Today, our task here, -
1:05 - 1:10as members of the Russell Tribunal on Palestine
-
1:10 - 1:13is very simple very clear
-
1:13 - 1:16very uncontroversial.
-
1:17 - 1:21We are here to say what violations
-
1:21 - 1:26of international Law is being committed
-
1:26 - 1:33of which the Palestinian people has been suffering from -- for the last 16 years.
-
1:34 - 1:35
We are here to say -
1:35 - 1:39that any country member of the United Nations,
-
1:39 - 1:46and that is the case of France, of South Africa and of Israel,
-
1:46 - 1:49has a commitment to that Charter,
-
1:49 - 1:52which is to implement
-
1:53 - 1:57the texts that have been submitted and adopted
-
1:57 - 2:02by the International organization.

[The Russell Tribunal has no legal status but acts as a court of the people, a Tribunal of conscience faced with injustices and violations of international law, -

3:00 - 3:03(Michael Mansfield - UK Barrister, Queen's counsel, RToP Jury member)
The forces at work in Palestine, -
3:04 - 3:06much the same as the forces at work elsewhere
-
3:06 - 3:13are recognizing the chips are down and that there is action being taken
-
3:14 - 3:18and there is an interesting correlation in connection
-
3:18 - 3:23-- Tony mentioned it -- a connection between these various movements
-
3:24 - 3:27and the Palestinians because they all recognize
-
3:27 - 3:31that what the Palestinians have had to put up with the sixty years, sometimes much longer,
-
3:31 - 3:34and they have, is their struggle.
-
3:34 - 3:38(Mohammed Khatib - Palestinian activist)
You know that from my roof -
3:38 - 3:43in Bil'in, which is 15 kilometer from the Mediterranean sea, I can see the sea.
-
3:43 - 3:47I can see it: it's so totally clear to see it.
-
3:48 - 3:50But I didn't be there and then I'm not managing
-
3:50 - 3:54to be there and to be in this ...
-
3:55 - 3:57... sea.
-
3:57 - 3:59(Rafeef Ziadah - Palestinian Trade Union Coalition for BDS)
Today as we speak -
3:59 - 4:02there are Palestinian workers stopped at checkpoints
-
4:02 - 4:05that can't get through, being held up by 18-year-old soldiers.
-
4:05 - 4:09There are farmers watching their land but unable to get to them.
-
4:09 - 4:15There are Palestinian tour drivers showing tourists parts of Palestine that they can not get to
-
4:15 - 4:19and having to smile while doing it to make a living.
-
4:19 - 4:23The ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1947 and 48
-
4:23 - 4:27that lead to the flight of over 3/4 of the Palestinian population
-
4:27 - 4:32is the starting point of any explanation of the evolution of Palestinan labor conditions.
-
4:32 - 4:37Palestinian workers today are spread across many geographical regions.
-
4:37 - 4:40Refugees like myself are denied our right to return to our homes.
-
4:40 - 4:45Those living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in scattered population centers
-
4:45 - 4:50are divided from one another by Israeli settlements, military checkpoints and Israeli-only highways
-
4:51 - 4:55and finally, there are Palestinian workers who are citizens of the state of Israel.
-
4:55 - 5:00Each of these groups of Palestinian workers face harsh conditions to various degrees
-
5:00 - 5:06but their conditions stem from the multi-tiered system of colonialism, occupation and apartheid
-
5:06 - 5:08imposed on them by this very state.
-
5:08 - 5:11(Off voice) C'est l'histoire d'un grand-père qui parle avec son petit-fils
-
5:11 - 5:14et son petit-fils qui lui dit: "Mais, je n'arrive pas à déterrer ce pieu-là."
-
5:15 - 5:19Et le grand-père lui dit: "Tu sais, si tu veux y arriver et que tu tires d'un coup, tu n'y arriveras jamais.
-
5:19 - 5:23Si par contre, tu le bouges un peu dans tous les sens, comme ça,
-
5:23 - 5:24devant, derrière, à droite, à gauche,
-
5:24 - 5:26un jour, tu le sortiras, ce pieu."

6:19 - 6:23(Jeff Halper - Anthropologist and activist) We use the word apartheid in Israel officially.
-
6:24 - 6:28In other words, the word we use, the name of our policy
-
6:28 - 6:32towards the Palestinians is called "Hafrada" in Hebrew.
-
6:32 - 6:35H A F R A D A
-
6:35 - 6:41Hafrada in Hebrew means apartheid, separateness, to separate.
-
6:41 - 6:45We simply say it in Hebrew rather than Afrikaans
-
6:45 - 6:49but it's the same -- it's the same concept and in fact,
-
6:49 - 6:54the official name of the Wall is not the security barrier
-
6:54 - 6:58because it really wasn't built for security but the official name of the Wall
-
6:58 - 7:05is the separation barrier so it's up -- and Israel calls the line to the wall
-
7:05 - 7:07-- I was going to show it on a slide but we don't have it --
-
7:07 - 7:10but that Israel calls the torturous line of the Wall
-
7:10 - 7:16that intrudes deeply into Palestinian territory its demographic border
-
7:17 - 7:19Its security border is a Jordan River
-
7:19 - 7:23but the demographic border is, is
-
7:23 - 7:26-- and this is all in documents in government statements this isn't
-
7:27 - 7:30something secret that I'm revealing today.
-
7:30 - 7:32It's upfront and its explicit
-

8:28 - 8:33agonizing thing to see

8:33 - 8:38a reply of what
-
8:38 - 8:41used to happen here.
-
8:41 - 8:44In many respects apartheid regime
-
8:44 - 8:50was much more honest because the laws of
apartheid -
8:50 - 8:53were openly legislated in parliament
-
8:53 - 8:56and then it was clear for all to see
-
8:56 - 8:59where is the laws governing Palestinians in the
Palestinian territory -
8:59 - 9:05are largely contained you know skid military
degrees or inherited emergency regulation -
9:05 - 9:09which are virtually inaccessible

9:33 - 9:39I'm up
-
9:39 - 9:46okay yes yep
-
9:50 - 9:56I I recognized that law is rife from
power -
9:56 - 9:59I recognize that the way that laws are
made -
9:59 - 10:03is not some organic loss but that
they're is -
10:03 - 10:06the question and power up that creates
loss -
10:06 - 10:10but that said I think that we generally
no -
10:10 - 10:15what is just and what is in just and
what the United States has attempted to -
10:15 - 10:15do
-
10:15 - 10:19in palestine is to make what is unjust
-
10:19 - 10:22seen just what is illegal seem
-
10:22 - 10:27legal the Palestinian people constitute
one of the largest and longest standing -
10:27 - 10:31and resolve situations and displacement
in the world -
10:31 - 10:34about half the refugees in the world
-
10:34 - 10:39our palestinian approximately 66 percent
-
10:39 - 10:44or 7.4 million up the entire population
up -
10:44 - 10:48eleven-point two million palestinians is
forcibly displaced -
10:48 - 10:55among those displaced are at least six
point eight million palestinian refugees -

internally displaced persons -
11:00 - 11:05on
-
11:05 - 11:12way

11:13 - 11:17be or the Arab world decided to use
forced -
11:17 - 11:21in order to reject the petition led by
the United Nations -
11:21 - 11:26namely before the 15th May 1948 in
before it was clear -
11:26 - 11:30what other positions on the sides
because the united nation deliberation -
11:30 - 11:34on Palestine continue before he's
deliberation ended -
11:34 - 11:39already haha on the palestinians became
refugees I know perfectly well that so -
11:39 - 11:40so sad
-
11:40 - 11:43it's not an object a positive
international -
11:43 - 11:47I can sense one reason why
-
11:47 - 11:51this is what western colonialism isn't
-
11:51 - 11:56it was also about killing so it's also
about the story nature -
11:56 - 12:00it was a ball all tearing apart
-
12:00 - 12:04fragmenting marginalizing local
-
12:04 - 12:11indigenous subsides
-
12:14 - 12:180
-
12:18 - 12:20in an official this course
-
12:20 - 12:25and they've got the official discussed
stock peak from 2007 -
12:25 - 12:30that I Israeli intelligence your but
this can -
12:30 - 12:34has this cock the Palestinian side is at
hand apostol -
12:34 - 12:38those who don't accent not rules of the
game as a sec the chick -
12:38 - 12:40shit
-
12:40 - 12:46of our job as civil society is to pick
up the slack when the united nations -
12:46 - 12:51aims to do the job it is mandated to do
because the United States government -
12:51 - 12:53refuses to allow it to do
-
12:53 - 12:58what it is mandated to do that's our job
that's the job -
12:58 - 13:02a civil society that was the reason that
the largest at the United States -
13:02 - 13:04mobilizations on February 15
-
13:04 - 13:092003 in their work 250 some-odd
demonstrations across this country -
13:09 - 13:12but by far the largest what's up would
have the United Nations -
13:12 - 13:16because we were saying to the United
Nations the same thing -
13:16 - 13:21that people around the world were saying
the world says no to war -
13:21 - 13:27will now the world is saying no to
Israeli occupation and apartheid -
13:27 - 13:31your resolutions traced the history of
israeli by relations -
13:31 - 13:36you regret you deplore you even condemn
the violations -
13:36 - 13:39but when have your resolution has been
implemented -
13:39 - 13:45it is not enough to dip below condemn
what we need is for the united nations -
13:45 - 13:49the you excellencies your governments
and the General Assembly in which you -
13:49 - 13:49said I have
-
13:49 - 13:54to take seriously our responsibility to
protect Palestinians -
13:54 - 13:57living under occupation and facing the
daily -
13:57 - 14:02violation up their inalienable rights
self-determination inequality -
14:02 - 14:06the way love we the people that these
United Nations -
14:06 - 14:10is that all our brothers and sisters
should be free to live in -
14:10 - 14:11self-determination
-
14:11 - 14:14that the oppression be released from
their burden bike -
14:14 - 14:21being given recourse to the law

Congratulations and thanks , Ester ! You've done most of this editing. Just wondering: can't we keep the explanation about using this metadata: geo track to edit the Youtube automatic captions in the description? It won't influence the description in the main /info/ page, and this way people who wonder what's that funny language and click on it will see the explanation in the transcript . ------ I was thinking of maybe re-splitting a few subtitles according to human instead of Youtube logic: then you could download them and reupload them as English. Would that be okay with you? ----- Best, ----- Claude
Ester Garau
Yes, it would be ok.
All the best to you
