in cities across israel it's reported to be the largest anti-government rally in the history of the jewish state but protesters are angered by the high cost of living and the government's handling of social issues archies of course there is following the latest developments in tel aviv tonight as the climax of nearly two months of social protests here in israel the launches that this country has ever seen now four weeks old and eyes as have been dubbing tonight the million man march they were really hoping that a million people would turn out on the streets of israel so far though we would be hearing figures of some three hundred and fifty thousand that's three hundred fifty thousand in ten cities way here in tel aviv is the main focal point now for similar hours various speakers as well as artists have been addressing the crowd the rallying call remains that of social justice which people here are demanding that the netanyahu government change its focus away from issues of security to issues of social justice the people here saying that it is simply too expensive to live in israel and here to instead of concentrating on domestic problems israeli prime

minister benjamin netanyahu has been focused on the international stage on september the twenty the palestinians will go to the united nations to declare a state and it in yahoo has responded by arming sitters and trying to convince countries not to support the palestinian move instead of listening to the discount old messes at home not one of the new slogan say hearing tonight is where we use the pain but good there is a further back to november the fourth one thousand nine hundred ninety five when the former israeli prime minister yitzhak rabin was assassinated people say where were you then so of course people here are saying where are you now with people really wanting to come to the streets and make a change and make their voices heard this is the last social protest that is being planned for some time although the vibe here is quite hyped up to be no doubt is some disappointment that meat million man march was not reached out his post we're reporting there from tel aviv now israel also faces another challenge. simply lead

fragile and reversible gains made by the armed forces but archie's military contributor thinks it's about time the pentagon cut its cloth. during his farewell address that fourth mayors and general petraeus touched on several very significant things first the general cautioned against repeating american mistake after the vietnam war and to prevent hollowing the us army also cautioned to keep counting insurgency doctoring alive and he called for maintaining the full spectrum operation capabilities for the united states forces there we'll danger for the tens again in the twenty first century is not to divulge it might lead to a hollow that army but the army itself is growing more and more irrelevant in their conventional challenges at least for the united states for two reasons first due to

the past symmetrical nature of the current over horizon challenges than and secondly that it is more exception then as a rule but really the american g. i's being the most expensive soldier in the world it is the united states that has to be its so last more than anything else regarding that pentagram cuts in just over a week america will mark a decade since suffering its worst terrorism on home soil nine eleven that lit the touch paper for a war on terror that saw the u.s. invade iraq and afghanistan and eventually led to the killing of osama bin laden but the scars in new york remain loyal oftenest asked people there whether they feel today's world is any safer. it's still called the war on terror that launched after the tragic nine eleven

attacks on the u.s. has cost hundreds of thousands of lives and trillions of dollars by some estimates though ten years later as the effort been worth it this week let's talk about that i think it's more. i think that i believe that yes is it trillions of dollars safer . i could say that i don't know the war actually and started more or is it that it's that's my opinion but that's the european opinion so to speak as you know the europeans they are not as aggressive in the war against terrorism as the americans so both america the u.k. anybody is involved in it just just back off. the bat so hot you know because if you do back away they've won. and you don't want to let the terrorists win so it's just it's not easy to come up with the right answer to get anybody wants to you know to cause trouble or to or to provoke some kind of attack they can do so with or without a war so would you categorize the war on terror as

a failure. as necessary do you think the world is safer because of it i don't know i think that we have been out of offending day-i court waiting for to get him more than three hours and i think that maybe is excessive but i don't know so do you think that we're giving up too much liberty in the world in the name of security i think that yes the danger is very close we have to give more liberties and if the world becomes safer and maybe we can get them back you're ok with giving them up for a while i think so we should probably stop using the word for starters and a war on terror that is in the phrase just it's just a stupid phrase and was coined for political reasons i think we should should stop using vet and just just do what needs to be done whether or not you think it's a. worth the effort but the bottom line is the war on terror has been bloody and costly and we still have yet to see any clear plan for it than it's.
