Dont have any Water Resources, there is no available water up held and into ghaza, also you cannot utilize any because underneath your land which is very limited, you dont have any Water Resources storage in the airquifers. Jordan river already already diverted and dried out, so under this plan palestinians should live with no water, which is impossible, by fragmenting not only the palestinians politically, but also geography. Particularly by fragmenting the fragmented after oslo, and now with this deal of century, in part one of this documentary series, we began a journey into occupied palestine in order to find out why Donald Trumps plan for new israel palestine was declined by the palestinian people. We investigated the issues of jerusalem alquds, settlements, the annexation of the jordan valley, and took a brief journey into the history of the peace. Process along the way we witnessed the murder of palestinians in escalated environment of violence throughout the occupied palestinian territories. We now continue the journey, turning our attention to the issues of refugees, resources, and what trumps assault on the palestinians has meant for the people of the gaza strip. After having traveled to jerusalems, i headed to the city of bethlehem to get better sense of what locals fought of the coming annexation of their lands as part of trumps plan. To find out more, i spoke with bethlehem born activist mahmoud and asked him about what the future of his city would look like under the socalled deal of the century. First of all, israel bit the segregation. Wall between bethlehem and jerusalem, which divorce the two cities from each other, and you know the historical twins between of bethlehem and jerusalem, historically, religious level, economic and social, and all this has been impacted by construction of the annexation wall and between bethlehem and jerusalem, moreover, the Israeli Government annexed the land north of bethlehem, and by the way, i am living in a small village in this area which is surrounded by a big block of illegal israeli settlement called goshayon where more than 100,000 israeli colonists are living in this block and in the east side of bethlehem is like desert which is like natural reservoir of the of the district and في it is it has been announced as a military Training Zone so 80 87 of bethlehem district will be either isolated by settlements by by pass roads as natural reserves for the israeli uh occupation and from the north it has been already isolated. As you can see in this map historically how the palestinian territories has been shrunked and the last one is the trump plan where i am living here actually if you see the white, the white territories are still under the israeli control, which means my village which is a tiny village will. Be surrounded from three sides by the israeli under israeli control, either by the apartide roads where we will not be able to use only for settlers or by the settlements themselves or by closed military zones where we are not able to to be. A question that i was also seeking to have answered was how the situation currently affects christian palestinians and whether there are any tensions between muslims and christians in the city. The richness of this diversity, the coexistence that we grown up as muslims and christians living in the city is one of the richness of of the city, even we cannot talk about coexistence because the seeds of muslims and christians grown up together in this city, neither muslims nor christians came as immigrants to the city, they are the indigenous people, from the same family you can find christians and muslims, and both are arabs, they have the roots in this city, and this city, thats where the richness where the most shameful question that you ask a residence of bethlehem is what is your religion . Coming here to a site that has so much holy significance, that has so much historical significance, and bearing witness to scene such as this wall and the occupation here in bethlehem, really almost brings a tear to the eye, seeing how the palestinian muslims and christians who live side by side in unity here together, are treated and are without dignity, and if this deal is accepted, we know that this land, which is part of bethlehem, the holy city, which lies behind this wall which is taken by the Israeli Occupation forces will be permanently separated from the heart of the city belonging to the palestinian muslims and christians here the new unigmable borders that israel want to put on the ground in order to prevent the continuity between the palestinian territories in bethlehem and all over the occupied west bank. Thats impossible for palestinians to have a state with this. Yet this is not the end of the story. We see the hope. The hope that we are able to see is the resilience of the palestinians, the everyday acts of the palestinians that counter the israeli policies and the american pius with the Israeli Occupation, this resilience actually enabled palestinians to stay in their land for for now more than a century. Many palestinians i met argued that there had never been a real genuine Peace Process and any chance of one in the future died when the us government. Recognized israels capital as being jerusalem alquds in early december of 2017. The move was rejected by the overwhelming majority of United NationsMember States and motivated the palestinians to take further grassroots action against israely aggression and the usurping of more land. This later led to a mass civilian mobilization in the gaza strip, giving birth to the great march of return, beginning on the 30th of march 2018 in the besieg. Coastal enclave, which had enjured 13 years of bloccade, as well as eight largescale military bombardments carried out against its population within that period, killing thousands of civilians. There are currently two Million People living in the ghaza strip, of which 52 are children, 70 plus percent are also refugees, all packed into area more densely populated in tokyo, with water supply which is 97 undrinkable in the. People having to live with only few hours of electricity per day. In addition to this, israel controls the airspace, electromagnetic sphere and water. According to experts at the un, the gaza strip is now officially considered as uninhabitable. Gazas great march of return was a mass nonviolent series of demonstrations which took place against the israeli separation barrier in which Israeli Soldiers killed over 300. 30 unarmed palestinians injuring upwards of 40,000. No israelis were significantly injured beyond scratches and no israelis were killed in what the likes of the bbc and cnn characterized as violent clashes. A un investigative report adopted by the un hrc as even accused israel of directly targeting and intentionally killing palestinian women, children, medics, journalists, Senior Citizens and the disabled. Israel denies any wrongdoing and claims it only killed terrorists. One such killing claimed by israel to have been committed in selfdefense was that of 20 year old razan. Razan was volunteer medic who according to Human Rights Organization bet salalum was deliberately killed by israeli sniper fire. Razan فتاه فلسطينيه تبلغ 21 عامam كانت تعمل في مخيمات العوده كمتطوعه في الاغاثه الطبيه وتوقف. الطبيه كانت تعمل على اجلاب المصابين من خطوط التماس وتعمل على معالجتهم في المكان نفسه وكانت متواجده في الميدان باستمرار وهي ترتدي الزيء الاسعافي رزان تطمح مثل اي فتاه فلسطينيه او فتاه في العالم رزان هي بنت في النهايه و عندها طموحها مثل اي بنت انها تكبر وتكمل تعليمها انها تتزوج وتكون لها بيت واطفال وانها تعيش حياتها بكل اريحيه انها تسافر وتطلع بره وتشوف العالم الخارجي من برا، ولكن للاسف الاحتلال قتل كل احلامه رزان. قامر الرزان الشاهد على جرائم الاحتلال الاسرائيلي هو ارتداءها لهذا الذيه التي قتلت من اجله والدماء التي ما زالت الى الان في هذا اللباس لرزان وهذه رصاصه الغضر التي قتلت روزان بدم بارد وهذه هذه بطاقه رزان المعروفه دوليا انها هي لها حق في الحمايه لرزان the demonstrations had slowly phased out prior to the announcement of trumps plan with gaza resident informing my team and i that the people had suffered a blow to their morale after their nonviolent resistance had failed to cause any real action to be taken against israel. The world had left the palestinians to die. In the west, many countries cosigned the israely justifications for their actions and attacked human rights activists as being antisemitic for pointing out the crimes noted in the un and Human Rights Watch reports. Since the trump netanyahu plan was announced. Israel has attacked and frettend to launch yet another military operation against gaza, which the population there feel will be enabled by the trump administration. As a nonviolent struggle in the gaza strip had slowly declined in numbers, i wanted to see what the mood was like in the west bank, in a village that had one of the longest running weekly protest movements in all of palestine. Weve come here to the west bank village of belain, which has been nonviolently resisting the illegal Israeli Occupation for. 15 years after most of their land was taken away from them by the wall and the settlements you see behind me, so weve come here to investigate after the announcement of the deal of the century what this means for the palestinian People Living here. I met up with the leader of the local nonviolent demonstrations for the village, abdullah aburahma and questioned him on the socalled deal of the century as well as what steps are going to be taken to tackle it. By this deal, i think uh. Another nak for palestinian and for this we as a activist for nonviolence resistance in palestine, we ask all of the places, all of the people to be in one group or to use this type of violence resistance to stop this deal, when we talk about the wall, the wall is separating between us and our land and the israelian plan to build more homes, more settlements behind the wall, for this its not as the israelian says, this is for. Security reasons, this is for confiscated more and more and more land from the palestinian, they throwing and shooting and firing cars, homes, farms, by this way, i think its difficult to continue our life with this criminal people. The wall built on palestinian land, which the demonstrators are protesting to have removed, was ruled by the International Court of justice to be a. And demanded its immediate dismantlement, as the day went on, the violence only increased with tear gas flying everywhere, it became abundantly clear that the israelis wished to send message to those protesting that they would pay a price for their resistance. In the early hours of the following morning, we were awoken by the sounds of gunshots, my cameraman humdy sprung into action and we went down to see what was going on. I quickly came. To realize that the Israeli Occupation forces had come to arrest children who they accused of throwing stones, a crime to israel which can land you up to 20 years in a military prison. This child is only 14 and his arrest constitutes violation of international law. The crime that you are seeing was no one off. Israeli force his arrest and detain palestinian minors a near daily basis in the west bank with thousands of documented cases proving that. Israel will detain and arrest children even under the age of 12. The campaigns of arrests only increased after the announcement of trumps palestine israel plan. After rough night being awoken to the sound of soldiers entering and trashing palestinian homes, i turned my attention to another core issue which is often overlooked, water. If you ask palestinians here, the occupation is not just the soldiers, its not just the settlements, its every. Its the water, its the land, its how they will get electricity, how everything works here is under occupation, and see the water here that youre seeing flowing past us was intended for palestinians, but however it has been diverted and goes to an illegal settlements. This is just one of many areas in the west bank where you will see something as simple as water, impacting the lives of palestinians a daily basis and making it so that they can cannot live with freedom and with dignity, even to have their own water to supply themselves, to drink, to wash and to power things, to get more insight and to how the occupation of water would affect a potential palestinian state. I spoke to raslan muhammad yasin, an engineer who worked on past Palestinian Authority proposals for peace deals, working on the plans for water allocation to a palestinian state. We also traveled to Natural Spring called jariut, where i was shown around by local palestinian farmer named abu hatim. It is impossible to survive under discipline. And uh simply you dont have any Water Resources, there is no available water up hills and into ghaza and also you cannot utilize any because underneath your land which is very limited you dont have any Water Resources storage in the airquifers and the jordan river already already diverted and dried out so under this plan palestinians where should live with no water which is impossible the land you are seeing here with likely be confiscated under trumps deal and would result in the displacement of Farming Families here as well as the loss of access to water for the surrounding villages benefiting from jariuts Water Resources, one of the few springs that is still under control of palestinians. Israel is controlling all the Water Resources from jordan river to by tiber lake and the ground water equifers and nowadays even springs, so out of this conclusion is that they can give limited quantities to palestinians and maybe is around the 10 is going to palestinian side which is very or it is under the international quantities or who standards for the per capita consumption for domestic use more over israeli already israeli side already digged many wells thousands of wells around gazza strip and this of course will cut the natural flow into the gaz equifor. That already will decrease the deterioration of the equifer, which means that it will not be replenished or not be recharged with new or yearly recharge that could come into gazza, and under this mining of course it will bring seawater entrogen which will have irreversible effect. Even in the main city of ramala, water is regularly cut as israel has complete control over the areas Water Resources, taking water from palestinian land. And selling it back to them a higher price than what israels are required to pay. Everybody will be just searching for water and then he will be struggling for a glass of water. And since we have no any Water Resources and it is mainly controlled by israel so israel side who is controlling the Water Resources, he can control the shape of our life in the future, which is you can imagine that the life without water is very miserable. For years the amount of. Border allowed to palestinians has sat below World Health Organization standards with the Human Rights Organization alhuck finding that Israeli Settlers get six times more water than west Bank Palestinians average according to the un ocha at least 180 westbank communities are completely without any direct supply of water. Around 2000 people in the gaza strip are also without any direct link to water system with the water. There being 97 unfit for human consumption. The water situation in gaza is so bad that leading scholar on gazas economy, sarah roy from harvard university, has essentially said that israel is allowing for the systematic poisoning of million children in gaza. Many palestinians currently still live inside of palestine, but unfortunately the large majority of palestinians have not been able to remain on their lands after being displaced to all corners of the globe. Many still stateless and living in refugee camps. The issue of refugees began with what is known as the nakba or the ethnic cleansing of palestine between 1947 to 1949 when zionist militas such as the hagana, stern gang and urgoon massacred thousands of palestinians and expelled around 800,000 people from their lands. Another ethnic cleansing of a further 300,000 people also occurred in june 1960. When israel illegally occupied the west bank, gaza strip, the syrian jolan, and the egyptian sinai. The palestinian right of return to their homes, that many still own the keys and deeds to, is a right enshrined in international law, with recognition ranging from Un Resolution 194 to the recognition of the right of return by leading Human Rights Organizations such as amnesty international, yet this right is denied of the palestinians by trumps deal, and after visiting countless refugeee families, i began to understand why this final status issue, as it is referred to as, is unnegotiable for the palestinian people. This. This is because the large majority of palestinians are refugees, whether displaced internally or externally from their homelands, and any peace solution cannot reject these refugees. A just solution must include these refugees as human beings and must also recognize these refugees as being palestinian, something that the Israeli Regime and us now wish to deny of the refugees, their very identity. With the Us Withdrawing funds to the united nates relief and works agency set up to support palestinian refugees, it is clear that trumps deal is nothing more than an israeli and christian evangelical rightwing plan to inflict a final blow against the palestinians, making them irrelevant to the ongoing european settler colonial project. The issue of why palestinians have historically entered into negotiations with rightwing administrations like Donald Trumps america and the current israeli leadership. Was addressed famously in 1970 by gasen kanafani when interviewed by richard carlton, and even though kanafani was killed by an israeli carbong two years later, reflects the feelings of many palestinians until this day. You dont mean exactly peace talks, you mean capitalation, surrendering. Why not just talk . Talk to the israeli leaders. Thats kind of. Relation between the sword and the neck, you mean, well if there are no swords and no guns in the room, you could still talk, no, i havent been, i had never seen any talk between a colonialist case and National Liberation movement, to stop fighting, to stop the death and the misery, the destruction, the pain, the misery and the destruction and the pain and the death of whom, of palestinians, of israelis of arabs, of the palestinian people. Who are uproted, thrown in the camps, living in starvation, killed for 20 years and forbidden to use even the name palestinians, the better that way even dead though, maybe to you, but to us, its not, to us to liberate our country, to have dignity, to have respect, to have our mere human rights, is something as essential as life itself, one thing was absolutely clear from my journey through occupied palasty. And that was that palestinians were not going to give up their freedom anytime soon, so the question now remaining to be answered, is our palestinians and israelis to be considered as equal human beings and allocated the same rights in a real democracy, or is the Current System of israeli privilege going to remain as palestinian rights are trumped by the claims of security and wants of the privileged israels in a permanent state of apartide. And if this is to be the case, what will separate the condition of humanity from the barbarism the past, which we like to think, احنا هدفنا واحد هو بس انقاذ واخلاق ونوصل رساله لعالم انه احنا بدون سلاح قادرين نعمل كل شيء هذا حب انتمانه للوطن يعني هذا عمل انساني ما بدنا عليه مقابل نحن بدنا نقدر تعبنا الله بس مش مستعد يعني ما بدنا مقابل من اي حدا. لرواتب ولا توظيف بدنا كثير سالوا بابا بنتك هي طب ما بتاخد رات حكى لهم انا بنتي بفتخر فيها انها تتقدم شيء انساني لابناء لابناء وطني يعني ك كمان بنت وخصوصي نحن المراه عننا منتقده كثير المجتمع بس المجتمع لازم يتقبلنا غصبا عنه لو بده يتقبلنا بارادته بيتقبلنا غصبا عنه لانه احنا عندنا قوه اكثر من اي راجل القوه اللي نحن بنمتلكها القوه اللي استرجلت فيها اول في اول مسعفه في الاسبوع الاول بتحداها بتحداء اللاقيه عن اي شخص. Israel started two wars on gaza, it resulted in destroying the infrastructure and ruining most fields. Israel has been imposing a siege on this trip for more than seven years, in addition to blocking the crossings and preventing people from traveling. Palestinian women played a significant role in highlighting these issues in media. We as journalists are capable of delivering our message. I havent faced any difficulties, i mean the Palestinian Society accepts the woman as part of it, so they even support us for my job right now, to breave that you are strong to be here in this position. Your headlines on press tv israel says it will intensify it indiscriminate bombing of the besieg gaza strip after killing thousands of palestinian women and children in the past two weeks. A group of un agencies have warned that the humanitarian situation in the besieged gaza strip is turning catastrophic. Israel our people around the world take to the streets to condemn israels atrocities against the people of palestine
