8:18 am
declared victory on tuesday night but there can only be one prime minister things seem to be clearer now and it seems that it is benjamin netanyahu is best placed to form the next government we've come to the streets of west jerusalem to figure out how people feel about this a lot of issues that have come up a lot of it around where the we need to have. a ceiling on how many. sessions a prime minister can be in power if you recall of that. so there's a whole of questions that have come out which of course haven't actually been spoken about is five terms too much. so both of a machine at the end of the day would be could pony has done. has been in prison for us and we need to give him credit for that one million people who vote for guns what good comes out the feet for us nothing will or how of the voters as we are like you know it's the same it's these was the. only chance that something am truly
8:19 am
happy saying the future of the future where what he did was change everything why did i vote for be because i don't really believe anybody out of like what was available that was better than the view from his background and what he can do. and that's pretty much why i voted b.b. and my hope is that. force them to form a national unity government and with that would. be told so mixed feelings about the likelihood that it will be benjamin netanyahu will once again become prime minister serving his fifth term that will be the longest serving prime minister in the history of the state of israel but it's going to still be some weeks until israelis figure out what exact shape this government is going to take. as president past congratulated the israeli prime minister on the election result the fact that everyone i think will see some pretty good action there germs
8:20 am
a peace that everyone said and i never made a promise. but everybody said you can't have peace in the middle east with israel and the palestinians i think we have it and i think we have now a better chance with bibi having won trump and netanyahu have established a close relationship the israeli leader made that a centerpiece of his campaign but and the process israel has become an increasingly partisan issue in u.s. politics more on that speak to middle east analyst phyllis bennis in washington d.c. via skype his direct director of the new internationalism project at the for policy studies we appreciate your time very much so do you agree with that that the topic the issue of israel and policy regarding israel has become much more reparse an issue. the move towards becoming more partisan has actually been going on for several years now we saw it come to a head in twenty sixteen in the very different ways that the republicans and the democrats dealt with the question of israel palestine in their campaigning and in
8:21 am
their their candidate conferences but i think that in the last year or so we have seen an even more rapid shift in the public discourse in the media discourse and now in the political discourse in washington and that includes this sense that increasingly support for israel is becoming a thoroughly republican right wing issue what's driving the whole. sorry what's driving that. well it's partly the actions of israel the repression against palestinians has become not only worse on the ground if you look at gaza where people are being shot by israeli snipers on a weekly basis overwhelmingly nonviolent protesters being mowed down by israeli snipers every friday every friday it's shocking we're seeing more of that activity partly because of changes in the media landscape the rise of social media that
8:22 am
makes excessive all evidence of this kind of behavior by the israelis against the palestinians to a much wider range of people this shift of policy within the jewish community where young jews are growing up with far broader choices than i ever had as a young jew growing up in california where now there is a left or right and a center within the jewish community all of that is playing a part in pushing the issue of support for israel far to the right reflecting also the the right word move within israel and that means moving towards the republicans the other side of it is that within the democratic party right now you have this new cohort of very exciting young women of color including muslims including one palestinian a somali refugee who are all saying that the understanding that for so long was unchallengeable in washington you must support israel that's
8:23 am
a given that's no longer the case we have people who are supporting the boycott movement who are supporting palestinian rights and who are not afraid they're not afraid of antagonizing a pastor they're not afraid of antagonizing koofi and that's what we're seeing on the ground right now and those that those democrats that you just described those are generally the more progressive wing of the party have you noticed a different tone and the way more traditional mainstream democrats talk about israel. absolute. it's not absolute yet it's not everywhere it's not all of them but if you look for example at this last apac convention the biggest component of the pro israel lobby that works within the jewish community unlike koofi that works among the christian communities the apac convention every year was assumed to be a must show for anyone running for president in the united states well this year out of fourteen. current candidates for the democratic party eight of them said i'm
8:24 am
not going i'm not showing up and the sky didn't fall there were no enormous consequences as a result of that decision it was taken as a matter of course we are moving towards a situation where there will be a political price to pay for any politician any candidate who does not emerge in support of palestinian rights in some form we saw it when the congresswoman ileana omar was falsely accused of anti semitism and the initial response from mainstream democrats was to follow the demands of parts of the pro israel lobby the a.d.l. apac and others who were demanding that they immediately pass a resolution that would be visibly seen as condemning her and that was the instinct as soon as they were provided with the actual transcript of what she actually said which was not anti-semitic there were outside pressure groups for the first time the black caucus and the progressive caucus of congress moved to put pressure on
8:25 am
the speaker's office and within forty eight hours there had been a complete reversal so that the resolution that was finally passed in response was a wide ranging condemnation of anti semitism in the context of white supremacy condemnation of racism condemnation of islamophobia condemnation of a whole range of hatreds that are all rooted in racism and white supremacy that's a huge shift among the mainstream of the democratic party right the conversation certainly does seem to be shifting best joining us from washington d.c. thank you very much thank you. so dan's president is under increasing pressure as western nations are calling for a serious response to protesters demand for political change on tuesday protesters held a fifth straight day the sit in outside the army headquarters that continued into the night so dan's information minister says eleven people were killed during
