elections less than a month away israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has made no bones about who he favors and it is not iraq obama netanyahu has basically been pushing obama in the united states around. pushing that not forcing america to do anything that america doesn't want to do but forcing america to accept to shut up in the face of netanyahu is what netanyahu as we would job obviously does not like and netanyahu has done that has melted do that because he knows that there is such that the republicans are totally behind him netanyahu has had very public spats with the obama administration the most recent of which was sparked by his demand that the u.s. sit out the red lines for iran which if crossed would bring military action so far washington's refused prompting a tongue lashing from netanyahu. who. don't know. what is already working. at a recent united nations session netanyahu went further he produced the now famous bomb diagram while drawing a red line. american strength note of apology his outburst appears in an anti obama advertisement that will be broadcast on u.s.

our people have become targets and abused with occupying forces and the israeli government. the settler is attack should not surprise anyone, for it is the inherent code on the continuation of occupation anti-dormant policy that deems the satisfaction to be the absolute priority. it is that isreali curriculum and extremist opinions that are ripe with hatred and are rooted in discriminatory laws created and enacted over the years against the palestinian people, as well as by the security apparatus which provide excuse after excuse for the accelerated -- release should one of them happen to be arrested. the fabricate excuses for soldiers who have committed what are clearly considered crimes and acts of murder, torture, and abuse. over the past year since the convening of the general assembly's previous assembly, the occupying insisted -- it is a campaign aimed at altering the history's mankind. it is a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the palestinian people via demolition of their homes and prevention of their construction and residency rights and the denial of basic servi

as soon as the temple mount had fallen, the chief rabbi of the israeli army, the chief rabbi of the israeli army, rushed to the site and took the israeli commander on the spot by his lapels. do it now, do it now. he was saying do what now? and the man said blow up the two mosques. blow them up. this is the time to do it. it can be done with 100 pounds of tnt. he had actually threatened to put the chief rabbi in jail if he did not stop this nonsense. such was the feeling of triumphalism. it is not a coincidence, it is not the coincidence the likud and the mujahideen appeared after 1967. the first in 1973 and the second in 1974. and it is not a coincidence that the first right-wing government since the beginning of zionist colonization was after 1967 led by bacon in 1977. bacon himself was no secularist. bacon as you know basically deserted the youth movement in warsaw and ended up via russia after the german invasion of russia, ended up by russia and palestine. in 1944, february 1944, during the second world war, before hitler was defeated, bacon had become the leader of the terrorist organi

intelligence agencies, most of the israeli intelligence and military officials, etc., everybody agrees that is way down the road. but for governor romney, the red line he has claimed and he claimed it again in his speech -- his own foreign-policy speech is that he will rely on the israeli red line, although he did not identify it as that, which is preventing iran from obtaining nuclear weapons capacity, nuclear-weapons capability. that is a whole cuttlefish. that is now. the ability to produce enriched uranium, which any country with a nuclear power program has come including iran, and scientific know-how, which iran has come except for the five scientists that have been assassinated presumably, widely believed by israel. that is the difference. is the red line getting a nuclear weapon or is the red line getting nuclear capability? >> why does that distinction matter to the american people? >> i think that it is a very dangerous development to set redlines in diplomacy. it means that diplomacy is almost bound to fail in here is our bread line, more sanctions, more sanctions, more sanct

just who was flying the drone that was shot down by the israeli military? san francisco caused a big mess >>> it's an anticolonialism anti-imperialism anticapitalism anti-fleet week protest. >> a group of 30 protestors in san francisco caused a mess at samsung in california. they broke windows at a nearby starbucks. 40 police officers in riot gear showed up and several people were arrested. a rally in march in downtown san francisco to mark the 11th anniversary of the war in afghanistan was uneventful. >>> five people were taken into custody in england to face trial in the u.s. were facing charges they conspired to set up an oregon training camp. one man pled not guilty at today's hearing in new york city. four other defendants also entered not guilty pleas to terrorism charges. >>> a fourth straight day of our tell youry fire between syria and turkey on the border between the two countries. on wednesday, shelling by syria killed five civilians in a turkish bordertown. turkish officials say they will fire back if any stray shells land within their borders.

but governor romney has not said exactly with he'd put that line, nor did the israelis. i thought that his sentence where he said "there should never be any daylight between the israelis and the united states" was a very interesting and important one. i think that the obama administration would say, look, if there was no daylight the israelis might well have taken military action by now and the u.s. would be sucked into it. the u.s. would have to join it. so there has been daylight, but the daylight in the obama administration's view has been intended to say to the israelis, "look, we're not at the point yet where they're about to get a bomb, there are other possibilities, including more sanctions and more sabotage." >> rose: prime minister netanyahu would welcome this speech? >> by and large yes. but there were some interesting statements that i'm not sure if the word would be "welcome." when governor romney talked about a two-state solution in the middle east and talked about a prosperous and secure independent palestinian state, that was interesting to me because give

clearly we know the story about how the israelis really put the pressure on the united states and somehow got them to. allow all the the terrible massacres that that really are still remembered in lebanon of course in the one nine hundred eighty two so i mean this is this has been a major factor but i think the united states also you know does take into account. you know what is the likely hood that the policies that it follows will have implications for the rest of the region and i think that they as i said before i think that there is a greater degree of caution now than there might have been a few years ago about destabilizing lebanon there was a time when the united states was more or less openly making it clear that it was encouraging a coup against. the government in lebanon and in syria as well so there's there's reason to believe that now the united states is much more cautious about the the costs and risks of the destabilisation i want to come back also to to ask my fellow discussants here what the logic is to believe that the syrians could could gain by an assassination of this

you did hear it from the israeli prime minister and today you're hearing it once again from mitt romney. mitt romney has been vague. he has gone back and forth on the issue of capability and sometimes he says it and sometimes he doesn't. today he is very cat goral in saying in a romney administration iran would not be able to have that capability of building a nuclear bomb which is significantly different than the threshold laid out by the president. >> and let's talk about syria which has been somewhat of a thorn in the side of this current sitting american president, and mr. romney, governor romney's view of syria, there was something in these prepared remarks that we excerpted that stood out to me and i want to get your take on it. he said or he will say according to his prepared remarks released, i will work with our partners to identify and organize the rebels who share our values and ensure they obtain the arms they need. we all know that currently the american administration is not providing arms or suggesting they're facilitating providing arms. i am not sure whether 2k3w078 is
