If you switch to the other side, you could see another military army watching tower.
They are trying hard again on this area is to take over and to kick us outside here.
But we are strong, and we got used to all this, and we are determined to stay.
We are not gonna give up as long as we live.
Because this is our homeland, and we grown up in these stores.
I came down here when I was seven years old, I'm 58.
I'm already grandfather.
And we want you to do us a big favor, please.
Try to spread what you've seen in your house because you are a witness, and add on top of that, stick all what you c uh what you gonna take as photographs or pictures, put it on your page on your Facebook and show it and cherry because we don't deserve all this.
At the end, we're all a human being and we must respect each other.
And they try to advise for us to encourage people to come down here because it's safe, it's secure, it's one of the nicest city in the West Bank.
The biggest city is Hebron, capital of economy, industry, factories, everything is nice about it.
And thank you.
Thank you.
You just told us that the settlers throw piss, bleach, poop, rocks, all types, that's a bottle full of pee, and they do it all in front of the IDF, the Israeli military, and they do nothing.
24 hours.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, two minutes.
My name is Radha Mormela, I am Beth Salem.
Human rights in Garzai.
I am Valentine, Bethell.
And this is the beginning.
Right.
We took the Israelite.
We took Abraham more.
Here is the water.
Bye bye.
Oh.
Yeah, what's that?
I'm a bug open behind you to let me go fast.
You are facing one of the biggest settlements in the heart of the city, and they gave it a name to Israeli, they call it Abraham Abino settlement.
The big part of the settlement is behind this building.
They built it on the main vegetable and the food market.
We used to have a big market, selling in big quantities to stores in Hebron and Hebron district.
They shut it down, kick all shopkeepers, they built new buildings, a huge buildings, so many floors, and they live in them right now.
It's not enough what they've done over there.
If you stand here on this side, you could see as well.
They occupied all these all the floors and they added another floor on top which is not their property.
It's the last thing and they did sell it to them.
And this metal metal metal shopkeepers are kind of protection because they keep it around all kinds of garbage and the trash on top of the boxes.
Sometimes it goes further more than that by pouring at people liquid.
Dirty water, bleach, urine, sewage, rotten eggs, they fist.
So this is the market where the settlers live above and they stick and piss, throw their poop down, their trash, rocks.
So the market needed to the market needed to put fence up here to protect the people in the market.
You can see all the Palestinian shops.
So this is the Hebron markets, the settler buildings above me.
The Palestinian market below.
They got the fence to protect us from rocks.
