]Israel should exert all the pressure possible

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1216[br]01:27:14,843 --> 01:27:19,952[br]in order to force Israel to stop the aggression,[br]stop the repression, end the occupation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1217[br]01:27:20,046 --> 01:27:24,483[br]And the just solution has to[br]be ending the occupation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1218[br]01:27:24,608 --> 01:27:27,803[br]Ending the occupation is Step Number One.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1219[br]01:27:27,858 --> 01:27:32,327[br]Justice is the best way of[br]bringing about security and peace.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
122[br]00:09:19,802 --> 00:09:24,131[br]I noticed that one of my daughters

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1220[br]01:27:32,428 --> 01:27:38,059[br]There'll be no security for Israel as long[br]as this kind of oppression continues.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1221[br]01:27:45,303 --> 01:27:52,391[br]*Close my eyes tonight*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1222[br]01:27:53,156 --> 01:28:00,748[br]*My conscience by my side*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1223[br]01:28:01,297 --> 01:28:08,348[br]*It's hard to live this lie*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1224[br]01:28:09,405 --> 01:28:16,286[br]*When truth begins with light*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1225[br]01:28:17,046 --> 01:28:19,347[br]*So I won't sleep*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1226[br]01:28:21,217 --> 01:28:24,727[br]*I will stay awake*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1227[br]01:28:25,188 --> 01:28:28,066[br]*'Cause if I dream*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1228[br]01:28:29,259 --> 01:28:32,897[br]*Then they'll take their claim*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1229[br]01:28:33,363 --> 01:28:40,967[br]*Oh, I try, oh, I try to fight*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
123[br]00:09:24,231 --> 00:09:28,887[br]had tied a rope to a tree and around

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1230[br]01:28:41,771 --> 01:28:49,188[br]*To stay awake tonight*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1231[br]01:28:49,546 --> 01:28:57,150[br]*Palestine, Palestine, Palestine*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1232[br]01:28:58,221 --> 01:29:04,850[br]*Always on my mind*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1233[br]01:29:22,445 --> 01:29:28,570[br]*Truth is where desire ends*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1234[br]01:29:30,253 --> 01:29:37,517[br]*A meaning to an end*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1235[br]01:29:38,428 --> 01:29:45,539[br]*I search myself all the time*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1236[br]01:29:46,302 --> 01:29:53,970[br]*To change what's in my mind*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1237[br]01:29:54,110 --> 01:29:56,037[br]*So I won't sleep*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1238[br]01:29:58,281 --> 01:30:01,816[br]*I will stay awake*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
124[br]00:09:28,987 --> 00:09:33,466[br]her neck to attempt to hang herself

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
125[br]00:09:33,566 --> 00:09:36,777[br]I asked her "What are you doing?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
126[br]00:09:36,877 --> 00:09:39,381[br]she said "how can we live outside

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
127[br]00:09:39,481 --> 00:09:41,715[br]in the sun like this?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
128[br]00:09:41,815 --> 00:09:44,411[br]I don't want to live. I'd rather to die."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
129[br]00:09:46,053 --> 00:09:48,996[br]It was a miserable time for us

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
130[br]00:09:49,096 --> 00:09:52,304[br]imagine a mother seeing her own

131[br]00:09:52,404 --> 00:09:54,473[br]child trying to kill herself.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
132[br]00:09:54,573 --> 00:09:57,082[br]Their mental condition ia awful!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
133[br]00:09:57,182 --> 00:10:00,463[br]They don't even sleep at night

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
134[br]00:10:00,563 --> 00:10:03,004[br]they ask: "mommy! What's that?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
135[br]00:10:03,104 --> 00:10:05,244[br]Check if it's the army!"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
136[br]00:10:05,344 --> 00:10:08,134[br]3 days ago, the army came at night

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
137[br]00:10:08,226 --> 00:10:10,478[br]and my children began screaming

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
138[br]00:10:10,578 --> 00:10:11,826[br]from all directions

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
139[br]00:10:11,926 --> 00:10:14,763[br]and the soldiers are yelling for my ID

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
141[br]00:10:16,345 --> 00:10:18,585[br]I tell them not to be fearful

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
142[br]00:10:18,685 --> 00:10:20,850[br]and try to calm and console them

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
143[br]00:10:20,950 --> 00:10:23,630[br]but I'm even more afraid than they are.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
144[br]00:10:26,453 --> 00:10:31,805[br]Here, you have Palestinians that have no input[br]whatsoever in the policies that are made.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
146[br]00:10:31,858 --> 00:10:33,037[br]They're not on the City Council.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
147[br]00:10:33,085 --> 00:10:36,256[br]They're not in any of the decision-making[br]bodies on the West Bank or Gaza.

148[br]00:10:36,337 --> 00:10:37,821[br]They're certainly not in the government.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
149[br]00:10:37,864 --> 00:10:42,392[br]The policies are made in order[br]to ensure Israeli control.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
150[br]00:10:42,535 --> 00:10:45,663[br]So the law is designed in a way,[br]in a very cynical way

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
151[br]00:10:45,805 --> 00:10:52,516[br]to prevent Palestinians from building,[br]and to keep them confined in little islands.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
159[br]00:11:19,506 --> 00:11:23,340[br]and confine their ability to expand.

164[br]00:11:37,991 --> 00:11:43,647[br]And they are defended from the outside,[br]by the Israeli military itself.

166[br]00:11:46,132 --> 00:11:47,190[br]number one,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
167[br]00:11:47,287 --> 00:11:52,161[br]is to continue the Israeli control and[br]domination of the occupied territories.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
169[br]00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:56,872[br]And the bottom line in all of this is[br]to make Palestinians leave the country.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
17[br]00:01:30,308 --> 00:01:34,110[br]*We're all in the same bag,*[br]*in the same boat.*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
170[br]00:11:57,210 --> 00:12:01,827[br]It's a very hard term, I know, but in a sense,[br]it's a kind of ethnic cleansing.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
171[br]00:12:09,334 --> 00:12:14,115[br]The Israeli government and the Israeli[br]army is not dealing with people as equal.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
172[br]00:12:14,225 --> 00:12:18,381[br]I mean, I think that that's the main problem[br]that Palestinians are not considered,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
175[br]00:12:27,499 --> 00:12:32,499[br]There is no specific discrimination[br]against Palestinian Christians

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
177[br]00:12:32,579 --> 00:12:35,930[br]as opposed to Palestinian Muslims.[br]It's a shared suffering.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
178[br]00:12:42,856 --> 00:12:48,355[br]Christians see themselves very much a part[br]of the Palestinian national movement.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
18[br]00:01:34,763 --> 00:01:39,365[br]*We suffer political oppression,*[br]*economic exploitation,*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
180[br]00:12:48,410 --> 00:12:53,230[br]They identify with the Palestinian[br]people as being their people.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
181[br]00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:58,385[br]Palestinian Christians have difficulty[br]getting to churches on Sunday morning

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
182[br]00:12:58,425 --> 00:12:59,940[br]if they wanted to come to Jerusalem,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
183[br]00:12:59,979 --> 00:13:03,275[br]because they don't have that[br]permission, or that legal right,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
184[br]00:13:03,409 --> 00:13:07,709[br]according to the Israeli government,[br]to come to Jerusalem, for worship.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
185[br]00:13:13,286 --> 00:13:20,130[br]This, I picked up in a home of a[br]wonderful Christian family in Beit Jala.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
187[br]00:13:21,261 --> 00:13:24,560[br]And this is the kind of armor-piercing weaponry

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
188[br]00:13:24,697 --> 00:13:28,656[br]that's being used against civilians,[br]innocent civilians.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
189[br]00:13:46,163 --> 00:13:49,616[br]It's not easy to tell everything, you know

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
19[br]00:01:39,772 --> 00:01:41,654[br]*and social degradation.*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
190[br]00:13:49,850 --> 00:13:52,257[br]it's easy to say some words

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
191[br]00:13:52,357 --> 00:13:54,232[br]but you can't tell how do you feel

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
192[br]00:13:55,921 --> 00:13:59,933[br]As every body I want my children to be happy

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
193[br]00:14:00,033 --> 00:14:03,875[br]to live their right life as children

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
194[br]00:14:04,037 --> 00:14:06,372[br]we just think about one thing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
195[br]00:14:06,763 --> 00:14:08,432[br]where can I put my children

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
196[br]00:14:08,532 --> 00:14:10,320[br]while they are shooting?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
197[br]00:14:15,948 --> 00:14:18,210[br]They didn't want to go to school

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
198[br]00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,371[br]because they are scared to come back

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
199[br]00:14:20,571 --> 00:14:22,543[br]and there is no house

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
20[br]00:01:42,229 --> 00:01:43,856[br]*All of them from the same enemy.*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
200[br]00:14:23,226 --> 00:14:25,373[br]they don't want to go without me

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
201[br]00:14:25,635 --> 00:14:27,509[br]and their father because

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
202[br]00:14:27,815 --> 00:14:30,129[br]they think they will lose us.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
203[br]00:14:43,234 --> 00:14:44,467[br]What about the children?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
204[br]00:14:44,667 --> 00:14:46,836[br]Why they are going to the streets?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
205[br]00:14:50,322 --> 00:14:52,988[br]They don't think let's go to swim

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
206[br]00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,059[br]because I'm sure they

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
207[br]00:14:55,179 --> 00:14:56,680[br]have no right to swim now

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
208[br]00:14:57,797 --> 00:14:58,219[br]Why?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
209[br]00:14:58,329 --> 00:14:59,529[br]Because we are Palestinian

21[br]00:01:44,256 --> 00:01:46,256[br]SOUTH AFRICA[br]{\an5}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
210[br]00:14:59,626 --> 00:15:01,243[br]Thanks God.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
211[br]00:15:01,556 --> 00:15:04,459[br]I don't imagine that there is a woman

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
212[br]00:15:04,559 --> 00:15:05,934[br]in all of the world

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
213[br]00:15:06,365 --> 00:15:07,802[br]can send her child

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
214[br]00:15:07,827 --> 00:15:09,697[br]or her man, just go to die.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
215[br]00:15:10,865 --> 00:15:13,655[br]Do you think we are working all of this life

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
216[br]00:15:13,755 --> 00:15:17,191[br]to give them something and to let them die in a minute

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
217[br]00:15:17,764 --> 00:15:18,964[br]Can you?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
218[br]00:15:35,495 --> 00:15:39,901[br]The suffering, the persecution of Christians,[br]they've been robbed of their heritage.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
219[br]00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,228[br]They've been robbed of their ancestral lands.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
22[br]00:01:49,177 --> 00:01:51,179[br]Mandela: *It is useless and point futile*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
220[br]00:15:43,382 --> 00:15:46,264[br]They've been robbed of their culture.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
221[br]00:15:47,702 --> 00:15:51,991[br]Some of the first converts to the[br]teachings of Jesus were Palestinians.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
223[br]00:15:52,311 --> 00:15:56,084[br]So that's how long Christians[br]have been in that land.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
224[br]00:15:56,178 --> 00:16:00,248[br]Their quarter, the Christian quarter[br]has been really really decimated

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
225[br]00:16:00,348 --> 00:16:02,217[br]and taken over and sliced up.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
226[br]00:16:04,123 --> 00:16:08,724[br]That has really bled the Christian communities,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
229[br]00:16:13,833 --> 00:16:19,223[br]The presence of a Christian community,[br]within the Holy Land, Can you imagine?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
23[br]00:01:51,208 --> 00:01:53,158[br]*for us to continue talking peace and*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
230[br]00:16:19,332 --> 00:16:22,781[br]Where Jesus first stepped foot,[br]will no longer be there.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
231[br]00:16:35,354 --> 00:16:39,051[br]I know both from the moral sense,[br]and from the practical sense,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
232[br]00:16:39,192 --> 00:16:41,285[br]that the only way to stop the violence

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
234[br]00:16:41,364 --> 00:16:45,562[br]is to treat the root cause from which[br]the violence has started.

235[br]00:16:46,539 --> 00:16:49,496[br]Root Cause of the Conflict

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
236[br]00:16:53,473 --> 00:16:58,496[br]The number one myth that Westerners[br]have about this conflict

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
238[br]00:16:58,543 --> 00:17:01,273[br]is that Arabs and Jews have been[br]fighting for thousands of years

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
239[br]00:17:01,384 --> 00:17:02,902[br]and they're going to continue to fight.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
240[br]00:17:04,383 --> 00:17:05,664[br]This is really quite bizarre

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
241[br]00:17:05,699 --> 00:17:10,727[br]because all it takes is a little bit of reading[br]of history to find out that this just isn't true.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
243[br]00:17:11,057 --> 00:17:17,002[br]There is no congenital, historical[br]enmity between the Arabs and the Jews.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
244[br]00:17:19,232 --> 00:17:21,291[br]The Jews flourished in the Arab world,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
245[br]00:17:21,363 --> 00:17:24,890[br]at a time when they were being[br]persecuted throughout all of Europe.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
246[br]00:17:29,008 --> 00:17:32,828[br]At the end of the 19th Century,[br]because of antisemitism in Europe,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
249[br]00:17:37,917 --> 00:17:40,943[br]A very small minority adhered to Zionism,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
250[br]00:17:41,188 --> 00:17:45,370[br]the idea that the only place in which they[br]could be safe is within a Jewish state.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
251[br]00:17:48,264 --> 00:17:54,349[br]Zionist Jews actually had a[br]design on the land of Palestine,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
252[br]00:17:54,459 --> 00:17:58,555[br]the idea of creating a homeland[br]for Jews in the land of Palestine.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
253[br]00:17:58,673 --> 00:18:01,252[br]And this is really the beginning of the conflict.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

263[br]00:18:25,873 --> 00:18:29,365[br]who had a high level of culture,[br]a high level of education.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
264[br]00:18:29,634 --> 00:18:35,290[br]With farms and markets and[br]towns and villages and roads

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
265[br]00:18:35,361 --> 00:18:38,441[br]and commerce and lots of interaction[br]with the rest of the world.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
266[br]00:18:38,998 --> 00:18:42,677[br]The population was overwhelmingly,[br]overwhelmingly Arab.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
27[br]00:02:00,631 --> 00:02:03,209[br]*This year will be a year of violence.*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
270[br]00:18:53,439 --> 00:18:58,220[br]Jewish immigration increased under[br]British rule following World War I

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
271[br]00:18:58,464 --> 00:19:04,648[br]when Britain implemented the Balfour Declaration,[br]promising a Jewish homeland in Palestine.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
272[br]00:19:05,058 --> 00:19:09,275[br]This measure conflicted with Britain's[br]previous promise of self-rule

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
273[br]00:19:09,475 --> 00:19:12,318[br]for Arab inhabitants throughout the region.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
274[br]00:19:13,646 --> 00:19:17,481[br]Britain was basically extremely[br]supportive of the Zionist movement.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
275[br]00:19:17,650 --> 00:19:21,001[br]It helped to establish[br]all of the structures of a state.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
276[br]00:19:21,352 --> 00:19:25,875[br]At the same time, the Arabs of Palestine[br]were denied the right of self-determination.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
279[br]00:19:32,071 --> 00:19:37,594[br]The Palestinians saw a European power[br]decide the future of a non-European territory

28[br]00:02:05,710 --> 00:02:09,803[br]*This year coming, the keynote is violence*[br]*and the slogan is attack!*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
280[br]00:19:38,137 --> 00:19:41,971[br]in flat disregard of both their[br]presence and wishes.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
281[br]00:19:42,191 --> 00:19:46,883[br]In the 1920s, as land was being[br]stripped away from local residents,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
282[br]00:19:47,149 --> 00:19:51,000[br]the first clashes between[br]Palestinians and Jews began,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
283[br]00:19:51,273 --> 00:19:53,917[br]and would continue on for years to come.

285[br]00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:06,922[br]Until the early 1930s, the Jewish population[br]of Palestine remained under 17 percent.

288[br]00:20:12,949 --> 00:20:16,606[br]Hitler's rise to power in Germany[br]completely changed that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
289[br]00:20:17,239 --> 00:20:18,585[br]In just five years,

290[br]00:20:18,650 --> 00:20:24,302[br]174,000 Jews flooded into Palestine,[br]doubling their population.

291[br]00:20:24,592 --> 00:20:27,694[br]1932 - 1936[br]174,000 additional Jews immigrants arrive

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
293[br]00:20:35,628 --> 00:20:40,948[br]As the world attempted to make amends[br]for the horrors of Nazi genocidal policies,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
294[br]00:20:41,401 --> 00:20:45,891[br]efforts to make Palestine[br]a Jewish homeland increased.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
295[br]00:20:46,234 --> 00:20:48,632[br]The Palestinians, they were not the Nazis.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
296[br]00:20:48,774 --> 00:20:51,546[br]They were not responsible for the Holocaust.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
297[br]00:20:51,804 --> 00:20:54,469[br]But they were the ones who paid the price.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
298[br]00:20:55,193 --> 00:20:59,873[br]In 1947, with the conflict spiraling out of control,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
299[br]00:21:00,060 --> 00:21:05,020[br]Britain decided to turn the problem of[br]Palestine over to the United Nations.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
300[br]00:21:05,599 --> 00:21:10,985[br]The UN, under pressure, proposed[br]to divide the land into two states:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
301[br]00:21:11,130 --> 00:21:13,860[br]An Arab state and a Jewish state.

302[br]00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,026[br]Arabs were to be given[br]43 percent of the land,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
303[br]00:21:17,169 --> 00:21:21,128[br]despite the fact that they made up[br]more than two thirds of the population

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
304[br]00:21:21,273 --> 00:21:24,538[br]and owned over 92 percent of the land.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
305[br]00:21:24,677 --> 00:21:27,271[br]Jews were to be given 56 percent,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
306[br]00:21:27,413 --> 00:21:30,780[br]although they comprised only[br]one third of the population

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
307[br]00:21:30,916 --> 00:21:34,352[br]and owned less than eight percent[br]of the total area.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
308[br]00:21:34,988 --> 00:21:39,347[br]Nevertheless, they were given not only most of[br]the land, they were given the most fertile land.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
309[br]00:21:40,292 --> 00:21:44,888[br]Zionist leaders took advantage[br]of their superior military preparation

310[br]00:21:45,031 --> 00:21:49,730[br]and immediately began occupying[br]major Arab cities in Palestine.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
311[br]00:22:01,822 --> 00:22:04,869[br]I was among the people that conquered Acre

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
312[br]00:22:05,011 --> 00:22:06,653[br]we were walking around

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
313[br]00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,697[br]we entered a flat

317[br]00:22:13,972 --> 00:22:16,489[br]they didn't have time to put on the shoes

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
318[br]00:22:16,589 --> 00:22:18,775[br]so they left the shoes and they run away

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
319[br]00:22:19,186 --> 00:22:20,795[br]they left everything

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
320[br]00:22:28,937 --> 00:22:33,504[br]we found out there was a systematic[br]expulsion of Palestinians

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
321[br]00:22:33,604 --> 00:22:35,290[br]and there was, as I said, there was an

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
324[br]00:22:38,250 --> 00:22:43,585[br]The most infamous campaign was the[br]massacre at the village of Deir Yassin

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
325[br]00:22:43,867 --> 00:22:49,146[br]where over 100 men, women, and[br]children were systematically murdered.

326[br]00:22:49,382 --> 00:22:54,782[br]Me, my children and my brother[br]were hiding in this house.

327[br]00:22:54,869 --> 00:22:58,659[br]My brother spent the night[br]in order to keep us company

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
328[br]00:22:58,759 --> 00:23:05,390[br]They threw bombs at our home and[br]my children an I got wounded

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
329[br]00:23:05,490 --> 00:23:10,474[br]when things calmed down the Jews[br]broke the door down and took us out

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
330[br]00:23:10,574 --> 00:23:15,089[br]they started to beat up my brother Musa severely

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
331[br]00:23:15,189 --> 00:23:21,798[br]I gave a solder some money so[br]that he wouldn't kill Musa

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
332[br]00:23:21,898 --> 00:23:26,839[br]he took the money and said: you[br]are kind-hearted. I will show you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
333[br]00:23:26,939 --> 00:23:30,524[br]what I will do to your brother

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
334[br]00:23:30,624 --> 00:23:34,735[br]he threw him to the ground and[br]my brother fell down like this

335[br]00:23:35,135 --> 00:23:39,891[br]the soldier then pointed his gun to[br]Musa's head and shot him five times

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
336[br]00:23:40,572 --> 00:23:44,282[br]The majority of her family members[br]and relatives were killed.

337[br]00:23:44,786 --> 00:23:49,386[br]Which include her two sons and one[br]stepson, her father and mother,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
339[br]00:23:54,693 --> 00:24:01,318[br]The ruthlessness of the attack on Deir Yassin drove[br]fear and panic into the Palestinian population

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
34[br]00:03:00,107 --> 00:03:03,270[br]*There must be someone somewhere.*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
340[br]00:24:01,634 --> 00:24:06,173[br]and led to the flight of unarmed civilians[br]from their homes all over the country.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
341[br]00:24:14,613 --> 00:24:19,917[br]As a result, maybe three hundred-or-so-thousand[br]Palestinians had already been expelled

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
342[br]00:24:20,052 --> 00:24:22,973[br]before the first Arab soldier entered Palestine.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
344[br]00:24:28,961 --> 00:24:31,304[br]when Israel officially announced its statehood.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
345[br]00:24:32,829 --> 00:24:35,711[br]Although there was a lot of[br]war rhetoric on the arab side

346[br]00:24:35,743 --> 00:24:39,680[br]very few Arab soldiers were[br]sent into the battle field.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
347[br]00:24:40,065 --> 00:24:42,658[br]And actually for most part of the war

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
348[br]00:24:42,773 --> 00:24:47,584[br]there was superiority on the side of the Israeli army.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
353[br]00:25:01,493 --> 00:25:06,461[br]The new state of Israel encompassed 78[br]percent of the total land of Palestine.

357[br]00:25:19,511 --> 00:25:21,638[br]true peace remained elusive,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
358[br]00:25:21,780 --> 00:25:28,083[br]as over 700,000 Palestinian refugees[br]languished in nearby camps,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
359[br]00:25:28,220 --> 00:25:33,866[br]often in sight of homes to which they still[br]held the deeds and a deep desire to return.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
36[br]00:03:14,361 --> 00:03:17,419[br]*Young David took that one small stone*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
360[br]00:25:34,484 --> 00:25:37,033[br]Most of the deserted and evicted

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
361[br]00:25:37,133 --> 00:25:39,299[br]Palestinians villages were erased from

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
362[br]00:25:39,399 --> 00:25:41,459[br]upon the earth and were either turned into

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
363[br]00:25:41,559 --> 00:25:45,332[br]Jewish settlements or into fertile land.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
364[br]00:25:45,537 --> 00:25:51,826[br]Of the 500 Palestinian villages, in what[br]became Israel in 1948, 400 were destroyed.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
365[br]00:25:53,012 --> 00:25:56,971[br]These efforts to destroy the[br]possibility of their returning home

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
366[br]00:25:57,116 --> 00:25:59,914[br]were countered by the United Nations,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
367[br]00:26:00,052 --> 00:26:02,612[br]which continues to affirm their human right

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
368[br]00:26:02,755 --> 00:26:06,782[br]enshrined in international[br]law and morality, to return.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
37[br]00:03:17,824 --> 00:03:19,778[br]*and the faith of his God*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
370[br]00:26:10,996 --> 00:26:14,693[br]as the result of the creation of Israel in 1948,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
371[br]00:26:14,833 --> 00:26:17,001[br]cannot come back even for a visit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
375[br]00:26:26,512 --> 00:26:31,211[br]knowing no one in the country,[br]having no family who ever was there.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
376[br]00:26:31,350 --> 00:26:36,845[br]All that one needs is being Jewish,[br]a religious group, like any other.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
377[br]00:26:44,032 --> 00:26:47,196[br]I am from Al-Quds (Jerusalem), I am a witness

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
378[br]00:26:47,289 --> 00:26:49,648[br]I know the Arabs, the Arabs are very good

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
379[br]00:26:49,813 --> 00:26:52,914[br]no problem until the Zionist movement start

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
38[br]00:03:20,127 --> 00:03:23,270[br]*and slay the giant Goliath!*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
381[br]00:26:55,052 --> 00:26:57,571[br]before the Zionist movement start

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
383[br]00:27:05,687 --> 00:27:07,983[br]they borrow both from each other

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
384[br]00:27:08,059 --> 00:27:11,663[br]like brothers

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
385[br]00:27:15,283 --> 00:27:18,632[br]the idea of Zionism, you take away land

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
386[br]00:27:18,769 --> 00:27:20,464[br]from the Palestinians, from the Arabs

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
387[br]00:27:20,525 --> 00:27:22,394[br]started all the fighting

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
388[br]00:27:22,419 --> 00:27:23,619[br]not Arabs the problem

389[br]00:27:23,644 --> 00:27:25,587[br]not Jews the problem, not Judaism

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
39[br]00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:34,236[br]*Cry out!*

390[br]00:27:25,612 --> 00:27:26,876[br]not Muslim

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
391[br]00:27:27,121 --> 00:27:28,933[br]only Zionism

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
392[br]00:27:36,448 --> 00:27:40,782[br]The events of 1948 were a defining[br]moment for the Middle East,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
393[br]00:27:40,919 --> 00:27:45,822[br]and from that point onward, created[br]instability throughout the region.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
394[br]00:27:45,958 --> 00:27:51,157[br]Violent tensions continued[br]and led to another war in 1967.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
395[br]00:27:56,735 --> 00:28:01,263[br]In that war, Israel occupied[br]the remainder of historic Palestine,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
396[br]00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,050[br]what is known today[br]as the West Bank and Gaza.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
397[br]00:28:06,003 --> 00:28:09,518[br]Another myth was that Israel was[br]about to be pushed into the sea.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
399[br]00:28:09,596 --> 00:28:11,810[br]But I was working in the[br]State Department at that time.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
4[br]00:00:10,569 --> 00:00:15,224[br]Any violence by a large population

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
40[br]00:03:50,671 --> 00:03:52,585[br]Occupation 101[br].

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
400[br]00:28:11,950 --> 00:28:14,887[br]There was no question of Israel[br]being pushed into the sea.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
401[br]00:28:15,020 --> 00:28:19,047[br]The question was just the rapidity of[br]the totalness of the Israeli victory,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
402[br]00:28:19,191 --> 00:28:21,421[br]and the victory was crushing.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
403[br]00:28:22,169 --> 00:28:28,447[br]During the 1967 war,[br]Israel displaced more than 400,000 Palestinians

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
404[br]00:28:29,540 --> 00:28:36,313[br]half of whom were 1948 refugees, displaced[br]for a second time, in less than two decades.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
405[br]00:28:38,377 --> 00:28:42,404[br]It became clear that the world[br]was not going to address their plight.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
406[br]00:28:42,548 --> 00:28:48,227[br]Palestinians in Israel lived as third class citizens[br]of a state whose core identity excluded them,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
407[br]00:28:48,554 --> 00:28:54,718[br]while those in the newly occupied territories[br]and abroad continued as dispossessed refugees.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
408[br]00:28:55,494 --> 00:29:00,173[br]The United Nations passed resolution after[br]resolution, affirming their rights.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
409[br]00:29:00,462 --> 00:29:06,055[br]Leaders of surrounding Arab nations verbally[br]championed their cause but failed to take action.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
41[br]00:03:52,585 --> 00:03:55,546[br]Occupation 101[br]voices of the silenced majority

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
410[br]00:29:06,704 --> 00:29:10,304[br]Finally, Palestinians took[br]matters into their own hands.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
411[br]00:29:10,442 --> 00:29:14,879[br]There was a mass uprising, in Arabic,[br]an "Intifada," "shaking off",

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
412[br]00:29:15,013 --> 00:29:18,505[br]as people throughout the West Bank[br]and Gaza Strip rebelled.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
413[br]00:29:25,757 --> 00:29:30,936[br]The Israeli government adopted a strategy[br]in the words of Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
414[br]00:29:31,096 --> 00:29:33,189[br]of "might, power, and beatings"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
415[br]00:29:33,332 --> 00:29:37,166[br]which became known as the[br]"Break the Bones Strategy."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
416[br]00:29:59,686 --> 00:30:07,019[br]Thousands of Palestinians were rounded up[br]and imprisoned; since 1967, over 400,000.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
417[br]00:30:07,699 --> 00:30:11,999[br]Many were held without any charges[br]whatsoever, under harsh conditions,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
418[br]00:30:12,137 --> 00:30:15,402[br]where physical abuse[br]and torture were rampant.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
419[br]00:30:20,409 --> 00:30:22,109[br]During the first Intifada (Uprising)[br]Dec 1987 to Dec 1993

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
42[br]00:03:58,231 --> 00:04:00,392[br]1947[br]*A Pathe dispatcher shows the scene in Jerusalem*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
420[br]00:30:22,157 --> 00:30:24,357[br]Palestinian civilians killed = 1,100[br]250 of them were minors.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
421[br]00:30:24,431 --> 00:30:26,631[br]Jewish civilians killed = 114[br]5 of them were minors.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
422[br]00:30:27,241 --> 00:30:30,656[br]By the end of 1993, the first[br]intifada began to wind down.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
423[br]00:30:30,796 --> 00:30:34,221[br]For the next seven years the Palestinians[br]entered into a peace process with Israel.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
424[br]00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,959[br]Today, we bear witness to an extraordinary act

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
425[br]00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:43,997[br]in one of history's defining dramas.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
426[br]00:30:44,184 --> 00:30:46,860[br]The Oslo process begins officially with[br]the handshake on the White House lawn.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
427[br]00:30:58,917 --> 00:31:03,768[br]I think the main misconception is the[br]years of Oslo were years of peace.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
429[br]00:31:04,690 --> 00:31:08,908[br]And in that period, when there was[br]supposed to be a peace process underway,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
43[br]00:04:00,777 --> 00:04:03,949[br]*as Jewish and Arab mobs*[br]*clashed in the center of the city.*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
430[br]00:31:08,961 --> 00:31:13,617[br]in fact, the daily lives of Palestinians,[br]throughout the occupied territories

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
431[br]00:31:13,708 --> 00:31:15,812[br]got worse and worse and worse.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
432[br]00:31:17,259 --> 00:31:19,233[br]The reality, and I saw it with my own eyes

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
433[br]00:31:19,371 --> 00:31:23,683[br]that this was a new form of Israeli[br]domination over Palestinians.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
434[br]00:31:26,645 --> 00:31:31,105[br]Economic and social rights, which are rights[br]to health, education, work, etc.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
437[br]00:31:35,694 --> 00:31:37,022[br]almost all Palestinians.

438[br]00:31:38,290 --> 00:31:43,801[br]All the economic indicators turned for the[br]worse under Oslo, during this peace process.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
44[br]00:04:04,359 --> 00:04:05,539[br]*It remains to be seen*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
440[br]00:31:44,019 --> 00:31:48,362[br]Moreover, Israeli settlements have continued[br]to expand throughout that period.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
441[br]00:31:48,810 --> 00:31:52,632[br]Israeli settlements doubled in size and population.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
442[br]00:31:53,060 --> 00:31:56,382[br]The number of Jewish settlers[br]increased from 200,000 to 400,000.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
443[br]00:31:56,541 --> 00:31:59,942[br]At the same time that Israeli control was expanding

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
444[br]00:32:00,078 --> 00:32:03,241[br]the Palestinian authority was[br]given the trappings of power

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
445[br]00:32:03,382 --> 00:32:07,182[br]over the shrinking and[br]noncontiguous Palestinian land

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
446[br]00:32:07,319 --> 00:32:10,379[br]being held out as a[br]future Palestinian state.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
447[br]00:32:10,956 --> 00:32:16,401[br]The challenges of governing, for the Palestine[br]authority, are extraordinarily complex.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
448[br]00:32:16,595 --> 00:32:19,621[br]This is an authority that[br]has very little authority.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
449[br]00:32:19,765 --> 00:32:23,272[br]It has virtually no power.[br]Its power is derivative.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
45[br]00:04:05,594 --> 00:04:08,798[br]*whether a threatened full-scale[br]war will materialize.*

450[br]00:32:23,616 --> 00:32:26,694[br]It has the power that is given to it by Israel.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
451[br]00:32:27,005 --> 00:32:30,616[br]And, at any moment, any of those[br]powers can be taken away.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
452[br]00:32:32,310 --> 00:32:36,864[br]It was very convenient to believe that there[br]is no occupation, that the occupation is over.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
453[br]00:32:38,708 --> 00:32:41,751[br]How many aspects in your life[br]somebody else determines for you?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
454[br]00:32:41,887 --> 00:32:43,514[br]This is occupation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
455[br]00:32:43,655 --> 00:32:47,426[br]And Israel could determine,[br]in the last ten years, could determine everything.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
456[br]00:32:48,460 --> 00:32:51,793[br]But everybody heard Arafat[br]saying ten times, a hundred times,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
457[br]00:32:51,930 --> 00:32:54,687[br]that Ramallah is liberated and Gaza is liberated.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
458[br]00:32:54,773 --> 00:32:58,116[br]How can it be liberated[br]if there is an army around it?

46[br]00:04:09,192 --> 00:04:11,346[br]2004[br]*Soldiers take over homes and*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
460[br]00:33:02,941 --> 00:33:08,409[br]The Palestinian officials spoke very warmly[br]about the situation, about the reality,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
461[br]00:33:08,550 --> 00:33:10,209[br]and they were hiding the fact,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
462[br]00:33:10,348 --> 00:33:14,206[br]that for the great majority of the[br]population, these years were a disaster.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
463[br]00:33:17,956 --> 00:33:22,252[br]Those abuses, those violations of the[br]public trust, had been happening regularly,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
464[br]00:33:22,427 --> 00:33:23,909[br]since the Oslo process began.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
465[br]00:33:24,041 --> 00:33:28,103[br]Palestinians who would protest against[br]Oslo were labeled as terrorists.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
466[br]00:33:28,353 --> 00:33:30,329[br]The authority would not allow it, The PA.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
467[br]00:33:30,430 --> 00:33:34,860[br]Instead of having a real national authority,[br]you had this corrupt institution,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
468[br]00:33:34,940 --> 00:33:38,301[br]whose main task, as far as Israel was[br]concerned, was to police the Palestinians

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
469[br]00:33:38,510 --> 00:33:41,611[br]and prevent them from resisting[br]the continuing occupation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
47[br]00:04:11,408 --> 00:04:13,898[br]*snipers don't hesitate to shoot at*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
470[br]00:33:42,470 --> 00:33:48,462[br]It has wasted a lot of the money the[br]international community has given it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
472[br]00:33:48,787 --> 00:33:53,781[br]One sees the villas of leading[br]Palestinian officials

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
473[br]00:33:53,925 --> 00:33:59,736[br]and the poverty with which[br]the Palestinian masses are living in.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
474[br]00:34:00,631 --> 00:34:05,787[br]The performance of the PLO in[br]running the Palestinian authority

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
476[br]00:34:06,104 --> 00:34:08,800[br]and its failures in negotiating with Israel,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
477[br]00:34:08,940 --> 00:34:13,017[br]have very much diminished[br]support for the PLO leadership.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
478[br]00:34:14,386 --> 00:34:19,256[br]In January 2006, elections were held and the[br]Palestinians voted PLO led government out of office

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
479[br]00:34:19,424 --> 00:34:24,301[br]giving Hamas the required seats[br]to form a majority government.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
48[br]00:04:13,998 --> 00:04:16,841[br]*anything that moves in front of them*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
480[br]00:34:25,556 --> 00:34:30,016[br]While Americans were being told by the media[br]that a peace process was moving forward,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
481[br]00:34:30,189 --> 00:34:33,428[br]Israel continued its policy of home demolitions.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
482[br]00:34:34,123 --> 00:34:39,471[br]Since 1967, about 12,000 Palestinian[br]homes have been demolished.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
483[br]00:34:40,629 --> 00:34:46,031[br]More than 740 of those homes were[br]demolished during the Oslo Peace Process.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
484[br]00:34:48,046 --> 00:34:52,827[br]What you've got to have, and I think it's a[br]fair demand on the part of Palestinians, that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
486[br]00:34:52,936 --> 00:34:59,279[br]during the process of negotiation, you're not turning[br]over more and more territory to Israeli settlers

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
487[br]00:34:59,424 --> 00:35:03,775[br]and changing the character of the land that[br]you're supposed to be negotiating about.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
488[br]00:35:04,362 --> 00:35:07,338[br]The notion that this is going[br]to be a negotiable question

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
489[br]00:35:08,330 --> 00:35:14,259[br]does not ring true to any Palestinian who[br]lives up against one of these settlements;

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
49[br]00:04:16,941 --> 00:04:19,563[br]*which includes journalists as well.*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
490[br]00:35:14,306 --> 00:35:15,967[br]which are continually expanding.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
491[br]00:35:16,107 --> 00:35:20,036[br]And what does it mean to expand?[br]It means you steal more land.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
493[br]00:35:28,030 --> 00:35:32,615[br]The Israeli authorities have confiscated[br]countless acres of their farmland.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
494[br]00:35:35,029 --> 00:35:37,700[br]Look at the beautiful trees

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
495[br]00:35:37,761 --> 00:35:39,486[br]that used to be in this area.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
496[br]00:35:42,907 --> 00:35:45,218[br]Basically I had cultivated a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
497[br]00:35:45,686 --> 00:35:47,439[br]garden of heaven on earth.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
498[br]00:35:50,206 --> 00:35:54,741[br]And look, instead of this heaven what they have done

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
499[br]00:35:55,357 --> 00:35:58,754[br]I wish you can just see what they've done here

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
5[br]00:00:15,934 --> 00:00:19,832[br]is not because these people are[br]more violent than any other.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
50[br]00:04:19,706 --> 00:04:20,643[br]As a journalist,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
501[br]00:36:06,587 --> 00:36:14,403[br]Look how the trees continue[br]to grow underneath the rocks

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
502[br]00:36:15,213 --> 00:36:17,037[br]Isn't this a sin!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
503[br]00:36:18,143 --> 00:36:22,924[br]How can a human being that mentions God, do this?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
504[br]00:36:27,781 --> 00:36:29,805[br]This here is our food supply

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
505[br]00:36:29,887 --> 00:36:33,711[br]we don't have anything important from anywhere.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
506[br]00:36:34,662 --> 00:36:38,019[br]And we wait for God's mercy! what else can we do?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
507[br]00:36:50,669 --> 00:36:55,684[br]These settlers live and prosper at[br]the expense of the Palestinians,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
509[br]00:36:55,785 --> 00:37:00,316[br]and the Palestinians' well-being, present[br]well-being and future well-being.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
51[br]00:04:20,792 --> 00:04:24,104[br]the more you look into the[br]issue of Israel and Palestine,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
510[br]00:37:00,450 --> 00:37:07,452[br]And they don't see this horrible,[br]disproportionate allocation of resources

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
512[br]00:37:07,519 --> 00:37:12,684[br]where Jewish settlers get water and[br]electricity and gas, garbage pickup,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
513[br]00:37:12,824 --> 00:37:16,658[br]all kinds of things that their[br]Palestinian neighbors don't get,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
514[br]00:37:16,795 --> 00:37:19,218[br]because of the military occupation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
515[br]00:37:21,148 --> 00:37:27,062[br]That village over there isn't allowed to visit us

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
516[br]00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,468[br]Look, do you see anyone outside?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
517[br]00:37:32,250 --> 00:37:36,390[br]Not even one Arab is outside!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
518[br]00:37:38,437 --> 00:37:40,015[br]If this car wasn't Israeli

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
519[br]00:37:40,304 --> 00:37:42,151[br]it wouldn't allowed on the road

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
52[br]00:04:24,304 --> 00:04:27,364[br]the more you sense that[br]something is not quite right.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
520[br]00:37:42,721 --> 00:37:49,135[br]They lost the middle of the valley for a bypass[br]road which is now an Israeli-only bypass road.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
521[br]00:37:49,194 --> 00:37:51,822[br]They can't drive on it to go to their homes.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
522[br]00:37:51,963 --> 00:37:54,509[br]The thing is extremely ugly to watch.

524[br]00:37:54,799 --> 00:37:57,767[br]This is just day to day life.[br]I'm not talking about the fighting here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
525[br]00:37:58,036 --> 00:38:01,096[br]I mean, you walk through Hebron;[br]you've got an Arab city;

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
526[br]00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,639[br]100,000 Arabs;[br]a couple hundred Jews;

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
527[br]00:38:03,775 --> 00:38:06,209[br]and settlers walking around with rifles, you know?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
528[br]00:38:06,344 --> 00:38:08,039[br]Looking as if they own the place.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
529[br]00:38:10,648 --> 00:38:14,929[br]The settlers can go in a Palestinian[br]village and burn the fields there,

531[br]00:38:18,590 --> 00:38:22,043[br]Several of the women have been beaten[br]by settlers on different occasions.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
532[br]00:38:22,327 --> 00:38:26,436[br]In each of those cases, we were just being[br]a nonviolent presence on the street

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
535[br]00:38:29,401 --> 00:38:32,427[br]And they just attacked different ones of us.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
536[br]00:38:32,717 --> 00:38:33,917[br]From what we've told you, we only

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
537[br]00:38:33,942 --> 00:38:36,427[br]mentioned a fraction of what happens

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
538[br]00:38:37,780 --> 00:38:40,442[br]The Israeli government is not doing anything

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
539[br]00:38:40,677 --> 00:38:45,512[br]to try and stop the settlers from[br]violating Palestinian rights.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
542[br]00:39:01,266 --> 00:39:03,029[br]that they received from the court.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
545[br]00:39:06,817 --> 00:39:11,672[br]Like one case, the settlers went and[br]took a house, Palestinian house,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
546[br]00:39:11,731 --> 00:39:13,270[br]and just said, "Well, now it's ours."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
547[br]00:39:13,344 --> 00:39:18,179[br]So the border police stood down there to protect[br]them, because the Palestinians were angry;

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
548[br]00:39:18,249 --> 00:39:21,589[br]so the border police just stood[br]there and protected the settlers,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
549[br]00:39:21,894 --> 00:39:25,058[br]instead of, of course, arresting them,[br]just saying it's illegal.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
55[br]00:04:30,694 --> 00:04:33,685[br]a little like a foreign film[br]that has been awkwardly dubbed.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
550[br]00:39:25,156 --> 00:39:28,577[br]The bottom line is to make things[br]so difficult for the Palestinians

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
551[br]00:39:25,156 --> 00:39:30,398[br]Jeff Halper[br]Israeli Committee Against Home Demolition[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
552[br]00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,658[br]that anybody that wants a future for their children,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
553[br]00:39:31,796 --> 00:39:33,286[br]anybody that wants to get ahead in life,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
554[br]00:39:33,352 --> 00:39:35,734[br]anybody that wants a normal life,[br]will leave.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
555[br]00:39:36,141 --> 00:39:40,881[br]Why would anyone who owns a heaven like this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
556[br]00:39:41,180 --> 00:39:44,867[br]abandon it and leave?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
557[br]00:39:44,991 --> 00:39:48,211[br]Where else would we go?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
558[br]00:39:52,750 --> 00:39:56,584[br]The Jabber family continues to[br]live under constant harassment.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
559[br]00:39:56,721 --> 00:39:59,383[br]Most recently, Abdul Jawad broke his leg

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
56[br]00:04:34,085 --> 00:04:37,702[br]*Damaged homes and roads destroyed*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
560[br]00:39:59,524 --> 00:40:03,059[br]while trying to protect his[br]grandchildren from settler attacks.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
561[br]00:40:04,534 --> 00:40:08,114[br]Many of us feel hostage, that we're[br]held hostage to the settlers.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
562[br]00:40:07,878 --> 00:40:12,798[br]Jeff Halper[br]Professor of Anthropology - Ben Gurion U.[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
563[br]00:40:08,473 --> 00:40:12,882[br]Because I think the vast majority of Israelis[br]don't care about the occupied territories.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
564[br]00:40:12,997 --> 00:40:14,575[br]But we're held hostage to the settlers

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
565[br]00:40:14,606 --> 00:40:18,450[br]that have enough political power[br]within the Israeli political system,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
566[br]00:40:18,550 --> 00:40:20,820[br]that they can frustrate any[br]attempt to get them out.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
567[br]00:40:20,845 --> 00:40:23,930[br]And as long as they're there,[br]the Palestinians can't possibly make peace.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
568[br]00:40:24,261 --> 00:40:27,145[br]There are two kind of settlers basically

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
569[br]00:40:24,261 --> 00:40:29,424[br]Adam Keller[br]Gush Shalom - Israeli Peace Group[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
57[br]00:04:37,977 --> 00:04:41,146[br]*and only skeletal remains of cars*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
570[br]00:40:27,195 --> 00:40:30,308[br]there are the ideological settlers

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
571[br]00:40:31,424 --> 00:40:34,861[br]who feel that these territories

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
572[br]00:40:35,290 --> 00:40:37,885[br]have been promised to the Jewish people by God.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
573[br]00:40:38,125 --> 00:40:40,204[br]And they feel that every place

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
574[br]00:40:40,274 --> 00:40:41,657[br]which is mentioned in the Bible

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
575[br]00:40:41,682 --> 00:40:44,017[br]they have not only the right but

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
576[br]00:40:44,109 --> 00:40:47,252[br]a scared duty to come and to build

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
577[br]00:40:47,277 --> 00:40:50,101[br]a modern Jewish settlement and if

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
578[br]00:40:50,215 --> 00:40:52,181[br]Palestinians who live on that spot

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
579[br]00:40:52,447 --> 00:40:54,127[br]have other ideas than they have

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
58[br]00:04:41,171 --> 00:04:44,084[br]*even food and medicine are ever scarce.*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
580[br]00:40:54,175 --> 00:40:56,080[br]the right to break their resistance

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
581[br]00:40:56,153 --> 00:40:58,284[br]by force or to call in the army.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
582[br]00:40:59,223 --> 00:41:02,846[br]And the other kind which are the majority

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
583[br]00:41:02,862 --> 00:41:05,113[br]of the settlers are in fact ordinary

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
584[br]00:41:05,138 --> 00:41:06,799[br]Israelis who came there simply because

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
585[br]00:41:06,861 --> 00:41:09,205[br]the government was offering them

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
586[br]00:41:09,253 --> 00:41:10,956[br]very cheap housing and when you go

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
587[br]00:41:10,981 --> 00:41:12,612[br]to live there most of the money

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
588[br]00:41:12,635 --> 00:41:15,081[br]you get as a government loan and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
589[br]00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:16,711[br]if you stay there ten years then

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
59[br]00:04:44,745 --> 00:04:47,145[br]As you look into it for yourself,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
590[br]00:41:16,792 --> 00:41:18,392[br]you don't have to pay back the loan.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
591[br]00:41:19,108 --> 00:41:23,085[br]Only 10% of the West Bank is[br]populated with Jewish settlers

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
592[br]00:41:23,140 --> 00:41:28,462[br]yet they enjoy superior privileges at the[br]expense of the native Palestinian population.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
593[br]00:41:29,015 --> 00:41:34,211[br]Well, I think the unpleasant[br]and unavoidable comparison

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
594[br]00:41:29,992 --> 00:41:32,837[br]Richard Falk[br]U.N. Human Rights Fact-finding Commission[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
595[br]00:41:34,252 --> 00:41:37,811[br]is with South Africa during the apartheid period.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
596[br]00:41:38,189 --> 00:41:42,091[br]And I must say that, having visited South Africa,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
597[br]00:41:42,455 --> 00:41:49,980[br]that they were much better off than the[br]Palestinians living in the refugee camps.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
598[br]00:43:04,973 --> 00:43:09,598[br]We went to jail because it was impossible

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
599[br]00:43:09,708 --> 00:43:14,327[br]to sit still while the obscenity of the apartheid system

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
6[br]00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,902[br]It's an alarm, it's a sign, it's a signal

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
60[br]00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:51,808[br]you begin to suspect that there is[br]something extremely odd going on.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
600[br]00:43:14,352 --> 00:43:17,194[br]was being imposed on our people.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
601[br]00:43:28,128 --> 00:43:32,862[br]The United States is seen, quite correctly,[br]as being the sole supporter of Israel,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
602[br]00:43:31,050 --> 00:43:36,397[br]James Akins[br]Former U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
603[br]00:43:33,191 --> 00:43:37,105[br]and that Israel would not be able to do what[br]it is doing without American green light.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
604[br]00:43:37,685 --> 00:43:43,817[br]The US-Israel relationship[br]is really unique on Capital Hill.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
605[br]00:43:44,849 --> 00:43:50,048[br]In my 22 years that I served there,[br]there was never a moment

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
606[br]00:43:47,130 --> 00:43:51,427[br]Paul Findley[br]Former U.S. Congressman[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
607[br]00:43:50,220 --> 00:43:54,759[br]when there was really a debate about[br]US policy in the Middle East.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
608[br]00:43:55,610 --> 00:43:58,101[br]It was always,[br]"What does Israel want?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
609[br]00:43:58,188 --> 00:44:04,079[br]And almost always, Congress gave them exactly[br]what they wanted without any debate,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
61[br]00:04:53,712 --> 00:04:57,842[br]The more you look into it,[br]the more you begin to feel it is not just odd,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
610[br]00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,729[br]without any amendments being considered.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
611[br]00:44:07,362 --> 00:44:12,831[br]This type of policy exists as a[br]result of a number of factors.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
612[br]00:44:13,752 --> 00:44:18,431[br]First of all, there is the lobby,[br]the US lobby, for Israel:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
613[br]00:44:18,916 --> 00:44:22,595[br]AIPAC, American Israeli[br]Public Affairs Committee.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
614[br]00:44:22,774 --> 00:44:25,250[br]It has a multi-million dollar budget.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
615[br]00:44:25,288 --> 00:44:29,832[br]It has a highly professional group[br]of people working on Capitol Hill.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
616[br]00:44:29,855 --> 00:44:33,258[br]They know the legislative process,[br]they know the personalities,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
617[br]00:44:33,399 --> 00:44:36,672[br]and therefore, advance what's[br]best for the state of Israel.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
618[br]00:44:36,790 --> 00:44:39,790[br]Congress seems to think that if[br]you oppose what Israel wants

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
619[br]00:44:39,790 --> 00:44:41,868[br]you'll be defeated in the next election.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
62[br]00:04:58,125 --> 00:04:59,907[br]it is deeply disturbing.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
620[br]00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:46,735[br]From 1978 - 2006 Pro-Israeli[br]Political Action Committees

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
621[br]00:44:46,844 --> 00:44:51,790[br]have contributed $43,724,035 to candidates who vote[br]in Congress according ti AIPAC's recommendations.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
622[br]00:44:52,703 --> 00:44:58,453[br]Another factor is the[br]fundamentalist Christian community.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
623[br]00:44:59,059 --> 00:45:04,710[br]Fundamentalists are often represented[br]by the televangelists that are on TV.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
624[br]00:45:04,820 --> 00:45:08,780[br]They believe that a strong[br]Israel is a part of God's plan.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
625[br]00:45:09,023 --> 00:45:13,882[br]They believe that the day will come[br]when a battle will occur

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
626[br]00:45:14,193 --> 00:45:17,083[br]on the plain of Armageddon in the Middle East.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
627[br]00:45:17,262 --> 00:45:21,347[br]There will be the forces of truth[br]and righteousness on one side,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
628[br]00:45:21,402 --> 00:45:23,301[br]the force of evil on the other side.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
629[br]00:45:23,582 --> 00:45:30,050[br]And in that struggle, the Christian forces, led by[br]the second coming of Jesus Christ, will prevail.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
63[br]00:05:07,034 --> 00:05:09,362[br]Our media portray Mid-East violence

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
630[br]00:45:30,558 --> 00:45:36,894[br]All of the Jews will be either destroyed[br]or converted instantly to Christianity.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
631[br]00:45:37,104 --> 00:45:42,573[br]It may sound, to the viewer,[br]as a very far-out notion.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
632[br]00:45:38,346 --> 00:45:42,545[br]Paul Findley[br]Former U.S. Congressman of 22 years[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
633[br]00:45:43,002 --> 00:45:49,555[br]But, believe me, it is widely held and[br]supported by millions of Americans,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
634[br]00:45:49,618 --> 00:45:55,334[br]whose doctrines really, in the ultimate,[br]are hostile to the survival of Jews;

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
635[br]00:45:55,639 --> 00:46:02,107[br]but nevertheless, the supporters of Israel[br]see this vast body of American people

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
636[br]00:46:02,154 --> 00:46:06,807[br]as being a great asset at this time,[br]so they embrace them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
637[br]00:46:07,829 --> 00:46:09,750[br]And Mr. Robertson, who said:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
638[br]00:46:09,828 --> 00:46:12,735[br]"I had a vision from God[br]that we have to support Israel.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
639[br]00:46:12,860 --> 00:46:14,563[br]And no matter what happens,[br]and what they do,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
64[br]00:05:09,626 --> 00:05:13,213[br]as though it's an inherent part[br]of the culture and region,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
640[br]00:46:14,688 --> 00:46:17,250[br]this is the will of God because[br]they're God's chosen people."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
642[br]00:46:19,237 --> 00:46:23,205[br]"And that's when this ministry started really being[br]blessed, when we made that commitment to Israel."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
643[br]00:46:23,252 --> 00:46:25,455[br]Not the commitment to God,[br]or Jesus Christ's teachings,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
644[br]00:46:25,542 --> 00:46:26,603[br]but to Israel.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
645[br]00:46:26,696 --> 00:46:31,883[br]And we have come from all the nations of[br]the Earth, to say to the people of Israel

646[br]00:46:27,236 --> 00:46:32,673[br]Pat Robertson[br]Founder and Chairman, The Christian Broadcasting Network[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
647[br]00:46:31,906 --> 00:46:38,804[br]we're your friends, we're with you, and we believe[br]that you're called by God to posses this land.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
648[br]00:46:38,891 --> 00:46:43,109[br]I, as a Christian, and a Christian[br]pastor, object, not in my name

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
65[br]00:05:13,643 --> 00:05:19,631[br]implying that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is[br]an ancient problem with little hope of solution.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
650[br]00:46:43,178 --> 00:46:47,428[br]and not in the name of over 115[br]to 120 million Christians,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
651[br]00:46:47,567 --> 00:46:51,661[br]do you dare say that we[br]support injustice and deceit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
652[br]00:46:51,783 --> 00:46:52,750[br]We do not.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
653[br]00:46:54,110 --> 00:47:03,631[br]The citizenry of this democratic society is[br]systematically deprived of access to the real facts.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
654[br]00:47:03,857 --> 00:47:08,900[br]The American media play a major role[br]in continuing US support for Israel,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
655[br]00:47:09,064 --> 00:47:11,830[br]through leaving out vast swaths of information.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
656[br]00:47:12,212 --> 00:47:15,275[br]It is the classic case of lying through omission.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
657[br]00:47:15,510 --> 00:47:22,326[br]Major statements by American diplomats, senators,[br]military leaders, are going unreported.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
658[br]00:47:22,650 --> 00:47:25,642[br]Sentences are being removed from news stories.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
659[br]00:47:25,787 --> 00:47:29,189[br]Information is being manipulated.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
66[br]00:05:20,861 --> 00:05:22,935[br]*Israeli soldiers reign destruction*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
660[br]00:47:29,757 --> 00:47:35,382[br]Those are the three factors that[br]work together on Capitol Hill

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
661[br]00:47:35,702 --> 00:47:42,191[br]and lead to such total bias, such total[br]absence of free speech, of open debate,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
662[br]00:47:42,535 --> 00:47:48,511[br]that is, I think, very destructive to our institutions,[br]and to our best interests in world affairs.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
663[br]00:47:48,977 --> 00:47:53,241[br]So Israel, for example, does not[br]abide at all by international law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
664[br]00:47:53,380 --> 00:47:55,569[br]The entire occupation is illegal.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
665[br]00:47:55,850 --> 00:47:59,624[br]It's a violation, in particular,[br]of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
666[br]00:48:02,421 --> 00:48:06,419[br]By the rules of the Fourth Geneva Convention,[br]you're not allowed to build settlements,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
667[br]00:48:06,677 --> 00:48:10,225[br]you're not allowed to build roads,[br]you're not allowed to expropriate land,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
668[br]00:48:10,365 --> 00:48:14,495[br]you're not allowed to deport people, you're not[br]allowed to restrict their freedom of movement,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
669[br]00:48:14,635 --> 00:48:19,388[br]you're not allowed to harm their economy, you're not[br]allowed to make them unemployed and impoverished.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
67[br]00:05:23,035 --> 00:05:25,328[br]*in all areas of the West Bank.*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
670[br]00:48:21,282 --> 00:48:26,278[br]Everything that Israel does in the occupied[br]territories, US taxpayers are paying for it.

686[br]00:50:13,739 --> 00:50:21,077[br]At the same time, it withheld a $3.5 Billion grant[br]to upgrade the training of first responders

696[br]00:51:13,630 --> 00:51:21,608[br]Israel is currently the most extensive[br]violator of UN SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
698[br]00:51:27,372 --> 00:51:29,974[br]To defend Israel violations of international law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
7[br]00:00:23,852 --> 00:00:27,131[br]that something is wrong in the[br]treatment of this population.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
701[br]00:51:45,413 --> 00:51:53,033[br]but it also represents the views of the Pentagon, that[br]sees Israel now as an indispensable strategic ally

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
704[br]00:51:58,659 --> 00:52:04,059[br]The main concern for the United States,[br]like the world, is the oil producing regions.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
709[br]00:52:28,122 --> 00:52:30,750[br]People think, look, Israel was very forthcoming.

711[br]00:52:35,002 --> 00:52:37,948[br]to the Palestinians and they[br]rejected it in violence.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
712[br]00:52:38,839 --> 00:52:42,237[br]The assumption of that 95 percent argument is that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
713[br]00:52:42,354 --> 00:52:46,036[br]getting 95 percent of the land[br]gives you 95 percent sovereignty.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
716[br]00:52:48,442 --> 00:52:51,535[br]But I think it's very useful[br]to think in terms of a prison.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
717[br]00:52:51,779 --> 00:52:56,215[br]If you look at a blueprint of a prison, it[br]looks like the prisoners own the place.

718[br]00:52:56,350 --> 00:52:59,046[br]And the prisoners have 95 percent of the area.

723[br]00:53:11,189 --> 00:53:14,088[br]The average Palestinian didn't think[br]they were throwing anything away

73[br]00:05:38,905 --> 00:05:43,288[br]These mis-perceptions come from the fact that[br]we're only hearing a fraction of the story.

730[br]00:53:29,884 --> 00:53:33,746[br]when next door you have a settlement[br]with a swimming pool and green lawns.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
731[br]00:53:33,888 --> 00:53:35,719[br]So what do you expect people to think?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
732[br]00:53:43,254 --> 00:53:46,972[br]And it was that pressure,[br]that sense of being squeezed

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
734[br]00:53:47,285 --> 00:53:53,873[br]that finally exploded in September of[br]2000, in what became The Second Intifada.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
735[br]00:54:16,931 --> 00:54:23,702[br]What is called "The Second Intifada" is[br]essentially a mobilization of resistance

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
736[br]00:54:23,838 --> 00:54:27,759[br]against this structure of occupation and oppression.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
737[br]00:54:30,458 --> 00:54:37,055[br]Israel, from the very beginning of these[br]demonstrations, had indeed relied on excessive force.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
739[br]00:54:37,184 --> 00:54:41,660[br]They had used live ammunition[br]against unarmed demonstrators,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
74[br]00:05:51,820 --> 00:05:58,062[br]You are about to witness images and testimony,[br]largely hidden from mainstream America.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
740[br]00:54:41,718 --> 00:54:44,269[br]had inflicted several deaths...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
741[br]00:54:48,285 --> 00:54:53,362[br]...and hundreds of causalities in[br]the opening days of the Intifada.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
742[br]00:54:53,610 --> 00:54:55,688[br]In the first 10 days of the uprising alone

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
743[br]00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,884[br]The Israeli security forces killed 74[br]Palestinians and injured nearly 3000.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
744[br]00:55:03,617 --> 00:55:08,247[br]Sometimes, the Israelis are speaking[br]about rubber bullets they used.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
745[br]00:55:08,382 --> 00:55:11,759[br]By the way, it's not rubber.[br]It's steel coated with rubber.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
746[br]00:55:12,250 --> 00:55:17,156[br]This bullet, it killed many of[br]the kids who are demonstrating

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
748[br]00:55:17,174 --> 00:55:20,855[br]and who sometimes while they are throwing stones.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
749[br]00:55:20,995 --> 00:55:23,964[br]As this case, I'll show you what happened.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
75[br]00:06:06,604 --> 00:06:11,229[br]This place draws many people,[br]whether they're Jewish, Muslim, or Christian.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
750[br]00:55:24,098 --> 00:55:26,532[br]He is a 14-year-old from Khan Yunis.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
751[br]00:55:26,667 --> 00:55:30,409[br]He was shot with one like this,[br]and it entered here,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
752[br]00:55:30,785 --> 00:55:32,284[br]and he died.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
753[br]00:55:33,374 --> 00:55:37,869[br]A lot of the deaths have been children,[br]and we do have some documentary evidence

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
756[br]00:55:41,941 --> 00:55:44,112[br]The soldiers weren't at risk.[br]They're heavily armored.

758[br]00:55:44,167 --> 00:55:45,985[br]They have all this high-powered weaponry.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
759[br]00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:49,755[br]And no child with a stone is[br]going to be a risk to them.

760[br]00:55:59,856 --> 00:56:04,188[br]Most of the Palestinian abuses[br]involve shooting at settlements,

762[br]00:56:04,338 --> 00:56:10,640[br]ambushes on settler cars, and, obviously,[br]the suicide bombings inside Israel.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
763[br]00:56:11,949 --> 00:56:17,246[br]There are some risks to Israeli life.[br]Many Israelis have been killed.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
764[br]00:56:18,085 --> 00:56:22,187[br]When there was this horrible suicide[br]bombing, at the pizza place in Jerusalem,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
765[br]00:56:22,323 --> 00:56:26,322[br]I went to visit some of the kids who[br]survived that blast, in the hospital.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
767[br]00:56:26,433 --> 00:56:29,932[br]It was horrible. It was horrible to[br]see what happened to these children.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
768[br]00:56:30,064 --> 00:56:34,392[br]You see the blood, you see the agony of the family.[br]This is what the world sees.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
769[br]00:56:36,785 --> 00:56:39,863[br]But one cannot take it out of the general context.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
77[br]00:06:11,361 --> 00:06:16,025[br]This is a holy place to significant[br]numbers of us, in the world.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
770[br]00:56:39,972 --> 00:56:43,666[br]And the context is of an Israeli[br]occupation, which is...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
772[br]00:56:44,006 --> 00:56:47,225[br]It seems not to be so brutal,[br]but it's very brutal.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
773[br]00:56:47,326 --> 00:56:50,130[br]It really makes people's lives unbearable.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
774[br]00:56:55,589 --> 00:57:00,185[br]The use of suicide bombers is an act of desperation.

776[br]00:57:00,327 --> 00:57:02,067[br]It's the weapons of the weak.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
777[br]00:57:02,147 --> 00:57:04,570[br]Israel doesn't do it.[br]Never.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
779[br]00:57:04,670 --> 00:57:07,636[br]Because it has airplanes and helicopters.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
78[br]00:06:16,124 --> 00:06:20,827[br]We all have an interest in sort of seeing what[br]is this land, and what's the situation here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
780[br]00:57:07,736 --> 00:57:10,683[br]Why should they send anybody to make suicide?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
781[br]00:57:12,374 --> 00:57:16,014[br]I think we have to change our[br]conception of what Israel is.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
782[br]00:57:16,077 --> 00:57:21,044[br]Israel likes to present itself as this little[br]country surrounded by a sea of hostile Arabs,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
783[br]00:57:21,181 --> 00:57:24,009[br]and we just want peace, and they're violent.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
784[br]00:57:24,451 --> 00:57:27,899[br]Israel is the fifth largest[br]nuclear power in the world.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
785[br]00:57:28,251 --> 00:57:30,984[br]It's got between two and three[br]hundred nuclear warheads.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
786[br]00:57:31,125 --> 00:57:34,093[br]So the reality is that Israel[br]is a regional super power.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
787[br]00:57:36,297 --> 00:57:43,963[br]For the first time, the resistance to that occupation[br]had, to a very small extent, an armed component.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
788[br]00:57:44,104 --> 00:57:46,834[br]There was nothing close to equal force.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
789[br]00:57:49,827 --> 00:57:53,053[br]Israeli Tanks 3930[br]Palestinian Tanks 0

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
79[br]00:06:20,911 --> 00:06:24,036[br]And, once you come,[br]if you open your eyes at all,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
790[br]00:57:53,379 --> 00:57:56,783[br]Israeli F-16 Jets 362[br]Palestinian F-16 Jets 0

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
792[br]00:58:01,655 --> 00:58:06,251[br]At every stage, they had[br]used grossly excessive force

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
793[br]00:58:06,393 --> 00:58:11,626[br]against a completely defenseless[br]civilian population.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
794[br]00:58:15,536 --> 00:58:18,895[br]The victims have been overwhelmingly[br]Palestinian civilians.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
796[br]00:58:19,004 --> 00:58:20,501[br]Overwhelmingly.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
797[br]00:58:20,641 --> 00:58:23,413[br]Not armed groups or armed individuals.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
798[br]00:58:23,498 --> 00:58:25,261[br]From September 2000[br]to February 2007:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
799[br]00:58:25,371 --> 00:58:28,410[br]Palestinians killed by Israelis: 4,009[br]Israelis killed by Palestinians: 1,021

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
8[br]00:00:30,057 --> 00:00:31,888[br]*Where is the outcry?*

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
80[br]00:06:24,067 --> 00:06:27,780[br]you can't miss the problems[br]and the patterns that are here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
800[br]00:58:28,435 --> 00:58:30,927[br]More than 935 children were killed[br]during the current conflict:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
801[br]00:58:31,060 --> 00:58:33,115[br]816 Palestinian[br]119 Israeli

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
802[br]00:58:41,695 --> 00:58:46,860[br]Israel has established all of these[br]checkpoints within the West Bank,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
803[br]00:58:47,001 --> 00:58:53,212[br]which require Palestinians to wait hours[br]and hours to go very short distances.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
804[br]00:58:55,342 --> 00:58:59,959[br]Just the freedom of movement, that's something[br]that Palestinians are denied on a daily basis.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
806[br]00:59:00,045 --> 00:59:02,841[br]The access to Jerusalem,[br]the access to health care,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
807[br]00:59:03,021 --> 00:59:06,794[br]the access to hospitals,[br]clinics, and schools.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
808[br]00:59:09,623 --> 00:59:14,674[br]We're talking about three million people who've[br]had the freedom of movement totally stopped.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
809[br]00:59:14,846 --> 00:59:16,494[br]It's a violation of international law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
81[br]00:06:29,562 --> 00:06:32,384[br]I think it's hard to understand[br]what occupation is.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
810[br]00:59:16,563 --> 00:59:21,211[br]That the right to freedom of movement is a fundamental[br]right in the Declaration of Human Rights.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
812[br]00:59:21,329 --> 00:59:26,263[br]What you have is young Israeli[br]conscripts who look bored.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
813[br]00:59:26,555 --> 00:59:31,055[br]These guys are sitting out there, and they're[br]watching thousands of Palestinians go by.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
814[br]00:59:31,242 --> 00:59:35,874[br]They have *carte blanche* to pull anyone[br]over and harass them, for whatever reason.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
815[br]00:59:35,952 --> 00:59:37,718[br]They can detain them for hours.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
816[br]00:59:37,820 --> 00:59:39,918[br]And it's a dangerous situation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
817[br]00:59:41,055 --> 00:59:46,749[br]The main population that are being affected by[br]Israeli policies is the civilian population,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
818[br]00:59:46,894 --> 00:59:53,030[br]the population that is not being involved in any[br]attacks against the Israelis, civilians or the army.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
819[br]00:59:56,022 --> 01:00:00,616[br]During this time of closure, unfortunately, there[br]have been lots of bombings, lots of attacks.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
82[br]00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:38,479[br]I think it's a foreign concept for many Americans;[br]what it's like to live under military occupation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
820[br]01:00:00,941 --> 01:00:05,003[br]The closure is not meant[br]to deter suicide bombings.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
821[br]01:00:05,097 --> 01:00:09,761[br]It's meant to punish and put[br]pressure on three million civilians.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
822[br]01:00:10,737 --> 01:00:12,215[br]People do not earn any more

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
823[br]01:00:12,352 --> 01:00:15,655[br]because the majority of the[br]Palestinians used to work in Israel.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
824[br]01:00:15,789 --> 01:00:19,367[br]And the majority of the Palestinian[br]economy was based on the income of people

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
825[br]01:00:19,406 --> 01:00:20,898[br]who were working inside Israel.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
826[br]01:00:21,476 --> 01:00:22,983[br]Now they cannot go into Israel,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
827[br]01:00:23,018 --> 01:00:27,808[br]so tens of thousands of families just[br]lose the source of income that they had.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
828[br]01:00:28,159 --> 01:00:29,535[br]According to World Bank Estimates:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
829[br]01:00:29,684 --> 01:00:34,180[br]Unemployment is now reaching 53% of the population[br]75% of Palestinians live in poverty (less than $2 a day)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
83[br]00:06:40,594 --> 00:06:43,953[br]The definition of an occupation[br]is when a foreign army

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
830[br]01:00:34,420 --> 01:00:36,803[br]The education system is also affected by that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
831[br]01:00:36,844 --> 01:00:38,709[br]Students cannot go to the university.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
832[br]01:00:42,449 --> 01:00:49,152[br]Birzeit University was subject to army[br]closures for something like 18 times.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
833[br]01:00:49,311 --> 01:00:52,151[br]The longest closure was during The First Intifada.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
834[br]01:00:52,315 --> 01:00:54,994[br]For five years, we could not set foot on campus.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
835[br]01:00:52,824 --> 01:00:57,410[br]Dr. Albert Aghazarian[br]Bir Zeit University[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
836[br]01:00:55,129 --> 01:00:58,941[br]During this period, we organized[br]what the Israeli army called

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
837[br]01:00:59,019 --> 01:01:00,729[br]"cells of illegal education".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
838[br]01:01:00,868 --> 01:01:04,196[br]We were teaching in apartments, in rented flats,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
839[br]01:01:04,227 --> 01:01:07,801[br]in churches, in mosques,[br]in gardens, in cars.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
84[br]00:06:44,003 --> 00:06:47,484[br]occupies your land physically[br]and controls your life.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
840[br]01:01:07,941 --> 01:01:10,980[br]And we kept our infrastructure, even this attempt,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
841[br]01:01:11,167 --> 01:01:14,210[br]to minimize the damage and to[br]keep the university going.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
842[br]01:01:14,291 --> 01:01:15,830[br]They attempted to crush it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
843[br]01:01:16,923 --> 01:01:20,616[br]I went to college in the States[br]and I found it very different.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
844[br]01:01:16,923 --> 01:01:20,526[br]Bir Zeit University Students[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
845[br]01:01:20,754 --> 01:01:22,984[br]Your biggest worry in the States,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
846[br]01:01:23,123 --> 01:01:26,701[br]is if I'm going to pass in class or,[br]"Oh, I hope I have a lot of friends."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
847[br]01:01:26,771 --> 01:01:28,490[br]Over here, it's totally different.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
848[br]01:01:28,629 --> 01:01:30,980[br]You have to worry, "Oh, my God,[br]would I be able to get to school?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
849[br]01:01:31,027 --> 01:01:33,207[br]Is there going to be a checkpoint?[br]Is there going to be a demonstration?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
85[br]00:06:50,504 --> 00:06:53,019[br]In addition, Palestinians under occupation,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
850[br]01:01:33,246 --> 01:01:35,599[br]Am I going to get shot at?[br]Is there going to be tear gas?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
851[br]01:01:35,736 --> 01:01:39,297[br]So, it's like, completely different.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
852[br]01:01:42,075 --> 01:01:43,804[br]And here, it's just like you don't[br]know if you're going to live

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
853[br]01:01:43,944 --> 01:01:45,172[br]or you're going to die, you know?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
854[br]01:01:45,312 --> 01:01:47,449[br]It's... You're going to school[br]as if you're going to fight a war.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
855[br]01:01:49,917 --> 01:01:53,010[br]You don't find a tank in the middle[br]of the road on your way to college.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
856[br]01:01:53,088 --> 01:01:55,471[br]Just the other day, there were[br]two tanks and an army Jeep.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
857[br]01:01:55,518 --> 01:01:58,720[br]And they're standing there checking[br]your passport, and, you know,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
858[br]01:01:58,748 --> 01:02:00,824[br]your student visa and all this stuff.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
859[br]01:02:00,961 --> 01:02:03,164[br]And it's just like, "We want to get[br]to school. We want an education.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
86[br]00:06:51,922 --> 00:06:55,922[br]Allegra Pacheco[br]Israeli human rights lawyer[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
860[br]01:02:03,197 --> 01:02:06,101[br]We're humans, and we[br]have a right to our education.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
861[br]01:02:06,125 --> 01:02:10,656[br]In places like the United States, people[br]cannot understand what's going on,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
862[br]01:02:10,687 --> 01:02:15,256[br]because simply, the experience is[br]beyond their frame of reference.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
863[br]01:02:15,303 --> 01:02:17,654[br]I can't study at night because my[br]bedroom light is going to be on,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
864[br]01:02:17,744 --> 01:02:19,905[br]and it's across the street from a settlement.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
865[br]01:02:20,047 --> 01:02:23,422[br]They shot at me.[br]I was reading my biology book.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
866[br]01:02:23,461 --> 01:02:24,906[br]I was studying for my mid-term.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
867[br]01:02:24,952 --> 01:02:27,510[br]And my mom and dad are like,[br]"No, get out of the room,"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
868[br]01:02:27,588 --> 01:02:30,088[br]because they started shooting.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
869[br]01:02:30,123 --> 01:02:32,614[br]I was like, "No, Mom, I want to get[br]an "A" in the class. Let me study."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
87[br]00:06:53,089 --> 00:06:55,964[br]- and this why there's so much[br]struggle against the occupation -

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
870[br]01:02:32,686 --> 01:02:34,021[br]So I'm sitting there and all of the sudden,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
871[br]01:02:34,161 --> 01:02:38,030[br]you hear something on my bedroom window.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
872[br]01:02:40,100 --> 01:02:42,678[br]And I was just like, "Okay,[br]maybe I should go downstairs."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
873[br]01:02:42,736 --> 01:02:43,935[br]I couldn't study for my test.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
874[br]01:02:44,004 --> 01:02:46,234[br]It's like...[br]I tell my American friends:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
875[br]01:02:46,373 --> 01:02:49,103[br]"It's like, do you understand[br]what I'm going through?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
876[br]01:02:50,477 --> 01:02:55,074[br]The amazing thing is not that you[br]have cases of suicide in students.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
877[br]01:02:55,215 --> 01:02:59,542[br]The amazing thing is the bulk of them, they[br]try to carry on in the middle of this mess,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
878[br]01:02:59,686 --> 01:03:04,123[br]as if life is normal, as if they want[br]to celebrate their graduation,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
879[br]01:03:04,258 --> 01:03:07,140[br]and they want to build their life,[br]and they want to carry on.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
88[br]00:06:56,031 --> 00:06:57,623[br]they're not citizens.[br]They don't have rights.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
880[br]01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,256[br]That's the other part of the coin.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
881[br]01:03:12,823 --> 01:03:17,971[br]The root problem here is occupation.[br]Everything else emanates from there.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
882[br]01:03:25,412 --> 01:03:28,763[br]The most severe problem is[br]people who need medical care.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
883[br]01:03:29,757 --> 01:03:33,570[br]We've documented numerous cases,[br]cases where people have died.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
884[br]01:03:33,593 --> 01:03:38,531[br]In fact, I believe that one of the last cases[br]we documented was a woman who was in labor,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
885[br]01:03:38,625 --> 01:03:42,750[br]who was not allowed to get to the hospital,[br]and she and the baby both died.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
886[br]01:03:43,117 --> 01:03:48,577[br]If people like that, people who are really sick and[br]really need to go to hospitals, cannot do that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
887[br]01:03:48,769 --> 01:03:53,620[br]So I think you can imagine what happens to[br]regular people that just want to go to work,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
888[br]01:03:53,674 --> 01:03:56,808[br]just want to go to do some shopping,[br]or even just visit friends.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
889[br]01:03:56,944 --> 01:04:01,381[br]It's like living in a prison, a gigantic prison.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
89[br]00:06:57,718 --> 00:07:01,029[br]They don't have civil rights.[br]They're under a military rule.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
890[br]01:04:04,017 --> 01:04:06,806[br]Haaretz, the intellectual newspaper in Israel,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
891[br]01:04:06,954 --> 01:04:11,053[br]ran a whole, like a four-page magazine[br]article on the refugee issue.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
892[br]01:04:11,085 --> 01:04:13,953[br]It had a picture of Tel Aviv University now

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
893[br]01:04:14,085 --> 01:04:18,643[br]and what was there before Tel Aviv[br]University, a Palestinian village.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
894[br]01:04:18,839 --> 01:04:20,422[br]And those refugees are in Gaza.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
895[br]01:04:23,727 --> 01:04:26,370[br]Gaza is one place that's seen hell

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
896[br]01:04:26,934 --> 01:04:29,567[br]No lie, I swear Gaza is even worse

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
897[br]01:04:29,998 --> 01:04:32,582[br]than what we've experienced!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
898[br]01:04:32,925 --> 01:04:34,869[br]Gaza is much worse!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
899[br]01:04:38,752 --> 01:04:41,380[br]I think that Gaza is a main problem.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
9[br]00:00:32,644 --> 00:00:34,644[br]IRELAND[br]{\an5}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
90[br]00:07:02,491 --> 00:07:10,675[br]This is a particular kind of occupation,[br]that's both military and settler occupation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
900[br]01:04:41,423 --> 01:04:44,540[br]There are lots of violations that you will not[br]see in the West Bank, you will see in Gaza.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
901[br]01:04:44,610 --> 01:04:47,685[br]We find it hard to monitor the[br]human rights situation in Gaza

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
902[br]01:04:47,828 --> 01:04:50,469[br]because the Israeli army do not let us in.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
903[br]01:04:55,902 --> 01:05:01,667[br]Palestinians in Gaza had been under Israeli[br]military control for over 38 years,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
904[br]01:05:01,972 --> 01:05:09,356[br]where 1.3 million Palestinians were crowded[br]together to make room for 8,000 Israeli settlers.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
905[br]01:05:18,723 --> 01:05:20,747[br]In August of 2005,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
906[br]01:05:20,927 --> 01:05:27,666[br]Israel dismantled its settlements and military[br]posts inside Gaza and relocated its settlers.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
907[br]01:05:29,703 --> 01:05:36,272[br]The media, along with Israeli politicians,[br]portrayed this as an unprecedented sacrifice.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
908[br]01:05:36,410 --> 01:05:41,652[br]In reality, it was simply a matter of Israel[br]finally complying with international law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
909[br]01:05:42,491 --> 01:05:47,847[br]The evacuation of settlers from Gaza constituted[br]only 2% of the entire Israel settler population.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
910[br]01:05:48,567 --> 01:05:52,093[br]Each illegal settler was promised[br]an estimated $227,000 to relocate

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
911[br]01:05:53,031 --> 01:05:56,858[br]A total cost of $2.2 Billion an expense[br]Israel has asked the US to pay for.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
912[br]01:05:56,998 --> 01:06:01,032[br]Although Israel's presence inside[br]Gaza is no longer visible,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
913[br]01:06:01,168 --> 01:06:05,460[br]Israel will still retain ultimate[br]control over Gaza's borders,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
914[br]01:06:05,663 --> 01:06:10,809[br]coastal waters, and air space,[br]creating a virtual prison.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
915[br]01:06:12,211 --> 01:06:19,033[br]The refugee camps, even if there was no conflict[br]with Israel, are just humanly horrible.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
916[br]01:06:19,321 --> 01:06:21,736[br]They're so overcrowded.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
917[br]01:06:23,713 --> 01:06:29,056[br]And you have 14 to 25 people[br]living in a space.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
918[br]01:06:38,438 --> 01:06:43,102[br]There's no place for children to be.[br]There are no streets.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
919[br]01:06:43,136 --> 01:06:47,300[br]They're little alleys.[br]No trees. Nothing.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
92[br]00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:19,829[br]Bishop Allen Bartlett[br]Diocese of Washington[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
920[br]01:06:52,238 --> 01:06:57,596[br]Many generations of Palestinians have grown up and[br]continue to live in refugee camps throughout the region.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
921[br]01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:00,339[br]In 1948, they numbered over 750,000

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
922[br]01:07:01,230 --> 01:07:05,823[br]Today, those who continue to live[br]in refugee camps number 4,255,120

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
923[br]01:07:06,456 --> 01:07:09,276[br]Could you live here? Could you?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
924[br]01:07:09,675 --> 01:07:13,378[br]You couldn't because the conditions are horrible

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
925[br]01:07:13,668 --> 01:07:18,863[br]and you'd be afraid whenever the missiles strike

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
926[br]01:07:19,380 --> 01:07:22,261[br]and the walls begin to crack!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
927[br]01:07:51,582 --> 01:07:54,456[br]The shelling struck the window

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
928[br]01:07:54,544 --> 01:08:00,082[br]everything broke and got burnt.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
929[br]01:08:02,122 --> 01:08:05,272[br]Why did they break my things

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
93[br]00:07:14,503 --> 00:07:20,674[br]Settlements are areas of Palestinian[br]land which are selected,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
930[br]01:08:05,322 --> 01:08:06,940[br]and break my toys?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
931[br]01:08:06,990 --> 01:08:08,479[br]I lost a lot of my stuff.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
932[br]01:08:08,529 --> 01:08:11,274[br]We threw it all in the garbage

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
933[br]01:08:11,324 --> 01:08:13,457[br]We also got rid of our clothes

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
934[br]01:08:13,507 --> 01:08:17,017[br]We beg from our neighbors for clothing to wear.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
935[br]01:08:17,067 --> 01:08:20,931[br]The food we eat smells like gas

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
936[br]01:08:20,981 --> 01:08:23,323[br]We don't want to get rid of our clothes

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
937[br]01:08:23,373 --> 01:08:25,490[br]even though they smell like gas

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
938[br]01:08:25,540 --> 01:08:27,834[br]Only if you would smell our clothing!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
939[br]01:08:27,884 --> 01:08:30,769[br]Let the Israelis come and smell our clothes

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
94[br]00:07:20,901 --> 00:07:26,502[br]and whatever is there, whether it's roads,[br]or whether it's villages, or homes,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
940[br]01:08:30,819 --> 01:08:32,200[br]and see our home.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
941[br]01:08:32,250 --> 01:08:34,827[br]Whenever we go to take a shower

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
942[br]01:08:34,877 --> 01:08:36,735[br]or do anything at home

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
943[br]01:08:36,785 --> 01:08:40,054[br]the smell of gas suffocates us to death!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
944[br]01:08:40,124 --> 01:08:42,873[br]Come and look at my clothes.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
945[br]01:08:42,923 --> 01:08:45,082[br]Smell them. It's gas.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
946[br]01:08:45,132 --> 01:08:46,289[br]What can I do?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
947[br]01:08:46,339 --> 01:08:48,781[br]I didn't even get to enjoy the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
948[br]01:08:48,831 --> 01:08:51,243[br]sunglasses that my dad gave me

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
949[br]01:08:51,293 --> 01:08:53,759[br]even the bracelets and necklace

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
95[br]00:07:26,541 --> 00:07:31,017[br]they are bulldozed, and then a new[br]town is built on the hilltop.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
950[br]01:08:53,809 --> 01:08:55,496[br]that my mom gave me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
951[br]01:08:55,546 --> 01:08:59,190[br]I didn't even get to enjoy my rings.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
952[br]01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:04,634[br]How am I supposed to enjoy all of my belongings?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
953[br]01:09:05,471 --> 01:09:09,041[br]How? Enjoy our things with what?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
954[br]01:09:09,094 --> 01:09:11,923[br]Our children can't even live

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
955[br]01:09:11,973 --> 01:09:14,350[br]We don't even know how to live.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
956[br]01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:17,347[br]We live in constant fear.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
957[br]01:09:17,646 --> 01:09:20,364[br]We live in fear and terror!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
958[br]01:09:25,873 --> 01:09:28,567[br]On my way to school I hear gun shots.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
959[br]01:09:28,646 --> 01:09:30,825[br]I get so scared from the shooting

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
96[br]00:07:31,511 --> 00:07:34,480[br]One very good friend is Rodina Jabber.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
960[br]01:09:30,928 --> 01:09:33,247[br]I begin to tremble all over.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
961[br]01:09:36,961 --> 01:09:39,906[br]This is what has been fired on this neighborhood.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
962[br]01:09:39,961 --> 01:09:43,235[br]This is a civilian neighborhood.[br]There are no soldiers here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
963[br]01:09:42,899 --> 01:09:47,208[br]Thomas Getman[br]Director, World Vision Jerusalem[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
964[br]01:09:43,456 --> 01:09:46,992[br]There are no military installations here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
965[br]01:09:47,141 --> 01:09:51,672[br]This is strictly harassment, to get these[br]people to move away from the border,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
966[br]01:09:52,133 --> 01:09:56,448[br]so that the Israeli tanks can move at will.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
967[br]01:09:56,902 --> 01:10:02,266[br]The want these people cleansed from this area.[br]It's that simple.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
968[br]01:10:03,064 --> 01:10:09,243[br]And it's a way to get people to be[br]humiliated and destitute again.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
969[br]01:10:09,775 --> 01:10:12,642[br]In Gaza, you can see also the[br]extent of house demolitions,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
97[br]00:07:34,598 --> 00:07:40,340[br]She and her husband, Ata, have landed in a[br]rural valley near here called the Ba'a.

970[br]01:10:11,045 --> 01:10:15,117[br]Yael Stien[br]B'tselem - Israeli Human Rights Group[br]{\an4}

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
971[br]01:10:12,689 --> 01:10:15,767[br]much more extensive than in the West Bank.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
972[br]01:10:15,806 --> 01:10:18,215[br]Whole neighborhoods have been demolished.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
973[br]01:10:18,433 --> 01:10:20,675[br]Hundreds of people do not have any houses any more,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
974[br]01:10:20,776 --> 01:10:23,502[br]because they are next to[br]settlements or next to the border,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
975[br]01:10:23,541 --> 01:10:26,104[br]which is, of course, a clear[br]violation of humanitarian law.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
976[br]01:10:27,723 --> 01:10:30,684[br]People have no chance to get[br]their personal items out.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
977[br]01:10:30,824 --> 01:10:32,887[br]They have no chance to call for help.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
978[br]01:10:32,957 --> 01:10:37,121[br]And this is far away from most media outlets.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
979[br]01:10:37,355 --> 01:10:42,983[br]You are amongst the very few[br]journalists who have even seen this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
98[br]00:07:40,484 --> 00:07:44,079[br]And it's pretty clear these[br]settlements want this land.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
980[br]01:10:43,139 --> 01:10:45,678[br]European or American journalists[br]who have even been here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
981[br]01:10:45,772 --> 01:10:49,400[br]Because people are afraid to[br]come or it's too hard to come.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
982[br]01:10:51,772 --> 01:10:58,342[br]One of the things we were told in Gaza by[br]a very respected Palestinian psychologist

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
983[br]01:10:58,365 --> 01:11:03,265[br]who had just completed a study[br]of a thousand Palestinian children,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
984[br]01:11:03,403 --> 01:11:07,863[br]was that they had discovered that[br]many of these Palestinian children

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
985[br]01:11:07,999 --> 01:11:10,371[br]no longer had a will to live,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
986[br]01:11:10,535 --> 01:11:16,566[br]that they were so dehumanized and so affected

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
987[br]01:11:16,613 --> 01:11:23,860[br]by seeing their fathers, particularly,[br]beaten by Israeli defense forces,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
988[br]01:11:25,149 --> 01:11:29,940[br]that the psychological condition is[br]one of the dimensions of the conflict

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
989[br]01:11:30,011 --> 01:11:32,411[br]that is not widely understood.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
99[br]00:07:44,224 --> 00:07:47,106[br]It's some of the best[br]agricultural land around here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
990[br]01:11:36,143 --> 01:11:41,572[br]Palestinians called for an international[br]observer force that would stop the violence,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
991[br]01:11:41,675 --> 01:11:44,925[br]but this action was blocked by Israel.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
992[br]01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:50,981[br]Finally, a group of Palestinian and[br]Israeli human rights activists, together

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
993[br]01:11:51,184 --> 01:11:54,328[br]created the International Solidarity Movement,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
994[br]01:11:54,594 --> 01:11:58,773[br]which has brought people from around the[br]world, of all ages and backgrounds,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
995[br]01:11:59,055 --> 01:12:04,356[br]to provide a nonviolent, international presence,[br]to try to fill this need.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
996[br]01:12:05,969 --> 01:12:09,851[br]Rachel Corrie, a 23-year-old American student,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
997[br]01:12:10,101 --> 01:12:15,263[br]went to Gaza to join in these efforts,[br]sending back e-mails to her parents.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
998[br]01:12:15,454 --> 01:12:19,213[br]"I have been in Palestine for[br]two weeks and one hour now,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
999[br]01:12:19,502 --> 01:12:23,244[br]and I still have very few[br]words to describe what I see.
