00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			The craziest thing about being
creative is that Israel is not a
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			democratic state. It is an
apartheid regime, as noted by
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			Amnesty International, that Israel
claimed that babies were beheaded,
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:15
			when in reality, Palestinian
babies have been literally cleaved
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			in half. There are so much footage
coming out of a you can literally
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			just look up videos and see them.
It's a tooth out borders in Gaza
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			said that 100% of their patients
treated on Wednesday were
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			children. Is that Israel detains
five to 700 children a year. They
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			are subjected to blindfolding at
the time of arrest, they are
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			sometimes shot and have broken
bones and denied healthcare while
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			nourished. They are not allowed to
have an adult with them. Are
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			required to sign something in
Hebrew, a language many of them do
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			not understand. They are taken in
the middle of the night. They are
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			sexually abused, of course,
emotionally abused, including
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			putting them in solitary
confinement for days. The most
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			common reason Palestinian children
are jailed and tried in military
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			court is for throwing rocks.
Palestinians rely on Israel for
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
			permission to be able to receive
medical care, and they are
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02
			routinely denied 2023 and if you
haven't seen videos, Zion is
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06
			forcibly taking lands of
Palestinians and their homes. You
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			are stealing my house, and if I
don't steal it, someone else is
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			gonna steal it, calling for a
Nakba, which is the literal
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:16
			slaughter of 10s of 1000s of
Palestinians. How do you think
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			this hate exists? They murdered
and forcibly removed people living
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			there to bring new people in.
Those want to make this a
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			religious issue, making it seem as
if Jews are on one side and
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			Palestinian Muslims and Christians
are on another side. Jews,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			Christians and Muslims lived
together for centuries in peace,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			in Palestine. This is from the
1800s where Jewish worshipers are
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			worshiping at the Wailing Wall.
Every person of conscience wants
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			everyone to live with safety. This
is why there are so many Jewish
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			voices speaking against these
atrocities, including ex IDF
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			soldiers who speak about wetting
their beds every night because of
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			what they were ordered to do to
Palestinians most haunts you and
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:55
			your conscience about what you did
in your time as a soldier. For me,
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			it's the routine way we control
the Palestinians, right? The
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			Palestinian can wake up in the
morning and not know if you will
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			be at work on time go to sleep.
Not know if soldiers will invade
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:08
			his home. We basically control the
most simple and basic elements of
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			life at roads and the settlements
are so forth and so forth. They
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			exist all around the occupied
territories, military activity,
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:18
			home invasions, patrols, digital
surveillance. It's dehumanizing.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			Palestinians calling them little
animals, and then for over 2
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			million people who cannot go
anywhere, bombing them. But the
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			craziest thing about being
creative is that you can lie,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:32
			conduct literal war crimes for 75
years and then ask victims who are
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			coming out of the rubble of their
home having lost generations of
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			their family in just 30 seconds,
do you denounce violence? There
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			are two sides of this conflict,
the occupier and the Occupy which
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:45
			means it's not a conflict at all.
It's literal genocide. You.
