[man vocalizing Arabic prayer]
[overlapping chatter]
[sirens blare]
[announcer] The Israeli forces continued their attack
resulting in the death of 7 young men who where working
in Beit Lahia, 6 of them from the same family.
President Abbas mourned the death of the young men
who died by Zionist enemy shells
and Aljihad movement issued a statement this morning
threatening to avenge these brutal attacks...
[man] In 2005...
In the second uprising...
We are going to Beit Lahia to meet the enemy...
Israeli soldiers and officers with hands stained with blood.
They might be Shabak...
They might arrest us, assassinate us...
We were born under occupation.
So we were ready to do anything
in order to get our freedom.
Even this.
[announcer] ...and left in Iran
over 500 dead.
The five killed in the suicide bombing of a Tel Aviv restaurant
were buried this morning
The "Fallen of El-Aksa" have claimed responsibility .
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has said that the IDF will not rest.
[man] Someone called,
there are people who want to meet with us.
As soon as we crossed the roadblock
our fears began to increase.
These people have blood on their hands and are dangerous.
We're a group of Israelis, so this has to be a trap.
I believe that everyone knows that we're Israelis.
Another two notice, it's been planned out.
We don't have any weapons, nothing at all.
I say to myself that I have
no idea how this will end.
My story begins with my grandfather.
My father's father, he was born in Poland.
He was the crazy Zionist of the family,
and that's the reason he left Poland
in the mid '30s of the twentieth century.
[ship horn toots]
[Chen] He left his family and immigrated to Palestine.
All his brothers and sisters
and parents and uncles and cousins and aunts
and everybody...
No one survived.
Zionism actually saved my grandfather.
And that's the reason that we have a family now.
[shouting]
We hereby declare the establishment of the
Jewish state in the Land of Israel, the State of Israel.
[applause]
[Chen] Israel is really the only shelter
in which Jewish people can live in security,
and not to be slaughtered, not to be massacred by the others.
[Golda Meir] On Saturday morning,
the first Egyptian planes
bombed Tel Aviv.
Arabs are invading the State of Israel.
Jews are fighting for the only thing
that they have in their possession.
In the beginning of the journey...
My family's journey, or Palestinian people's journey...
The state of Israel is Palestinians's Nakba.
in 1948...
My family lived in a Palestinian village,
called Laqbeba,
my family lived there for generations...
In 1948 the Israeli Army occupied most of the villages,
all the people of the village fled including my family,
except my grandfather,
he refused to flee away.
Hence he died in his house.
My family moved to live in Dhaisha camp,
and they're still there.
[alarm sounds]
[Chen] I was four years old
when we were attacked on Yom Kippur.
I remember the sirens.
I remember us running to the shelter in Tel Aviv.
My father was holding a radio transistor
and pulled the antennae out of the shelter
in order to hear the news and to update the people in the shelter
what is going on.
[man on radio] The IDF spokesman reports that about 2:00 PM the forces of
Egypt and Syria opened attacks in the Sinai and the Golan.
[Chen] Then he left the shelter and he went to join the war.
[man on radio] As a result of Syrian air activity over the Golan
air defense sirens have been sounded throughout the country.
[Chen] There is a real threat.
I mean, it's very concrete for a child:
They want to kill us.
[Israeli military radio chatter]
[Avner] I grew up in a kibbutz not very far from Tel Aviv.
In my teen years,
I became more aware
of what it means to be an Israeli.
And I think that, more than anything, it was the army.
War stories and war memories
were all around, you know?
In school, in the ceremonies...
My uncle died in the war.
I never got to know him,
but it was, you know,
in the family.
[sobbing]
[muttering]
[singing]
[weeping]
[man] When I was 10 years old,
my uncle, who was a fighter in PLO, was killed in Lebanon.
[chanting]
So I asked my mother a few questions,
such as "why there isn't a Palestinian army?"
"Why we don't go back to our country?"
[arguing]
She said we're living under Israeli occupation
The Israeli Army and Israeli people...
They are ruling the Palestinian people.
Let it be clear,
no matter how long it takes,
no force on Earth can deprive
my people of the right to statehood.
Each time they demolished a house in Selwan
there was a police or army forces
to protect the bulldozer that will demolish the house.
[shouting]
[woman screams]
When I was young I was not allowed to be there
because it's dangerous.
[sobs]
[screams]
So we were watching from the roofs,
or from a balcony...
We were watching and feeling the pain.
[crying]
There was a tremendous anger...
[gunshots]
[reporter] Arab terrorists attacked an Israeli town today
for the fourth time in two months.
Sixteen Israeli high school students died
and 70 more were wounded in the Palestine terrorist operation.
[shouting]
[reporter] The three Arab terrorists
had been hiding in the area for several days,
but nobody could find them until they struck
at a school full of Israeli teenagers.
Only the massacre of 18 Israelis
in the town of Kiryat Shmona a month ago was worse,
but the death toll here may top that
if some of the wounded die of their injuries.
The terror is a continuous activity
and will require a continuous response on our side, too.
Since I was born I saw by myself
how the occupier destroys us, and kills us.
The first martyr I knew was Ibrahim Mansour.
A college student was visiting his parents in our neighborhood
And they stormed Tulkarem...
And they killed him at our doorsteps.
I cannot forget the blood I saw.
[Palestinian music playing]
I loved the Palestinian revolutionary songs.
I used to lock myself in the room to listen to them.
I used to dream to become a fighter
in the Palestinian revolution
to wear the Army suit and the Kufiya...
The common weapon back then was the AK-47,
And I wanted to be part of the Armed struggle...
And I watched on the TV...
Also the horrific images...
Of Sabra and Shatila massacre that took place in
the Palestinians refugee camps in Lebanon.
[shouting in Arabic] Who did this to us, my mother.
[woman continues shouting in Arabic]
I had tremendous sympathy with those people,
and I felt an urge to avenge.
I was willing to sacrifice my life for these ideas.
[cheering]
[whistling]
[clamoring]
I joined the army when I was 18 years old.
I went to a tank unit.
[Avner] I was admitted into Sayeret Matkal,
the prestigious unit in the Israeli Army.
I was extremely proud.
I knew my father was proud.
[Chen] When we finished basic training,
I was sent to the West Bank.
All the occupied territories were under curfew,
so, obviously, at night nobody is allowed to be outside.
The army forced a curfew from 5 p.m to 5 a.m
every day, and whoever gets out in these house was arrested...
Or... was harmed.
I was 2 weeks to become 16 years old.
My brother Nasser was 14.
He went out from our house to my uncle's
which was 50 meter away...
When encountered army in his way he was afraid and escaped.
The soldiers followed him and shot him.
And of course he died.
I don't know how at the time...
I was able to endure the situation...
I felt as if the sky fell upon my head.
In Israel, there were more clashes during the night in the Occupied Territories
between troops and Palestinian demonstrators.
[shouting]
As soon as I got the chance I began throwing stones.
The soldiers in the patrol
might shoot at you...
But you can hide behind some kind of barrier...
Throwing stones, and you are masked...
Even if you're carrying a stone and he is carrying a gun
You feel some king of balance.
Our aim was not to kill him,
but it was discharging our energy and big hatred
towards this entity which caused our pains.
[Chen] There were hundreds of people demonstrating,
shouting, throwing stones.
Rivers of hatred and hostility and violence.
And I felt that I have to defend myself.
[gunfire]
And I really didn't understand,
why do they hate us so much?
I did not have any fear at all.
But the oppressor and occupier must be defied.
[tires screech]
We were under a real volley of stone throwing, Molotov
cocktails and brick and such. They injured soldiers
from my battalion.
[shouts]
It was clear to me that the Army had to increase the
number of troops
in order to protect our civilians
We must make it clear to them where we are and where they are so they won't dare do anything.
[Chen] If we won't keep them here, quiet, under our domination,
they will be in Tel Aviv slaughtering us.
After a while it was not enough to throw stones only
or throwing Molotov...
So I needed to access weapons.
Me and another guy
decided to attack one or two Israeli
and take their weapons.
I did not have a detailed plan...
I might get killed or kill...
I was standing behind one of the two Israeli
and I stabbed him...
And become like you're watching a play.
The fight ended and we escaped.
After a day or two the army came and arrested us,
and I felt like going to the unknown...
[machines beeping]
[military radio chatter]
I spent my military service as an IAF officer
in a command center.
Earphones over the ears like so, walkie-talkie,
sitting in front of a screen. At that time there were still
round analogue screens that looked like they had been
taken from the series "The Time Tunnel."
In order to monitor and support flight operations
that included deployment of bombs.
[explosion]
[shouting]
The martyrs count increased,
every day more martyrs...
Children...
[child crying]
[woman shouting]
My cousin martyred, a 17 year old.
He was going out the mosque.
Another cousin, a 14 year old martyred too.
A little child coming from school.
My sister's sister in law also martyred,
She was 15 years old.
[police sirens blare]
One day my daughter came from school screaming...
A little girl was killed in their school.
She used to wake up screaming every day.
I was very concerned for my daughter.
I felt choked.
I held a tremendous grudge against them.
This is not right.
I started thinking "what is my role in life here".
So I decided to do a Suicide attack.
[screaming]
[reporter] Terror on Jaffa Street.
A suicide bomber disguised as an Orthodox Jew
stepped onto city bus number 14 right next to the main market.
[Judy Woodruff] A suicide bombing in Israel
outside a crowded beach discotheque near Tel Aviv.
[Tom Brokaw] One of the worst suicide bombings yet,
tonight at a resort hotel in Northern Israel...
a murderous day...
More than 20 people dead tonight...
[Reporter 3] Twenty-six people were killed and more than 200...
[Reporter 4] The death toll is at least 19 and could go higher.
-[Reporter 5] Among the victims... -[overlapping voices]
[Reporter 6] Burned or cut down by shrapnel.
[Judy Woodruff] Police are saying those are not final numbers...
[Wolf Blitzer] Mostly young people, and the counting continues...
[Judy Woodruff] At least 15 dead, at least 35 injured...
This suicide attack tonight is the third within the past week here.
It comes after several Palestinian...
It is antagonizing and angering causes the feeling...
Simply the feeling of terror.
My situation was so complicated.
How am I going to abandon my daughter?
How to abandon my family, my mother?
How to abandon life?
But they did not leave us any other choice.
We were laterally living in a graveyard of living.
[shouting]
One day before the operation I decided...
To tell my daughter what I was going to do.
I said, "Dodo, My sweetheart,
I love you so much, and you know how much...
You are the most precious thing in my life,
and I don't want to abandon you...
But what is happening is very hard for us to accept.
We are dying...
Like guinea pigs...
And nobody cares about us.
I am going to do something so you can live.
I am going to wear a belt...
And blow myself up among Israelis."
She said, "what do you mean? Are you coming back?"
I said, "How can I come back?"
"No, I'm not coming back. I am going to die."
She said, "What do you mean? I'll never see you again?"
I said, "Yes, but you'll have to look up to the sky...
You'll find a star..."
I preferred to go out while she was asleep.
I looked and the army was everywhere.
And they arrested me.
She is 24, divorced and the mother of a four year girl
from Tul Karem. She was caught during this past week.
Shlomi Eldar interviewed her at the Kishon Prison.
[Shlomi] What are the operations you did?
What do you mean?
Terrorist operations.
It's not terrorist, it's martyrdom.
You are terrorist.
On the contrary, it's martyrdom.
What is the difference?
There is a big difference.
The terrorism is to kill...
and do...
-without any on... -what did you do?
-what are you doing? -Defending our homeland.
[Chen] One night, we were doing this patrol.
All of a sudden we got a Molotov cocktail on our Jeep.
After a few days, we got information
on who threw the Molotov cocktail on us,
and we got an order to arrest the guy.
We were all with guns and very alert.
Where is the wanted man?
It's very quiet, but very tense.
Then all of a sudden the guy from Intelligence pulled our guy,
and in front of me I see a nine or ten-year-old boy.
He's still half asleep.
Then he said, "It's him."
It was a little boy.
It was on the first day of a military operation in Gaza,
which began with an enormous flyover in the south of Gaza
and tons of iron were dropped.
All the while are talking with planes, you're Ok'ed to attack.
[inaudible]
I am not occupied with the question as to what
goes on as to say behind the screen.
I don't even understand what we are attacking.
But out of that small point in southern Gaza came
horrible pictures 15 minutes later that we saw on TV
in the clubhouse.
There was something in the sterile distance digitalized and air conditioned way it
was portrayed as opposed to the horrendous reality...
that something snapped.
I was in a room with prisoners...
who spent more than 10 years because their participation
in fighting the occupation...
And we watched a film about the holocaust.
I thing it was Schindler's list,
And the film touched us, and we were crying.
This is complicated situation, because...
We are talking about parents and grandparents
of our jailers.
And we felt a great sympathy and solidarity with them.
I became more open to, meet with Israelis.
And I learned how to read Hebrew.
And understood the struggle from deferent point of view.
I tried to see the picture...
Out of context, kind of.
I used to think that all Israelis are the same.
Evil.
One day, one of the jailer lost her brother
in one of the martyrdom attacks.
So we expected that after that she will treat us brutally.
That jailer said, "believe me, I'm not upset."
"I'm against all the violence."
"And as you die we die."
"The blood causes blood."
"I wish to live in peace."
I started to reconsider a lot.
I found that there is goodness.
Goodness is possible.
[Chen] One day, at a checkpoint,
I see a taxi filled with children
and the driver is explaining to us that these are sick children.
He asked us to let them go to hospital.
And I said, "No. These are the orders.
You don't have permit, you have to arrange that."
And then... And he's like, you know,
his look was like he was about to kill me.
And at that moment, I got a phone call from my wife,
and she's telling me,
"I know that you are in reserve duty, but I have a problem.
I cannot pick up our daughter from the kindergarten.
Can you talk to your mother that she will pick her up?"
And I said, "Yes, of course." I mean, what a question.
And I'm doing that, and I hung up,
and I call my mother, and I arrange that.
And at the same time, my sight is on the cab with the children.
And I feel that something is extremely wrong in this situation.
[inaudible]
[Chen] I realize that there is a split here between me as a father,
responsible and worried for my daughter, and me as a soldier.
Looking at these children,
I'm not able to really see them.
That they are exactly in the same situation right now.
They need a responsible adult that will take care of them.
I knew that this split, I cannot live with anymore.
Um...
One day, I came home...
There was bus explosion in Jerusalem...
And there were a lot dead.
The majority was children.
And my mother was crying.
I said, "Why are you crying? it's not in Palestine,
It's in Israel!"
She looked at me and said, "Those dead children...
Their mothers will suffer the same pain I suffered,
it's the same pain,
And it's the same blood, with same color.
And the suffering of the mother who loses her child,
Israeli or Palestinian, is the same exactly.
These things shook me deeply.
That means any thing... coming from me...
Like avenge another person,
I will cause the same pain that my mother suffered.
So it's hard for me to cause pain to any mother.
because I understand the meaning of mother's pain.
That's it.
[Avner] My sister asked me to join her in the Occupied Territories,
where Palestinians had been evicted by the army.
We were going to bring them blankets.
For the first time, I was, as a civilian,
in the Occupied Territories among these radical "lefties."
And on the other side were the soldiers,
with whom I identified more.
When the army declared this area a closed military zone,
my instinct was, okay, we are to go home.
The army said we have to go home, so let's go home.
But these people, they wouldn't go home.
They said, "Look, we're here. We brought blankets
to people who are now out in the cold
because you demolished their houses.
And we're gonna get there."
And I realized it's my army. It's me.
One of them was thrown on the floor and they beat the shit out of him.
And he just shouted, "Go on, go on. March on."
And everybody just marched forward.
I was so impressed.
The military takes courage, you know?
But sometimes civilian courage is so much more.
This is when I said...
I'm not going to be part of it.
[Chen] We find out that there are many officers
and combatant soldiers
that are feeling it's time to take responsibility.
Not to be part of the Israeli mainstream, but to transform it.
[Avner] We had a few meetings
in which we drafted a letter to the Prime Minister.
It was Ariel Sharon at the time.
[Chen] We declare that we are willing to fight
for any cause that is serving the security of Israel,
but the occupation is not such an action
and we are not willing to serve it anymore.
[Avner] We are not against serving in the army,
we are against turning the army into a mechanism of oppression.
We are not willing to expel, humiliate and starve 3.5 million people.
And then it all blew up on the 8:00 news.
Good evening. There have been commendations from all sides of
political, military and public spectrum regarding
the new Dissenters' Letter.
Anyone who will not obey will be prosecuted.
They are objectors without any conscience.
And they are an embarrassment to the State of Israel and to Jewish people.
-Hello, Avner -Good evening.
Before we continue, let's clarify, are you required
cover up your identity or is it your choice?
I need you as per security regulations
Okay, you are a Sargent Major in the reserves.
How many years are you with the General Staff squad?
-Ten years. -About, yes.
What has caused you at this time to sign such a letter?
This not a simple step. It has caused a lot of anguish to both
-my friends and myself. -Hm-hmm.
This between us this is an act of patriotism.
From now on,
this will no longer be acceptable.
In the detention period we had a cultural committee.
We called it revolutionary universities.
We learned about other revolutionary experiences
in the world. We studied Gandhi in India,
And Nelson Mandela in South Africa.
In order to achieve better conditions in prison
we decided to use the nonviolent resistance
and we started a hunger strike.
We felt stronger than the jailer despite...
despite the fact that he controls the doors.
And we achieved what we requested.
I got out after 10 years and 5 months in prison.
And started with others to think of alternatives
to the facts of the second uprising.
[chattering in Arabic]
[woman shouts]
[whistles]
[trilling]
[family members speaking Arabic]
After 6 years I got out.
[man speaking over loudspeaker]
[fireworks pop]
I was determined to send my message.
Enough with blood.
[overlapping voices]
[voices continue]
[phone ringing]
[Avner] One day, one of the people in the refusal group
called me, saying, "There's a bunch of Palestinians in Beit Jala.
They heard about the whole refusal movement
and they are interested in meeting us."
And I said, "Where?"
He said, "Beit Jala, it's near Jerusalem."
Um...
You know, and I was thinking,
"That place is probably full of Arabs, right?"
[laughs] We are refusing to serve in the Occupied Territories,
but when somebody's organizing a meeting with Palestinians,
the first thing that comes to my mind, that who is going to be...
responsible for our security?
And the next thing that comes to my mind is that I need a weapon.
I was very afraid,
it might be a trap.
Kidnapping or arrest or killing...
[Avner] We get there and there's one Palestinian saying,
"Look, there's going to be a wedding here soon.
So, just cross over to the other side
and there are cars waiting for you."
If they want to kidnap us and hold us hostages,
or kill us, they could just do it.
We don't really know who these people are.
I looked at their faces asking my self
"Who killed my friends?"
I felt a great deal of anger. They were terrorists
as far as I was concerned.
I'm looking at those whose role was to fall when I shoot.
The enemy.
I felt that they could kill me without blinking.
I felt like eating them,
I can't stand them. who are they.
They killed me, and my family, and my relatives.
When you look at their faces
and to their body language
You remember all...
The images of the armed Israeli soldier.
[Chen] The first step for healing and the first step
to build trust, is to confess.
We decided to exchange our personal stories.
But how can I trust them, and tell them what I did.
[Chen] Would I say the name of the village
where I demolished a house?
Somebody here in the room might be from that village,
and then he or she will say,
"You've demolished my sister's house,"
or, "I was living there."
When I say that I attacked 2 Israelis...
I will see in their eyes
some kind of tension.
When I finished telling the story, they came and
shook my hand with mixed emotions as if to say
It's not easy for us, but we're glad you're with us.
I was very surprised.
[Avner] We find that we actually have something in common.
That willingness to kill people you don't know.
We know that we and the Israelis...
2 sides living the suffering because of occupation
we discovered that there is mutual interests
We're Israelis and Palestinians but have the same message.
We want peace.
[Avner] It was destabilizing.
It got me thinking about so many different things,
things that I never really thought about.
I started to think about everything from the other side.
All these heroic operations
I read about when I was a child.
How did they seem from the other side?
On the way back, an Israeli checkpoint stops you.
And you see another Israeli have the same look and language
so you feel tremendous contradictions
in the same day.
Suddenly I can talk with much forgiveness and empathy.
I know that if I was in his shoes
that I would probably think the same way.
It is indispensable for a fighting system
to deny the humanity of the other side.
Otherwise, how could you possibly kill somebody?
He has family. You know?
He has hopes, he has fears, he has...
dreams.
No, he has to remain this somewhat vague-- He has to remain a target.
Not a person, not a human being.
Something new was born in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
In 2006 we agreed to establish common groups
for the purpose of ending the occupation
and achieve a real peace between the two people.
And we named ourselves "Combatants for the peace".
[man] I want a-- I want better politics.
[laughing]
[chattering]
[Chen] Each time we are creating
this alternative to the reality,
which is an Israeli and Palestinian communicating,
taking an action together, it's a revolution.
Not less than that.
My name is Erez from Tel Aviv. I was born into a very right
wing family that believes the Arabs want to drive us into
the sea. That they don't really want peace,
including the Palestinians, who only understand brute force.
I served as an officer, in the rank of captain in the IDF.
I come from a family most of it's members are prisoners,
there are martyrs,
I was 17 years old when I first participated in the uprising.
I was prisoned as a 17 year old, I spent 4 years.
When it's the time of the army enlisting
I enlisted in the special forces.
And I was proud.
[Avner] One of the most significant things in Combatants for Peace
is that we exemplify our possibility to change.
And as long as we understand and respect what we were before,
we can walk together that path towards a better future.
[chattering]
To there, next.
Now the oppressed will give a chance,
others a chance to express their opinions in change.
So you can join us in the way we're gonna change the reality.
The purpose of the theater is not to entertain them.
[Chen] We use theater in order to rehearse
the transformation of the reality.
The reality wants to separate us apart,
and to keep the hostility and the hatred
and the approach that each side is the victim
and the other side is the perpetrator.
We shouldn't come with preconceived ideas.
As Israelis and Palestinians we are in equal positions.
I hope that we'll be stronger than the complex reality
in which we are living, especially we Palestinians.
And let go of the victim thing...
With all respect to the fence and the settlements.
There is no respect for the fence.
[laughing]
There's something very important:
In every village entrance in the Palestinian authority
the occupation put warnings
for the Israelis, like we are killers.
We should do something about it at least modify them
to not warn them from us, because we are... like them.
The main question, in my opinion, we should ask
how to form an efficient strategy for a non-violent
end to the occupation?
[fireworks pop]
[reporter] Thanks to intensive shuttle diplomacy,
Middle East peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians
are restarting after a three-year stalemate.
Palestinians have suffered enough.
And no one benefits more
from the success of this endeavor more than Palestinians.
In these negotiations,
it's not our intention to argue about the past,
but to create solutions and make decisions for the future.
[Avner] Our plan is a nonviolent demonstration.
We don't know, of course, what the army is going to do.
[man] I don't want to give the army time to prepare itself.
If the soldiers stop us, we stop.
-We don't confront them. -[man] Yeah.
And if there's a really serious problem,
you leave the puppets and you go somewhere safe.
The meaning is, I am walking for my freedom, until I get to the Wall.
From here, it's begin my un-freedom, not my freedom.
[Chen] What is unique in nonviolence
is that the way is as important as the goal.
-If we both want to reach a solution. -Yes.
Then we all need to compromise, correct?
-Compromise about what? -That if we are to abandon
Judea and Samaria, then the Palestinian mainstream needs
to realize that if they are ever going to achieve statehood
they'll need to renounce their dream to return to Jaffa
and Acre. Three million Palestinians will not return.
Who am I to choose who leaves who returns?
Jewish residents of Acre will have to vacate their homes?
We can state that no one will forced out of his home.
What is your ideal situation?
Whoever wishes to be in Palestine shall be allowed to.
Whoever chooses not to come, I will not compel all the
refugees to return.
They will, however, have the choice.
[chattering]
Coming, Jamil?
I'm coming.
What?
You want to come with me to the demonstration on Friday?
Want to go?
Want to go to the demonstration?
Not by myself.
Where is the demonstration?
In Beit jaffa.
What is it about? only flags and like that?
Handala pictures and miniature of the Wall.
An there are birds also,
And peace.
[laughing]
And peace.
-Hurrah! -Hurrah!
You know my opinion,
I don't want them to participate in these activities.
OK, and I want to participate in these activities.
Yes, but they are children, we shouldn't...
It's like we are directing them.
You direct them in the way you see suitable.
I can influence them but I don't want to.
I don't influence them
I'm showing them the two ways. here and there.
When I took them to the Nakba demonstration...
They saw the gas and the soldiers and the shots...
From the other hand, I show them the other way.
There are peaceful demonstration.
What you showed them in the Day of Nakba
-is the reality! Honestly. -OK.
Right? that is our reality, The shots and all that...
Those people, who are coming, the few people...
-How many of them? -They are not few.
Whatever, they come and say we want the peace,
we are good people, and we are demonstrating with you...
But he stays in my land.
It's like they invade our house
and took it from us, and gave us the bathroom to live in,
under their conditions,
and then they say to us, "Come we want peace"!
That's not right.
Those guys refused to serve in the Israeli army.
All their activities in West Bank against settlements
and the wall, all the things they are doing...
Good, how many settlement they prevented?
Look, they did not prevent any settlement, Mahmoud Abbas...
himself couldn't prevent any settlement. But at least tried.
They have a great power,
and a few "Combatants for peace" who refused to serve
-are gonna change that? -Yes.
You read about Nelson Mandela, one person changed a state.
And changed the whole world, and you know.
that he is only one, how could one person do that?
How could he? and Gandhi also.
What did all these people do?
It's a waste of time.
In order to improve our life, and my children's...
and grand children's life, things must go that way.
We tried two uprisings, the first and the second
and all the achievements of the Palestinian people decrease.
In the end they want to make two states,
Israeli state on the Palestinian land.
-And? -And what is our share?
-22%. -From the Palestinian land?
22%, the answer is clear.
Yes.
How you converted...
from a young man spent his life in the prisons,
and you fight against the occupation and all that,
and your brother is martyr, and your mother (RIP) was...
known as freedom fighter,
to the opposite completely.
That is what provokes me.
I participated in the first uprising,
-there are people who did. -I did everything.
-More than you and still are. -They did not despair but...
And they did not cooperate with Israelis.
But they did not make any changes.
But if the resistance was really peaceful...
My aunt kept telling you...
"No right is lost as long as someone strives to claim it."
That's right. And who told you that I waived my rights.
If I shut up and didn't do a thing then I waived my rights.
Those people who say, "normalization"...
who don't fight at the settlement
or on the land that was seized by Jews...
or at the Wall, those who gave up their rights,
the ones who keep silent.
No, they preserve their dignities.
No, they are not.
Sitting home silent is not preserving dignity.
That's all.
-And you? -What?
What do you think? you want to go with your father?
If Dana goes I go.
[praying in Arabic]
[chattering]
Where to go?
OK, no problem.
They informed now that there is army in the area,
and that is disrupting all we are preparing.
We are working on the element of surprise
for whoever exit in the area.
Two, Peter's wife. So, I say, we have assembled today,
the United Nations, to discuss tabled proposal, to recognize
the State of Palestine,
or to reject it.
26 years ago, the late president Yasser Arafat went
to the UN to ask them to vote for the Palestinian state.
Unfortunately, the voting did not pass
Today we're gonna meet next to the Wall
to make the voting again.
[Avner] I look at these walls and I'm thinking,
these walls perpetuate the fears that generated them to begin with.
[Chen] The thing that separates us is a metaphor as well.
It's a symbol of our will to be together.
And we are going to use it.
Israelis arrive at the fence from the west.
The Palestinians come from the east.
We simply go forward and meet up together at the fence.
[whistling]
[whistling continues]
We have assembled here today, the United Nations.
to discuss the proposal to either accept or reject the
proposed Palestinian State.
-Russia? -Yes
[cheering]
-Sweden? -Yes!
[cheering]
-Holland? -Yes!
We need yes to ourselves as well, since the burden of the
military government is ours, not just the world's.
[woman] Israel.
[woman] Israel?
[woman] Israel.
[cheering]
[blows whistle]
[cheering]
No!
[explosion]
Why have you started the violence? Why?
Move away from the fence.
We're away from the fence.
No to violent extremism.
[chanting continues]
Take note of the source of the violence.
Two non-violent sides, Israelis and Palestinians, who wish
to be together. And see who are trapped between the fences.
[Chen] All of a sudden they seem to me like prisoners.
That they are trapped in this space,
forced to play their role, and imprisoned in violence and hatred.
We invite the security forces to remove their uniforms
and to join us.
[cheering]
[whistling]
[Chen] We always keep a door open to--
that there is an alternative to what you are doing now.
We believe in transformation.
And we believe that transformation can occur,
even in these radical or extreme situations of violence.
Because it happened to us.
Do you remember the day they arrested me?
When I went to prison?
Of course.
You and me were here, in the kitchen. right?
You were 6 years old, and I told you,
"Today I am going to do a suicide attack."
I can't understand how you got the nerve to tell me.
Because you are my friend.
I know that,
I don't know how I let you.
You were a child, you didn't realize.
If you came today to tell that though you're not gonna do it,
I'll shoot you.
[chattering]
OK, check the height.
-Is this right height? -Yes.
We'll need four-five signs to show the places are saved.
[chattering]
[coughs]
Okay.
There are so many people.
It's the hardest day for the Israeli people
And in this day we decided...
As combatants for peace from the Palestinians side
and the Israeli side to Commemorate the memorial
of the dead on both sides.
Peace upon you.
My name is Jami Kasos, from the Dehaysha refugee camp.
Welcome, Jamil.
I am Meital Lokov from Jerusalem.
We have gathered here together, Israelis and Palestinians, this evening
to remember that we're all the victims of the dispute and also its perpetrators.
This year we paid a heavy price.
More Palestinians and Israelis
joined the groups of bereavement and loss.
And we talk about the next war
as if it's inevitable.
Hence we are the ones have to break the circle of violence.
We were moved to received a message of peace and hope
from Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Dear friends, Palestinian and Israeli,
if change seems impossible,
consider our experience in South Africa.
Our peaceful transformation did not fall out of the sky.
Our peace was the choice of so called ordinary people.
People just like you and me.
You and you and you and me.
Do remember,
we are members of one family.
The human family. God's family.
All of us.
[applause]
There are limits to the amount of time and effort
that the United States can spend,
if the parties themselves are unwilling to take constructive steps
in order to be able to move forward.
The choice is up to Mr. Netanyahu.
Either he makes an agreement with his coalition, settlers, or with us.
Abbas has to decide whether he wants a pact with Hamas,
or peace with Israel.
He can't have both. He cannot continue
with this behavior of settlement activities and then speak about peace.
He cannot speak out of both sides of his mouth.
He cannot embrace Hamas
and say that he wants peace with Israel.
[Chen] It's like a script.
You see the declarations on both sides,
you know what is going to happen next...
And it's heartbreaking.
Here's your ball, Maya.
[man on tv] Messi today is showing...
[switches channel]
Five years after "Cast Lead" and barely two years since
"Pillar of Cloud" Israel again begins an operation in Gaza
"Operation Protective Edge" is its name. For the first time
Tel Aviv is in the range of missiles fire.
And here are the rest of the headlines.
Here we go again.
Another round...
And a whole new reservoir of people
whose lives are going to be ruined,
and many of them are gonna participate
in the next rounds of violence.
[distant explosion]
[screams]
[siren blares]
[explosions on TV]
The result of this continuous bombing from the air
was 6 killed and 15 other wounded.
More than 20 casualty recently...
At least nine terrorists have infiltrated into Israel
through the tunnel. They were carrying zip ties and sedatives
and they were planning to kidnap civilians back to Gaza.
Look...
Alshujayia massacre, news about more than 60 martyr till now
What you can tell the people?
The Jewish and the Palestinian,
where they can make together peace,
or they can sit or they can talk.
With nonviolence we can resist.
Who can believe you?
And what will happen, Israel will say, "I win,"
and Hamas will say, "I win,"
but 1,000 people have been killed
and 10,000 people are in hospitals.
And I am sure that it will not stop here.
[Avner] All that we have done is drown by a wave
that is a thousand times bigger than us.
Soon, it's gonna be a challenge just to keep standing
with every single person around us advising us not to talk.
Not when people are getting killed.
Expect only the war and destruction and the dead
and the circle of the violence start all over again...
Even the people who believed in the idea of the peace
they started to doubt it.
[Chen] The first tendency is to quit,
to put a blanket on my head
and to wait that it will be over.
And then something happens and I get a phone call from a Palestinian friend
and only from that I get the energy.
Any one wants to speak? Go ahead.
First of all, Good evening to everyone,
With the last war, it became very difficult
especially on the Palestinian side,
All the factions in the same position
and there was no deference in such matters.
They consider even the dealing with the Israelis is...
not Normalization, we reached a new phase which is...
Treason.
The major opinion in Israel is that the Hamas is to blame.
What bothers me the most is how to explain to both the Israelis
and the Palestinians that there are people on the other side.
It's hard to talk about two sides as being symmetric
since it's easy for them to look upon Gaza
we do not see another version.
We must see another story.
We see the horrible fear in the people of Tel Aviv
during the sirens.
Even when there is suffering on any level
it needs to be addressed.
People can get frustrated, and that is understood,
But in times of crises
we should raise our voices,
Our role is to get out and make a deferent impression
through refusing the violence and the war...
and by sticking to our beliefs
the nonviolent beliefs proudly...
-Friends, this coming Saturday, -Yes.
There will be a demonstration. We plan to bring to
the demonstration tens of participants...
-You got a small head. -Only on the outside.
What's inside won't come out. [laughing]
[chattering]
You are terrorists!
Terrorists!
It is not easy to be considered traitor in the eyes
of people who are important to you, like family and friends.
You are terrorists!
They are haters of Israel and should be put in jail.
We need to kick them out of the State of Israel.
They are causing damage to the State of Israel,
soldiers are being killed and these shits are demonstrating
against Israel, my country.
[Avner] We are patriots,
but patriotism does not mean
that we stand for everything our government does.
On the contrary, I'm critical
because I want to stay here in Israel and raise my children here.
[chanting]
JEWS AND ARABS REFUSE TO BE ENEMIES
My name is Sulamain Katib.
I have come from Ramallah, and I...
We, Palestinians and Israelis, all together for both sides,
to act bravely and wisely to stop the fighting Gaza,
and to immediately begin a serious dialog.
There is no military solution
for the conflict .
As participants in Combatants for Peace are aware that the
twelve million people living between the river and the sea
share a common destiny.
And that war is not part of this destiny.
No rockets from Gaza, F-16's, or iron domes will bring peace.
PEACE DEMONSTRATION
Peace must be based on the
security and independence...
STOP THE WAR PEACE AND SECURITY NOT BY BLOODSHED
...of two states. Let us live in peace and tranquility.
We shall not drive you away and neither shall you succeed.
We both need to get along together in this land and to
get live together in peace and in dignity for all.
Thank you very much.
[cheering]
[whistles blowing]
[chanting]
[Avner] We see it as a long-distance run,
and we will continue to go on with it.
God doesn't change people until they change themselves.
Change starts from within oneself.
Then this positive energy effects others.
We succeed together
in turning a personal transformation
into a transformation of a large community.
[Chen] I think that we are an example of how these two people
can live together and create together and can disagree together.
We are proof that it's doable.
Don't follow your leaders.
Challenge them and create your own peace.
Israeli or Palestinian.
Create the peace against their will.
I will never lose hope that the peace...
Peace is the only answer. There is no other way.
[Avner] Because it is people who make wars,
it is people who can stop wars from happening.
It's not the weather. We make it happen.
And it is us that can put an end to it.
The narrative begins with the man and his wife.
To his family, to the large family.
To his village, to his city.
To his state, to his religion.
To his continent, to the whole world.
Until you reach humanity.
And when we reach humanity,
believe me, our problem will be solved faster than we think.
