So this gate locks about 40 Palestinian families and it actually locks at certain times where they can&#8217;t come out. And this actual side of the road that I&#8217;m walking on, Palestinians can&#8217;t come. There&#8217;s actually a bus stop over behind me and the Palestinians aren\u2019t allowed to take it. I can take it. The Palestinians can&#8217;t take it. That&#8217;s complete racism at the heart and I walk over here at the bus stop, you&#8217;ll see. How you doin?. You can see the heavily guarded stuff from the Palestinians. I wonder who&#8217;s protecting who. They all seem so worried about the Palestinians. There&#8217;s nothing to worry about. It&#8217;s terrible. Do you like the racism?<\/p>\n<p>Israeli man: Do I like racism? <\/p>\n<p>Robert Martin: Yeah. What do you think about the Palestinians not being able to walk around here?<\/p>\n<p>Israeli man: I don\u2019t know much about it.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Martin: Because you don&#8217;t think about other people. <\/p>\n<p>Israeli man: Of course I do. <\/p>\n<p>Robert Martin: Then how can you not think when they can&#8217;t walk here and they can&#8217;t get the bus, They can&#8217;t get the bus, they can&#8217;t go anywhere. What do you think?<\/p>\n<p>Israeli man: I have to read up about it.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Martin: What do you mean you have to read up? You\u2019re living here man. They\u2019re not letting other people who live here to go on the bus.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli man: I live in America, I come here few times.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Martin: American dollars paying, fantastic. Hey can I ask you what you think of the racism here? What do you think? What do you think about the Palestinians not being able to walk here? You don\u2019t care?<\/p>\n<p>Israeli soldier: I don\u2019t understand English.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Martin: You see the arrogance about it&#8217;s very arrogant that they&#8217;re racist right to the heart. It&#8217;s disgusting. You should be really ashamed of yourself. I just wonder if I could ask a couple of questions? You want to tell me about\u2026you want to talk to me? About why the Palestinians can\u2019t walk in here? You don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going on over here? You don&#8217;t care? Because you&#8217;re all protected by this.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli man: Are you recording me?<\/p>\n<p>Robert Martin: Yeah I am recording, because you&#8217;re racist. So why don\u2019t you  tell everyone why are you living here? and what you&#8217;re doing occupying someone else&#8217;s land.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli man: That\u2019s not their land. It&#8217;s our land. <\/p>\n<p>Robert Martin: Okay you tell us? I want to know.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli man: It\u2019s our land.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Martin: It\u2019s yours? <\/p>\n<p>Israeli man: It&#8217;s in the Bible and it\u2019s written in the Bible in very many places. <\/p>\n<p>Robert Martin: So he says that it&#8217;s racist and Palestinians shouldn&#8217;t be able to walk here? <\/p>\n<p>Israeli man: They live here best in the whole Middle East. <\/p>\n<p>Robert Martin: Then tell me why they can\u2019t walk across?<\/p>\n<p>Israeli man: Because they shot Jews on every place here.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Martin: Who shot 28 Palestinians here? Tell me.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli man: Because they killed Jews here.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Martin: Who killed the 28? Defending yourselves? Just say\u2026you know, f*ck the Palestinians. <\/p>\n<p>Israeli man: Excuse me. Please talk nicely. <\/p>\n<p>Robert Martin: I won&#8217;t talk nicely because you&#8217;re a bunch of animals.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli man: No cursing. <\/p>\n<p>Robert Martin: No cursing.
