00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.999
Previously on Life. An urban war
zone for me is a part of the city

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.999
that has been neglected in terms of investments,
basic public services, very elementary things.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.999
There are more and more cases of children
suffering and there is a constant threat

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.999
also from other forces in society.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:25.000
Housing or to be treated as something
that people have as a right.

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.999
[sil.]

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:59.999
The Gaza Strip sandwiched between
Israel and the Mediterranean Sea

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.999
is just 45 kilometers long and 6 wide.

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:09.999
It\'s one of the most densely
populated areas of the world.

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.999
Over a million Palestinians
live here, most are refugees,

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.999
that parents or grandparents were
forced to abandon their homes in 1948

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.999
when Israel moved in.

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.999
Throughout the year 2000, the Camp David final peace talks
between the Palestinians and Israelis limped along.

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.999
In August, they finally broke down.

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.999
Tensions rose. And in September

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.999
a provocative visit to the Al-Aqsa Mosque spot
the second Palestinian intifada or uprising.

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.999
Gaza has always been hemmed
in surrounded by Israel.

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.999
Under the eye and brick of
the Israeli defense force,

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.999
it\'s become a virtual prison. No one is
allowed in or out without their permission.

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.999
[music]

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.999
Gaza is under siege.

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.999
Europe victimized the Jews.
There were (inaudible).

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.999
Of course, that\'s terrible, but in the
same time when they decided to flee,

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.999
they came to the safe
place called Palestine.

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.999
But the fact they came to Palestine

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.999
they victimized another people.

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.999
The Palestinians claim that there are
four million Palestinian refugees.

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.999
If Israel were to absorb only a part of it,

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.999
this would obviously bring the end
of political entity called Israel

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.999
and therefore this amounts
to a committing suicide.

00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.999
Erez checkpoint, the only
route out of Gaza to Israel.

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.999
A year ago, 25,000 Palestinians would file
through this tunnel early every morning

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:09.999
to work in Israeli industries, their
income a lifeline for these refugees.

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.999
But since the start of the intifada,

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.999
Israel has shut its gates to all these
workers. Al-Shati Camp in the north of Gaza,

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.999
houses more than 74,000 refugees. It\'s one
of nine refugee camps in the Gaza Strip.

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.999
Reyadh Taramsi was born here.

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.999
He\'s one of the 25,000 workers who\'ve lost their
jobs in Israel because of the Israeli clampdown.

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.999
Now he can\'t support his family.

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.999
Since September last year,

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.999
we haven\'t been able to get to work. You could
see everybody is in the same situation.

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.999
People are struggling from these things,

00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.999
such as not being able to work
or get a job. You understand me.

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.999
Life without work has no taste.

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.999
Riyadh and his wife Sabah live in this two
roomed house with their seven children.

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.999
Before, the family could just about survive
on Riyadh\'s weekly pay packet from Israel,

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.999
now life is becoming daily
more and more difficult.

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.999
They\'re like thousands of
refugee families in Gaza.

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.999
[non-English narration]

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.999
First of all, we haven\'t
had the electricity bill

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.999
because we haven\'t any money to pay it.

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.999
We can\'t pay for water, health insurance.
Also, we can\'t pay the telephone bill,

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.999
we can\'t be pay. I mean the
situation is disastrous,

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.999
not just for me, but for everyone.

00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.999
Really, over $3,000 US

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.999
and that\'s not counting the bills.
This means that in two years time,

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.999
I can\'t repay this loan. If this goes on, no
one would be able to repay one (inaudible).

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.999
[sil.]

00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.999
This is a Reyadh\'s younger
brother, he works in the market.

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.999
He is supporting his and Reyadh\'s family.

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.999
He gives Reyadh\'s children pocket money and brings
them from the market and buys them a sack of flour.

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.999
What more can I say?

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.999
Reyadh\'s son in law Ramadan used
to work as a plasterer in Gaza,

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.999
but now he\'s lost his job too because of
Israel\'s stranglehold over the local economy.

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.999
What have you been doing?

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.999
I\'ve been out looking for work from early morning, my
legs ache but I haven\'t found a job. What can I do?

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.999
What can you do? You\'re just like
everyone else, it isn\'t just you.

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.999
Well, everybody else is going to explode
if we have to sit at home like old woman.

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.999
Our economy is linked to Israel\'s behavior. If Israel
prevents the 50,000 workers going to work in Israel,

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.999
that means that 100,000
people working in Gaza

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.999
will be unemployed.

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:24.999
[sil.]

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.999
(inaudible) is the United Nation\'s
relief agency for Palestinian refugees.

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.999
With its resources under pressure,

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.999
it\'s now using emergency funds from appeal
donations to help Gaza\'s unemployed Palestinians.

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.999
It set up a temporary rotating job
scheme employing 3,000 manual workers,

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.999
but this is just a fraction
of those without jobs.

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.999
Every day work is visit the office
to see if their names have come up.

00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.999
[sil.]

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.999
Hello, we applied two or three times and our name
still haven\'t come up. Shall we apply again?

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.999
Maybe they\'ll come up.

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.999
Shall we put them a new application? You don\'t need
to reapply. I haven\'t got any money to feed my kids.

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.999
I swear the stress is shortly in my life.
This has never happened to me before.

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.999
We receive daily

00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:29.999
hundreds of applications.
We have a database

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.999
with more than 25,000 applications

00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.999
that we have already put
into the database. Plus,

00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.999
we have maybe another 10,000
are waiting to be inputted.

00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.999
What can we do? This is our situation,

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.999
all the world is watching and turning a blind
eye. Never mind, let them stay in their seats,

00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.999
40,000 people have applied here.

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:04.999
[non-English narration]

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.999
There is no money, there is no work.

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.999
Here we are running after something to eat
and we can\'t get it, there\'s no money,

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:19.999
and where can we get it and the kids want to eat.
We can suffer it, but our little kids can\'t.

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.999
Israel invaded and occupied

00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:29.999
the Gaza Strip in 1967.

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:34.999
But over the last seven years since the signing of the Oslo
agreement, the Palestinians have been allowed a degree of self rule

00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.999
and economic independence under
the Palestinian authority,

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:44.999
although Israel always retained
overall security control.

00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.999
This fragile alliance has now broken down and Palestinian
refugees are now suffering the consequences.

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:58.000
[sil.]

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.999
For Sabah\'s mother, Thoraya, the trouble started when
the Israelis came and took her land 53 years ago.

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:18.000
[sil.]

00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.999
What they are doing is frustrating
us, it\'s making us tense.

00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:29.999
We are exhausted. We are
worrying day and night.

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.999
When will there be a good solution and
when will the roads be open for us?

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.999
As long as there is a blockade like this even the young
people who don\'t think about joining the protests

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.999
will be encouraged to go.

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:49.999
This pressure results in bad things and
more pressure will cause an explosion.

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.999
[non-English narration]

00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:59.999
Shame on them

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.999
to take our land and shoot us
with tanks, we have no tanks,

00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.999
no guns, no weapons, just pieces
of stone, what\'s a stone?

00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:14.999
Two sticking points in
the peace negotiations

00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:19.999
with the refugees right of return
and the control of Jerusalem,

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.999
these led to protests and clashes.

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:29.999
Almost daily, children go to throw stones
at the checkpoints, many get shot.

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.999
At (inaudible) hospital near
the main border checkpoint,

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.999
15 boys have been admitted
with gunshot wounds today.

00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.999
Our young man here is well known for us.

00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:49.999
This is the second time to get injured
during this intifada. He\'s 13 years old.

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.999
[non-English narration]

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.999
He said that we go to checkpoint,

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:04.999
to Erez checkpoint so that
we can protect our land.

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.999
She said, thank you God for his
injuries, of course it\'s not serious.

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.999
But it\'s really, you know,
dangerous to go up there,

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:19.999
but we have to go, we are gonna just leave
this young man, you know, in case die.

00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.999
[non-English narration]

00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.999
He went there to throw
stones then they shot him.

00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:34.999
Somebody told him that his younger brother
was at the checkpoint throwing stones.

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.999
His younger brother ran away from him,

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.999
and as he was hiding, he received the
bullet. I would say two bullets actually.

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:49.999
She tries to tell them to not go.

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.999
She tries to prevent them
not to go but they go.

00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.999
I\'m afraid someone will
convince my children

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:04.999
to go to (inaudible) junction or any
point where the Israeli army is present,

00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.999
and they get hit and
killed, that terrifies me.

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:14.999
[non-English narration]

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:19.999
Mahmoud Abu Shahadah from Jabalia refugee
camp was killed at Erez checkpoint.

00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.999
He\'s one of 135 children
killed by Israeli soldiers

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:29.999
in the last nine months in
Gaza and the West Bank.

00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.999
Over 400 others have been
disabled, half were under 17.

00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:43.000
[non-English narration]

00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:59.999
He is 15 year old. Killed him.

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:04.999
On his head.

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.999
There are few Israeli commentators who publicly condemn the
military\'s response to the Palestinian children\'s protests,

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.999
but journalist Amira Hass does.

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:19.999
It has become completely unquestionable
that the army has a right to shoot

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.999
that children who throw stones
and those stones don\'t even

00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.999
tickle the army baton blocks
which make this military post.

00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:34.999
[sil.]

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.999
Despite repeated requests,
the Israeli Defense Force

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:44.999
were unable to offer a spokesperson to provide
an official response to this (inaudible).

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:49.999
[sil.]

00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.999
He\'s lucky not to understand
too much, isn\'t it?

00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:59.999
Yes, it\'s better, he doesn\'t know
what\'s going on so he is not afraid.

00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:04.999
Isn\'t that right, Akram? You
don\'t worry, do you? Good boy.

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:13.000
[sil.]

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:19.999
[non-English narration]

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.999
Of course, from now on as he grows up, he
will see everything with his own eyes.

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:29.999
Things are happening for real in front of kids,
like the missiles and the bombings last night.

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.999
Don\'t you think these kids are
aware of how their life is going?

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.999
[sil.]

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:44.999
Air raids on Palestinian cities are
becoming more frequent. Last night,

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:49.999
only two kilometers from Sabah\'s house Israeli missile
struck the Palestinian authorities for 17 base in Gaza City.

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.999
The reason, the Israeli
Defense Force claimed for 17

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:59.999
the recent attacks on Israeli settlements.

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.999
[sil.]

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.999
This is just one part of the building.

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:14.999
Can you see these two shells? One from
this side, and one from the other side.

00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:19.999
This time most of the men escaped when
they heard helicopters approaching.

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.999
[sil.]

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:29.999
[non-English narration]

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.999
Of course, they\'re made by the
United States of America.

00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.999
That\'s why they will be of the opinion that the
Israelis are the ones who always attack us,

00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:44.999
deprive us of our rights and take away
all the sweet things in our life,

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:49.999
nothing sweet is left.

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.999
I want to mention any

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.999
sort of peace can be concluded
except Israel as a state,

00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.999
as a people, as collective
conscious said fine,

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:09.999
we committed something wrong,
we victimized Palestinians,

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:14.999
we made the refugees, these people
were suffering for the last 53 years

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.999
and it\'s about time tofind solution.

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:24.999
While we feel compassion
for these refugees,

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:29.999
we think that should be a solution which
will give satisfaction to the Palestinians,

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.999
Palestinian refugees but at the same time, we\'ll
maintain the survival of the state of Israel.

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:39.999
Personally, as an Israeli Jew,

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.999
and I see myself as a child of… of…
of refugees from the holocaust.

00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:49.999
I don\'t understand why I have more
rights here than Palestinians.

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.999
The refugees right of return,

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.999
they set out in the United Nations General
Assembly Resolution 194 parsed in 1948.

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.999
It states that refugees wishing
to return to their homes

00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:09.999
and live at peace with their neighbors should be
permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date.

00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:14.999
The refugees right of return is
reinforced by international treaties,

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.999
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:24.999
the Fourth Geneva Convention, and the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.999
They do have the right

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.999
either to return compensated

00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:39.999
or to choose another place, but try to
(inaudible) is fully guaranteed according

00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:44.999
to international law, according to
UN, General Assembly Resolution 194.

00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:49.999
When Israel applied to become a
member of the United Nations,

00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.999
it was accepted on the basis

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:59.999
that it will respect the
Resolution 194 but it did not.

00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.999
To add to the family\'s other
problems, Akram is sick.

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.999
He needs surgery to correct a congenital gut disorder
at cost that the family will have to contribute to

00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.999
with money they don\'t have. It\'s an all too
common problem among refugee children here

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.999
as Dr. Mustafa Khalil explains.

00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:24.999
There is a specific health problem here

00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.999
that\'s regarding to the
situation as anemia,

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.999
as growth and development problem

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:39.999
as many things. Gaza
Strip in the (inaudible)

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:44.999
that economy of the family\'s
mission (inaudible) their income

00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.999
and they\'re here now just a
problem because there is

00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:54.999
no work for the (inaudible)
the head of the family,

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:59.999
big number of family, that
is here a problem, you know.

00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:08.000
[non-English narration]

00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.999
We must refer (inaudible)
hospital to (inaudible) surgery

00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:19.999
department and then they
decide what they can go for.

00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:24.999
[sil.]

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:29.999
(inaudible) hospital is in Rafah at the southern end
of Gaza. But the road that links the north and south

00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.999
is controlled by Israeli forces making the
trip difficult and sometimes dangerous.

00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:39.999
There are now 20 Israeli settlements dotted
along the Gaza Strip and shown here in red.

00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:44.999
They\'re all heavily guarded
by the Israeli Defense Force

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:49.999
and occupy nearly half the small sliver of land.
They have their own access roads to Israel,

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:54.999
but these also cross the main arteries
that link the Palestinian cities.

00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:59.999
The army closes the main roads
whenever secular vehicles are passing.

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.999
They also frequently close them for no apparent
reason cutting Gaza into three strips.

00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:09.999
What was taking place is actually
a process of (inaudible)

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:14.999
that Israel managed to end with the,

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:19.999
with the consent or tested consent
of the (inaudible) authority.

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:24.999
Managed to create a geographical

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:29.999
and demographical picture and
scenario of very distinct

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.999
pieces of land where Palestinians leave
and enjoy some sell through within,

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:39.999
but all are scattered and
disconnected from each other

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.999
and drowned in an ocean of Israeli control.

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:49.999
[sil.]

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:58.000
[non-English narration]

00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.999
The (inaudible) trying to stage
(inaudible) in the settlement road

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:09.999
and the idea of is guarding
them and looking the road.

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:14.999
[non-English narration]

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:19.999
We stuck it over there because

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:24.999
the Jewish government, they
close the way off every time.

00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.999
For what reason?

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.999
Okay, they have no reason, we didn\'t know.
We go into our work.

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:39.999
Now we\'re very bad, yeah, of course.

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.999
[sil.]

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.999
We are in a prison under
intensive Israeli occupation.

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:54.999
If we want to go to any country
not just Israel for work,

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.999
all the borders are shut in our face.

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:04.999
Israel\'s control isn\'t
just limited the land.

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:09.999
Gaza\'s major natural asset is its 45
kilometer Mediterranean coast line

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.999
which once provided a basic living for many
Palestinian families, especially refugees.

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.999
But now Israeli forces prevent
Palestinian fishing boats

00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:24.999
from going any distance out to sea.

00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:29.999
[sil.]

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.999
The fishing is very poor. We don\'t even get
enough to feed ourselves or pay for the fuel.

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:39.999
All night just seven boxes
and not even good fish.

00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:44.999
We haven\'t got enough good space to fish, the area is
under siege, we can\'t get to good fishing grounds.

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:49.999
We\'re only allowed to go 1.5 kilometers out to sea
which is nothing. And there\'s a thousand fisherman,

00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:54.999
how can there be any fish left?

00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:59.999
The Israeli patrol boats,
the military boats

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:04.999
come towards us and (inaudible).
Sometimes if we don\'t hear them

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:09.999
or the boat takes time and space to turn,
if we\'re not quick enough, they come at us,

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:14.999
and order two men to jump in the sea and then
they take them to areas and then to prison.

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:23.000
[sil.]

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:29.999
British government

00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:34.999
repair a (inaudible) problem.

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:39.999
They are (inaudible) Jewish to Palestine. There
is no peace. When we go back to our land,

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:44.999
this is the real peace.

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:49.999
It\'s our fourth that we left our homeland.

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:54.999
We should have stayed even if
they have killed us there.

00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:59.999
We\'ve caused our younger generations
to and headed to great problem

00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.999
because we left, but we had
to we were kicked out.

00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:09.999
The most important thing is
we want a peaceful solution,

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:14.999
why? To allow us to go back to our land
and there will be peace between us,

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.999
this is the most important thing.

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:24.999
The solution in which Israel is willing to
participate cannot be in the absorption of

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:29.999
any number of refugees in Israel itself.
You change the ratio,

00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.999
you change the balance and you
bring about the end of this

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:39.999
predominantly Jewish state that is
something which I cannot accept.

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.999
When my parents came in 1933

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.999
from Europe not because they were persecuted
by… by Israelites or just rose to power,

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:54.999
they were not religious, they were not orthodox Jews, Jews
they were Jews but not orthodox and they wanted to live in a

00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.999
predominantly Jewish state and so do I.

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.999
This is racist I mean, when you build
the state condition on the religion,

00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:09.999
you know, the fact you are Jew,

00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:14.999
you would be on airport according
to the right of written,

00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:19.999
the granted nationality, citizenship and
do injury first to close of treatment,

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:24.999
just the fact you are a Jew.

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:29.999
While, these millions of Palestinian people

00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:34.999
who lived their lives for
generations and generations,

00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:39.999
don\'t enjoy that basic right.

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:44.999
We want a compromise and
a peaceful solution

00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.999
and to implement this peace treaty in the right
way. We don\'t want to stop an every day.

00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:54.999
Start the Intifada, stop the Intifada, and
started again, this is not a solution.

00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:59.999
We want to live as well.
We want to plan our lives.

00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:04.999
Should our kids stay like this forever?
We want to be able to bring up our kids

00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:09.999
and live in peace.

00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:18.000
