00:22O que o Occupamento fez para nós é reduzir nos animais.
00:28Em uma forma de que às vezes eu me desculpe de dizer que eu estou em Israel.
00:37Isso é um grande desculpe do estabelecimento de Israel.
00:46Que toda crítica de sua política é anti-Semitism.
00:56As vezes eu me sinto desculpe para as mães de Israel, porque eles pensam que seus soldados ou seus filhos
01:04são victoriosos.
01:05Mas eles deveriam vir e ver o que eles estão fazendo aqui.
01:1325 anos atrás, eu fiz um filme chamado Palestine Is Still The Issue.
01:18É sobre uma naciona de pessoas, os palestinos,
01:22Forçados de suas terra e depois subjetados a uma ocupação militar por Israel.
01:27Uma ocupação que foi desculpe de as Nacionas e quase todos os países do mundo, incluindo o Brasil.
01:34Mas Israel está devolvido por um amigo muito poderoso, o Unido.
01:40Então, em 25 anos, se nós falarmos sobre a grande injustiça aqui, nada mudou.
01:46O que mudou é que os palestinos estão lutando.
01:51Estadilessos e humilhados por tão longa,
01:54Eles se tornam contra Israel's grande máquina militar.
01:57Mas eles não têm armadilho, nem armadilho, nem armadilho, nem armadilho, nem armadilho, nem armadilho, nem armadilho ou missiles.
02:05Alguns têm cometido despeis de atos de terror, como suicídio de bombas.
02:10Mas para os palestinos, o overrido, routine terror, dia depois dia,
02:17O que é o controle de todos os seus filhos,
02:21De todos os seus filhos, como se eles vivem em uma prisão aberta.
02:25Este filme é sobre os palestinos e um grupo de corajos israelis
02:30unidos em o mais velho, para ser liberados.
02:57Last April, troops and tanks of the Israeli army attacked Ramallah
03:01and other towns in occupied Palestine.
03:04This was reported as an incursion to stop terrorism.
03:09In fact, it was also an attack on civilian life,
03:13on schools, offices, clinics, theaters, radio stations.
03:18This systematic vandalism is typical
03:21of one of the longest military occupations in modern times.
03:28Even the culture ministry was destroyed.
03:31The director, Liana Badri, a distinguished novelist and filmmaker,
03:35showed me the devastation shortly after it had happened.
03:41This is the administration room.
03:43We had a lot of files here.
03:45You can see that everything were broken.
03:48It was the best place in the ministry.
03:52What you did here was promote projects for Palestinian culture, basically.
03:59Filmmaking, projects for children.
04:02Exhibitions, book exhibitions, painter's exhibitions,
04:08festivals, dance, folklore.
04:11We had a lot of projects.
04:14Now we don't have anything to begin.
04:16We don't have computers, equipment, furniture.
04:19And we have this feeling of humiliation.
04:24The smell is awful, isn't it?
04:26The smell is awful, yes.
04:28This is a bag of shit,
04:30and the shit smeared all over the photocopier.
04:33Two.
04:33Two.
04:34So they just ate and defecated in the same place.
04:39Yes, and putting them on the photocopy.
04:42Putting shit everywhere, even on the walls.
04:47And you can see that we have toilet,
04:50two toilets on every floor,
04:52but they didn't use the toilet.
04:54All the time they were making it on the floor or anywhere,
04:58as you can see.
05:05We have a look in this room, okay?
05:09Good grief.
05:11Look at this.
05:15These are children's drawings, aren't they?
05:19This is a room specialized for children's work,
05:24children's paintings,
05:26and children's culture,
05:28and to encourage them to paint,
05:30to let them express themselves,
05:32to make competition,
05:34writing competitions.
05:36But you can see how they destroyed everything.
05:39They don't respect anything.
05:41They just want to come and destroy,
05:43and this is the systematic terrorism of the Israeli state.
05:48For the Palestinians,
05:50this cultural vandalism
05:52means a deliberate intention
05:54to destroy them as a nation.
05:58The heart of the conflict here
06:01is a struggle for land,
06:03for the hills and valleys of Palestine,
06:06for precious water
06:07and fertile soil.
06:12During the early 20th century,
06:14the great majority of the population of Palestine
06:18were Palestinian Arabs.
06:21In 1948,
06:24Israel was founded in the shadow of the Holocaust.
06:27For the Palestinians,
06:28this meant the loss
06:29of 78% of their country.
06:33Today,
06:34they are seeking only the remaining 22%
06:36of their homeland.
06:40For 35 years,
06:42that homeland
06:43has been dominated by Israel.
06:49In 1987,
06:51the Palestinians rose up
06:52in what they call
06:54Intifada.
06:55History will surely call it
06:57a war of national liberation.
07:00They fought mainly with slingshots
07:02against tanks and planes,
07:04and they were put down
07:06with this kind of brutality,
07:08Israeli soldiers deliberately
07:10breaking the bones of prisoners.
07:13Some of the soldiers later insisted
07:15they were carrying out
07:17official Israeli policy.
07:32Two years ago,
07:34the Palestinians rose up
07:35a second time.
07:37This was hardly surprising.
07:38During curfews,
07:40people live under a form
07:41of house arrest.
07:43Without notice,
07:44they can be locked
07:44inside their homes.
07:46Their ordinary lives
07:47are a maze of controls,
07:49roadblocks,
07:50checkpoints.
07:52This is how I remembered
07:53apartheid South Africa.
07:55The hidden effect
07:56is the same.
07:58Humiliation
07:58and anger
08:00and death.
08:17This Palestinian woman
08:19knows how devastating
08:20the impact of checkpoints
08:22can be.
08:23Last October,
08:25she was about to give birth
08:26to her second child,
08:28and she and her husband
08:29set out for the nearby hospital.
08:31they were stopped
08:32at an Israeli roadblock
08:34where they pleaded
08:35to be let through.
08:37and she and her husband
08:38were still alive,
08:46and she left
08:48in the night.
08:55She said,
08:58but if they continue
08:58and they don't
08:58They don't know.
09:00Eu me lembro de que eu tinha visto que eu estava com certeza de que eu estava com um homem.
09:08Então, eu não me lembro. Eu não me lembro de que eu não me lembro.
09:12Eu deixei de ter uma vez. Eu estava com a minha família.
09:18Então ela estava com a luta da cidade em Chofra.
09:24E eu não me lembro de que eu não me lembro.
09:25Eu sempre me lembro do seu filho.
09:27Então eu me lembro do jeito,
09:29e eu me lembro do jeito.
09:31Eu me lembro do carro,
09:35e o carro,
09:36e o carro.
09:37Nós nos lembro,
09:38quando a gente não foi feita para o filho de França,
09:40ele foi desistido.
09:49Histórias como Fatima,
09:50Muitas falhas seldom make headlines,
09:52e ainda muitos casos são documentados.
10:18Os palestinos tentam levar uma vida normal, mas a vida nunca é normal.
10:23During Israeli military operations, curfews stop everything.
10:28Ambulances are denied access to the sick and wounded.
10:32Children are stopped from going to school.
10:35The Israelis claim this is necessary for their security.
10:40If that's true, it's clearly not working.
10:43And the security of Palestinians is almost never mentioned.
10:50You feel all your life that you are humiliated.
10:54You don't control yourself, you don't control the air you are breathing.
10:58You don't.
10:59I don't want to talk about planning for anything.
11:02This is something we don't even dream about.
11:05Plan to next hour or next day what we will do.
11:08This is something we don't even dream about.
11:10Because our destiny is not in our hands.
11:15It's in the hands of the others who decide how we would live.
11:18How we would get married.
11:19To get married, to come and live with my husband in this country,
11:22I had to take the permission of the Israelis.
11:25It's not enough that they took our land.
11:27And they are not allowing us to have our own state.
11:30But also they are controlling every detail in our life.
11:35Some Israelis have spoken out.
11:37More than 500 soldiers have refused to serve in the occupied territories.
11:42We are, they've said.
11:44Like the Chinese student who stood in front of the tank in Tiananmen Square.
11:49We are the conscience of our country.
11:53Ishai Rosensvi is one of them.
11:55I really think the real story of the occupation is there, in the checkpoints.
12:01I cannot forget this kind of picture.
12:05You know, five in the morning, quarter to five in the morning.
12:09Hundreds of people, a line of hundreds of people waiting, you know,
12:12to pass in the, in the checkpoint.
12:15And you're standing there.
12:18And you see their eyes.
12:20The, the, the humiliation, the frustration, the hatred.
12:24Then you are the occupation.
12:27You have all the power.
12:29They have no power.
12:31You can at every second take their ID.
12:36And then they are, you know, they have nothing.
12:40Because without identification, you can, you know, every soldier can, can arrest them.
12:46You are the man that stand there, keep them without rights, without freedom.
13:03The world often sees the issue of Palestine through the tragedy and horror of suicide bombings.
13:10An expression of despair by powerless people against an oppressor armed with modern weapons.
13:21The first female suicide bomber struck in January 2002.
13:26Her name was Wafa Idris, the only daughter of a family of refugees who were driven out of their home
13:33near Tel Aviv.
13:34She was 28, an ambulance volunteer.
13:49What makes an ambulance volunteer, a carer, become a suicide bomber?
13:54.
13:55.
13:56.
13:57.

15:40Rami Al-Hanan is one Israeli father who knows about suicide bombing. On September the 4th, 1997, his daughter Shmada
15:50was killed by one. She was 14 years old.
16:01She was a child of peace. She was full of life. Very laughing girl. Very good student. Dancing. Everything that
16:13little girls do.
16:20It was the first day of school and she was going down Ben Yehuda Street which is some kind of
16:29a mall to buy some books for the new year with two girlfriends of hers.
16:35One of them Sivan Saga died with her and the other Daniela Beerman was very very severely wounded.
16:44Rami is a graphic designer and a former soldier. His father survived Auschwitz. His grandparents, six aunts and uncles perished
16:56in the Holocaust.
16:56How do you distinguish the feelings of anger that any father would have felt at losing your daughter in such
17:08circumstances?
17:10I'm not crazy. I don't forget. I don't forgive. Someone who murders little girls, anyone who murders little girls is
17:21a criminal and should be punished.
17:24But if you think from the head and not from the guts and you look what made people do what
17:31they do.
17:31People that don't have hope. People who are desperate enough to commit suicide. You have to ask yourself have you
17:40contributed in any way for this despair, for this craziness.
17:46It hasn't come out of the blue. The boy that his mother was humiliated in the morning at the checkpoint
17:55will commit suicide in the evening.
17:57The suicide bomber was a victim, the same as my girl was. Of that I'm sure. You have to understand
18:08where these suicide bombers come from. Understanding is part of the way to solving the problem.
18:18Few people have been betrayed so often as the Palestinians.
18:23Before the Second World War, the British ran Palestine as a mandate. They had promised the Palestinians an independent state.
18:32But they also promised Palestine to the Jewish movement known as Zionism.
18:39In 1948, when the State of Israel was founded, the Arab world revolted as Palestinians were expelled from their homes
18:48or forced to flee in a blitz of fear and terror.
18:54Three quarters of a million people became refugees.
19:00Israel's military hero, General Moshe Dayan later admitted, Jewish places were built in the place of Arab villagers. There is
19:09not one single place in the country that did not have a former Arab population.
19:15While Palestinians were denied the right to return to their homes, anybody who could prove they were Jewish had the
19:23right to settle in Israel.
19:26In 1967, Palestinians once again fled their homes during the Six-Day War when Israel occupied the remaining 22%
19:36of Palestine, describing this as an act of self-defense.
19:45To the Palestinians, it seems that Israel's colonizing never stops.
19:52This looks like a medieval fortress. The Israelis call it a Jewish settlement.
19:58In fact, it is part of a network of armed colonies that, by one estimate, effectively control 42% of
20:06the occupied West Bank.
20:08Many of them dominate and intimidate Palestinian communities.
20:13They are illegal under international law and have been condemned by the United Nations.
20:19When I came to West Bank and saw all these settlements, Israeli settlements, on the tops of the hills, you
20:26know, surrounding all the cities.
20:27So you feel that they are superior. And you are the ants, the insect, down, you know.
20:37And you know, this is your land. It's nobody else land. This is our land.
20:42But still, they are the ones who are on the tops, and they have all the weapons.
20:47And they control also everything in the West Bank.
20:53This is Moshe Dan. He's taking me to a Jewish settlement in the south of the country, in Palestinian Gaza.
21:11I see here, this is all electrified fence along here, isn't it? Electrified barbed wire.
21:17I mean, this is almost a constant state of war, isn't it, really?
21:23I mean, if you have to put up something like electrified barbed wire.
21:26It is today. It is today. The barbed wire is new because of the situation where Jews are driving home
21:36on the road,
21:37and some guy who is supposed to be a Palestinian policeman shoots the car up.
21:47The Israelis bring with them a version of apartheid.
21:51We pass this road being built for the sole use of Jewish settlers and soldiers.
21:56Until it's opened, these Palestinians must wait hours for the few settlers to drive by.
22:03Isn't that strike you as remarkable that there is a road for only one ethnic group of people, a Jews
22:12-only road?
22:14It wasn't always like that.
22:16But it is now.
22:18It is now. The reason, because many...
22:22About a year and a half ago, a school bus was blown up, an Israeli school bus,
22:30as it was travelling from Kfar Darom by Arab terrorists.
22:36So we decided that the best thing to do would be to create some kind of separation.
22:42There doesn't seem to be any doubt that the majority of people deeply resent the presence of this settlement.
22:51Look, I don't know what the actual people, Arabs who live here, feel and think.
23:00On a political level, they, I'm sure, would prefer not to be under Israeli rule.
23:06But in terms of raising their families and supporting their families, this is, I think, one of the best solutions
23:15for them.
23:17For 35 years, the United Nations has voted on this best solution.
23:22Almost unanimously, it has called on Israel to respect international law and get out of occupied Palestine.
23:42Inside the settler's fortress is a surreal middle-class suburb dropped into one of the most overcrowded and porous corners
23:52of the world.
23:57One of the strategic aims here is the control of water, which is precious in the Middle East.
24:07While Palestinians often don't have enough running water, sometimes none at all in the heat of summer, the settlers seldom
24:15run out.
24:25And the symbol of the occupation is this wall.
24:31The thing that is striking about this settlement is that it's like a fortress.
24:37I mean, this is like a Berlin Wall.
24:38Like the Berlin Wall, very bad. We don't feel comfortable.
24:43We live here... I'm here for 15 years without these walls, fences and everything. We live very normal.
24:51This last year changed all the rules in the area. Everything was changed.
24:58The justification for taking somebody else's land is biblical.
25:04That God gave them Palestine, and God, not the history of others, is their witness.
25:11I'm here because it's obvious. That's my place. It's not something in my hands that we can, you know, we
25:18can give it back.
25:19Not me, not any politician or anybody or parliament or whatever, because it's a movement.
25:30It's something that comes 3,000 years ago when Moses brought us here, and we have in our mind, we
25:37have the dream of building a temple in Jerusalem.
25:44It's something a lot bigger than religion.
25:47Where will it end, though, if there's no compromise? Doesn't that mean conflict?
25:53Where? Life is full with conflicts. I don't know what to say. I know. Maybe I'm saying something too strong.
26:06It's 1-0 game. We will fight. The conflict is here. We will fight. It's 1-0 game. Not to
26:16kill each other, but it's us or them.
26:27On the other side of the wall is the reality of Palestine. At yet another checkpoint, people are waiting and
26:35waiting.
26:39Let me just take you on a journey from Gaza to Khanyounis. This normal journey usually takes 20 minutes to
26:47reach from Gaza town to Khanyounis.
26:49But after this checkpoint, this journey sometimes takes people from 4 to 9 hours. People, as you see here, waiting
26:57to go from Gaza to Khanyounis to guarantee the security of the passage of two or three settlers.
27:04So two or three settlers will drive along here. In the meantime, all this traffic has to bank up.
27:11Exactly.
27:12How long will these people be here, do you think? Just as a guess.
27:15These people, they will stay till tomorrow morning because the road is closed now. It will not be reopened until
27:21tomorrow morning, 7 o'clock in the morning.
27:25Dr. Al Farah's family used to own land near this crossing. The Israelis confiscated it and demolished a home. And
27:33this is typical of what happens almost every day in occupied Palestine.
27:39They demolished my house and another 26 houses the same night. I call it terrorism. Here I call it terrorism.
27:46How long had your family lived there? Maybe back to 900 years. We were in the same place. I feel
27:53angry. I feel devastated. I feel abandoned by the world. Let me be frank with you. I feel that nobody
28:00is taking care of us.
28:15This is Gaza, just a few miles down the road from the affluence of the Israeli settlement. The contrast is
28:22extraordinary. Almost a million Palestinians are trapped behind electrified barbed wire and roadblocks.
28:29Always waiting for invasion. Their defences are pathetic mounds of sand. Fear has a permanent presence.
28:40Waiting for the invasion is worse than the invasion itself. Because you are waiting, you don't know when, where and
28:49how they will hit or come in.
28:51The first time they bombed in Gaza, I was still in another flat and we had children, many children in
28:58the building.
29:14The half-built buildings of Gaza are a testament to the hopes raised, then dashed, by the talk of an
29:21independent Palestine.
29:23Without Israeli permission, most people can't leave and they can't return. They can't get to jobs. Their produce can't get
29:32to market.
29:33Most struggle to live on about a pound a day. A poverty compounded by an Israeli policy called closure.
29:43You see, for Israel to sustain this unsustainable occupation, it is transforming every city and every Palestinian town and village
29:54into a prison, basically.
29:56Surrounded by tanks, surrounded by walls, surrounded by fences. And it's not like they're building a border between us and
30:04Israel.
30:04It's building borders inside West Bank and Gaza. Between our cities and towns for the sake of their settlements.
30:12They are obliging us to be occupied people and not citizens.
30:21United States, Mr. Crime Minister, has been proud of its association with the State of Israel.
30:30Rest assured that the security of Israel is a principal objective of this administration.
30:37I want everybody to know, should I be the President, Israel is going to be our friend. I'm going to
30:42stand by Israel.
30:48Israel's occupation of Palestine would not be possible without the backing of America.
30:53In the oil-rich Middle East, Israel is America's deputy sheriff, receiving billions of dollars, along with the latest weapons.
31:03F-16 aircraft, bombs, missiles, Apache helicopters.
31:11Today, Israel is the fourth largest military power in the world, and it has nuclear weapons.
31:18We saw an Apache helicopter circling in the sky above our heads, then shooting a missile.
31:24The rockets fell just 200 meters from our house. All our windows were shattered.
31:29I had a child in front of me, my daughter, who was 11 years old, shivering from fear.
31:38Worried, frightened to death. And I could do nothing to protect her.
31:48And you don't know whether, in the second minute, you or your daughter will be dead.
31:54That feeling of impotence is undescribable, and I will never forget it.
32:04This is bomb damage in Gaza. Although America is Israel's main arms supplier, it's not widely recognised that Britain also
32:13fuels the conflict here, even though it condemns Israel for its illegal occupation.
32:18During the first 14 months of the Palestinian uprising, the Blair government approved 230 export licences for weapons and military
32:28equipment to Israel.
32:30The categories these covered included large-caliber weapons, ammunition, bombs, and vital parts for military aircraft that almost certainly included
32:40American-supplied combat helicopters.
32:42You may have seen these Apache gunships on the news firing missiles at densely populated areas.
32:50Tony Blair has said, and I quote him,
32:53We are doing everything we can to bring peace and stability to the Middle East.
33:05As much as they humiliate us, and kill us, and destroy our land, destroy everything we do.
33:15Our schools, our organizations, infrastructure, everything they like to destroy.
33:21But this gives us more power to continue and resist.
33:29In the news we get, only the Palestinians are described as terrorists.
33:34And yet the Israelis have a long history of terrorism, both before and since the founding of the Jewish state.
33:42At least three Israeli Prime Ministers have been involved in campaigns of terror.
33:49The tragic scene is like a serious incident during the Blitz.
33:53The hotel housed the British Army headquarters and the Palestine government offices, and casualties were very heavy.
33:59The commander of the terrorist group that blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946 was Maniak and
34:06Begin.
34:07Ninety-one people were killed.
34:10Maniak and Begin was Israeli Prime Minister in the 70s and 80s.
34:14He once described a massacre as a splendid act of conquest.
34:20Yitzhak Shamir was Prime Minister until 1992.
34:23He had been a leader of a Jewish group called the Stern Gang, which carried out a string of assassinations.
34:33When those Israelis, who are now famous names, committed acts of terrorism just before the birth of Israel,
34:43you could have said to them,
34:45nothing justifies what you've done, ripping apart all those lives.
34:50And they would say, it did justify it.
34:54What's the difference?
34:55I think we have now as an international community come to a new understanding.
35:00I think after September 11th, the world got a wake-up call.
35:04Because terrorism today is no longer the mad bomber, the anarchist who throws in an explosive device into a crowd
35:14to make a point.
35:15Terrorism is going to move from the present situation to non-conventional terrorism, to nuclear terrorism.
35:23And before we reach that point, we have to remove this scourge from the earth.
35:28And therefore, whether you're talking about the struggle here between Israelis and Palestinians, the struggle in Northern Ireland, the struggle
35:36in Sri Lanka, or any of the places where terrorism has been used,
35:40we must make a global commitment of all free democracies to eliminate this threat from the world, period.
35:48Does that include state terrorism?
35:52No country has the right to deliberately target civilians, as no organization has a right to deliberately target civilians.
36:02That's what Israelis have been doing for years.
36:06The present Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, has long been involved in terror.
36:11In 1983, he was found indirectly but personally responsible for a civilian massacre by Lebanese militia in two Palestinian refugee
36:22camps.
36:24At least 800 innocent people were murdered in cold blood, most of them Palestinians.
36:32What about Israeli terrorism now?
36:36The language of terrorism, you have to be very careful with.
36:41Terrorism means deliberately targeting civilians in a kind of warfare.
36:50That's what the terrorism against Israeli schools, coffee shops, malls, has been all about.
36:58Israel specifically targets, to the best of its ability, Palestinian terrorist organizations.
37:06When an Israeli sniper shoots an old lady with a cane trying to get into a hospital for her chemotherapy
37:17treatment in front of a lot of the world's press, for one, and frankly we'd be here all day with
37:25other examples, isn't that terrorism?
37:30I don't know the case you're speaking about, but I can be convinced of one thing.
37:34An Israeli who takes aim, even an Israeli sniper, is taking aim at those engaged in terrorism.
37:42Unfortunately, in every kind of warfare, there are cases of civilians who are accidentally killed.
37:50Terrorism means putting the crosshairs of the sniper's rifle on a civilian deliberately.
37:59Well, that's what I just described.
38:01No, I can tell you that did not happen.
38:05It did happen, and I think that's where some people have problem with the argument that terrorism exists on one
38:13side.
38:13Your definition is absolutely correct about civilians, and those suicide bombers are terrorists.
38:19If you mix terrorism and counter-terrorism, if you create some kind of moral obfuscation, you will bring about not
38:29just a problem for Israel,
38:31but you will bring about a problem for the entire Western alliance, because we are all facing this threat.
38:40It's hard to see the difference between what the Israelis call counter-terrorism and terrorism.
38:47Whatever the target, both involve the killing of innocent people.
38:52This is what happened when Prime Minister Sharon sent tanks into Bethlehem earlier this year.
39:00We had a day before a private hospital director who was going from the hospital in Al-Khadr to Bethlehem
39:11to get supplies for his hospital.
39:13His plate number was known to the soldier, his name was known to the soldier, and they knew that he
39:20is the director of a hospital.
39:22But he was shot by a high velocity bullet.
39:34In 1988, the Palestine Liberation Organization led by Yasser Arafat recognized Israel's right to exist and Israeli sovereignty over 78
39:45% of Palestine.
39:46It was an historic compromise.
39:51And in the early 90s, a breakthrough for peace seemed possible.
39:59It was in this room in a Jerusalem hotel that the first direct talks between Israeli and Palestinian officials took
40:06place in 1991.
40:08These led to further meetings and an agreement in the Norwegian capital, Oslo, that set up an autonomous mini-state
40:17in the territories occupied by Israel since 1967.
40:22For Yasser Arafat and his people, it was seen as a beginning.
40:26But the reality was different.
40:28What the majority of Palestinians got was a classic colonial fix.
40:34Arafat and his elite got the trappings and privileges of power, while the mass of the people got what one
40:40Israeli journalist called the autonomy of a prisoner of war camp.
40:46In July 2000, the two sides met in America to reach a final agreement, but among the issues they discussed
40:54was a profound disagreement about just how much land was on offer.
41:01Israel's Prime Minister at the time, Ehud Barak claimed he'd offered the Palestinians almost all the occupied territories back and
41:09said that Arafat had rejected this.
41:11In reality, the Israelis were expanding more and more illegal settlements on Palestinian land, even during the negotiations.
41:22Add to that the special access roads with their checkpoints, and the Palestinians say that all that was left was
41:29a group of colonies with their borders patrolled by military bases.
41:35It's very important to understand that from a Palestinian point of view, they were asked to sign in the end
41:41of the day a document which did not relate even to one of the central issues for which they had
41:46been struggling for more than 100 years.
41:49They are left eventually with an offer of 10% of what used to be Palestine.
41:55The Israelis who dictated this offer in the summer of 2000 are not even talking about a proper state.
42:01We are talking in that area of a stateless state, I would call it, a bantustan, with no genuine sovereignty,
42:09with no independent foreign economic or political policies, with no proper capital, and at the mercy of the Israeli security
42:17services and the Israeli policy.
42:20Not only that, but there is now documented evidence that the Palestinians had made an extraordinary offer to the Israelis,
42:28conceding even more of their land.
42:31But this was not news at the time.
42:37If there is no justice for the Palestinians, there will be a reckoning in the young generation.
43:10Dr. Dakhlan runs a project for children in Gaza.
43:13Ele asked these boys to draw anything that was on their minds.
43:18Most of these children are traumatized by the fear and violence of the occupation.
43:24A majority of our children are exposed directly to the attack
43:30or to the bombardment by the Israeli army.
43:33It's traumatized.
43:35There are many, many symptoms.
43:38Children became anxious and depressed.
43:43And make, for example, sleep disorder as nightmares or sleepwalking or something like that.
43:55Many, many children, they cannot concentrate well to study.
44:01Nearly every drawing is of violence.
44:04Nearly every family in Gaza has lost someone either to an Israeli jail or to violence.
44:11Dr. Delan's goal is to help the children keep the last thing that belongs to them,
44:16their sanity and their life.
44:22There is a conflict between the Israeli soldiers with the tanks
44:27and the Palestinian kids who threw stones.
44:33And they cry,
44:35There is no God except Allah.
44:39What children in other parts of the world would draw as fantasy,
44:43they draw here as real life?
44:45Yes, we're in violence.
44:47This is a good thing to protect the children from the mental disease.
44:57I don't want my child that I've been working on having for 15 years to come
45:02and when he's 10 years old, he goes to a settlement and he wants to look at his ways.
45:07And the only way, the only way to stop all this suffering,
45:12now I would say it on both sides too,
45:16is to have a Palestinian state according to UN resolutions.
45:20When will Israel agree to negotiate with the Palestinians,
45:29not for what they call a few banter stands on the West Bank,
45:33but for a state that is as peaceful, as secure,
45:38above all as independent as Israel itself?
45:42Do you want Israel to concede the terms of that negotiation up front on television?
45:49Or is it better to agree to the general principle
45:53and then sit with the Palestinians in a face-to-face negotiation
45:57once they stop violence against us?
46:01What about this, the general principle then of a state as independent,
46:08as independent as Israel?
46:10We do not need a string of adjectives to agree to.
46:13You agree to the principle?
46:14Well, that's a fair principle, isn't it?
46:16What's a state worth if it isn't independent?
46:18What we're speaking about is our willingness to negotiate with the Palestinians
46:22their self-government,
46:24and we are willing to create a Palestinian self-governing entity,
46:28some call it a Palestinian state,
46:30which will address the real needs of the Palestinians.
46:35What right have you to create somebody else's homeland?
46:39Well, we are being asked to negotiate that.
46:41We are willing to be part of that.
46:43We're willing to make a contribution to that.
46:45We are not going to up front go into details about its geographic configuration
46:50or its powers.
46:53That's part of the negotiation.
47:00I support sanctions, selective sanctions on Israel,
47:04because I tell my friends here and my colleagues,
47:07I would rather have you pay an economic price
47:11than pay the price I think you will pay in terms of human lives.
47:17The stronger party in the conflict, Israel,
47:20has to understand that there is a price for going on with the policies it carries.
47:25What do you say to those fellow Israelis
47:28who will inevitably come up with the view that in the end
47:36we are going to be pushed into the sea, this expression will be pushed into the sea?
47:40By whom? By this mosquito?
47:41We are the most powerful power in the Middle East.
47:46We have one of the greatest and more powerful armies in the world.
47:50In this last operation there were four divisions,
47:54armoured divisions against some 500, 2,000 armed people.
48:08Until recently Israel has enjoyed almost an immunity from criticism among Western politicians.
48:16This has been largely due to a fear of being labelled anti-Semitic,
48:20a fear manipulated by the Israeli government and its foreign lobbies.
48:26I think the Holocaust memory does not allow any moral criticism of anything that Israel does.
48:32Europeans in particular, and the outside world in general,
48:35are not allowed to voice criticism on Israel unless, again,
48:40what Israel is doing is akin to what the Germans have done to the Jews.
48:46And if you do criticise Israel, you are immediately charged with anti-Semitism.
48:52This is, you know, a huge bluff of, you know, of the Israeli establishment,
49:01that every, you know, criticism of its policy is anti-Semitism.
49:06And criticising your government, your country's policy,
49:10is today, I think, the only patriotic thing that one can do.
49:15The Israeli government denies it, but Palestinians fear that there are plans to take all of Palestine,
49:24trapping or expelling them indefinitely.
49:28We are not against the Jews, and that's why I have Jewish friends.
49:32We are against, politically, the governments of Israel and the army of Israel, who denies our rights.
49:39And I hope, I hope to have peace here with the Israelis.
49:43But with dignity, this is very important for us, with dignity, it means with our full rights.
49:53The Palestinians will never be destroyed, they will never disappear.
49:57We are not the Red Indians, we will not be cancelled from history just like this, no.
50:26It is not surprising that the Jewish people of Israel should feel insecure.
50:32No one should ever forget that the most devastating genocide in human history happened only two generations ago.
50:39But a true sensitivity to that awful memory comes from the same basic humanity
50:46that recognises the suffering of the Palestinian people and the courage of their endurance.
50:52The truth is that Israelis will never have peace until they recognise that Palestinians have the same right
50:59to the same peace and the same independence that they enjoy.
51:04Recently, that great voice of freedom, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, asked this.
51:10Have the Jewish people of Israel forgotten their collective punishment, their home demolitions, their humiliations, so soon?
51:20Israel's own dissenting voices have not forgotten, and those who speak out in this film honour the best traditions of
51:27Jewish humanity.
51:29If Rami, the man who lost a young daughter in a suicide attack, can understand the root cause of the
51:35violence here,
51:36isn't it time that others broke their silence?
51:40The occupation of Palestine should end now.
51:43Then the solution is clear.
51:45Two countries, Israel and Palestine, neither dominating nor menacing the other.
51:51Is that impossible?
51:53Or is history to witness the consequences of yet another silence?
52:06Well, I wish, even a man of understanding.
52:08I swear to God, the majority of people of Israel and empire are not in the midst of this movement,
52:11I swear to God.
52:11I swear to God.
52:16I swear to God, I swear to God.
52:17I swear to God, I swear to God, I swear to God.
52:19I swear to God.
52:27I swear to God.
52:29I swear to God.
