uniform and using his service weapon to carry out the massacre the event further transformed the landscape of hebron and accelerated the ethnic cleansing of the old city to build this new security structure which is called the system of separation it's pretty pretty  hundred sixty thousand with about twenty thousand living in the old city also living in hebron are the six hundred settlers protected by a battalion of five hundred soldiers plus israeli police and israeli border police israelis including security forces therefore imagination because this is all of this is on market all of these stories like a store fronts it's people don't live here i mean people live in the dark night and none of the big and so you're walking out through like the main market of like the biggest city one of the biggest cities in the territories what's black here close inside we think of sort of the dignity aspects about how terrible it is that you're seeing another people walk on your street and you can't go out but it's actually much more basic than that first of all to talk about i mean if you can see we're not only talk about like young adults here i mean there are kids living here elderly people living here but also in terms of like grocery shopping you know just sort of basic goods he's the expert and the only entrance to his house is through climbing a rope going into that as you see like to the left here there is an wall in the past he used to go in and through the window but then the israeli security welded the window with these metal bars metal pieces and now his only option is to climb to the roof without open going in continued living for years till july two thousand and two when israeli settlers a block into the house and kicked them out the good thing is that the israeli security came and evacuated most of the bad thing is that they did not allow my relatives but we went to the as a fact as a result of the consequences of the presence of the suckers and the military occupation in the area that gives and direct message to the store owners to the people who come do shopping here to the people who live here that says don't now what's interesting about this military base of the office settler families who live inside the base which is contrary to every version of israel you know what i like about the settlers much they're very upfront about what they believe i mean nobody's saying here you know we're here so there won't be rockets five hundred soldiers let's say per like six hundred settlers sounds like a high ratio but in the military perspective it's five hundred soldiers per whatever thirty five thousand palestinians and then the idea of just keeping order in the city and the main the main system around that is make it something we call in the army you can eat in your presence felt like the idea that all palestinians will feel your presence at all times so that's done in a lot of different ways and from a more subtle than others but the idea is it just i don't know you're there when i was an officer non spinning tell me that was my last emphasis in the unit but also make monitoring the cadets so we did so we did a house arrest here i mean we did patrols everything these people are d we always try to explain to the groups what's unique about here that israelis can come and see and i mean there are a lot of places in the territories which were pretty much in the same way there's just no way to know and this is one of those places where israelis international can actually come and look at what's happening we actually grew up here in israel learning to you know even though history is proven every military civilian became corrupt into civil society with it we all grew up believing that we're different you know we can actually do it nice you know the military saying that you know that everybody is saying that where did we just think that's not very serious because the checkpoint is a checkpoint no matter how are you you know no matter how you behave there it's not about behaving well in the system it's about the system so it's about occupation like i was beating myself up for years and i'm still beating myself up now that you know i could hear i could've done differently and here i could've done differently and there i could've done differently now that's bullshit and you know i have analyzed every situation every type of death situation that i was in in a million believe me like them not behaving properly not understanding about a systematic problem and it's about it it's a it's a it's about it's about a problematic system a colonial project seeking to transplant large numbers of jews on the palestinian land at the expense of the palestinian population as we've already seen this is both militarily supported and government sanctioned a palestinian activist from the west bank village of hunter s now in the shadow of the mega settlement arielle named after former prime minister ariel sharon isa was paralyzed by an israeli bullet in two thousand and one his house and others are now termed one afternoon dam went to the southeast region of the west bank with some israelis who are wanting to visit their palestinian friends the group included one young man who had never before been to the occupied territories after a forty minute drive from tel aviv we were there and soon detained continent for us it's something which is happening like five minutes away from my house and it's something which is very it's something which it's not it's how you go over there you do that when you come back here it's something which is very very connected you know people but you know you hear noise in the back and some of the buildings i like finish actually on the other side of the street and there'd be like palestinians from you know from bethlehem or from whatever who are who are being brought here for cheaper labor horrible things are happening thirty minutes from useless and people don't want to see it because what does it mean above them the city of jerusalem is divided between the palestinian east and the israeli west following the one nine hundred sixty seven war the armistice line or the green line was drawn to establish a border between the israeli state and the occupied west bank this line annexed east jerusalem the side of several holy sites for both jews and muslims including the wailing wall and ox a mosque among many others sensitive to demographics the population of jews versus palestinians and the desire to maintain  israel is very careful as to how it would incorporate this holiest of cities into its territory the people who drew the line were thinking ok how can we get mexicans here to enter into israel annexed without actually having all the people on it so th they drew the border is really interesting because it stops short of all the main palestinian cities right which are less favorable to iceland versus people because this whole area was not built up this way that you see here was not nearly built up at the time in the sixty's and early  which majority of citizens otherwise my democracy where minority of jews really over a majority of non jews began have that happen because then we're not going to call it democracy where the jerusalem government has actually made it official policy to maintain the population of the municipality at thirty percent palestinian and s percent jewish but the palestinian population is already at thirty five percent and rapidly growing in response the israeli authorities have targeted palestinian housing with an expanding population in east jerusalem the palestinian community needs to build where the biblical king david is believed to have once had a part of the site is palace but is currently a long established palestinian neighborhood in the creation of this park the plan is to demolish a further eighty eight palestinian homes calloused indian families and take over their houses
