condemning the forced expulsions off palestinian families from their homes we are bearing witness to agree just human rights violations the pain trauma and terror the palestinians are facing is not just a result of this week's escalation but the consequence of years of military occupation in shake your rub the israeli government is violently dispossessing yet another neighborhood of palestinian families from homes they have lived in for decades we cannot stand idly complicity by and allow the occupation and oppression of the palestinian people to continue harrelson is a washington post columnist and senior fellow of the ethics and public policy center he says the u.s. president stomps on the conflict is intentionally weak. i think he's trying to do exactly what i would expect which is to offer some degree of private reassure and in the case of 2 congressmen clearly public reassurance that he understands their concerns while not doing so much to pressure israel that he bankers the people who
5:11 am
support israel in his party it's a very difficult row who threw him to rome this too sorry are actually mutually incompatible you can't support israel in its battle with the palestinians or without not supporting the palestinians in their battle with against the israelis and brightens trying to do exactly what i expect he would do which is to offer each side a little bit and hope that they will turn the pressure up on him the israeli public is decidedly to the right of where the democratic party is in the united states whether it is gideon so far or whether it's spending and then the on who are now taliban that it is highly likely that the next semester of israel is going to be somebody of the nationalist religious right and they will take a view towards israeli sovereignty over the west bank that is dramatically in odds with where the majority of democrats be and so i would expect biden to be moving

5:13 am
ration jerusalem sold is ongoing relentlessly the israeli enemy is betting on the factor of time and how many losses they think they can inflict upon us but it's a losing bet because the resistance in gaza is ready for a long battle and on all fronts with the grace of god when the israeli enemy keeps targeting the women and children it is clear that they have failed and they cannot achieve much when it comes to their so called bank of targets also let me make it clear there is no free truce and that any talk about truce must be with its jews and condition this is ready and the patient will not enjoy security unless the palestinian people enjoy the same the same goes for our beloved al aksa still to come here on al-jazeera why so many journalists have lost their lives covering india's covert crisis everything could drive into the future to find out who will be the what is new losers of the electric car boom.
