spend my book is an intimate on the ground portrait of israel society in israel-palestine, the single state under a one discriminatory regime. at the culmination of a transitional phase that began after the crushing of the second at the thought of with a device of what israeli planners call, separation, and there's the residences of apartheid which the remains separatist. this is manifested in the separation wall which cuts deep into the west bank which was built in the words of netanyahu different demographic spillover that is manifest in the siege of gaza and has manifested inside israel as i'm going to discuss but also led to a psychological transition in italy society and political transition which resulted in what, what seems to be a permanent right wing majority, least permanent right wing dominance over the key institutions of israeli life.

this week, the israeli democracy institute tug and pull and the majority of jewish israelis declared that they wish to end the special relationship with the united states and find new allies. at the same time 70% of jewish is ready declared that they don't israel will find new allies. in other words, israel should simply go it alone. the working title from the book which i propose was, referring to the second a.d., second century a.d. roman era fortress where a band of jewish fanatics committed mass suicide, and my editors impose his power, "goliath" on me. but i think that's a look at development in the past few weeks the first title might've been more appropriate. so my book begins in the gaza strip, or in and around the gaza strip. and right now i think it's important to mention that while israel celebrates the festival

of flying, gaza strip is plunged into darkness and this one powerpoint is unable to function which has been the case for about a month and it's because israel's siege the u.s. supported israeli siege on the gaza strip. this transitional face i mentioned culminate with the attack and gaza strip in 2008-2000 which over 1400 residents of the gaza strip, mostly civilians according to the israeli human rights group, were killed. over 300 women and children were killed, most children according to them. developments were taking place in israel at this time. it was a national election under way. sidney libby who is the current peace negotiator for the israeli government who was then foreign minister and was running for prime minister was trying to capture the mood of israel society declared our troops

behaved like hooligans in the gaza strip during this operation, which i demanded of them. israelis had gathered, described as the hill of chain. they gather to cheer on the attack as americans get at the battle of the masses. one woman was filled declaring to a danish tv crew, they should lift the whole thing off the map. yeah, i'm a bit fascist. these proclamations working in populated of 95% of jewish israeli public in the first week of cast lead declared their support. and high schools in israel during this assault, mock elections were held and the party that won by an ongoing majority was the party of -- lieberman want to begin third largest amount of votes and becoming the foreign minister, israel's top diplomat. lieberman was just cleared of ties, cleared of the first

charges relating to his mafia ties by the way, and some people were not able to testify against him because they mysteriously disappeared and now he has reemerged as one of the most popular politicians in israel. but we are in 2009 stood the lieberman campaign on a very simple platform. he ran ads over and over declaring no loyalty, no citizenship. in other words, if you fail to declare loyalty to the jewish state, to the jewish state, you will be stripped of your citizenship rights. disappointed the 20% of the israeli public who were non-jews, or palestinian citizens in israel. and these laws, and lieberman moved to fulfill his promise as he entered the knesset, as his party entered the knesset as the third lord cheshire largest party. with support from benjamin netanyahu and from micro brought who supported an initiative
