DASHCAM
DASHCAM AND CLICK ON THAT TRUSTEE HEALTH FUND ERICA. NETTA, THE U.S. IS SENDING A
STATE DEPARTMENT DIPLOMAT TO
THE MIDDLE EAST TO URGE CALM
BETWEEN ISRAEL AND
PALESTINIANS. ISRAELI
AIRSTRIKES IN GAZA KILLED A
NUMBER OF SENIOR HAMAS LEADERS
AND DESTROYED BUILDINGS HOLDING
ITS FACILITIES. HAMAS HAS FIRED
HUNDREDS OF ROCKETS AT ISRAELI
CITIES AND COMMUNITIES. NOW
CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED ON
BOTH SIDES. I MEAN YOU SEE A
LOT OF THESE BUILDINGS AND
NEIGHBORHOODS DESTROYED.
THERE'S PEOPLE LIVING THERE
THAT INCLUDES CHILDREN WHO HAVE
ALSO BEEN KILLED AND INJURED.
HERE TO DISCUSS THIS CRISIS IS
RICK PPES, PROFESSOR
OF POLITICS AND GLOBAL STUDIES
AT IMPERIAL VALLEY COLLEGE.
GOOD MORNING TO YOU AND GOOD
MORNING. OK, SO BEING A
PROFESSOR, YOU KNOW THIS IS
OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING THAT YOU
ARE AN EXPERT IN. THE GAZA
CRISIS HAS ESCALATED. WHAT'S
THE CAUSE OF ALL THIS
ESCALATION, THE TENSION, THE
VIOLENCE THERE BECAUSE YOU'VE
BEEN TRUE TO MAJOR THING WHICH
HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE
NEYE OR EVEN BEFORE THE 1948
WAR OF INDEPENDENCE. BUT IT IS
REALLY BASED ON THIS RECENT
ENCOURAGED THIS RECENT CRISIS
IS BASED ON THE ATTACK ON THE
AL-AQSA MOSQUE WHICH WHICH TOOK
PLACE ON MONDAY WITH THE
ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES WENT IN
AND TRY TO DEAL WITH THE
PROTESTERS WHO WERE UPSET ABOUT
THE POTENTIAL EVICTION
OF PALESTINIANS FROM THE THEY
WANTED THE SETTLEMENTS NEAR
JERUSALEM. IT'S ACTUALLY SHI
JARRAH AND GETS TO BE AN ISSUE
OF OK, SO YOU TAKE YOU WANT TO
TAKE KICK US OUT OF OUR AREA
AND YOU KNOW, ISRAEL SAID, YOU
KNOW, THIS BELONGS TO US AND
THERE'S BEEN ALL THIS YOU KNOW,
IT ENDS UP BEING A HE SAID SHE
SAID RIGHT. AND SO ULTIMATELY
WHAT COMES FROM THIS IS AN
ESCALATION. ISRAEL, YOU KNOW,
GETS AGGRESSIVE THEN HAMAS
RESPONDS WITH ROCKET FIRE AND
THEN ISRAEL THEN ESCALATES WITH
AIR RAIDS. AND UNFORTUNATELY,
AS WE ALL KNOW, THE VICTIMS ARE
THE CIVILIANS AND THAT'S THE
UNFORTUNATE PART. THE PEOPLE
WHO DIE ARE NOT THE ONES WHO
ARE THE PERPETRATORS. SO THE HE
SAID SHE SAID THEY SAID SABBIE
WHO ACTUALLY OWNS THAT LAND
HAVE THERE BEEN ANY COURT
DECISION ON WHO ACTUALLY OWNS
THAT LAND SINCE IT ALL KIND
OF COMES DOWN TO. WELL IT'S
INTERESTING BECAUSE AFTER THE
19TH OF THE 67 WAR BOTH OF ME
TO SEE IT THIS WAY BEFORE THE
67 WAR JORDAN AND THE
PALESTINIANS CONTROL THE
EASTERN JERUSALEM AND WEST
JERUSALEM WAS PREDOMINANTLY FOR
JEWS AND OUTCUE 67 WHEN ISRAEL
OCCUPIED ONE, THE WAR OCCUPIED
THE TERRITORY THEY STILL HAD A
SEGMENT OF PALESTINIANS LIVING
IN THE AREA BUT IT WAS
CONTROLLED BY ISRAEL SINCE THAT
TIME THERE WAS A 1970 LAW WHERE
A GROUP OF ISRAELI NATIONALISTS
CURRENTLY ARE TRYING TO USE
THAT LAW TO JUSTIFY WHY THEY
DESERVED TO OCCUPY GOVERNMENT.
HOWEVER, INCUE 16 THE UNITED
NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION 23 34 CLEARLY STATES
THAT THAT LAND THAT THE ISRAEL
ISRAELIS OCCUPIED. THEY'RE NOT
DOING IT'S NOT VALID AND THAT
IT'S ACTUALLY A VIOLATION
OF INTERNATIONAL LAW. SO THERE
IS THIS CONTEST ABOUT
INTERPRETATION AND THEY'RE BOTH
HUNKERED DOWN. THIS DECISION
HAS BEEN MADE BY THE ISRAELI
COURTS YET REGARDING THE
PALESTINIANS THEY WANT AND THEY
WANT TO KICK OUT. BUT AGAIN,
THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF AN
ICEBERG BECAUSE ONCE YOU START
WITH THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEN
EXPANDS OUT TO EVERY OTHER
INJUSTICE THAT HAS EXISTED OVER
THE LAST 70 YEARS AND THEN
THAT'S WHAT ESCALATES THE
VIOLENCE. AND PROFESSOR, IF YOU
COULD TAKE US BACK I MEAN WHY
IS THIS LAND SO PRECIOUS TO SO
MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE,
DIFFERENT RELIGIONS? I MEAN
IT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN
BATTLED OVER FOR CENTURIES NOW
.YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW, FOR
OVER A THOUSAND YEARS KINZO
ACTUALLY TOOK LONGER THAN THAT.
SO HERE'S THE THING WHEN THEY
ARE WHEN THEY ENTERED THE
TERRITORY IN 1948 AND THE YEARS
TOOK WESTERN JERUSALEM AND THE
PALESTINIANS GOT MORE MOSTLY
FROM JERUSALEM THE ISSUE WAS
ALL THE HOLY SITES. THE OLD
CITY OF JERUSALEM, THE ANCIENT
CITY ARE ALL IN EASTERN
JERUSALEM. AND SO THAT MEANS
THAT ALL THE CHRISTIANS HOLY
SITES ARE THERE AS WELL AS THE
HOLY SITES FOR FOR MUSLIMS. AND
SO THAT'S WHERE THE THAT'S
WHERE THE PROBLEM INITIALLY
STARTS FROM AND THEN FROM THERE
WHAT TAKES PLACE IS THAT THIS
IS WHERE IT GETS MESSY BECAUSE
IN THE ISSUES THAT GET BUILT UP
AROUND THE RELIGIOUS CONTEXT
WHICH IS VERY YOU THERE'S NO
RATIONAL BASIS FOR THAT IS THIS
ENDS UP BEING AN EMOTIONAL
RESPONSE HISTORICAL ECONOMIC
ISSUES, SOCIAL ISSUES, THE
MILITARY ISSUES THEY ALL THEY
ALL RIDE IN TOGETHER. SO THIS
CRISIS WILL IS KINZO THE
POTENTIAL TO GET BLOWN OUT
OF PROPORTION LIKE ALL THE
VARIOUS CRISES THAT HAVE
HAPPENED. AND NOW THERE ARE ALL
THESE VARIOUS INTERNATIONAL
ACTORS THAT ARE NOW TRYING TO
GET A SEAT AT THE TABLE. I MEAN
EGYPT WAS JUST THERE TRYING TO
TALK TO HAMAS AND TRYING TO
TALK TO ISRAEL ABOUT ESCALATING
A CEASE FIRE. RUSSIA'S GOTTEN
INVOLVED THE U.N. HUMANITARIAN
AID GROUP HAS GOTTEN INVOLVED
AND OF COURSE ALL THE WESTERN
WESTERN EUROPE AND ALSO THE
UNITED STATES ARE ALL TRYING
ASK FOR DE-ESCALATION OF THIS
CRISIS. SO IT'S GOOD. IT'S
GOING TO BE AN INTERESTING STEP
FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL PROBABLY
NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS TO SEE IF
THEY CAN GET THIS CALMED DOWN
AND HAVE A SEAT HAVE A SEAT AT
THE TABLE. A LOT OF FACTORS IN
PLAY HERE THAT IS FOR SURE.
HOPEFULLY SOME OF THESE DASHCAM
ASIAN TACTICS WILL BE WORKING
HERE IN THE
