yes we have an israeli prime minister who go to extreme lengths to continue to build and expand israeli settlements who doesn't want to confront the settler movement who simply wants to had israel down the path of war and is willing to go to extreme lengths to get himself reelected including attacking and yet if we go back to the u.n. but the israeli point was that it was a unilateral move that should not have been undertaken rather that israelis and palestinians should first sort of on the negotiating table i mean be hearing one of the israeli spokespeople saying that you can't make peace without actually recognizing your partner so why haven't the palestinians come forward to the negotiating table well let's talk about you know lateral measures in the first and former first unilateral measure was taken by israel continues to be taken by israel and that's building expanding the illegal settlements they have never consulted the palestinians and said we want to build here we want to build there are all of legal under international law so in terms of unilateralism it's always been the isr

the israelis, from their own strategic standpoint, has an interest in what is the future of the israeli going to be. the possibility of resolving this conflict becomes close to nil so israel has a stake in having the palestinian authority survive. israel has a stake that the movement is nationalist and not islamist. it needs to focus on what can it do to move in a direction that makes that more likely. >> rose: dennis, do you believe the israelis should negotiate with hamas? >> i do not. >> rose: under no circumstances? >> i'm not, i'm not eye don't believe that we should and the israelis should be dealing with hamas when they're not prepared to meet the minimal conditions that the p.l.o. met. if they're prepared to meet recognizing israeli, yes, you deal with them. >> rose: if they renounce violence, that would be the key? >> well, renouncing violence and recognizing israeli's right to exist. those two. >> i bow to no one in my sense of-- my dismay and anger at what the hamas charter is. it's antisemitic. it's eliminationist and so on. but the history of diplomacy is filled with two si

israelis it doesn't necessarily mean that they have to be involved directly they could. support countries or bodies that could could make life for israelis more difficult so there are many ways means in which the iranians can support the syrian people the syrian government and its her more aggression against the syrian state and the syrian people and syrian sovereignty. if the airstrike really took place what was its purpose and did it have anything to do with iran. well at this stage it's very difficult to say but i think what is important is that the united states knew about their strike before hand they did nothing about it the european union as usual so is silent about it there is no condemnation for killing syrians two for bombing the country for damaging the country's infrastructure. believe in the united states just like when they allow israel to destroy gaza to impose a siege on the people of gaza to make ordinary women and children suffer. here again be allowed the israeli regime to do what it likes they support apartheid in palestine so basically it's just a co

is not that they oppose a two state solution most surveys show about sixty percent of israelis favor it but what they realize is that until there are stronger teased that this will be an end of conflict then that makes no sense particularly in an arab world that is undergoing tremendous changes in which you don't know from one day to the next which government you might be dealing with and this is particularly true even in the west bank because the the hold which the fatah movement. has all right gentlemen we'll get when you look these are exactly the break and after a short break we'll continue our discussion but it's really politics. with our. family. was. well into the. out of sight but still on our minds radiation from the still exceeds the norm let's try to live smarter with smartphones you never know what some people are hiding things can't be sure to you protel to the molecular level learned out what the doctor ordered has all been based on secrets under our skin let us shine the light on a kid in a world. we've got the future covered. it's . a. little. bit. little. old. we. we

more and more criticism coming along with israeli settlement policies, and i think israelis feel the heat. you might even interpret this action we have just seen in syria and the rhetoric in israel about the perceived iranian threat as a means to really distract from this business in the west bank of building one settlement after the other. >> switching back to syria -- how can the you take on a more active role in mediating this dispute -- how can the e you take on a more active role? >> the european union has miserably failed to bring the sides together, and what we need is a dialogue with all parties involved, including the syrian government. the war has changed to a certain extent. government forces are regaining control of large parts of syria, and even the leader of the opposition is now ready to negotiate with the syrian leader for the first time, so the europeans need to take this into the cap account. they need to strike a balance between russian and american interests. -- the europeans need to take this into account. >> there's already talk of a peacekeeping mission in mali

the death of the famous israeli soldier. they are not preoccupied with death to yes, i think that the reason that israelis are able to be joyful and it is because they have a perspective little lot of americans don't have. >> maybe they don't know. but there was a spectacular commando raid which rescued people who had been taken hostage by terrorists. he was the only casualty on the other side. >> he was also the older brother of benjamin netanyahu and there was another brother as well. so he was quite a great hero in the eyes of the israeli people. but the point of it is that everyone has been touched by death and by loss and horror. but people recognize that life is precious when they face these things. and i think they really do want to celebrate it. when the first sirens went off in jerusalem, i thought something had gone wrong. i didn't really get it right away. then my neighbor said, are you all right? and i said yes. and she said well, you know, you have to come to dinner. it was a friday night and i really didn't wan
