9:11 pm
mobile messaging app and it's strongly encrypted we can't break that. people feel there is some way the fbi can break that encryption we do not. that is why this is an important issue. >> encryption is an important tool for individuals to protect their personal private data and they say the government should never have a master key. >> if there is a legal requirement from a law enforcement agency to access any of the individual user's data it is not something that is granted by definition. it goes through a very thorough leg process review before we would grant access. >> but the obama administration insists it's not seeking a back door into encryption software. that's a highly controversy idea adamantly opposed by many prominent experts in the tech community who say undermining encryption would only make cyber security worse and prove a

9:18 pm
goals for what it called operation protective edge. first, was to stop the rockets which were being fired into israel by armed groups from gaza. the second was to destroy gaza's network of tunnels. efraim khan is a diplomat. >> war keeping civilians many syrians without any do you believe. tens of thousands of civilians in the gaza strip lost their home had to find some solution during the cold winter there until now only a few houses were rebuilt. it is a major problem that we don't like we didn't want it but we had no other choice.

9:25 pm
anan anonymous source, that they might be willing to release the school girls in exchange for prisoners held by the government. we heard reports of these offers before during the presidency of goodluck jonathan. there is no organized structure to negotiate with as of now. last year negotiation is were headed by a man claiming to represent the group who later turned out to be a farce. so there's little hope right now at least in the current format and context of these girls being brought home by negotiations. >> even if there were someone to negotiate with and a presidential advisor has said the government would be willing to talk does the president really want to? because buhari, there was an attempted assassination by boko haram on buhari, he campaigned saying he was going to destroy this group.
9:26 pm
>> buhari exainld and campaigned and was elected largely on his plans to destroy this group. i don't think anyone could blame him for unwillingness to negotiate with boko haram. nigeria after all is a country where kidnapping is endemic and many families have to negotiate releases of their relatives every day but is he a former military pan. like you said, boko haram actually tried to assassinate the president last year and his strategy or the strategy that he's proposed so far is one of very conventional warfare approach. >> right, now there's going to be a whole regional army that's going to fight boko haram. do you think that's going to be affected? >> it could be and might be the best hope going forward. there has been a 98 nascent

9:28 pm
forming his government that they're exploiting or taking advantage of for the purpose of negotiation. but there are three at least ream reasons why we see the sudden escalation. why there's a new president in town and they want to hit him hard before he can stand up. two, they've adapted their strategy to the conventional counterinsurgency techniques of the government to retreat from holding territory towards more asymmetric warfare that relies on sleeper terror cells more in the model of al qaeda. and the ramadan month of bloodshed, i.s.i.l. has called upon and in nigeria where you actually have a terrorist group that has formally pledged formally

antibds legislation. president obama recently signed 52 law. >> peace when do we want it now. >> but supporters say such move only legitimize their cause. >> there's a gandhi statement that says, first they ignore you then they fight you. then you win. it feels like we're in the third phase. >> a jewish organization advocating for peace in the middle east. rabbi very good to have you with us. i understand all jews do not speak with one voice but why do you support a movement that could hurt israel? >> thank you so much for having me this evening. well, so what i would say is that just a little about myself. when i was growing up i was a
9:38 pm
teenage are, i thought i wanted to move to israel and join the israeli army and any criticism of israel i took as kind of a personal attack. but slowly i started to learn about palestinians. i've learned that there are palestinians living in the land before the zionist set lers came and i learned about the occupation in 1948 and around that time i started to apply some of the jewish values that i learned from my family, from my community, from the jewish community. i started to apply them to what i was seeing and what i was learning about. so one of those values is love your neighbor as yourself. if we look at what happened just a year ago in gaza when there were over 2,000 palestinians killed over 500 children. so i asked myself what does it mean to apply that value? and i would say first of all love your neighbor as yourself, you have to love yourself and say i do, i love myself, saying
9:39 pm
this injustice must stop. in terms of loving your neighbor i think what that means is standing up for palestinian human rights for justice and equality. and that is what boycott investment are doing. >> i know you've also said that it's in the best interest of the israelis. if that is the case why is it so opposed by israelis israeli government and most of itsthe united states? >> yeah, i would say that i think that that is very short sighted. i think that unfortunately people are kind of coming from a place of fear. but i would say that the only thing that's going to bring about real safety and security for palestinians, and for israelis is justice and equality for both palestinians and israelis. >> now hillary clinton recent spoke out against the bds movement and i can't imagine that any of the republican
9:40 pm
candidates support it. congress inserted antibds language in legislation. doesn't look like it's getting any traction in the u.s. without that, can your movement have much of an effect? >> it's interesting. what i would say about it is yes, there's movement coming from the prime minister netanyahu, from israel, and right wing forces in the united states institutions, some politicians even as you mentioned who are attacking and trying to demonize the boycott and divestment movement which is work for equality and human rights. what i would say about that is it's increasingly out of touch where the general american public is and especially where democrats are in this country. if you look at the polling one of the things you see about democrats in particular is that many democrats especially young people people of color are increasingly becoming critical
9:41 pm
of israeli policies and what they -- >> the truth is there isn't much of an arab boycott on israel anymore. there are huge american businesses that do business in israel. i know the boycotts and die he vest imcampaign behind bring about the end of apartheid. >> just like israel where it took decades and decades for those tactics for that movement to grow and for it actually to have an impact i would say that the same thing is happening here. that the movement is growing as you mentioned earlier in the program, ucc, united nations church of christ, voted 80% overwhelmingly to divest from companies, be we have grown from 140,000 members and supporters to 200,000. we have grown from 40 chapters
