Precise Technical Solutions to make israelis, palestinians and the region safer and much more prosperous. This deal is not a deal for b or base plan, it is a war plan, because this legalized the occupation, this plan legalized the settlements, this plan legalized the annexation of jerusalem, this plan says no return for the palestinian refugees, we are the oppressed and they are the oppressed and the they want the oppress to give more to the oppressor, they want to oppressed to be oppressed more, what would you do, you will just leave your houses for money, leave your land, بتوقع من الشعب الفلسطيني راح يخلق نموذج جديد من المقاومه مش راح. للقيادات الوطنيه زي دائما راح يطالب مش بس 67 من ارضه رح يطالب the deal of the century the trump socalled peace plan which the israelis and the United States of america claim will bring peace to the middle east, but the palestinians outright reject and say is attack on their national identity. As well as their land. Im robert in lakesh and ive come here to occupied palestine to investigate what the socalled deal of the century means for the Palestinian People and the future of palestine. Following the official release of the. Controversial plan proposed to end the palestine israel conflict, escalation of violence ensued and occupied palestine, as Israeli Occupation forces brutally attacked palestinian demonstrators, only to strengthen the resolve of the Palestinian National resistance. Being on the ground in palestine, i lived through this round of violence, witnessing vivid scenes of brutality, racist hate crimes and the murder of palestinians. But before we investigate this further, we have to first look at the past to understand how things got to where they are today. The of Peace Process between palestinians and israelis, as it is often referred to, was officially initiated with the signing of the oslo accords in 1993. When plo leader yasa arafat signed the agreement with the israelis, it was supposed supposed to lead to the establishment of a palestinian state and the ending of hostilities between palestinians and israelis. However, a palestinian state, as well as peace in the middle east, never came. Instead, the oslo accords had meant for the newly established palestinian authority, that they had accepted an exclusively jewish ethno state on 78 of their historic homeland and received nothing in return. Five years after the signing of the oslo accords, the occupation of the west bank in gaza was even more deeply entrenched as israeli settlements expanded. On Palestinian Land. The only difference on the ground, as peace talks had been ongoing, was that there had been further feft of Palestinian West Bank resources, the besiegment of gaza, and the bombardment of the gaza strip. All of this was the palestinian authority, based in ramala had acted to protect Israeli Security interests. Then, following the second Palestinian Uprising in to. The illegal separation wall was later built in 2002 in the west bank, usurping approximately 10 of the territory, also collectively punishing 150 palestinian communities who were disconnected from their lands, according to the Human Rights Group betselem. Settlements continued expanding in the further confiscation of land and resources from palestinians ensued, with illegal, religious extremist is. Israeli settlers seasing palestinian homes in East Jerusalem as well as in the west bank. All of this being justified by the israeli claim the palestinian terrorists had to be subdued and israels security had to be protected. Now, Donald Trumps selfproclaimed road map to peace would essentially allow for israel to take half of the west bank, annexing the most fertile Agricultural Lands, aquafers and prohibiting. Palestinians from having an army or any real autonomy. It would also connect palestinian bantustance together via underground tunnels. Upon arriving in occupied palestine, i had traveled to the village of cafin near tulkaram, where an unarmed 19yearold boy named buther was shot in the neck and killed by Israeli Occupation forces for protesting against the deal of the century. Unfortunately this was not the last funeral that i attended of young people and children who had been murdered in the west bank. However, they all resembled each other roughly, Palestinian Family members grieving, the look of disbelief a broken mothers face, and the cries from the village for a day where the martur them of their brother or sister, will enable a free jerusalem all goods, a belief that gives meaning to the life. Of those murdered. Alkuds is at the heart of every palestinian. It is holy to both muslim and christian palestinians who are currently unable to visit if they live in the west bank, gaza strip or palestinian diaspora. The International Consensus for solution to the israelpalestine conflict states the East Jerusalem is to be the capital of the future palestinian state. This, however, is not what is being allocated to the palestinians under the trump netanyahu vision. Instead, they are confining the capital of the Palestinian People to outside the separation walls of jerusalems. Im standing here in abudis, the proposed capital for the Palestinian People. And of course abudis here is suburb just outside of mainland, jerusalems, and what we see here in abudis is the apartide system. In the west bank its most clearest. We see over here behind us palestinian villages, jerusalemites separated from their brethren and their lands on the other side of the wall over here, people who have been separated so that they cannot see their family members, that they cannot come and farm their lands and of course separated by this wall. If this was to be accepted as the capital of palestine, that would mean not only would it be this little slither of land, which would not include the. City of jerusalem alquds, but it means that it will be a symbol of the oppression of the Palestinian People, and for them to live like this, seeing every single day, what could have been, and jerusalems with masjid alaqsa and the dome of the rocks in the bathground, is other pain and struggle. The separation of jerusalemite muslims and christians from jerusalems is rarely ever shown on mainstream western television, and so before you. Travel to the west bank, one would imagine that the situation is completely different from the reality faced here. What my cameraman and i witnessed on the palestinian side of israels wall was the humiliation of palestinians a daily basis and a space allocated for capital which would hardly drive tourism to a country with its depressing scenery bringing with it a feeling of Walking Around an open air prison. Even on the other side of the wall, palestinian homes are constantly being demolished and stolen by Israeli Settlers, as donald trump in boldens their actions with the decree that israels und divided capital is to be jerusalems. The justification given by israel for such disturbing realities imposed on the ground is that what has been imposed is for israels security, but even if that was the truth behind the occupation and violations of International Law, this excuse was not accepted internationally by the court of Public Opinion when it came to apartide south african whites. So why is it reasonable coming . From israeli jews, i ask. But the issue of division isnt the only problem facing the palestinians. There is also the problem of where the two divided peoples would live if remaining segregated and where any viable borders could possibly exist between palestinians and the israelis. The issues of borders is of course made tough due to the israeli illegal racial colonies or settlements as theyre referred to. Something that you cannot escape when you come here to the west bank is seeing and witnessing how deeply entrenched the settlements are into the Palestinian Land here. Currently, over 750,00 illegal Israeli Settlers live on stolen Palestinian Land, equating to a land grab of 40 of the west bank. Due to seizure of land. Palestinians currently live in 165 disconnected islands. Surrounded by checkpoints, military outposts, closed military zones and settlements. What is perhaps more disturbing, however, is the fact that one of the chief architects of what is supposed to be a peace deal, Jared Kushner has direct ties to the funding of an illegal settlement named baitil with almost 100,000 us dollars that we know about. Kushner is also an open supporter of a understanding that under trumps socalled peace plan, settlements will remain in place, i traveled to occupied al khalil, or hebron, as its called to, to meet with local human rights activist, isa amro, to learn more about what the situation would remain as in the heart of the illegal settler conflict zone. Trump plan is to make this permanent. Trump plan is about. You now legitimizing the settlements and legitimizing this appartite and segregation and separation and keep me without any basic human rights, hes telling us not to film, but he is here, we are allowed to film, hes illegal, because they dont want us to film their weakness and their truth, they dont want us to expose that israel is apartide state, israel is not a democracy and israel is not the state of law, its the state of settlers, soldiers and its the state. Its not your home, this is my country, its not your country, okay, that is the truth here, yes, this is kinder garden, an outpost, and the israeli army close the shops, this used to be the gold market, yeah, now its the rubbish here, they broke into the. Shops, they stall it and they could buy the rooftops you know to make it uh comfortable fors a will fair life for the settlers on the expense of our basic here so the street is closed, all the shops are closed by military orders and marked as closed shops, look its marked sealed wilded as closed shop, it was closed first 1994 after that and what justification do they get, why do they say they have to be closed, do they give you a justification for closing . Always, always, the false justification is security, the main reason for it, its about confiscation and to have the arab free zone here, closing the city center, its the hub the city, you know, its the heart of the city, they closed it and they control it and they they drive here, we are not allow to drive, we are not allowed to drive in our own streets, our shops are closed, our houses became empty, they change the names of the streets from palestinian arabic am to israeleli hebrew names, the road signs are only in english and hebrew, israel. Flags here, they are taking our identity as balastin identity, and this system right here with the shops closed and everything happening under trumps plan, this would remain closed, it will remain closed, they didnt touch it, they did not talk about it, the main entrance to the family its closed, the main road is closed and are using the fields to reach the house here and the families is separated and isolated alone and the army is cubing the roof, they have a military post on the roof, the family is not allowed to go to the roof and they are locked inside the house and from time come to the roof, throw stones, throw rocks, throw rubbish to the family without any help, not only that, martian ambulance is not allowed to reach. Here without a special special coordination, so you skip all the emergency cases, so you you are not only sieged by the army and the soldiers, you are sieged from any kind of basic human rights. We continued to film until we reached a military outpost where we were at first instructed at gun point to go back because palestinians could not walk on the jewish only street there, so we filmed secretly, as i asked the soldier present why aisa and. My cameraman hamd were not able to walk on the road, the settlement, but okay, so if it belongs only to jews, then is this not racism . This is illegal settlements under International Law, they they take this, why not one person, one vote, why not equal rights, because this here is like. South africa, if you went to apartide south africa, you would see the same thing, and so this is racism, and racism doesnt change depending up home where you go because of security situation, its racism, thats it. Im still what youre saying, but yesterday, day before they were trying to stab people in the stab, but you shoot and you arrest children, it doesnt matter, but does that justify hurting them, killing them, i dont occupying them, nobody here. The soldier i just engaged with, refused to speak to me until i told him i was not a palestinian, but many other soldiers had even more negative attitude towards us, making it clear that palestinians or any friends of palestinians were not welcome. After witnessing the situation in alkhalil. I then traveled to ramala in order to take part in protests, rejecting the deal of the century. At this protest youre seeing alone, tens of protesters were shot and many others gassed, causing them to collapse and convulse. We have attack here a member of the press, clearly marked as press is of course violation of International Law, firing tear gas everywhere, he passed out unconscious, this man is marked to suppress and of course is not protesting, hes here to. Document purely and he was targeted by the israeli. After the demonstration, we found out following visit to the ramala hospital. The four young boys were shot with internationally banned bullets, three were hit in the legs and one in the head. The protests i witnessed, however, were just the tip of the iceberg. Other demonstrations were much more violent and led to the deaths of several young palestinians. To find out more, about why Palestinian People broke out into mass protest against the deal of the century, i met with the world renowned journalist jannah jihad and palestinian icon ahid timimi, both locals to the village of nabi saleh, so since the announcement of the first asking janna what she had witnessed since the announcement of the trump plan, as you said are getting kill, people are getting arrested, um, im facing checkpoints on my way to school every day. Say um like for example yesterday i was just going to my school and then there was this checkpoint you know the checkpoints here in the west banks in the west bank or not checkpoints theyre just gate on the street they usually close it block the street and then they go they dont check the car they just block it so like had to take another way that takes me about triple of the time to get to my school i was late to my school even today we were stuck for 2 hours on the checkpoint um every day since the deal of the century had been declared, um, you know, people, there are a lot of clashes, people are getting killed, people are getting injured, and its very sad that we um, are paying the price of something that we didnt cause. What we heard from donald trump was that when this deal was initially announced that there would be some sort of peace that would come out of this, and that uh. The palestinians would receive a great amount of money. I believe that legalizing whats illegal is not peace, legalizing occupation, legalizing settlements, um, its not what we call peace, and i dont care about money, i just want my land, i want to stay in my house, i want to go to the sea that ive never been to, which is only 30 minutes far from my house that i can literally see every single morning from the roof of my house that ive never been to, thats what. I call peace, but thats not peace and i dont care about money. What if i came and told you i want half of america, id, i pay you, but i just want half of america, like what would you do, you will just. كمان الناس بطلت عارفه ايش بدها تسوي في حياتها يعني اللي صار بده يعني بده يعمل مشروع بده يستنى بده يشوف هو وبده بده مثلا ينضم لاسرائيل ولا بده يضل تابع للسلطه الفلسطينيه ولا الناس بدها بدها تعرف مثلا القريه مثلا صالح بده يعني نحن مش عارفين نحن وين بدنا نروح او مثلا احتمال كبير مثلا يجوا يحكوا لنا اطلعوا من بيوتكم او يستولوا على القريه عشان كل حواليها مستوطنات ف يعني الواحد مش عارف ايش بده يعمل مش عارف زي حياه الناس توقفت او صار في عطل بحياه الناس انه صار صارت صفقه القرن تاثر. In ramala, i witnessed the largest demonstration the city had seen since the time of the second intifada, or uprising, as it is known in english. What was clear to me in the west bank was that there was a growing sense of desperation and also unity from the Palestinian People that could be Felt Building day by day. The desperation for action coming from the freat immediately posed to annex areas such as is the Jordan Valley, which is where i began to travel to next, so weve just entered the Jordan Valley here, and uh, what we witnessed just as we were entering was the closed military zones here, and the soldiers in the fields actually aiming uh just above children and telling them to duck, using them sort of as firing practice, and then what we also discovered as we were driving along is that two betoin children uh, Young Children who were riding on donkeys were also arrested by the army, the Jordan Valley is home to 70,00 palestinians, yet is 85 inaccessible to its people as israel has turned the land into a military Training Ground
