i want to go to jeffrey goldberg. he's outside the supermarket. you have been studying this issue of islamic radicalization across europe for some time. spent the last week there. >> yes, yes, no it's fairly remarkable day here. there is this -- without over overstating it a sense of siege in paris at the moment. i'm pretty close to the location and people around me are happy that the hostage situation ended. you see metro stations closed. soldiers on metro platforms. there is a sense of semisiege, which doesn't fit with most people's images of paris. it's interesting, george. i was at a jewish school this morning, right near this location. and, uh sorry, i have to get out of the way of police cars. sorry. the -- um -- if you can hear me hold on one second. the huge convoy of police moving toward the scene right now. i was at a jewish skulchool this morning. there was a huge expectation that the next attack would come on the jewish community in the matter of days or weeks. two hours later, this storming of the kosher supermarket. so in the jewish

dana and jeffrey goldberg national correspondent for the atlantic. also joined by michael crowley senior foreign affairs correspondent and cbs news political director john dickerson. michael, let me just start with you. this situation in yemen how could we not have seen this coming? >> well, bob there are so many moving parts in yemen. i'm sympathetic to administration trying to keep their arms around country that lot of experts describe as a failed state. for several years now we've been primarily worried about al qaeda franchise in yemen known as al qaeda in the peninsula. perhaps most dangerous terror group. they put the underwear bomber on a plane in 2009 inspired other near miss attacks had ties to the massacre in paris. we were focused on counter terror against aqap now this insurgency that has little to do with america has to do with internal tribal and sectarian dynamics in that country. and i think it just came faster and harder than we expected the government was more fragile than we expected. now those counter terror operations against al

i have great respect for jeffrey goldberg, but i see the glass as half-full. >> are you relatively surprised, surprised at the relatively small role president obama has played so far, and should he play a bigger role in rallying the western world and the civilized world against this? >> i thought that john kerry got an "a" yesterday for delivering forceful remarks in two languages and he is getting praised up and down in french society. apparently, he is the first person to deliver an address in france in french since franklin roosevelt. that's kind of a long time ago. i applaud him for doing that. i think eric holder going to france on the weekend, to paris specifically, is a very good move. we don't want to put an american face on the response necessarily, because that just enlarges the target. i don't mean just that we don't want to be hit, but we want to have a response that resonates with the needs of the french people at this point. obama has expressed solidarity with the french. he did that immediately. all of u.s. law enforcement resources are available and active in france. we have

define 2015's voice and discuss if it will be any different than 2014, we brought together jeffrey goldberg, helena andrews and evan mcmorris santoro. let's start with something we don't talk about too much on the program which is entertainment and really the consequences of the sony app we were talking about off camera. what do you think will be the giant repercussion? on the one side we saw how sony executives think and talk about their actors behind closed doors. on the other side, we launched a movie without having 3,000 theaters and didn't do so bad. >> i think the most interesting things about the sony hacks were e-mails of executives making fun of the president, should i ask him to finance, do you do you like django unchained, and other things. it's like a rollercoaster. we've gotten more diverse movies and tv shows, honestly, but you see on the back end that some of that old, like total discriminatory stuff behind the scenes is actually going on. so with sony backtracking we'll see what is interesting like, indy movies featuring diverse casts saying by the way, we're really not raci

>> richard haass, jeffrey goldberg, not exactly anti-israel. i mean this criticism is especially stinging i think coming from jeffrey who has been -- in my opinion, very fair towards israel when other journalists haven't been. >> it should be tough and it should be. it should be aimed at the prime minister of israel has behaved badly here. this is not something you should do. and the speaker of the house has behaved badly. foreign policy cannot be conducted through the prism of israeli domestic politics or american domestic politics. >> why did boehner do it? why is netanyahu doing it? >> it comes on the eve of the israeli elections. he sees it will help him. beating netanyahu i believe has made the strategic decision that the next two years relationship with the united states will do an end run around the white house. >> he's discounting it. >> gene robinson can you think of -- you've been in washington and around the world a very long time. can you think of another example of something like this happening? >> absolutely not. i mean this is re

we read earlier jeffrey goldberg europe under siege. it's a monument to post world war ii continental ideas of tolerance, free speech and openness. all of these notions seem to be under attack at once. jeff goldberg says europe is under siege. talk about that. talk about yesterday and talk about the challenge all across europe. >> look you know the issue has been brewing for a long time long before this particular attack, and i think we have to be just as worried about the reaction to the attack from nationalists, from right-wingers, from people who have sought to drive this wedge as it was described earlier between the islamic communities and the mainstream communities in europe because that's the tinder that could spark a fire that could go far, far beyond anything in these attacks. even listening to the conversation here it's very important that we recognize the value of restraint in response to these things. these are terrifying horrifying attacks but they are conducted by just a few people. they are conducted by people who are radi

joining me now is jeffrey goldberg. always good to see you, my friend. >> good to be here. >> tell me a little bit about what your feelings are in terms of concern for europe generally when it comes to the issue of religious tolerance. obviously the events of last week were a terrible moment for the community, for the continent, but -- >> the muslim community in france feels generally speaking -- again generally, aggrieved. there's a colonial history. there's poverty. there's a whole set of issues. however within that muslim community are people who are victimizing, quite obviously, another religious minority community, the jews who have been victimized by the same group of people who have victimized the muslims. it's a very complicated and it is paralyzing to people. you have muslims who are victims of a society. you have jews who are victims of society. jews who are victims of muslims. it is a very complicated and dangerous mix. >> you talk about historical precedent. it sounds like the anti-muslim camp and the anti-j

journalist jeffrey goldberg wrote that prime minister netanyahu is alienating many elected democrats. one jewish member of congress told me, that's goldberg speaking, that he felt humiliated and angered by netanyahu's ploy to address congress behind the president's back. an official texted him over the weekend to say that the damage that netanyahu is doing to israel's relationship with the u.s. may be irreparable. >> last night i was at an event and spoke with democratic senators. you know, while this is going on, aipac -- >> i got there later. >> a lot of them were gone. but while this is going on, aipac is trying to run up support for a bill that would impose sanctions before obama finishes negotiations. >> he wants to get a deal with iran by the extended deadline in june. now i read something that said march. >> they were trying to get them to pass the bill in the next couple of weeks and senators, including menendez, said no to aipac. they said we senators are fed up with this coming at the time of the netanyahu booing of the president. >> the ranking member of the foreign relatio

. >>> i'm joined by tina brown and jeffrey goldberg national correspondent for "the atlantic." this is pretty extraordinary. tina the pope saying you can't be that provocative, that's an insult. >> he's so extraordinary, this pope, he is an amazing combination of the spiritual and visceral which is really what makes him a powerful new presence on the global scene. i think what he said was correct, you cannot expect not to have a reaction if you insult somebody's faith there will be a reaction. what i'm surprised about is he didn't talk about the degree of the reaction. it's one thing to perhaps demonstrate or protest or express your disfavor it's another thing to take a -- and gun down everybody who said it. i think a second round from the pope where he makes it clear he presumably doesn't endorse the notion of the quality of this reaction and how it took place. >> and there is already backlash from the muslim community in paris. you just returned from there. bill neely spoke to several in the muslim community. let's watch what they had to say. >> more provocation, why are you

. >> our friend jeffrey goldberg tweeted and he is very deeply connected with the jewish community and and tweeted for the first time since world war ii the largest synagogue will not be holding sabbath services friday night and saturday. there is real fear in the jewish community. bill if we can set the stage, we mentioned the large muslim community and this goes back to french connections and northern africa and algeria in the 70s and 80s, but in recent years, there is greater tension and a lot of recruitment from europe and france and from spain and great britain. no longer to pakistan and the main al qaeda, but through yemen and syria. that has been a training ground. we know a training ground for at least one of these brothers. it let to tensions with the jewish community and an exodus of well to do french men and women who have been buying property in tel aviv as a hedge. that historic concern about not being in their homeland. bill? >> yes, that's right. i think the israeli authorities said just recently that the biggest group of immigrants in the last year were actually from fr

"the atlantic's" jeffrey goldberg was in paris last week before the attacks happened reporting on the growing threats to the country's jewish community. jeffery, welcome. >> brown: thank you. >> ifill: are these specific new threats or something that's just been continuing? >> brown: the french-jewish community has been living a certain reality for quite a long time, already. two years ago there was an horrific attack on a jewish school in toulouse three children murdered by a returning jihadist. this is in the category of shocking but not surprising. the rest of france is sort of coming on board to the realization of what's going on. >> ifill: these attacks last week in paris put it into a new light. >> brown: definitely and definitely increased the urgency. i think it was the amplification effect of having the horrific charlie hebdo attack and then realizing another type of first-tier target for these guys would be any kind of soft jewish site. a supermarket is very seas to attack. one of the reasons a supermarket like that was attacked was synagogues and schools are already protect

and joining us from paris jeffrey goldberg. jeffrey, bring us up to date in terms of the big picture here. >> reporter: i'm getting the news that you're getting about this kosher grocery store shooting at the same time. if this is actually happening it is part of a larger pattern. the "charlie hebdo" massacre was not the first massacre by terrorists in transin the last couple of years. there was the shooting deaths of three children and an adult at a jewish school. you know these jihadists are targeting various aspects of the french public jewish minority journalism the general public. i'm always hesitant as a reporter to tell you what the mood of an entire country is. but it does seem as if this is a shock in some ways to france over the last couple of days. on par in some ways with the shock that americans felt with 9/11 that the spanish felt spain felt after the train attacks, london after the bus attacks, you remember. it does feel like if you will but, again, not a new, not a new phenomenon. we had last month three car att

steven goldberg los angeles, mr. o'reilly, i was surprised you didn't give shelden silver the presumption of innocence. labelling him the most venomous man in new york. i have watched him for more than 30 years. mr. goldberg, in my opinion he is a corrupt guy who used his powers to prevent good policies and enriched himself in the process. i am paid to give my opinion and i gave it. steve edmonds, florida, do you think she will go after him for tax evasion? not confident she will. o'reilly, i'm getting ticked with your demeanor, i watched the jon stewart interview and jon laid back and let him talk. if you want laid back, christina, i don't think you're in the right place here. dutch green pioneer california killing lincoln is on the read for the eighth grade. if he is a good reader he will like the action, in a few weeks the book on world war ii will be released. i think he can handle the big book. and in fact, tom brady told the world he didn't have anything to do with the deflating of the footballs in the playoffs
