12 years ago Israel seizing Palestinian homes for themselves in East Jerusalem: "Wherever you look in Sheikh Jarrah you will see either police or settlers. Sheikh Jarrah feels like a military zone. Enter any home on Sheikh Jarrah and you will find a sad story"
"To encounter security forces in our neighbourhood is very normal. They give protection and security to the settlers."
" A short fact about this playground. You see that area over there? Over there? Every settler mother has a key for that lock over there. Every time her children want to play they can go in. However, if a Palestinian child wants to go in they'll be smacked by the settlers."
The 'tourist' with the very American accent screaming at the Palestinians "We're here to stay. You're murderers" is not only horrific and abusive but tells you everything you need to know about the intentionally demonising propaganda and where it circulates. The "we" also tells you about the national identities of the settlers and occupiers, and apartheid enforcers.
The Palestinians are right, but also very brave, when they call them "theives" - they are. Israel has never been a peaceful immigration population.

There's only one thing he said that isn't true : that 'Israel has a right to build a state of their own in their homeland.'
Israelis did not build a state in their homeland. They built a state in someone else's homeland.
That's what colonialism is. And this has always been brutal colonialism; literally illegal invasion and settlement, illegal expansion, with added constant harassment and acts of terror against the indigenous population, aided by wealthy countries, especially Britain and the USA - centrally, and other countries too scared to oppose them.
Look at the UN vote for an immediate ceasefire : the countries that voted no, or abstained from voting are all the ones too scared to oppose the US - they're either helped by the US, and don't want to anger them, or they have hard won but still always on tenterhooks trade or other relationships with them.
America is only a champion of peace when it suits them, and even then everyone else just agrees that they're too hot headed and unpredictably changeable to properly call them out and reveal to them that they don't actually have a democracy. Their idea of it isn't what that actually is. Real equality? They don't know her.
