in jerusalem. writing history in jerusalem. writing this book the most exciting and the hardest thing that i have ever done it is sort of a nightmareish challenge in away. but when writing about jerusalem the myths are more powerful than the facts. and the story that i want to write about the facts and in thinks book the regardless of the agendas of all of the ethnic groups and religions and all of the politics. i tried to tell the truth. and to get as close to the facts as i can. even deeply and convenient. and at the same time, the myths are often the things that have changed history. more than the actual facts. so always write ago history of both. often times the facts matter less. for example. the most famous christian road i suppose you would call this in jerusalem. the road where christ to have carried his cross along the road of sorrow. and historians believe that it was the actual 50e9 right route. >> yet. >> why? >> they think that it is actually the route to the wrong to the wrong location of pilot's palace. it explai

david michaelis at link tv and he comes with west jerusalem and i come from west jerusalem, so we come from the same seat. but in reality, two different worlds. >> i was born in jerusalem and i've been living there all my life, since 1945. five years ago i came to the united states to launch a tv channel. and that's how i met jamal dajani. he challenged me to think about solutions that hadn't been discussed until now. and one day we said, well, we should test it on the ground. >> the reality there is very harsh. but why don't we go over there and do it. >> we are here in a bubble. after sometime of working together with jamal i said let's do this in california. you only have to choose in that neighborhood what kind of latte you want in the morning. >> when i go there i'm always eager to go to my people, to my neighborhood. i want to have the least interaction with the israelis as possible. >> many israelis don't want to know about palestinians. they don't want to reach out. they don't want to cross into streets and neighborhoods where the palestinians live because of a mixture of stere

israel will get jerusalem, east jerusalem, the urban center. the palestinians will get what they call the suburbs. the refugee question, palestinians will get the right of return to the palestinian " homeland." and the solution will leave palestinians with nothing. the palestinian side was reasonable. they presented negotiations which said we will allow israel to annex 2% of the west bank, but on that 2% or more than 60% settlers.llers -- we will let them keep 60% or more in place. they did their best to be reasonable and within the framework of international law. israel gets 2% of the west bank, palestinians get 2% of israel, a one-for-1 swap. the israeli-american position, one that indyk formulates, and is just an echo of the israeli position, is that you will leave the west bank fragmented down the middle, in the north, they move -- lose the water, the most arable land, they lose east jerusalem. there is no palestinian state without east jerusalem. called greaters east do so for some -- jerusalem, that account for 40% of the economy. there i

about a hundred people protested on sunday in jerusalem saying they cannot trust the palestinians. they don't want the government to release palestinian prisoners. >> freeing convicted terrorists and murderers is not normal and the outcomes cannot be good. >> reporter: the issue is personal for cameron. his 17-year-old daughter was killed a decade ago when a palestinian suicide bomber attacked a bus. cameron says it's too early for peace talks. he argues the hatred on both sides is too deep and too entrenched. >> we need at least two more generations until the bad blood and bad feelings will sink in. then maybe people on both sides will be able to open their heart and reach some kind of an agreement. >> joining us from jerusalem, why have the israelis and palestinians agreed to resume peace talks? >> in a nutshell they have vowed to renew pressure from the united states. secretary of state john kerry made middle east peace his priority. he has traveled to the region six times since he took office in february to encourage a return to the negotiation table. neither side wanted to be

paul brennan has this report from jerusalem. >> this has hardened significantly in recent months. it could be used to prop up the occupied territories. the new guidelines will deal with economics, science, culture, and academia. the main type of funding affected. what it does not cover yet is trade, but the sentiment is clear. >> we are prepared in order to implement that commitment to make a clear distinction between the state of israel and the occupied territory. >> palestinian authorities have warmly welcomed the news. they have listened very carefully and should understand that they cannot continue without accountability, and there was nothing but profit. nothing to lose. >> for those that won support, they will have to sign, 1967ulating about the pre- borders and not in east jerusalem or the occupied west bank or the golan heights. the settlements are not part of israel. the action of the government has been swift and critical. really want that peace and stability to discuss this issue for problems that are more urgent in the region, like the iranian race to obtain nuclear we

within the west bank east jerusalem who gaza and that will be very difficult for israel it's much easier when it comes to neighboring settlement goods to do or to lie and say that it would goods do not come from a settlement now are you could be necessary for the israeli government to get clear on on in terms of the guidelines that the in two d. is not a settlement ok do you think that being in this awkward situation as you have described it israel will be sort of forced to soften its stance on the expansion. i don't think it can afford to do that because politically the israeli cabinet. is divided on the issue at least to don't seem to be moving in the direction of a de facto annexation of the bank so i think it's a very difficult situation for israel to. declare it not at the time that john kerry is attempting to restart settlement talks that it is confined to its nine hundred sixty seven borders and that's the crunch really. ok netanyahu has said that the new rules violate existing agreements so does that mean that we're likely to see some sort of a clash here between the e.u. and isr

i think i think most people around here in jerusalem. aren't really paying attention to these talks is all rightly is maybe people from around the world are ok we should thank you so much for giving us your insight on the upcoming talks between israel and palestinians mr courts there . and relentless terrorist violence continues to plague towns and cities across iraq a wave of over a dozen bombing says left at least sixty people dead and scores more injured baghdad took the brunt of the violence with over twenty people killed in mainly shia areas most of the assaults involve car bombs and there's been a recent spike in activity from terrorist groups including al qaida in the ingoing insurgency against iraq's shia led government july is becoming the deadliest month so far this year with over eight hundred in hand fatalities dr curry's who's interested in a national human rights lawyer and peace activist says watch a western backed government is incapable of restoring stability. taking iraq you have a much different phenomena than just ter

but we aren't in "the new jerusalem." we are fighting for jerusalem right now. i laughed at the title of this panel because this is like the crusades right now. we are fighting for a very democratic rights right now and part of that has to do with the church and if you don't believe that all i have to say is trayvon martin and you will understand and we will talk about that but one of the things that people in the black church need to understand is that the religious right playbook, they take your playbook from the civil rights movement. this is why they have so much power right now, at least they think they have power. temporal power and spiritual power are not the same thing. they are not the same thing. [applause] we do not wrestle with flesh and blood but against principalities and powers. i've been wrestling with principalities and powers this week from the right-wing and i want to look at this mic in saudi right now that i serve the god of abraham isaac and jacob. and that is the god we serve as black people but we

paul murphy and the jerusalem post chief political correspondent phil hartman the discussion showed us in some ways just how differently that is sides see the situation. primarily it's a reflection of pressure from below in europe where by many many people are saddled with what is in reality on go and complexity of the european union with the oppression of the hottest indians or on the one hand you have crocodile tears about the palestinians well fundamentally you have support including more me immediately for the israeli astonishment and so the pressure simply has become too much for the european commission aggressive is not what how it's happening here in the aggressive act is the expansion of settlements the robbing of public opinion home owners that's what an aggressive act is taking place here i do want to get back to you i mean do you think that this is a price that's worth for for israel to play and play in order to gain this territory look the fate of what will remain part of israel or what would become part of a palestinian state will be decided in negotiations one side or an

the other thing that is always difficult is jerusalem. that is a very encouraging thing. the other thing that is very important is, with a step down, there has been a negative reaction all over the western world to the possibility of the palestinians having any economic progress. it has been announced in the press that one of the major breakthroughs have been -- has been the israelis and americans and others are also dedicated to helping the palestinians survive, even if the israelis are cutting off their income from customs and so forth. this will put the israelis -- the palestinians back on the basis of being self-supporting during the troublesome time when they might make concessions not popular back home. i think those two things are the most important, for me. no one knows what will happen. it might be the first time and adjourned. i think there has been pressure from the palestinian people and from the israeli people to have a resolution of the issue. those with whom we meet regularly posing any sort of peace talks, my experience meeting with the leaders is that the

for more on that story is our jerusalem correspondent, tonya cramer. tonya, what kind of compromises will the two sides have to make. >> there are many different issues. we know of only about one israeli concession that has been made, and that is the release of palestinian prisoners, a step that was announced by the israeli minister. the other sticking points, and possible settlement freeze or the 1967 borders as a basis for starting the talks, i don't think the palestinians want to see. it is not clear what this will work out because the people involved in the talks are not elaborating on the details. >> what has been the reaction on the streets to the possible resumption of talks? >> i think on both sides, what i hear from people, people are very skeptical. most were taken by surprise that rightmanaged this through. depending on the political background, their reactions are different. israelis are on high alert. side, palestinian president abbas will have to work hard to convince people he is right to enter the talks. at the moment, they are trying t

the status of jerusalem, permanent borders and the fate of many refugees. they signed this oslo peace accords in the rose garden of the white house. the peace process has collapsed, been revived, collapsed, been revived and so on. the walls that separate the palestinians and israelis only grow higher. over the last 20 years the settler population in the west bank in east jerusalem has grown from 100,000 to more than half a million. israel has built a security barrier, the apartheid wall that snakes around towns and cities. a long and bloody uprising and two wars in gaza have left bitterness and hatred. they're skeptical about the process of a breakthrough but sees no other options to talks. >> i don't have hopes or disappointment. i've come to realize what is the at stake. left alone in the dark and living behind the slums. >> reporter: a timetable has yet to be set for negotiations. >> when you make peace you have to make every day about ten unpopular decisions. you need a lot of guts. >> reporter: veteran negotiator helped draft the oslo accords. he knows

joins me liveitz from jerusalem to talk more about this. he is the editor of the "times of israel." as i'm sure you know, there is a certain amount of skepticism about these talks and where they are going to lead. is there any reason to be optimistic about this latest round of talks? as you report, this is the first direct contact and almost three years. that is something. you are right about the skepticism. i should tell you on the israeli side, there is profound skepticism. there was a decision taken by the government yesterday to release more than 100 palestinian prisoners, him of whom had been convicted of large-scale acts of terrorism, the murder of many israelis. netanyahu push that through his rather reluctant cabinet. he said, i support the partnership towards the palestinian state as long as it is on terms that do not threaten the existence of israel, but there is a sense that his predecessor really offered palestinians everything they said they were seeking and he cannot get a deal. there is not a great deal of optimism on the israeli side, but some appreciation that they
