in video for your media projects free media dogcart dot com. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry parker was a big issue. with me i have who is the former head of the world zionist organization and also the former head of the israeli parliament so i thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. israel defines itself as a jewish and democratic state does this definition hold or is there a contradiction between the two marketing wise souls from plastic to the price of

one i mean not only to the mark received the jews democracy and many people maybe most of the people are very satisfied with it because it truly think about the built in oxymoron paradox which means the source of authority of the democratic components is the human being it's you and me and him and her we are the source of authority of ourselves the eventually the source or through the of the jewish component of the equation is the god in heaven so it's actually a state which was built to a source of authority democracy and theocracy this is impossible this is a ways from its appearance in many times when you see into conflicts within israel between church and state between komisarek and knesset which is the synagogue and the parliament it's a long this line is where the market. potential jewish.

so i think of this different mission will not hold water for long. article israel's fading democracy you know mental state of israel's democratic values what are some of the most imminent danger to israel's democracy it's not an easy question to answer because you see we can use says in democracies all over the world i mean you see the erode the trust of people in their democratic elected institutions all over the west so part of what happens to the western democracy is happens to israel as well and this is. the performance is not good the feeling of the individual that somehow they do not serve me but they serve the they the elected they serve their own. purposes the goals are so fulfilment missions or whatever it is and it's not for me so this part of it what happens to the entire west is the.

in israel you have at least three more components the first one is we spoke earlier and this is the inevitable coalition between church and state. the second is if you define israel as a jewish democratic state and the jewish project takes over the democratic project all of a sudden you realize that we have here and if we could democracy. democracy be possible. can you have just a little concept of democracy is a kind of a universal or should be universal set of values which is of course my fundamental belief and the fact that in israel we have more than twenty percent of the population who do not belong to the jewish component of the jewish majority creates a situation in which many israelis believe the mako see is the rule of my dorothy rather than understanding that most of the mark we're seeing is about the freedoms and the liberties. of the minorities on the list the freedoms and liberties of the

minorities the third component which erode the threatens the very foundation of these really democracy. is the fact that we don't have a deep democratic heritage there is a kind of model in political science which is saying immigrants who immigrated from liberal progressive countries established liberal progressive entities immigrants from great britain establish new zealand australia canada nor in politics of america and immigrants who immigrated. sort of portugal and spain created the none very another very democratic banana republics of of that in america so what is israel according to this mode of the overwhelming majority of israelis are coming from an undemocratic background be the muslim hemisphere be holocaust survivors be people who immigrated from communist russia which was not the best of democracies

ever etc etc etc so we do not yet have a deep legacy of democratic spirit and whenever you have a threat people we rode to the old system people with the devil they know and the devil we knew is not a democratic devil israeli identity is built on a claim of jewish inheritance to the promised land what kind of identity have these radiators created for israel in the past sixty four years i was seated at least from a jewish point of view which is the majority component here it's the first time in our history with the combination of our identity is both territory sovereignty language power independence and statehood for the non jewish component in israel which is most of it is really palestinians i would say and it's the first time for. most of these people to leave. the

nation ever leave. because we never had sovereignty over the last two thousand years or so and the third component which is no less important and this is my feeling is that most of the is really palestinians as much as they have a problem. and were abused by the israeli system looking around it's much worthy for them to fight for their position and proving a bit on status would in this kind of these really boundaries rather than compete for the same rights within the arab nation environment what role israel's palestinian citizens play in the jewish democratic equation from the point of view of many of. the of the system we can we boys of the system i mean

whenever something bad happens between jews and jews there with the palestinian the israeli palestinian i mean when lieberman wants to make a complain against somebody. bash is the minority when. the party wants to progress itself it goes against the israeli arabs and there is a competition over let's limit them or who limits them limits more. so i would say that in many many cases unfortunately that usually palestinians are that little more space for. the quality and the quality of the israeli democracy and recently most of the tests coming out. what does the word zionism mean for me there was a very interesting maybe even crucial movement in a concept that was actually the scaffolding. of the jewish structures

it was a scaffolding newly erected by the end of the nineteenth century in order to transform or renew or rebuild the structure of from an existing structure into a sovereign one in forty eight the new structure is the building is built the inauguration was done we can remove the scaffolding we don't need it anymore i mean personally i'm a human being that's my family name my middle name is that i'm jewish and my given name that i mean is really how do you solve the law of the tune and the palestinian refugees cry for what they call the right to return to their land regardless of what will happen to should happen between israel and palestine we should address the lord with the law of return was in this maybe was a necessity that early stages of the state and we still lived under the impression of jews being persecuted because of the judaism and the national belonging to the

jewish collective which actually was the fall of the of the war by the end of the eighty's so israel of that part of it was a safe haven for jews is needed a fast track for those running away because of the for the live because of the jewishness as for now ninety eight percent of the jews are living outside of the immediate threat for their life i mean the twenty four thousand jews in iran four thousand jews in morocco to jews in afghanistan they're not talking to each other and that's it. the overwhelming majority of the jews are living in a democratic hemisphere. so we should have a normal equal to all citizenship maybe there should be there a paragraph if one individual you are me or me or my uncle or you is being persecuted because of the judaism they will have a kind of fair struck into citizenship to protect them otherwise all the rest of them. normal procedure to join the. israeli collective is for the right of return

of the palestinians if there will be two state solution. i have no problem with it i mean whatever they want to do in their country welcome you have said that something profound and basic has changed in israel's relationship with the united states and you also say that netanyahu is great achievement was to make israel a partisan issue do you think that israel remains an asset to the united states or has it become a liability new orleans for i can give you is america still in their support of israel because whether israel is an asset for us you have to ask them ok though. not at all sure if we should continue with the kind of one sided strategy of the israeli government siding with. american philosophy is. the more the most difficult right wing. capitalist economy on

warning and being very very conservative visa vi and the mes and powers and fears and threats etc these are the some other stuff israel will not for long will be above the political debate in that it states of america it will be an asset for the republicans and a liability for the democrats embody in the lead will be totally removed from the american political equations the severe strategic mistake. by the israeli prime minister binyamin that the neo israel should remain out. in the political nuance in america partisan political nuance in america thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. leisure.

it's perched atop a jar and the view from the kremlin stretches as far as the eye can see. for a city of siberia for centuries. it lost its economic importance even before it was bypassed by the chance i bear in railway but a spiritual center. eat . things like these are a yearly occurrence thousands of orthodox worshippers and blessid walter to commemorate the baptismal jesus. it doesn't matter if it's minus thirty it's a siberian tradition i do it myself every year for everyone to overcome their worst fears it is desirable to take the plunge. but that's picture postcard church is

there they created a replica high society adopting the latest fashions as soon as they came out or at least once they made it from paris to siberia. but the city also serves up some bit of irony for the russian role family after the bolshevik revolution this is the office was nicholas the second spend most of the last year of his life his whole family had been exiled here they were fairly comfortable existence this was a big house but they weren't allowed to see visitors or go outside themselves whilst leaving this ordinary normal countryside lifestyle they even had thoughts of escape but within the year bizarre and his family would be dead. the ball school never regain its political significance but the streets will always go with a glorious past. like you provide the livelihood for some habitants in the future.
