00:00So, this is Banksy and it's known as the Pillow Fight, and as you see Palestinian and Israeli
00:21are fighting with pillows, and I think Banksy is trying to be sarcastic about media, how
00:26they present the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, because most of the times when they talk about
00:29the conflict in the media, they make you feel that we are equal in power, that we are two
00:34countries fighting with each other, while we are not. We are under occupation, we have
00:39like our kids fight with stones, while they have a nuclear power.
00:44In the Middle East, there can be no peace for either side without freedom for both sides.
00:53When is a hotel opening both a political statement and a work of art? Banksy has collaborated
00:59on and reportedly financed a West Bank hotel. You might recognize that as a Banksy, another
01:06Banksy, but actually this whole room is a Banksy. It's the presidential suite of the
01:10walled off hotel. And the idea behind this hotel is to highlight
01:16some major issues that we Palestinians encounter every day.
01:23We're addressing an American audience here. I am following in details this change in the
01:28American public opinion. A protest outside the Birthright Israel office
01:32led to several arrests today. They began to understand more and more of
01:35the reality than the facts, and the just cause of the Palestinian people.
01:40There's no such thing as a Palestinian people. They were made up in the 60s by the KGB and
01:45Yasser Arafat. Zionism, they've hijacked the name Israel,
01:49the Star of David, they're using this. They are exploiting Judaism.
01:53Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the
01:58Prime Minister of Israel, His Excellency Benjamin Netanyahu.
02:02He's the most extraordinary politician I've ever seen. He's the great Houdini of politics.
02:24I love this question. Tell them about this one.
02:28What is freedom? What is freedom?
02:30It's hard to explain something that you don't have.
