1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,600
Israel looks like a cancer that is spreading
through the West Bank.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,520
I've been to the West Bank twice.

3
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:10,960
When you zoom into the West Bank, what you
realize is it's not one big block of land.

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,519
It's actually carved up into tiny, tiny,
tiny, tiny little pieces.

5
00:00:15,519 --> 00:00:20,719
They've then joined the settlements together
by highways, by these roads.

6
00:00:20,719 --> 00:00:24,080
These roads are... I've got huge walls on
either side of them.

7
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:27,199
It looks like, from a map point of view, it
looks like a cancer.

8
00:00:27,759 --> 00:00:31,359
Israel looks like a cancer that is spreading
through the West Bank.

9
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:32,960
My family are South African.

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:38,000
They lived through apartheid, a system that
legally enshrined

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,640
white people as being superior to brown and
black people.

12
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:45,280
The West Bank is apartheid as well.

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,560
The only difference is those that have
survived apartheid in South Africa

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,719
and now visited the West Bank today say,

15
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:52,320
hey, this is not actually like South Africa.

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,320
This is worse in many respects.

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,840
It is like being closed in.

18
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,200
It's like being surrounded by walls and
cages,

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,120
and your existence going to even visit your
friend or go to work or go to school

20
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,439
goes through these checkpoints, and you might
wait hours.

21
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:10,560
And when you get to the front of it, there's
some 19-year-old chewing bubble gum

22
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,879
with a rifle who decides if you're going to
make it through or not.

23
00:01:13,519 --> 00:01:15,280
This is not complicated at all.

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,359
Everyone makes it sound complicated.

25
00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:20,319
They say, oh, I don't want to talk about
Israel and Palestine because it's...

26
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,840
There's nothing complicated about it.

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,000
It's just settler colonialism.
