and for us, when we talk about pro-israel, we talk about supporting a whole israel. a whole israel. the biblical promise. of course, the biblical promise a little difficult because it didn't include jordan today and parts of syria and other things but still we're talking about the whole israel that was left after 78% of the promised land, the mandated area was cut off and given to jordan. but not everybody defines everything the same way. so i'm thinking about, what does it mean when we talk about accepting the language with which the arab world has indoctrinated the left wing media? we hear about the settlements, the settlements are such a problem. we hear about the occupation. israel the occupier. the green line, the west bank, the palestinians, the very name palestinians, this is a fabrication. and everyone speaks about the palestinians. you even hear the israelis using that language. and, of course, the two-state solution. so the united nations, of course, doesn't help the situation. they came out with the declaration that zionism is racism. and then, of course, is anti-semitisi

conflict between two ways to kind of get rid of israel and israel showed itself as being a tough negotiator that's why we do it in the middle east but i want to agree with my colleague omar that i really think that american involvement is not a good idea what i don't understand is why omar says now let's use the americans on our side i say forget it let's push the west out let's have direct negotiations discussions between the tribe of the jewish people the tribe of the arab peoples we are middle eastern peoples we are really cousins we are related we don't need the west to get involved i think that they are not interested in regional issues and i'm going to tired of the borders has not all these countries and this whole you know new occasional market i can go to you know i mean one of the biggest problems . if i go to. about people who one piece on both sides versus extremists who are happy to continue this fight on both sides this is not about jews versus arabs and it's not actually you can say that you should do well if there was a world to both sides it's actually even if you don't have

it is actually that israel has the highest proportion of g.d.p. invested in security military compared to any other country the world just to put into proportion most european countries have between one percent and two percent of their g.d.p. going to their defense budgets and the united states which is a very militarized economy as four point five percent so about a third of israel well how do they hide the cost for the nuclear bomb program because. it's got about two hundred nuclear warheads and of course that's against international law but they need to pay for it somehow how do they hide that in the in the books. budget of defense is actually a state secret nobody can know what's inside there and just a big number ok so that twenty percent number is understated by the factor of the nuclear arms program which is a pretty expensive program so i feel you've got to double the twelve percent right there i'm not sure it's not already included there because already we're talking about many many billions for a very small country after all. it's. it co

israel is surrounded by enemies. and some of them are only separated from israel by a fence or a wall. most palestinians are controlled by one of two organizations. in gaza it is hamas, and others, the muslim brotherhood created group which sprang from the violence of the first fatah in 1987 and in the west bank or more properly judea and samarra, it is fatah and others, the main branch of the palestine liberation organization or plo. few in the west will dispute that hamas is a terrorist organization. the group has been involved in countless terrorist acts including a number of suicide bombings. at least one of which almost took the life of my wife. as well hamas has a charter within which the group in no uncertain terms calls for the destruction of israel. hamas clearly is a terrorist organization. and no one except the most blind of the blind expects the group to be a peacemaker. but while hamas is being portrayed and rightly as the antithesis of peace, israel is peaceful and moderate. i am here to say to you and

now israel is even blocking back so the siege is now slow so. has such a strong momentum such a strong element of pictured that it even costs money to these really well yeah i mean it's a loss leader like a grocery store put milk in the front or in the back of the store and they'll sell that a loss to get people to buy other stuff at the grocery store i mean they make money at it it is really make money operating a ghetto in the gaza strip they would shut it down in a heartbeat all right sarah thanks so much for being on the kaiser report thank you very much and that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report me max kaiser and stacey herbert i thank my guests share hever of the alternative information center if you want to send me an e-mail please do so at kaiser reported r t t v are you until next time this is next kaiser same.

and why israel operates the siege over the gaza strip and what it's. it's extremely interesting but also extremely worrying is the fact that the economic interest economic agenda whereby israel would always be willing to make some money let's say by allowing the international community to send. money to gaza to sustain the refugee camps but actually do so by buying products from israel products made in this room and thereby creating a nice little export venue for israeli companies now israel is even blocking that so the siege is now full so. has such a strong momentum such a strong element of pictured that it even costs money to these really go well yeah i mean it's a loss leader like a grocery store put milk in the front or the back of the store and they'll sell that a loss to get people to buy other stuff at the grocery store i mean they make money at it if israel does make money operating a ghetto in the gaza strip they would shut it down in a heartbeat. ever thanks so much for being on the kaiser report thank you very much and that's going to do it

has refusal to pressure israel especially in the area that. building new settlements means that the white house refuses to fill the bill its obligations we have towards the palestinian leadership hold. that it is we asked them what will you tell us in the future that you are a co-sponsor of the peace process your signatures and all the treaties including the oslo accords yes the treaty was drawn up in oslo but it was signed in the white house in washington you will witness did you demanded that we would fulfill certain obligations and we did then you adopted the road map plan which was supposed to be binding for all science involved we fulfilled all the obligations under this plan as well israel fulfilled learn of their obligations today you're saying that you're not able to fulfill what you promised and sponsored how can we now believe that you will help the fulfillment of obligations which will be worked out in the coming talks so trust has been broken on the issue of israel settlement activities is a very important issue in and of itself bu

in the west bank israel has built a barrier a wall made out of fences and concrete it is part of israel's defense it protects settlements and it ties them closer to israel. the barrier of the wall is mainly built on occupied land in breach of international law according to the international court of justice. for the palestinians in the west bank the wall results in further land loss to israeli settlers. but there are israelis helping the palestinians to recessed the construction of the wall what we're doing here right now is trying to tap into was denied trying to stop construction a good reason to more from what we're standing at the top of the wall right now there's about a about four or five kilometers into the way the bank i'll try to fix fredricka interesting recognized border the international court of justice in the hague has ruled that dish tactic to the construction of fish barrier is illegal but if you continue continue building it right now in a village called nearly twenty five hundred dunam about to be confiscated from the village. it was probably one. story short. he. i. now

as holy as the land of israel is human life is more holy. so if you can prevent bloodshed by territorial compromise as painful as it is to give up part of. the places that it's ok if your history of god's promise to to the place where it came from profits while it's human life. with hands down trumps it's so much more important. i've been i've been but i think that. the majority of the pristine struggle is a civilian it's an insurrection. when a child throws a stone at a soldier it's just a fight. when you wage a war against a civilian population with an army it is incredibly stupid to believe that the violence is not going to. go back at you at some point i'm not going to tell you that it's it's right or legitimate or or morrow to to blow up a bus with civilians but if you want to. bomb gaza and kill a thousand four hundred people in. in in a month and you want to expect that this will have no effect until the feet. you have to be either extremely naive for extremists. sometimes in some cases you choose unjust means because they are the onl

israel has launched an air strike in northern and central gaza that's according to the israel defense force and hamas palestinian officials claimed people were injured it comes in the same way gaza marks the sea year anniversary since a major military offensive by israel the three week war led to more than a thousand palestinians dead many of them civilians israel said it was responding to palestinian rocket attacks and targeted hamas militants but their purpose of true worldwide condemnation because of the huge number of civilian casualties israel gaza after hamas which it believes is a terrorist group took control of this trip in two thousand and seven says that eight hundred restricted and rarely reaches its destination as porous here has been finding out. israelis and economics. shankar who is easing but they can't deny the border and international condemnation is heating up and asian aid convoys with politicians and activists from eighteen countries is on its way to gaza on border one hundred eighty people food and medical supplies and a determined core to reach gaza on the secon

feeling of superiority in israel a feeling of guns and impunity to international law that makes israel behave in such a manner with the leader of one of the most important countries in the world and i think that is the reason here which is a political one we have. a government knows that its policy is counterproductive to value needed many european countries that are leading most countries in the war devalue needed an american companies. need to many people even inside the united states so that also applies but i share with you seeking to have a more active role in. the fourth fifth and israel wants to look russia is the only country in the quarter that has a tickle denies the palestinian state back and nine hundred eighty eight so there is no reason why russia should accept to be proud allies and put on the shelf for more than two years that within the park just because the united states is one of the allies in the process and the united states' policy is totally subjected to the israeli manipulation and i think things have reached a point where their israeli policies even hurting the
