what is israel to do? one of the most keen observers of israel i know is a senior correspondent and member of the editorial board of a newspaper and has a new book called "my promised land." let's start with this boycott. this is something -- the kind of thing that people in israel have talked about and worried about which is a campaign that delegitimatizes which is the phrase i often heard. what do you make of it? >> when i heard this news i was filled and am filled with outrage. there is a limit to the hypocrisy regarding israel one can accept. you mentioned syria and egypt. there are so many countries whose violations of human rights are so much worse than can be attributed to israel but there isn't such movements against them. this is despicable in many ways. i think this trend of israel bashing and not recognizing the fact that at its heart and basis israel is a just country. israel is a moral endeavor. i find this outrageous in many ways. one is legitimate in criticizing israel policy. one is legitim

bring israel there. each one if you like science, if you like politics, whatever part of israel you can relate to work with it in a whatever we decide that i think it is our role really and i will give an example. i am really troubled by the lack of affordable jewish education in this country. i think this is the heart, if there is a future in the jewish community. i don't expect israel to send shekels to fund jewish-american schools but for instance if we would have some sort of jewish peace corps that is going around and sending our youngsters to help with the jewish schools or jewish summer camps and a million ideas. my fear is of internal jewish isolations. i don't want your community to turn its back on israel and they don't want israel to turn its back on you. i want you to do whatever. do your thing. whatever part of israel you have a right to work with but i want israel to work with you. i think the problem there is that we have to do as much deeper. i see it is my role and is my

also make israel stronger. and we are convinced that the greatest security will actually come from a two-state solution that brings israel lasting peace. shared prosperity throughout the region, good relations among neighbors, peace of mind for the people of israel and for palestinians alike -- none of this is possible without addressing israel's legitimate security concerns and ensuring that as a result of peace they are more secure, not less. that is why security led our agendas in jerusalem and ramallah this week. i want to make it clear, we have been at this since april, when we announced the resumption of talks in the months -- and the months preceding were dedicated to trying to get there. by necessity, we have had to do some groundwork, some due diligence in order to be able to address these legitimate concerns and questions in a way that they have never been addressed before. in ramallah this week, we engaged in that discussion as well as in jerusalem. general john allen, sitting right here in the secon

occupation is over israel pulled out in two thousand and five well that's partly true they pulled out this. soldiers they pulled out the settlers but if they do with the soldiers they redeployed them instead of being deployed in gaza city they are now deployed on the surface edges of gaza on the border between gaza and israel so gaza is now surrounded israel controls the borders it controls the water the fishermen of gaza are not allowed to go out more than about two miles which means they catch very few fish because there's nothing left that close into shore israel controls the air space doesn't allow gaza to rebuild the airport that israel bombed doesn't allow them to rebuild the port that they destroyed so gaza is completely surrounded completely controlled by israel and. so when israel bombs gaza as it has over and over again most notably of course in two thousand and eight and nine in operation cast lead the israelis claimed what we gave them notice we dropped leaflets they had nowhere to go they could not leave the gaza strip because they live in this enclosed open air prison th

and the people of israel the jewish state of israel are like sheep being led to slaughter because ultimately the policies of israel are completely and totally unsustainable even the cia said in two thousand and nine that israel would not be any would not even exist within twenty years henry kissinger himself said it wouldn't exist within ten years and the reason why is because its policies are totally self destructive and the puppet masters are quite happy to sacrifice the people of israel they are going to destroy themselves if they do attack iran because iran can fight back and does have allies in a lot of countries are sick and tired of israel's threats to both its immediate neighbors and even to the rest of the world when we look at the samson option i encourage people to google samson option and look at the threat that israel has posed to the world if things don't go its way but when you talk about the united states that it states is israel's main supporter but right now we see that it's kind of open to iran as well knowing how much anxiety that raises in monk israelis what does it tell

tell me that they believe that the new israel fund is committed to destabilizing the israel defense forces and erasing the jewish identity from the state of israel itself. i'll be specific. i'll give you just three names, but there are many more. the deputy knesset, the deputy speaker of the knesset went on record stating that the new israel fund is determined to destabilize the idf. i'm going to tell why he thinks that soon. m.k. lewin agreed with that completely. m.k -- kirshenbaum also agreed with that. they went on the record and added their view as legislators that the new israel fund was working through its many funded organizations to erase the identity of the jewish state using taxpayer money, american and other taxpayer money and, furthermore, to create a political force in knesset, a political party, a political wig, a political movement using american taxpayer money as a war chest. now, let me just tell you something, um, there's a lot of politics in israel, and naomi pace, the communications director of the new israel fund, once said to me -- actually several times -- ev

those are israel's two key demands and the opinion of the united states and israel is and also as i have to always be european union the position now is let's resolve the conflict according to the israeli terms that is not ten yo who make a grand show where he's withdrawing from ninety percent of the west bank to the ten percent behind the wall and in the exchange for this grand concession by the israelis the palestinians are going to have to give up the right of return that's basically how the theater the drama is going to play itself out and if you look at yesterday's for example reports yesterday in the israeli press the e.u. made a statement it said to israel and the palestinian authority you better get serious about negotiations now because if you don't resolve the conflict we're going to cease subsidizing the projects no bus bank so basically the e.u. is now colluding collaborating with the us. turning the screws on the problem is that i didn't see the purpose behind the current murderous blockade of gaza to break the will of the people of god so so they repudiate hamas the pa

director of the new israel fund, once said to me -- actually several times -- everything in israel is political. politics is okay in israel. that's all they do is politics. they can, i mean, if you think there's a lot of politics in the united states, you can quadruple that in israel. but every man, woman and child taxpayer in the united states should not pay for the war chest of a political party in israel. and what do i mean by that? i mean that for every one million dollars in tax donations that the new israel fund and any other fund gets, $440,000 has been a subsidized by american taxpayers. they like to say, as i said, we're not about soup kitchens, we're about social change. but the fact of the matter is, of the 800-plus organizations that they fund in israel and of the many organizations that those organizations fund as this octopus goes down to smaller and smaller arms, it's only scores of organizations that are involved in the topic that i'm currently talking about today. we shouldn't overlook what's good, what easter my good with what easter my bad involving the new israel f

-israel public dialogue. surpriset is no because there is a lot to talk about. -- i will just share are you quickly, haim and i about the same age. when we were each in high school, haim in tel aviv and me in new england, we both picked up the bass guitar and we dreamed of making it big as rock stars. if you ever heard the music that my bandmates and i made, and you can go on youtube and actually that my you would know first true act of public service was when i stopped playing public gigs. [laughter] maybe that is why i wound up as secretary of state and haim became a hollywood mogul. from garage band the present is quite a journey. i am looking at this front row here, mr. foreign minister. it is a pleasure to see you here. you and i will have the privilege of having breakfast tomorrow morning. i congratulate you again on coming back to these duties. i look forward to working with you. it is going to be very important. i am also privileged to see our money -- our minister of justice. we have become great fri

israel and saudi arabia hate the nuclear deal that the u. was now the world power struck with iran and israel is very vocal about it the saudis are a little bit more restrained but the saudi intelligence chief said there would be a major shift in dealings with the us saudi arabia wanted the u.s. to go all in on syria the u.s. instead went along with russia's proposal and cut a deal with the syrian leadership to get rid of chemical weapons there saudi arabia and israel are very suspicious of each other the saudis oppose the creation of the jewish state they support the palestinian cause so it's too early to speak of friendship but washington definitely brought them closer together at least in their desire to threaten war saudi arabia is now reportedly working with israel on a plan to attack iran it reportedly gave israel the green light to use its airspace in the case of a strike and pledged assistance here in washington these were the lobby is fighting what they describe as a tendency in the u.s. to disengage from the middle east the apac me

but jane one am wrong jacobsen that of the desert israel . dozens of protests and sit down to cine to meet daily to not stomach the street the purple gang that took place the cap to last december campaign is still very concerned that the playwright count within india with three taking place every hour. mind you today because my family is not safe in the days to come i want to be will not be safe and out to my daughter because in this country for a occurs every twenty minutes. no woman can say widespread protests was called to the new rules for twenty three year old victim was glued onto private bus and three tiered rates by six men while a male friend was a technical draw the head with dumped naked on the road so it's with the woman tried to keep going if the injuries two weeks late. for the attack has since been given a death penalty while the ft report to be hanged themselves in prison the sick this late into was that you've been on a sprawling was sentenced to three years in reform. i knew the losses since been introduced in india making s

the gulf cooperation council you've got israel with the united states behind it and of course you've got the united states allied with saudi arabia for all practical purposes too and then you've got iran really the only stable state in the region other than israel and this is a contention of power game in the persian gulf israel does not want a rapprochement between tehran and washington because that means israel by power implications would mean less and so it's really all about a power game in the gulf it has nothing to do except superficially with nuclear weapons and who has them and who doesn't well it does seem like there's also a power game here in washington you know the white house has said that they would veto this bill if it actually were to get passed so for some of the people who are really trying to push this bill through like senators menendez and schumer are they just think gauging in political theater here. well they are to a certain extent just as some others did for the budget battle that we had which was probably the most believable thing to show the rest of the wor

israel, tos in recognize israel as a jewish state. i think without understanding these issues, it is an impossible really to sign an .greement to move forward we also had a lot of jewish refugees from all of our lands in israel who do not keep them in the refugee camps. by the way, i did not say that some really care about the palestinians near damascus. 1600e last month, no discussion on the security council, even though we had some protests. , think it also must be clear and the biggest problem was the saudi initiative. about theal item refugees. >> to follow-up, are you not worried about -- as foreign minister, charged with israel's relations with foreign countries, about israel being isolated? isn't that a danger, given that the series of comments you have made about negotiations raking down to my not seeing an alternative, isn't isolation a concern for you? not splendid it is isolation, it is the biggest problem. we have made inroads in the international community. andant small jewish state, iran has -- we are one small jewish st

nothing about the legitimizing israel. it has to do with road testing the oppression of the israeli oppression of the palestinians and the suspension of their academic rights on the west bank and in gaza. standards, which are the gold standards for academic freedom from have nothing to do with institutions. you can read those standards. they have to do with the rights of individuals within institutions, teachers, scholars, and students, to speak out freely, in particular in relation to the scholarships they are doing. so boycotting institutions is at the academic freedom of individuals who are free to do their research, teach, and travel. the asa has said in their statement they welcome israeli scholars and palestinian scholars of all persuasions to come to asa meetings. i really think if you charge the asa with trying to delegitimize the state of israel is an actual readingy, very skewed of anything that the asa has put out. >> professor nelson, would you respond? >> hello, eric. we have been allies on other issues in the

our intelligence cooperation with israel has never been stronger. our support of israel's security has never been stronger, whether talking about iron dome, whether you're talking about trying to manage the situation in gaza a little over a year ago. across the board, our coordination on israel security has never been stronger, and that's not just my opinion, that's something that can be verified. there are times where i as president of the united states am going to have different tactical perspectives than the prime minister of israel and that is understandable because israel cannot contract out its security in light of the history that the people of israel understand all too well, they have to make sure they're making their own assessments about what they need to do to protect themselves and we respect that and i have said that consistently to the prime minister. but ultimately it is my view from a tactical perspective that we have to test out this proposition, it will make it stronger internationally, and it may possibly lead to a deal that we'll

before going to blockade more according to hamas officials israel opened dams outside the gaza strip that exacerbated the flooding israel on the other hand says the dam in question can't be opened when we're looking at a conflict this information is so suppressing it so one sided how we know what's going on often we can't know the exact details i don't know the details of the dam was it flooded could it be i don't know it's not the point the point is the occupation is what needs to end if there were no occupation the issue of was the dam deliberately flooded or not would not be an issue nobody would be flooding territory deliberately but if you're talking about a military occupation which is now going on in the west bank and the gaza strip and east jerusalem since one thousand sixty seven and with the expulsion of seven hundred fifty thousand palestinians from what is now israel back in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight you're talking about an incredibly vulnerable population of refugees and of people living under occupation and that's the problem that's the root of the problem

and the people of israel the jewish state of israel are like sheep being led to slaughter because ultimately the policies of israel are completely and totally unsustainable even the cia said in two thousand and nine that israel would not be any would not even exist within twenty years henry kissinger and self said it wouldn't exist within ten years and the reason why is because its policies are totally self destructive and the puppet masters are quite happy to sacrifice the people of israel they are going to destroy themselves if they do attack iran because iran can fight back and does have allies in a lot of countries are sick and tired of israel's threats to both its immediate neighbors and even to the rest of the world when we look at the samson option i encourage people to google samson option and look at the threat that israel has posed to the world if things don't go its way but when you talk about the united states that it states is israel's main supporter but right now we see that it's kind of open to iran as well knowing how much anxiety that raises in monkeys rallies what does it t

state of israel itself. i will be specific. i will give you three names but there are many more. the deputy speaker went on record stating dead the new israel fund is determined to destabilize the area. mk land agreed with that completely. also agreed. they went on the record and they added that the new fund was working through its many funded organizations to erase the identity using taxpayer money american and other taxpayer money and furthermore to create a political force a political party, its political wing, a political movement using american tax payer money as a war chest. now, let me just tell you something. there are a lot of politics and is now. the theory acacias director of the loom will find once said to me -- actually several times everything in israel's political politics is okay in israel. that is all they do in politics. if you think there are a lot of politics and the united states you can quadrupled and is now. but every man woman and child a taxpayer in the united states should not pay f

those are israel's two key demands and the opinion of the united states and israel is and also as i have to say always the european union the position now is let's resolve the conflict according to the israeli terms that is not ten yahoo make a grand show where he's withdrawing from ninety percent of the west bank to the ten percent behind the wall and in exchange for this grand concession by the israelis the palestinians are going to have to give up the right of return that's basically how the theater the drama is going to play itself out and if you look at yesterday's for example reports yesterday in the israeli press the e.u. made a statement it said to israel and the power authority you better get serious about negotiations now because if you don't resolve the conflict we're going to cease subsidizing the projects no bus bank so basically the e.u. is now colluding collaborating with the us. turning the screws on the publicist in the ins that incidentally is the purpose behind the current murderous blockade of gaza to break the will of the people of gaza so they repudiate hamas t

and the people of israel the jewish state of israel are like sheep being led to slaughter because ultimately the policies of israel are completely and totally unsustainable even the cia said in two thousand and nine that israel would not be any would not even exist within twenty years henry kissinger and some said it wouldn't exist within ten years and the reason why is because its policies are totally self destructive and the puppet masters are quite happy to sacrifice the people of israel they are going to destroy themselves if they do attack iran because iran can fight back and does have allies in a lot of countries are sick and tired of israel's threats to both its an immediate neighbors and even to the rest of the world when we look at the samson option i encourage people to google samson option and look at the threat that israel has posed to the world if things don't go its way but when you talk about the united states that it states is israel's main supporter but right now we see that it's kind of open to iran as well knowing how much anxiety that raises among his rallies what does it

so when israel. as it has over and over again most notably of course in two thousand and eight and nine in the in operation cast lead the israelis claim well we gave them notice we dropped leaflets they had nowhere to go they could not leave the gaza strip because they live in this enclosed open air prison that was the beginning of the sanctions period those sanctions have only gotten worse so you have now a almost a generation of gaza children who have been born and grown up who are now six seven years old who have known nothing but this kind of control now what they keep out changes when there's more pressure they open up and they quote ease the sanctions for a while they weren't allowing in pasta because it was considered a luxury they could have rice but no pasta pasta is a luxury children getting chocolate oh no children do not deserve chocolate if they're palestinian children israeli children can have all the chocolate they want as children should children should be allowed to have chocolate pa

those are israel's two key demands and the opinion of the united states and israel is and also as i have to say always be your opinion union the position now is let's resolve the conflict according to the israeli terms that is not ten yahoo will make a grand show where he's withdrawing from ninety percent of the west bank to the ten percent behind the wall and in the exchange for this grand concession by the israelis the palestinians are going to have to give up the right of return that's basically how the theater the drama is going to play itself out and if you look at yesterday's for example reports yesterday in the israeli press the e.u. made a statement it said to israel and the palestinian authority you better get serious about negotiations now because if you don't resolve the conflict we're going to cease subsidizing the projects no bust bank so basically the e.u. is now colluding collaborating with the us. turning the screws on the public student loans that incidentally is the purpose behind the current murderous blockade of gaza to break the will of the people of god so so t

israel is in violation of. the whole number of the international legal norms the ongoing occupation and colonization of the occupied territories there are periodic assaults on civilian population centers and neighboring lands there there you have our lieschen the un security council resolutions will court rulings that said or other anyway seen as a pariah state and to have the united states closely allied with israel many people are reacting izing actually does the united states more harm than good and similarly saudi arabia it is an incredibly repressive regime was as much as we complain now with some reason of course about the lack of human rights in. iran for example the human rights abuses in saudi arabia are far worse for concern about so-called fundamentalism of news comical for all you can get much more repressive than theocratic than the saudis. well still ahead the program here a lot international extending a helping hand too far to the u.k. second place its foreign aid budget that's not going down wel

your country israel would win every year it's really it's a feel good not to know who is to. star of the theater so i would serve the few moments ago now we have to distinguish between israel's a rhetorical position and its actual position israel wouldn't be investing billions and billions of dollars into building this wall if it wanted terror authority beyond the wall if i go back to our lines of you know i mean i think if i had a hard time doing this not days go ahead go ahead go ahead i'm sorry if it's not just the the wall and the west bank and gaza there and that and on a sea actually because it's through poland they're drilling gas they're taking somebody else of gas and oil. i was thinking somehow i have to come back because mom was waiting for me. i just knew that everything would be fine for some reason these were so confident because we were going to get married officially after he came back how could he not come back because the mere thought of it never crossed her mind. when the militants decided to try and break through to her new guinea screaming grenade. go whe
