when they grabbed hold of me and in a totally nonjudgmental way essentially -- god's happy to have you, here you go. oh, man. my treachery is complete. just because i was raised outside the faith with no particular attachment or loyalty to israel doesn't mean that plenty of people on this earth don't hate me in principle. i know that. but the state of israel, i never really knew what to think. first look around, it's like everybody says -- it's pretty. it's awesome. it's urban. sophisticated. hip. like southern california. only nicer. then you see the undraftees in the streets and you start to get the idea. this is jerusalem. >> i'm taking you through damascus gate, which is one of the gates to the old city. these walls are pretty ancient.

people say they go back to king david. as history progressed, they built up the wall. so the top bed is the newest. >> and by newest you mean -- >> up to about the ottoman time. the turks left here about 150 years ago. and the brits came and they conquered us. i'm don lemon in new york. it's sunday morning on the east coast and members of congress are voting right now on a new spending bill that would delay obamacare by a year. we want to get to dana bash. what's going on? >> the house just passed the first amendment that does change this spending bill and it adds a repeal of a medical device tax that's specifically put in there to help pay for obamacare. the point that republicans tried to make in doing this is they

don't like this tax but they are determined to change the president's signature law, obamacare, before passing any bill to fund the government even though the government will run out of money at midnight on monday night. it's up to 233 votes. needed 217 to pass. this is the first of two obamacare related measures that we're going to see the house pass. the second one will be to delay it altogether for one year. this is a nonstarter for the senate which is run by democrats and also for the president who already issued a veto threat on this. >> this is the first of two. this will take how much longer. the one after that is a five-minute vote but it's not a true five minutes because they can't stop the clock from time to time. >> that's right. all of the members of the house are all on the floor. you can see on the screen 34 have not voted.

this will end relatively soon and you'll see a quick vote. if you look down here 16 democrats broke ranks and did vote with republicans. it's not a lot considering the fact there are over 200 democrats in the house but a big part of the reason that republicans thought they were clever in choosing this particular obamacare issue to put on the spending bill is because it is one of more controversial taxes. you've seen democrats and republicans speak out against it. particularly democrats who come from districts or state that have medical device manufacturers and want to be true to those interests. republicans have pointed out over p and over the entire day, the entire day saying that many democrats in the senate are already on record voting for this repeal. that's why they're trying to put democrats there in a box but we're being told they feel they will keep all of members,

senators in line. one other thing i wanted to point out is that tomorrow is sunday and the senate is not going to come in. we're told they're not going to come in until the time they are scheduled to return to session and that's monday afternoon. that will just be a few hours before the government is set to shutdown. it could be stalemate. >> you said this is a nonstarter when it comes to the senate because harry reid is saying it's not going to happen. the president is saying i'm going to veto it. the question is if the government does shutdown come fuse tuesday or midnight monday obamacare still goes into effect and all of this is for naught. >> all is for naught if you're not a republican who believes that you're standing up for principle or if you're a republican who, as you and i have been talking to all night, republican who believes they have given here because they're

first try was completely defunding obamacare and now they are chipping away at it in different ways and they want to president to negotiate. that's their line and they will keep sticking to it. they want the president to come to the table. he's not going to do it. i haven't talked to anybody who don't think it's a very big possibility. >> i'm looking at the tally as well. it's now 17 democrat who is have broken rank. it's a nonstarter when it comes to the senate. do you think they may get some democrats on board judging from what's happening in the house? >> that's the republican hope. democratic sources insist they have checked with their members and say they will be fine. >> all right. thank you. dana bash standing by in washington. stay with cnn for the latest from washington and watch "new day."

construction on a wall along the green line representing the israeli-palestinian border. the wall now stretches 450 miles. when completed, it will span 700 miles. 85% of it in palestinian territory. on one hand, there's no doubt that the number of suicide bombings fell drastically. on the other, there's this. you cross from jerusalem into the west bank. also called judea, sumaria, also called palestine. since 1967, half a million settlers have moved here, all in contravention of international law. many in contravention of israeli law. though it seems to make little difference. they're here and in ever-larger

numbers. this is one of our drivers from tel aviv who i asked about the graffiti on this house near the settlements. so what is price tagging? >> something happens in a settlement or some attack with jews, kids from the settlement would come and have a price tag for every activity. so they come to a village like this, they will destroy cars, they will write on walls like this. it says against arabs, the state of israel is alive, and death to the arabs. >> intimidating. i mean, you put two targets on my house, i'm moving. this is ellie, a settlement with a population of over 3,000, relatively isolated from the rest of israel. this is the chief executive of

the settlement and its former head of security. >> here you see from up above most of our town. you see the palestinian villages all around. >> it's an unusual situation. a lot of your neighbors would very much like you to not be here. >> i know most of them. and most of them, they are happy that we're here. because we -- actually we gave them prosperity for the first 45 years. wherever the plo came, they lost it. >> i'm guessing a lot of people would disagree with that statement. >> hi tech security. radars and cameras. >> so from the high ground, you can see anybody walking at night. you could see from pretty far out. >> definitely. >> could you identify them after the fact? >> depends.

>> so your parents brought you over at age 4? >> yeah. >> parents in their 20s with kids living in the relative comfort and familiarity of pennsylvania. heading off to what must have, at least in part of their mind, would seem an uncertain. >> yes. it was very difficult for them. almost all jews say next year, it's part of prayers that we say all the time. >> the bible, it's all right there. it all happened here. that's sort of a nonnegotiable position. >> you see prophesies coming true. things coming to life. mountains that nobody wanted to live on, nobody dared to -- for thousands of years, nobody wanted this place. and then finally, we come here

and everything is flourishing again. it makes you feel good, you know? >> you've been here since '90. you look over the edge there, an arab village. how far away? >> yeah. there is one that you can see from here. >> at any point during that time, you ever go to anybody's house, sit down and eat? >> not there, but in other villages. >> ever sat down at a muslim table? >> muslim table -- >> you host and everybody else -- >> coffee. >> but not there. >> no, because as a religious jew, i eat only kosher. so they respect that. so they don't offer me. >> so i've got to ask you about something that troubled me. coming up, the first house before you come up the drive to this village, the graffiti on the front -- >> yes. >> the targets spray painted on. >> yes. >> whodunit? >> villains.

they don't like their daughters to be between men racing, you know. palestine is a very reserved society. >> so are things getting better? staying the same, or worse? >> you never know what's going to happen in palestine. one day it's good and the other day it's just -- you never know. it's a crazy country. >> the local police would prefer them off the streets for obvious reasons. but the track here, such as it is, has its drawbacks. it's basically a parking lot across from the detention center. what do they think about this next door? do they ever give you problems? >> this is an israeli jail. one time we were here with speed sisters and there was problems because of the prisoners. so i just stopped my car over there and i was walking. i wanted to see what's going on. and the israeli soldiers, they

came running at me and they start shooting at me. and i got shot in the back. it was tear gas. >> the canister hit you? >> yeah. so my speed sisters, they took me to the hospital. i fainted. >> have you thought of challenging the israelis to put up a team? >> i can't race because my car is palestinian. >> what if they come over here? >> they're not allowed to enter the west bank and we're not allowed to go to jerusalem, so how can we race together? >> silly question. america... ish. that's a map. that's a map of the united states. check the map. verizon's 4g lte is the most reliable and in more places than any other 4g network. trade in your old device and trade up to america's most reliable network. i've got the good one!

it's right there for all to see. and it feels like something out of a science fiction film. this is the wall. from the other side, from inside this place, for instance, the refugee camp in the district of bethlehem, it doesn't feel like anything other than what it is, a prison. abed is the founder of the children's theatre center. >> so we are at the north entrance of bethlehem, heading to the refugee camp. >> so this has been here since 1950. >> yes. it started with tents.

people were under the tents for about seven years. and later on, the u.n. saw that it was not temporary as it was supposed to be. so they started building what they called shelters. >> first impressions of the camp, there's a remarkable number of kids. >> now it's about 6,000 people. and 2/3 are under 18 years old. so it's a very young population. unfortunately, with the continuing degradation of the political and economic situation, we are in the

situation where we have no playgrounds or green spaces any more. >> children play in the streets beneath walls covered in images of martyrs, plane hijackers, political prisoners. 6,000 people, of that number, 66% are under the age of 18. i don't care where that is in the world, that's pretty much a recipe for unruly behavior, i think would be the best. >> well, yes. especially when you don't have any possibilities to evacuate the anger and the stress in a creative way. so after i finished my studies, i came back here and i started using theatre as one of the most amazing, powerful, civilized and nonviolent means to express yourself. to tell your story. to be truthful. and this is for me the remedy to build peace within. and hopefully help them to think that they can grow up and change the world and create miracles. without need to carry a gun and shoot everybody else and explode themselves, but to stay alive. >> abed takes me to the martyrs quarter to be fed. she runs a women's collective teaching palestinian cooking classes, helping her provide for six children, one of whom is disabled. in america, kids grow up with pop stars, sports players.

her kitchen by a sniper. but when these political parties take this woman and want to make a montage of photos with her carrying a gun to say this is the hero who liberated the palestine. sorry. this is not the truth. this woman was killed in her house. we will go today and ask the palestinians who is the great evil? you ask these kids, who will they recognize? they recognize a man from gaza, mohamed assa, a singer who sings. he becomes more famous than arafat and everybody else. this is another image of these times. ♪ >> you can almost believe for a minute or two that some kind of peace, some kind of

getting in and out of gaza from israel is truly one of the most surreal travel experiences you could have on earth. over 1.5 million people live in gaza. most of them considered refugees. meaning they're not from the place they're compelled to live now. in most cases, they're either prohibited from or unable to leave. israel decides who comes and goes. what gets in and what stays out.

apart from journalists, aid workers, emergency responders, very few people are allowed to cross into gaza. in 2005, the israeli defense forces left the gaza strip and all israeli settlers were removed. now inside gaza, hamas is in charge. considered a terrorist organization by both the united states and israel, they got elected in 2006. this is laila hadan, a native gazan, journalist and author of "the gaza kitchen." >> the catches are not as big as they used to be and that's primarily because the fishermen can't go beyond three or fix nautical miles. >> if you go beyond, what happens? >> they'll shoot at the fishermen, destroy their boats, cut their fishing nets, they'll detain them. it's obviously really risky business. nine nautical miles, that's

where that deep sea channel is where you're going to get the really good catches. gaza is the last palestinian area with access to the coast. that's really important to remember. you have the west bank just an hour away, but many of the palestinians there have never seen the sea, have never been to the sea. >> the family owns a small farm in the eastern gaza strip. she and her husband are unusual in that they cook together. this is not typical in this part of the world or in this culture. they use their own fresh-killed chickens to make the gazan classic. the traditional palestinian dish comprised of layers of fried eggplant, tomato, potatoes, caramelized onions, and check up sauteed then simmered in a broth with nutmeg, cinnamon, cardimum, and rice. it's a big family. children, grandchildren all living under the same roof, and

it can get chaotic. so let's talk about food and eat food. it's just sitting here. tell me what do we have here? >> yeah, yeah, sure. >> this is called mahmouba. traditionally lamb, in this case chicken. [ speaking foreign language ]. they're very concerned that we're being very rude. we're not allowing the others to eat. he says how can you be eating and you -- >> wow. >> for me, being from gaza, being a child of diaspara, i always thought food was an interesting way to tell the palestinian story. being able to discover this lost history, this palestinian past. plus, the food is really dang

good. >> that it is. >> i think it was also important to be able to provide palestinians an image of themselves that they recognize, a very humane image, because all they're seeing in the media, whether here or there, whether on arabic channels or abroad, you know, is this kind of very caricatured images of gunned men and wailing women and this grim cinder block landscape. you're not entering into the private homes. what does a kitchen look like, or what does a family you see here. do you like it, she's asking? >> absolutely delicious. really, really good. [ speaking foreign language ]. >> yeah? she wants you to open a restaurant for her. >> keep cooking like this. it's really delicious. >> gaza has three distinctive culinary heritage. those who hail from villages that were either depopulated or destroyed in 1948. and they constitute about 75% of

the population of gaza. and they kind of bring with them their own distinct cuisine. that's very different from the cuisine of the city, gaza city, which tends to use much more heat, much more chili peppers, from the cuisine of the coast, which is rich with seafood, of course, and a very sophisticated, very urbane cuisine. >> i guess the first question would be, in your lifetime, will you be able to visit yahba?

it's usually something that's made specifically by men, i was told here. so they begin by -- you can see over there, roasting the baby watermelons. they cover them with aluminum foil. they put them through a wire, kind of like a rustic skewer. and then they just throw them in there. and the idea is that they take the pulp out, so that's what's going on. and then what they do while that's fire roasting is they knead an unleavened dough over there with whole wheat, barley, plenty of rich, extra virgin olive oil. and then they throw that into the pit as well, or they dig a pit in the sand over there. >> right in the coals? >> yep. and they mix that all together. so it's interesting.

because right now, we're about, what, 35 minutes away from gaza city. ask anyone in gaza city if they've heard of this dish and, no. so even in an area as small as gaza, you see this very wide variation. they're going to clean it up. ♪ ountry or my ethnicity, i'm guessing. but there's that hospitality thing. anywhere you go in the muslim world, it seems. no matter what, you feed your guests, you do your best to make them feel at home. >> we have to eat.

>> after the death of my daughter, i just start to talk, to whom? to people who want to listen. i know that my daughter was killed for no reason and i know that people on the other side have been killed for no reason. childrens, old people. i have been a soldier in gaza. i saw very poor people. i know there is interest in keeping these poor people. you can go far, far, but the bottom line is, let's stop with the suffering. >> you know, i went to this settlement community. >> nice people.

>> and i said to you, you know, they were nice. and you said, you said, you said, they're all nice. >> they're all nice. i know, nice, very nice palestinian people. >> they're all nice, but if you scratch, if you push, they all want -- they'll all say, throw them in the sea. >> most of the people, they don't talk. they are very upset. they are fed up. and the same goes from the other side to us. you have to find the right people on both village, also on the down, also on the up, and maybe they talk. and i am sure that is possible. >> the opportunities to do that here are very, very, very limited, it seems. >> i agree. >> and i mean, one doesn't even have to speak metaphorically, because there is an actual wall. >> that is a wall. >> or a fence, depending on who you're talking to. >> fence or wall. no, it's a big wall. it's ugly.

it's really ugly. you can see it, it's not far away from here. [ singing in spanish ]
