Daily life in Israel is punctuated by incoming missiles, civil strife, and unpunished settler violence. Tracks East went to Israel to take the pulse of a people seemingly forever at war.

01:20i work as a journalist at the liberal daily newspaper haaretz we report on the full horrors
01:26that are happening under the shadow of the war
01:30from settler violence in the west bank with no arrests or no consequences
01:35from police who just don't show up at israeli arab cities with soaring homicide raids
01:41from the deliberate silencing of anyone who's pushing back from liberals to ngos to journalists
01:48like me at the same time israelis have been living with bombs raining down on them from
01:57iran and hezbollah for many months now it's just the norm
02:08it's like that's so many people around you that you know who get drafted into endless military
02:13deployments with no clear goal in sight

06:52since october 7th
06:55suicide among israeli soldiers has been on a dramatic rise
07:11so here we can see a place uh the building that got hit by a bomb in the war with
07:17iran
07:21this is not new to me this is this is not
07:27it's like you know it's moving me but it's still
07:34somehow we got normalized you know
07:38somehow we have to keep living
08:03everything
08:04with the
08:07war
08:07what the fuck
08:08Fuck you.
08:12I got a call, like a...
08:15How do you call it?
08:16A junk call.
08:17Yeah, a junk call from Itamar Beringvir,
08:22explaining how the death penalty
08:25to Muslim terrorists are just in.
08:30And he says, like, Baruch Hashem, and...
08:34Praise God.
08:34Yeah.
08:35Fuck him.
08:38So a lot of people treat us in the world
08:41as we all support what the government is doing.
08:45And this is not a reality here.
08:47Before October 7th,
08:49there was a lot of protests against Netanyahu.
08:53Like, Netanyahu is still in power
08:54because a lot of people,
08:57although they're against what he's doing,
09:00they say, like, who else?
09:02Like, who else will lead Israel?
09:04And I feel that, like, this is not the right way to think.
09:11After October 7th, Israel and the Israeli society
09:15were, like, the most united that I've seen.
09:19And now we are divided, like, I think,
09:24the most that I've seen in my life.
09:47This is the Jaffa.
09:49The language that people speak on the street here,
09:52It's not Hebrew, it's Arabic.
09:55Of course, we have clashes and we had some pretty bad events here.
10:05But I want to believe... Oh, here's the sirens.
10:09The sirens!
10:10I want to believe that people are good, you know?
10:18It happens quite often here.
10:20I'd say, like, three to five times a day.
10:24But I'd say sometimes it's a bit more stressful.
10:29You know, you get up in the middle of the night, there's a lot of flokkats.
10:46I wish there was peace. That is my only wish.
10:51I wish I could have children here knowing they are not going to die in a war.
11:07Israel has long prodded itself in being the only democracy in the Middle East.
11:10But there's a deepening occupation of the West Bank.
11:13There are far-right figures in charge, like Itamar Bengvir,
11:16the man who popped open a champagne bowl when he finally pushed through the death penalty bill.
11:21A law that will be applied only to Palestinians, of course.
11:25History! History!
11:30Now imagine that you're not Jewish.
11:33That you're one of the 20% of the Arab or Palestinian citizens in Israel.
11:44I want to have high hopes, but I want to be realistic also.
11:48As long as we have people that think it is fine to bomb other people just to feel secure,
11:54the war will continue, you know?
11:58What is my opinion on Netanyahu?
12:01Netanyahu is a war criminal and a fascist.
12:06My name is Amal. I'm a journalist and I'm a Palestinian with an Israeli ID.
12:15I am a content creator also.
12:17Like, there's more than 250,000 people following me on my own social media.
12:22I'm going to ask you a few times, how is the life of an attack?
12:25So, back to this video.
12:40In 1948, more than 900,000 Palestinians lived in here.
12:46But after the Nakba, after the tragedy of the Palestinian people,
12:50only 150,000 left.
12:53My great-grandpa was one of them.
12:55That's why I'm a Palestinian with an Israeli ID.
13:04The war with Iran made everyone here live on a survival mode.
13:09And this is exactly what this government wants, you know?
13:15They're just pushing us to more and more wars so we can forget about what's happening in Gaza,
13:22and what's happening in Lebanon, and what's happening in here.
13:26So you won't think about, okay, is it nice living here?
13:30Are we happy? Is the education good?
13:32Do we get enough medical services?
13:46So I'm going today to Silouan in Jerusalem.
13:54All of the people living there, they're Palestinians, but they don't have an Israeli ID.
13:59The only residents in Israel.
14:03And right now the government is trying to take them out of their houses.
14:07You know, they're people that stayed in the land after 1948.
14:12And the government claims that those houses are houses of Jewish people.
14:28So it's taking out all the Palestinians, bringing new Jewish settlers in it.
14:34And I have no other word to describe it but ethnic cleansing of the area from Palestinians.
14:41Those families have nowhere to go, no money to buy new houses.
14:52The media in Israel, the mainstream media, is also a partner in crime.
14:57You know, when the war on Gaza started, they didn't show anything about what's going on in Gaza,
15:03also with the Iranian war.
15:04So I made a decision of not working with any of these,
15:08and I've started working with Sabra.
15:10Sabra is a Hebrew-speaking Palestinian magazine.
15:14If I speak Hebrew, then I can, you know, reclaim my own narrative.
15:20Because the Palestinian-India-Israeli media is either someone who's criminal
15:25or someone who is supporting terror.
15:31Hello! How are you? How are you?
15:34How are you?
15:35How are you?
15:35How are you?
15:36How are you doing?
15:36I'm going to Selwyn actually now.
15:38I'm meeting someone.
15:39Next week, you know, there's 87 families.
15:42They're going to be like, expelled from their houses.
15:45Just crazy.
15:46Like, 87 families, you know?
15:48Have you ever like, faced this amount of Jewish supremacy before?
15:53Or is it getting worse, you know?
15:54Look, it's generally speaking, we're in the worst moments in the time and also in violent
16:00ways.
16:01But I think we also never saw so many people joining us to fight.
16:07We hear Jews and Palestinians protesting Israeli settler terror that is happening across
16:13the occupied West Bank with full support from our government.
16:30You can immediately see how the face of the city changes.
16:39You just know that you got into a Palestinian area.
16:45Yes.
16:55Hello.
16:56How are you?
16:56What's the news and how are you?
16:58I'm on the phone.
17:04I'm old.
17:05I'm an boyfriend of a 7-year-old.
17:06I'm a married person in this house.
17:09I grew up in this place.
17:10We're here in 1966.
17:12We're here in 1966.
17:12In 2015, we were told that you would find me on the land of Michelle.
17:19This is the case.
17:21Let's see the next step.
17:24This is 17-5.
17:27If you didn't get out of it,
17:30this is 17-25.
17:32You can get out of power.
17:33You can get out of power.
17:34You can get out of power.
17:37You can get out of power.
17:38It's not just a hundred or hundred percent of the world.
17:43There are no sectors in the land of Michelle.
17:52We met here in the 60s and 70s.
17:56We had lived here in this place.
17:58We were born here,
18:00and we lived here in a small town.
18:01We lived here in the Philippines.
18:04We lived here in the Philippines,
18:05They have no legal rights.
18:09But the Jews, with a strong response,
18:12they have been saying that the wait for 120 or 130 years
18:16in the Hussmanian, they can confirm
18:19through the Israeli military,
18:23which is helping the indigenous people.
18:35In the past, you were able to enter into your house.
18:39You have to give an idea to enter into your house.
18:42Today, you enter into the house and build the building.
18:45So, I'm going to tell you about these problems
18:46that the authorities and the government
18:50were able to move on to the government.
18:53This is what happens.
18:55The government is against the Palestinian people.
18:59They didn't go to the past.
19:10And we will be able to take care of you.
19:12Inshallah.
19:27Inshallah.
19:27Those people are being expelled from their own houses.
19:31I mean...
19:37It's very sad, you know.
19:38It's so sad.
19:44You know, people abroad always expect
19:48Palestinians and Jews to be enemies, you know.
19:52What makes the tense between people
19:54is the policies of the government
19:56and not the connection between people themselves.
19:59I mean, we're all Middle Eastern, you know.
20:01We have more in common than things that could divide us.
20:10I wish that everyone could fulfill their own dreams, you know,
20:14on this holy land.
20:31One can find posters of Palestinian children killed in Gaza.
20:36When Israelis would hang them up,
20:38bypassers would shout, cry, and curse.
20:42How dare you be empathetic towards Palestinians, they'd say.
20:46Even though they're just children.
21:03When they were tore down and destroyed,
21:06Arabs and Jews gathered together to put them back up.
21:18I can't explain to you more clearly how divided we are as a society.
21:33During the war, it has become a tradition for families and friends
21:36to make memorial stickers for their loved ones.
21:46These pictures of young Israeli soldiers are around every corner.
21:52For me, it's a reminder of how surrounded by death we all are.
22:10I am so proud of.
22:12They're there?
22:13They're devastated.
22:15You have to go, move, move, move.
22:22Just now you can see the intercepting missile coming out of the Iron Dome.
22:28Yeah, boom.
22:34So this is normal.
22:36So this is normal. It's like another day in the north of Israel.
22:45This is the Hermon mountain, and behind it is Syria.
22:50And behind those mountains, there, it's Lebanon.
23:00So my name is Nitzan Yulzareh.
23:04I am an artist and owner of a cafe gallery.
23:12And I'm living and operating the gallery here in Kibbutz Leavot Abashan.
23:28Welcome here.
23:35So me and my partner decided to live here in the north, which is the closest we can get to
23:44nature.
23:50Just since I got here, the world started.
23:53So it's like basically after it started, even my parents didn't want to come and visit me.
23:58Oh, like I'm pushing my son in the swing.
24:01But suddenly a big bang starts and he just looked at me when he was a baby and just like,
24:07boom.
24:08And it's fucked up.
24:09It's not the scene.
24:23It's not the scene.
24:24It's the scene.
24:25It's not the scene.
24:30It's the scene.
24:30I'm living here in Kibbutz Leavot Abashan.
24:36I'm staying here in Kibbutz.
24:37It's a process, a process, and also, yes, I've got my work as a process.
24:47Here in the kibbutz, it's very left-wing,
24:51and the people that live here
24:54are also actively demonstrating against the government.
25:00They share my political opinions,
25:02which is that we should stop the war, stop the occupation,
25:09live in peace, acknowledge Palestinian people.
25:16So I think the Israeli society is more divided than ever.
25:21The war made a lot of people go, like, on two ways.
25:29One is thinking that the best defense is the offense,
25:34and we should go to war and fight until it's over.
25:39And a lot of people just thought about, why are we doing this?
25:47I think Netanyahu lost most of this area,
25:52because this area is a war zone,
25:56and people are pretty tired of his lies.
26:01Because even now, when there's, like, agreements all around,
26:07in Gaza, with Iran and everywhere,
26:10here, the campaign against Hezbollah is still on.
26:15It was supposed to be over.
26:17It started again, like, from the beginning.
26:27We decided to immigrate to Portugal,
26:30because we wanted to get out of this war story.
26:34It is not going to a good place,
26:37and not just because of the war,
26:39because of what the war revealed about our own people,
26:45about what do you need to do to survive in this area of the world,
26:54like in the Middle East.
26:57And, like, the idea of my son going to the army
27:01and having to fight for and survive is horrible.
27:18We're closing for today.
27:21Second shift starts.
27:26We're going to do...
27:29So...
27:30We're going to do a wall painting.
27:37My military service impacts a lot on me,
27:42and also impacts my art.
27:45I understood the burden that I carry as an Israeli,
27:52the burden of the occupation of Palestinians in the West Bank,
27:59and the impact of defending,
28:03defending my people, my family,
28:06and what was expected from me to do.
28:23The name is...
28:27Peace within our people is peace within ourselves.
28:38The Israeli trauma of growing up in the Intifada,
28:44or serving the army,
28:46or having my father serving and has his own traumas
28:52from his woe and my grandfather.
28:54This is a thing that I want to break.
28:57That's a very big motivation for me,
29:01to take off the burden from...
29:04Maybe not from my shoulders,
29:08but from my son's shoulders.
29:25Right?
29:26Let's go.
29:33Let's go.
29:35Let's go.
29:36Let's go.
29:36Let's go.
29:37Let's go.
29:38Let's go.
29:38Let's go.
29:39Let's go.
29:40Let's go.
29:40Let's go.
29:41The seemingly endless war is closely tied to Benjamin Netanyahu,
29:44Israel's seemingly endless prime minister,
29:47the longest serving in the country's history.
29:49Why?
29:50Because he knows how to play the politics of fear,
29:52while his opposition just tries to copy him
29:55and showing no alternative.
29:57Will elections in the end of the year bring real change?
30:01I've already learned one thing in this country,
30:03is not to be a prophet.
30:04Let's go.
30:06Let's go.
30:29Let's go to the Washington Post.
30:34Please do your first technical support...
30:34about gold.
30:34You can get z Lorene soon.
30:40You
