The new 1st train station as they call it a look at the. Inside the restaurants most of those people will be palestinians probably from the west bank or from marginalized areas and to the slum with very low salaries. They are treated like garbage and this alexis then is a man which to sort of get that up in no way they say if they have the guts to put up. With i love the civil like the taliban look this is the way stand. By even the most wealthy i mean the outlook nice for me. But you can come can come from the city at the pistons who works on. Our feet i would be on a bus in newcomb on me. At the will this is a good. Solution. Its a good place with. Him in the face im sure. There will be a lot of smash selling but adds a little. Study on school where he will tell you. If youve never heard of it if it happens in the. West with suitable girls missing the show the. Best. Out of the whole thing im assuming its not mechanic sophia this is a look at this map for seattle and im off to see a commander that i will only be out on he bought some having bought a. Good. Leader. My Fathers House is exactly opposite this street which becomes. An arabic or that or the colony so lets go to my Fathers House and i hope they wont call the police so well do it very quickly. This is my Fathers House the house of the amount my father lived in this house for 8 years from the fortys until 48 with his mother he was chased out of the house like most of the palestinians because they wanted to confirm the statement of golda meir that this is a country a land without people but all these people who are living in these homes in the 1998 netanyahu came into governance and as. A money money maker and many money lover he wants to privatize palestinian houses in the same time as Israeli Telecom and and electricity water all these elements which which can be privatized so that he can gain more money my Fathers House was sold for 4000000. 00 by plan who is a Real Estate Agent who came from america and. Neither my mother nor my son agreed to the fact that i am very passionately and emotionally involved in the past you can see that he didnt even come with me because hes he wants to avoid all these emotional issues when i came here last time. From outside i was taking a photo the people inside the house saw the flash they parked their car in the middle of the street they called the police they arrested me they put the handcuffs in my feet and in my hands i told them but what crime have i done whats my case i just took a photo. Not a Banana Republic we have a court system we have a court system who is definitely not in the pocket of the right wing or the religious of this country no one can get away with just driving someone in house or anywhere in this country i mean we know the british were here we know exactly who was kicked out in what es and 948. 00 the jews are also kicked out of the area taken as prisoners of war thats real being kicked out and evicted by the arab world no arab is being pushed out or kicked out of anywhere actually been driven ash no such thing. There have been wars here were seeing this country since 17 conquerors were familiar with wars that have tried to driven us out when brought here is imperialists we have returned home as the Indigenous People to our own homeland and theres basically nothing that the world or the arab world can do about it whatever attempts theyve tried one succeed the make or timid jew living in some ghetto or statue under the nazis or under the czar or under whoever it may be the pirates we are today a strong people who have come back to our lands were back here now and no amount of arab terrorism violence or hatred is going to keep me up and they will be eaten up referenced you know its a sign from a stranger that maybe taken the wrong why but it doesnt mean that me personally will handle it because we have off already. Any arab that wants to drive me out someone that wants to see some of the ones that drive me as. Someone that wants to stab my god forbid much like weve seen before you know that person will be eaten up for breakfast now that one beat that would be something i would do personally the jewish people the state the police whatever has to be done that will be handled. Not only are we looking over the temple mount seir the place where the golden dome is no thats the place the holy of holies this is what the arab world wants and this is what theyll never get. Abrahams children dont get along some brothers dont get along in this particular case in fact its even worse because theres parts of a very very violent streak in a south and l. Which is the combination and part of the muslim world today. Theres addict in that says a south hates jacob was he upset that abraham or isaac only gave certain listens to him and certain other blessings the him the children of a ram have been blessed in many different ways that the jewish people i am isaac jacob King David King solomon all the way to little daniel luria today in jerusalem is this one chain thats been blessed in a different way the little land of israel we have the covenant with god. We have returned home designers dream is being realized all the time and as the Indigenous People here the world and especially the arab world is going to have to understand that at some point in time. Today i live in. A live spiritually if i may say saw in the western part of the city he wasnt born yet in 1948 during the doc but he let the doc but is grounded in. These times are times which i got from my Fathers House actually id processed. When the house was put on c. And they were uprooting all the time was and or what is in the house i chose to put them and document my history and my story i would ultimate goal is actually to preserve Cultural Heritage and precisely palestinian culture and heritage interest knowing very well that on a daily level. Attempts to eat raise everything called palestinian anything non jewish therefore where do you think how you want to preserve and protect your traditions your rich was your roots whether its the land words food for left well hamas whether its the coffee and the embroidered dresses that israel is taking them all as a presentation. I would accept not to claim my Fathers House and i thought ok i like cept that for the sake of peace i accept not claiming my Fathers House for the sake of my son living in that injustice inequality in freedom. I see a very very very very sad depressing situation we live and i am ready what about my living here. The mother will be very emotional and very. Boxers and im about her Fathers House the toy store and about. All this stuff so shes very attached to adhere. To the past and to the emotional heritage the school thats. For me for example like i try to focus more on the present. What to do in the present like world what more can make my life better you know. Im an artist so this is important for my art because my art is not a readymade its also about exploration and investigation. I had my 1st exhilaration when i was 16. And it was a photography. At that time it was the 1st intifada on the streets who were filled with stickers and posters and. All regret fijis everywhere so it was like walking in the big piece of art series its called reconstruction because its about reconstructing. The reality of the city so these series of work is my latest work its called wonders and signs one can see it as a metaphor of jerusalem because of the layers on top of each other and layers of history the layers of writings of messages or political messages and then you have the soldiers coming in there covering them with white paint and after its covered with white paint and the palestinians come back and they put a new message on it. Jerusalem is also a big ball a big bunch of things so its not easy to find your place you feel like youre an intruder paradoxically the people that come from abroad they feel home because its their Promised Land and for whatever reason you know. Most people think that this peace has been always a battleground between religions and thats not. It was before 948 whether you were jewish muslim or christian we all saw ourselves as palestinian muslims but as the new christians but a sunni and jews. You have to know the truth but you have to understand the context most of the population of the country was palestinian mainly muslim and jewish and christian but mainly Muslim Minority was christian i dont them but son and 5 percent were jews and it has always been synagogues churches and mosques. The shared values but the underlines the relationship between us it is a book that in the gym i dont care if they play on friday or set of their sunday i care about how the treaty we are one people but what is divisive is where do you stand on the policies of your government when it dehumanizes me. Youve read the bible through palestinian eyes and we read it in the context of living under occupation jesus lived under occupation became a refugee under occupation his miracles were what done under occupation the thousands gathered around him and that occupation so we see how deeply jesus resisted occupation and we try to walk in the same footsteps. Samjhauta is one of the founders of sabean and she is an excellent writer and she has an excellent blog. Most of the israelis are secular jews but of course they use this to justify. That this is the city and then you find all these crazy christians i call they call themselves christian zionists their fear is is completely untrue because i mean when they say all the jews have to gather here the jews that israel is a happy about this part of the that theory but then so that the messiah can come and when the messiah comes they have to become christians and those who dont become christians then they will have to be killed i mean what kind of a religion is this what kind of a guard is this god when the messiah comes if they dont believe then they have to be killed if israel goes along with them to accept the fact the 1st part of it which is having them come over here but that makes many people would say well if this is if this is gods will i mean who wants gods will. Im a professor articles university and my campus is basically the main campus is about 3 minutes my coffee before the war and today i have to drive it depends on the traffic if im lucky thatll be like between half an hour to 45 minutes thats from a lucky im going lucked on but i almost kicked the wall. I feel this was terrible because at one point i had 3 kids at the university studying a diversity collectively would waste 8 hours every day going and coming back from the university. Its a separation or its a part its an apartheid wall is simply a spot a scene from palestinian only. Reason. I started this building i mean ive thought of this building for many years and i would have what i have now i have to go visit me for about 45 minutes around the north side of the vans ive just arrived this makes sense i think the people who live in trailers and they would stay and normal if you choose you know not all of you but only one day you will just like the 1000000000 more but you wanted to use your low. About 18 years with the school well he is doing but hey its 24 hours to go. In britain because of the lack of sunshine for most of the time people talk when they meet each other they greet each other and they speak about the weather they would make a different story were a Beautiful Day and he and i have not to speak at one point they speak spontaneously about the checkpoint. Today the chick point is interesting why. The new orleans is definitely different from the walls of the whole city except the walls of the city. Good moving from one jerusalem neighborhood the other through to the middle of. This is the only form of a syrian neighborhood i mean you this is a good day because many people you know its in the morning during rush hour its the most difficult time when you have students to be good people going make it work. To be being counted especially in the incident there was something that we thank you but id like. There was a was there a woman me when i got on my right because when she was trying to go to free the soldiers were not letting go they were asking god you have a good man she would say no in front of the store just so you sat down and she said i want to sell it to me. At the so i just started making fun of one so i remembered me and other young people and other people on the bus that is that the just one good thing going to grandmas and you need to go back you to do good. Theyre not going to let you but she insisted she stepped on the mound and said i want good and you dont tell him to do. So of course the army but the son. And we come home in. Instead of the something pressure on her to leave we started encouraging we saw in her leadership thats not the knots. And i remember. The point totally enforcements another 4 soldiers came in and they said grandma with guns you need to go and she said no im not going anywhere i want to go to jerusalem to preach she was insisting then 4 soldiers tried to carry her they could not then the soldiers give up and they said you know it this is how you would do you good to play and i remember she couldnt move she couldnt walk and so on she jumped. And then like a 3 year old kid without the support of the Community Without the support of anybody on the god. She made it but you know sort of. The venezuela United Nations<\/a> International Criminal<\/a> tribunal in 1907 on 7 counts of genocide but the film a businessman managed to avoid arrest using his powerful International Connections<\/a> to evade capture to go always had very close relations with irans government in france hes very well connected to our elite circles are in paris and i think use arrest and i will also raise questions about how much science he has received from the french government in recent.

S. Financial support to the dollar in april those are the headlines the news continues here on aljazeera after jerusalem a rock and a hard place station thats watching. I cannot claim today that im respecting israel because its not possible to respect an Apartheid Regime<\/a> and system which brings me and justice and fairness. When i organize the worst i try to show what we are confronting is actually very drastic and speedy transformation of our city wherever we go in this beautiful majestic damascus gate we see ours where Police Station<\/a>s would say come in microscopes set to watch and to monitor the youths and the people walking in the streets and so on this is not the political story but i just want you to see that there are Israeli Soldiers<\/a> everywhere. There is a very ugly scene today in jerusalem which i try not to beautify but to be indifferent to these ugly scenes and to show whats left of the beautiful palestine and treasures of fair the city of jerusalem. To get a. Reprieve. And this is their shadows house even if he gets his house and he never actually lived here in this house. Let alone. The. Little. League we are here in the muslim quarter you cannot go in and unfortunately because it is an occupation because before the occupation was open for everybody this is i think the most difficult and the most challenging part of the occupation. And i want to do now is take you to the center of west jerusalem and just show you how the occupation is mocked. Art of the lives and the thoughts of the people here it is as if theres a thing im originally from from my students are you from where so come visit the old homeland. Although zionism played a role in that i was able to come here you know unlike problems to be refugees only able to you know i thought the idea of israel wasnt such a bad idea if we could accommodate with the palestinians and i really believe that we could find a way to live together and so on raiden are able to dismiss that they dont think about it its the land of israel thats its in the bible its unproblematic kids ours we came back you guys. Palestinians are intruders you know and you know this whole claim that actually isnt true but the whole claim that theres are a gammick between the israel lights and the hebrews of the bible and jews of today you know is what makes that tie so you know this is our land just go back and look at the bible the and thats where israel of course gets a lot of support from christian fundamentalists. Not just in the Jewish Community<\/a> and abroad we dont use the word palestinian we talk about arrows in a very differentiated a way we never use the word occupation you dont talk about settlements their community you dont talk about settlers there are jewish residents of communities so the whole language his family everything if you talk to people what is the occupation where is the occupation what is the Palestinian People<\/a> with you know what the hell youre talking and thats where israel has really won its insulated its people so much from the political reality thats 100 meters away and so in that sense israel when does it take in the whole issue of palestine off the table for israel only would think about. You know we have to talk about all right ok great so you know. Assuming the video of this image. Is included in the blessing and in the promise of the multiplication this is. The problem is if you try and you do succeed in having an ideology imposed on politics or a mixture of dangerous mixture of and this is by the way for all christians muslims and jews its not forget it was. More than 400 years ago and the of 68 approximately he allowed the jews back in jerusalem they were prohibited from living in jerusalem for about 5 centuries. 7 they demolished the model to expand the area in front of the western wall. Demolishing everything historical buildings including the mall school to the school and they have ultimately used to grade those 2 so that they would live in that month. Tourists would buy the idea that we have well defined quarters all the way from lyons b. To a where st you have basically major christian sites. That are muslim families for example who live in the christian quarter it just when you see a christian course of the most important it doesnt sound right to build on what the for most of us my name is omar named after a mother of 4 though im a palestinian question from one of the main question families of jerusalem i was named after him and a fair amount as a testimony to the beautiful relationship and to the beautiful tolerance. Has expressed with his encounter with the phone yes my dear mother breastfed our Christian Living<\/a> her name is let me because my mother breastfed my me so we became one of them a system you know one of the sisterhood that is not to be used on a beloved you know line this is some milk relationship from roman times they had this divide and conquer and the british implemented this strategy very well. We came down from the neighborhood that i live in good infrastructure the new u. S. Embassy and then you drive down the 1st thing you get is a Police Station<\/a> a Border Police<\/a> that kind of clarifies from this point on we need to be in control and any drive through a neighborhood but because theres a settlement here the settlement behind us then you see this good infrastructure theres lights theres sidewalks and then the entrance of the settlement comes and just after it ends theres no sidewalk here in a palestinian neighborhood and you just really see the difference and the fact that nobody cares about the infrastructure from that point on because really its about. Infrastructure for jewish population. Thats the israeli plan to have as many people here as possible to be able to keep the jewish majority and if you want to see a jerusalem that is i dont know whats living in for everyone in it then it has to be one that is free of those concepts of racism thats free of zionism. I grew up in a kind of classic zionist left household so growing up knowing the war against the occupation but having no idea what the occupation is. For me one of those like a ha moments of understanding what those consequences are was actually years ago i have a sister thats younger 10 years younger than me and we were on this trip with different families it was just me and her and then different random families and we were together for a week and it was a dinner and we were all talking about you know whatever small talk and i was 22 at the time someone asked me what do you do in the military which is normal is really small talk on recession and just before i answered i saw my sister kind of her face turning into this really like the we have to get in this argument again like that have to be like this every time we just not just be normal you know and thats part of what being a dissident in different ways means saying no we cant ever just be normal. And listen Israeli Society<\/a> is the default so choosing to step out of that is is choose. To be different and the definers up is different and it has different consequences that are beyond prison its choosing to be an outsider that is the problem there its just a feeling thats there and its and its heavy in the chair but its nothing right i did that for a few months palestinians sit in prison before theyre even convicted in most cases just for the duration of the trial and for years on when they are sent straight dont you think that these measures make the people of jews in fisi thought but building walls check or in more like a military police the we live in the state of fear and we are told to continue to be afraid regardless of what the reality is and i think that this is very strong within the israeli mentality i mean security we need to be strong we need to have. We need to be always in control and so on its also very evident within the Education System<\/a> the holiday system and so on even when you ask israeli officials what is it about the wall that had to do with security like Israeli Security<\/a> Officials Say<\/a> very clearly the world doesnt prevent people from coming in inequality is inherent part of the city 40 percent almost of the city are not citizens of the state they dont have the the right to vote to be elected but more importantly they can lose that thats what zionism looks like interest because thats what the state looks like leverage that is the key thing we need to create its passing resistance and we can hope that that resistance will be popular and will not be you know armed and things of the sort. When we talk about what cut campaigns about Divestment Campaign<\/a> is about creating different frameworks of power the palestinians have to leverage to tell israel you want this to end you want this to change ok lets go to the table lets talk about what you give for that thats not the discussion thats happening today. The 1st thing that struck me really the heavy weight of history that everyone here bears and somehow feels that you know people who live in jerusalem comes from time into their lives just to carry the burden of its history. I think honestly theres a. Many needs to slow face pressure on us threats to or to move out. But if i can take the opportunity of this interview and speak through you directly to them i would say despite the cost and despite the difficulties do not give up never give up because palestinians are not people who are coming through this land and just just renting their apartments or their houses. For a short period of time before they move on their part of this land theyre part of this landscape one of our patron founders of said is Bishop Desmond<\/a> tutu little from south africa and theres this famous saying that says its if an elephant a stepping on a mouse and you leave it for the elephant and the most to figure it out youre taking the side of the elephant and this is i think most of us palestinians we feel the International Community<\/a> observing us while we are on the margins and we need help with asking help and youre right to do that youre absolutely right to demand that from the International Community<\/a> not just to ask for it in any context this would never be a negotiation between equals so how much should we wait as a list indians or can we wait we feel we are drowning and we had a fuse the down i think or that. Thats a question to you posting is how to answer and hopefully we would. Welcome to the South African<\/a> the president of the office i think its always good to see. You on a consulate here this is not the only estate so we call it in South African<\/a>s represented of authors of them but resent and its an embracing of an embassy. We see the occupation part of what we supposed to be doing is hosting palestinians home most palestinians i can host them at by this part of a hospital a d. Is to who is people at all of this and also as part of our diplomatic work but we have denied that fundamentally south africa is we actually did what was called the peace the arctic front. Those that oppose the party came together and we realized they were common principles and i think palestinians have to realize they have more in common than that which divides them interestingly we were called those so called tele said were a people nope line up to meet us people want to benefit from our experience and even the International Communities<\/a> and i want to name countries who have asked us to engage palestinians cross the border but dont you think the International Community<\/a> when it comes to south africa that has emerged as racist and it had to go away and there was strong solidarity with comes to us palestinians it seems israel has impunity we had the masses of our own destiny at the end of the day yes it is True International<\/a> solidarity did play a role an Important Role<\/a> in terms of boycotts sanctions and whatever else and isolation of apartheid south africa but if it wasnt the South African<\/a> collective who took to the streets the palestinians have to work as a collective you have a Mass Movement<\/a> in eugene is really a party i mean each people in terms of the common values that we have in terms of dignity in terms of human rights in terms of democracy and these common values would bring us together. Underneath the golden dome of today that has to be respected is the Foundation Stone<\/a> of the world. And yes there is something there today. Just let me see. Sin every religious jew believes that one day in the future there will be the 3rd temple and were told that by our prophets was saying in the desert bloom the in getting the exiles we have returned home but there are some things that in the hand of god so the 3rd temple itself very much in the same position that abraham attempted to sacrifice isaac with the 1st temple was of king solomon and the 2nd temple will also be the 3rd temple but there are some things a hand by god not in mans hand having a jew go to the temple mount today to pray to walk around the holiest place the jewish people in a place that mohammad never visited the 1st temple existed 1700 years before the dome of the rock was even built somethings in the process as we left to god the bruises began with the final burial is nothing to the temple mount theres only one tunnel and its a parallel to the western wall nothing to do with the temple man itself its absurd he steria from the arab world are people concerned about the illegal era building on the temple mount thats a disgrace and yet they managed to get away with the huge mosque on the temple mount destroying things the 2nd Temple Period<\/a> thats something that should be discussed not what the jews do walking on the outside of the temple mount. The jewish people have some responsibility to act in a certain way in accordance to the laws that were given by the bible itself its very difficult for me to know exactly today as many rabbis found it difficult to know exactly what was the specific thing the god was and with the jews about. The only people that know the future a prophets and foods and im neither. One of my Favorite Places<\/a> to be here in jerusalem without a doubt is this car door the old roman road that used to look like that. This place in israel for christians or muslims anyone were not talking about sovereignty cant compromise on sovereignty you know what hands away their homeland this is not a multicultural democratic side this is not another astray at all or america or france or england no this is a jewish state the jewish people. So we are now in the can he still pm it which translates to the church of that is that action every the very early in the morning the muslim families would open the doors of the church because the church is divided by different christian denominations and there was a dispute on who should have the keys or the key for the door so they divided the church but when it came to the consensus the agreed on and on the muslim families they knew that these muslim families are one of the suspected just look right now i mean as for the seniors both u. S. Officials and i as a as a muslim we had a very very tiny minority now when we are sitting in the hall where its just like. As if this is not our space. In the past we used to worship in this church this church just all the center of the world because a 4th of the importance of. Empty tomb of christ for some centuries we have been forced. To make space for grahams foreigners and we were moved to one of the churches outside the complex of the church of the resurrection the same thing at a much almost for example no tourist would be you know turned away if they would just go through the broken gate but there are restrictions on muslims even those who have to sit in my dear little evidence is shipped my nephew and my niece their dream is to come to jerusalem they dont have a permit their dream is to come to the church of the holy supply. The our guys that they are trying to judaize sa East Jerusalem<\/a> you are the only one that can save this city and if you will not do it it now they fear that in the future will not be now seemed too safe because the settlers they are working secretly systematically and they are taking everything they can so you should do so samson immediately that the city is under. Their respect. It was one of the founders of a settlement in the gaza strip and its that i am. With this and i was one of the found there was of. Its incredible layfield during these days so for old to be a settler it takes. The do years before i realize that something it doesnt wark each ideology has a price and the prize that we are paying for their ideology of the great israel. Is is too much is too much. 3 months after i arrive i enter it into the army and go to the army because they say that this is my are all zionist should go to the army and fi for the country. Knocked over 72 he you know the young people war started 2 weeks after a pause in jericho in front of the Egyptian Army<\/a> in cia it was in an ospital for a separate mance when i start to look around me in to see people dying. And now there is the daily news there sans or sounds that they lose their fathers then they started the process that it take me from their right to being due to their left to desire least left at the beginning and after then to do their nons are you an east left this is the place where i am now it was very hard to me to leave my right wing friends i changed my mind but they couldnt change may sashi group and it takes one year before i say ok no more right wing. Its easier to change your man aint down to change your social environment i was alone in this in the country. Weve been travelling for a week and weve seen all the reality on the ground in jerusalem its miserable youve met the politicians this is. Theres no hope you meet the United Nations<\/a> this literally theres nothing we can do it is up to you we must but it means resilient we must overcome justice for the palestinians and of the occupation join the Civil Society<\/a> of the Palestinian Community<\/a> initiatives like economic sanctions economic measures interesting documentation like b. D. S. And so on we cannot give in to the powerful is that aly Decision Makers<\/a> and their allies the trumps and the powerful in the world we must come together we all were not only for us or for jerusalem a holy place for diligence but for a future generation. Empires come and go but the people remain in the air this is the story with what has happened throughout every empire across the palestine they have this appeared and became ruins but the people still stands. I know theres some very heavy rain across southern areas of the United States<\/a> is it more the way of thunderstorms in the last year as a knock out gives you an indication as to whether meanwhile just off the coast of florida to the north of bahamas watching this tropical disturbance it could develop into a Tropical Storm<\/a> but it certainly has made for a very cloudy couple of days into miami but nothing like conditions into southern louisiana just look at the rain here this all came through some very torrential rain which was coming down steadily throughout the day not just there though up into northern oklahoma again some terentia rains and some very strong winds with these storms on look at the damage that was done this is a house that was struck by lightning and as you can see that is all that remains now that is the possibility of severe storms as we go into the next couple of days again throughout much of the south pushing across louisiana and all the way steadily tools the southeast but really this line of rain goes all the way up to the midwest not about day generally across much of the east you can see this disturbance here thats along were just watching very closely and very unsettled much the Pacific Northwest<\/a> down into Northern Areas<\/a> of california through monday just clear across the Southern Plains<\/a> but that is when you go. Into the southeast and pushing up as well around the great lakes. d polite deal grassroots activists call east speak. Lines take you inside the. Well for the democratic party.
