Israeli soldiers describe witnessing mass casualties and horrific scenes as they walk through houses and communities in Gaza. Babies with their heads cut off, families gunned down in their beds, and destroyed homes with grenades and booby traps pose dangers to the soldiers. The soldiers, many of them reserves, left their own families behind to face this unimaginable horror. The area is also littered with the bodies of terrorists who committed violent acts against innocent civilians. Despite the difficult and dangerous situation, the soldiers remain determined to eliminate every terrorist in the area. The soldiers want to show the press and the world the reality of what is happening on the ground.

Speaker 1 reflects on the haunting aspects of their time as a soldier, specifically the routine control exerted over Palestinians. They describe how Palestinians live in constant uncertainty, not knowing if soldiers will invade their homes or if they can go about their daily lives. The goal is to break down the Palestinian population, asserting dominance and humiliation. The speaker mentions segregated roads, settlements, military activity, home invasions, patrols, and digital surveillance as means of control. They emphasize that Hebron showcases all these elements in a short walk. Speaker 0 acknowledges witnessing all of it.

Jewish settlers in Kavon enjoy the same rights as those in Jerusalem, while Palestinians live under Israeli military rule. The speaker acknowledges the power imbalance, describing how they can take over Palestinian homes, arrest residents, and restrict their movement. Realizing the injustice early on, the speaker no longer felt like they were protecting or helping anyone. Instead, they felt like a terrorist, tasked with instilling fear in the hearts of Palestinians. This was their mission, and they carried it out in Chavon.

Jewish settlers in Kavon enjoy the same rights as those in Jerusalem, while Palestinians live under Israeli military rule. The speaker acknowledges the power imbalance, describing how they can take over Palestinian homes, arrest residents, and restrict their movement. This realization shattered their belief in being on the "good" side, as they felt like they were terrorizing people. They began to question the narrative they had been taught and saw themselves as the ones instilling fear.

Living in Jerusalem, I realized that Palestinians living next to me were under my military rule. I had the power to do whatever I wanted with them, like using their homes as temporary bases or arresting them to demolish their homes. They were restricted from walking on certain streets, forcing them to find alternative routes. This made me question the lies I had been told. Instead of feeling like I was protecting or helping anyone, I felt like a terrorist, terrorizing people to prevent them from opposing Israeli settlers or the military. Our mission was to instill fear in the hearts of Palestinians in Hebron, and we succeeded.

Soldiers are trained by conducting mock arrest operations in peaceful Palestinian villages. This is done to ensure that their first real arrest goes smoothly. The chosen house and resident are innocent, and the Secret Service confirms that the operation won't interfere with their intelligence gathering. The soldiers surround the house at night, blindfold and cuff the resident, and put them in a jeep. After a few minutes, the exercise is called off, and the resident is released. The purpose of these mock arrests is twofold: to provide realistic training and to make the soldiers' presence known. The villagers become curious and scared, as they witness the arrest and subsequent release of an innocent person. This constant intimidation creates a sense of fear and uncertainty among Palestinians.

In the West Bank, every house has a number. We would choose a house based on its location and features, making sure the occupants were innocent. However, it was the intense gaze of young Palestinians that made me question my actions. One particular incident that stayed with me was entering the home of a physician in the middle of the night, restricting their movements and privileges. This encounter led the physician to explain the Palestinian experience to me. I realized that despite thinking I was doing the right thing, I was actually contributing to the occupation.

Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza live under military occupation, facing daily invasions, abductions, beatings, and restricted movement by Israeli soldiers. Israeli forces frequently demolish homes, destroy crops, confiscate land, shell Gaza, and kill Palestinians. US media often overlooks these Palestinian deaths, while emphasizing rocket attacks from Gaza without mentioning the context of Israeli violence. The history of the conflict and the influence of the Israel lobby, which receives over $10 million per day of American tax money, are also not reported. Palestinians endure the loss of their homes, farms, and livelihoods, with thousands of olive trees destroyed and almost 50,000 homes demolished since 1967. Gaza, blockaded by Israel and Egypt, is described as the world's largest open-air prison, with its 2 million inhabitants facing constant violence.

In Hebron, there is a gate that locks around 40 Palestinian families inside at certain times. Palestinians are not allowed to walk on the road or use the bus stop, while others can. The speaker questions who is being protected and expresses disgust at the racism. When asked about the Palestinians' situation, the other person shows indifference. The speaker criticizes the arrogance and occupation of someone else's land. They mention that the land belongs to everyone and ask why Palestinians are not allowed to walk there. The conversation becomes heated, with mention of Palestinians being shot and the speaker expressing frustration towards the world.

Settlers are receiving military training to terrorize Palestinians in the surrounding area. Filmmakers were restricted from filming a structure being built down the hill by the settlers, but they filmed it from a distance. The structure is reportedly "for security and for the attack" on the Palestinian village of Sarif. Israeli settlers allegedly go to the village at night to insult and harass Palestinians to make sure they leave their land.

This video highlights the stark contrast between the freedom of movement for Jewish settlers and the restrictions faced by Palestinians. Israeli soldiers weld shut the front doors of Palestinian families, while everyone else, except Palestinians, can freely walk around. To leave her home, a Palestinian woman has to climb onto her roof and descend through a back street. In contrast, Jewish settlers can simply walk out of their front doors. This unequal treatment applies to all non-Palestinians, not just Jewish people.

In Hebron, there is a unique situation where 850 Israeli settlers live among 180,000 Palestinians. To maintain control, 650 combat soldiers patrol the city. Their goal is to make their presence felt by conducting nightly raids on Palestinian homes, waking families up and searching their houses. This routine is repeated throughout the night, with the soldiers constantly moving from one house to another. This has been happening since the start of the Second Intifada in September 2000, creating a constant feeling of being chased for the Palestinians.

Israeli settlers are now given more power in the West Bank as the military hands over control to a right-wing settler leader. This leader, Bezelos Smotrich, aims to annex the West Bank and remove Palestinians. Palestinians face difficulties in obtaining building permits and are harassed by settlers who steal their land. This decision could worsen the situation for Palestinians, as settlers gain more control over occupied territories. Smotrich's actions mark a significant change in the occupation's dynamics.

Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza live under military occupation, facing daily invasions, abductions, beatings, and restricted movement by Israeli soldiers. Israeli forces frequently demolish homes, destroy crops, confiscate land, shell Gaza, and kill Palestinians. US media often overlooks these Palestinian deaths, while emphasizing rocket attacks from Gaza without mentioning their response to Israeli violence. Over 4,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air strikes, compared to about 30 Israelis. The power of the Israel lobby, which secures over $10 million per day of American tax money, is also not reported. Palestinians endure the loss of their homes, farms, and livelihoods, with thousands of olive trees and almost 50,000 homes demolished since 1967. Gaza, blockaded by Israel and Egypt, is described as the world's largest open-air prison.

Jewish settlers in Jerusalem live with the same rights as the speaker, while Palestinians live under the speaker's military rule. The speaker has the power to take over Palestinian homes temporarily, arrest the residents, and restrict their movement. Realizing this early on made the speaker question the lies they were told. They didn't feel like they were protecting or helping anyone, but rather terrorizing people. The speaker's perception of good and bad was shattered, feeling like a terrorist whose job was to intimidate people into not opposing Israeli settlers or the military.

Jewish settlers in Kavon enjoy the same rights as those in Jerusalem, while Palestinians live under Israeli military rule. The speaker reflects on their realization that they were part of a system that oppressed Palestinians. They describe how they could take over Palestinian homes, arrest residents, and restrict their movement, creating a sense of terror. This experience shattered their childhood belief in being on the "good" side, as they now saw themselves as the ones instilling fear in Palestinians.

Commanders had soldiers throw flashbang grenades to assert dominance over Palestinians. The soldier questioned the morality of their actions, realizing the occupation must end. They believe oppressive regimes like this will ultimately fail, emphasizing the need for security for both Israelis and Palestinians.

In this video, a Palestinian American journalist returns to Hebron, her family's hometown in the occupied West Bank, to witness the impact of Israel's occupation and settlers on the city. She explores the heavily militarized and segregated streets, where Palestinians face daily harassment and restrictions. The journalist meets former Israeli soldiers who now give tours to expose the reality of the occupation. They visit Shuhada Street, once a vibrant marketplace, now deserted and closed off to Palestinians. The journalist's emotional conversation with her father, who grew up in Hebron, highlights the devastation and loss experienced by the Palestinian people. The video sheds light on the ongoing struggle and humiliation faced by Palestinians living under Israeli occupation.

The Palestinians live under Israeli government control, which many consider oppressive. Israel and America need to change their approach. Palestinians have been deprived of their land for over 70 years, leading to deep frustration. They face apartheid, lack basic necessities, and endure civil rights violations. This is not a secret; it's visible if you look for it.

Every house in the West Bank has a number, and soldiers would use maps to locate specific houses. After verifying the house had the best parameters and geographical area, they ensured the people in the house were innocent before entering a Palestinian home in the middle of the night. The piercing eyes of young Palestinians motivated the speaker to break his silence. He recalls entering a physician's house in Nablus in the middle of the night, confining him, his wife, and his daughter to a room, requiring them to ask permission to use the bathroom, kitchen, or phone. The physician explained to him what it means to be a Palestinian. The speaker thought he was a good moral soldier helping entrench the occupation.

The Israeli military doesn't have a clear number of casualties, but soldiers describe seeing babies with their heads cut off and families gunned down in their beds. Fighting recently ended in the community, and some Israeli bodies remain. Troops are going house to house, encountering grenades and booby traps. The area is littered with bodies of terrorists; a lead commander estimates 70 armed terrorists came from the Gaza border. They used guns, grenades, and knives, targeting civilians in their homes. Soldiers are committed to killing every terrorist in the area. Artillery fire is constant due to the proximity to the Gaza Strip. Soldiers want the press to witness the situation on the ground.

Soldier 1 admits that controlling Palestinians is routine and involves invading their homes, controlling their daily lives, and humiliating them. The presence of military activity, home invasions, patrols, and digital surveillance is widespread in the West Bank, particularly in Hebron. The United Nations reports that between 2008 and 2020, 5,590 Palestinians were killed compared to 251 Israelis. However, a member of the European Parliament claims that the numbers are much higher, stating that over 150,000 Palestinian civilians, including 33,000 children, have been killed or injured in Gaza and the West Bank since 2008.

The United States has warned Israel about extremist settlers and condemned violence against innocent residents in the occupied territory. The conflict in the West Bank revolves around land ownership, with Palestinian villages alongside illegal Israeli settlements. The settlers pose a greater threat, protected by the army. Palestinian villagers live in fear of being targeted by settlers. Despite threats, some residents refuse to leave their homes. The settlers engage in intimidation tactics, such as cutting electricity and blocking access to villages. In one village, Zenuta, residents are forced to leave and relocate to an area with no proper housing. Palestinians face difficulties obtaining permission to build permanent structures due to Israeli authorities. The Israeli settler authority holds power over Palestinian lives, denying them basic rights.

The principal of a girls' secondary school in the West Bank expresses concern that her students are not learning as much as others due to harassment and intimidation by Israeli settlers and the army. Settler attacks have become more frequent and violent, with four Palestinians killed this year. Palestinians accuse the Israeli army of protecting the settlers, but the army denies these allegations. The students face harassment and are often late for school, affecting their health and causing them to miss exams. Settlers also target Palestinian motorists, creating fear and psychological damage. With more settlements being built, the number of attacks against Palestinians is expected to increase.

In 1948, my grandmother was expelled from her village in Jerusalem to a refugee camp due to Israel's actions. Palestinians face barriers like the apartheid wall and military checkpoints, leading to restricted movement and constant surveillance. The Haida refugee camp is heavily monitored, with frequent violent raids and tear gas attacks. Palestinians also struggle with limited access to water, as Israel controls the water sources, prioritizing Israeli settlers over Palestinians. This oppressive occupation deeply impacts Palestinian daily life.
