these changes continue within israel there are many detractors outside of israel and many of the jewish voices many from the united states not very happy at the way all the direction that this particular government is taking the state of israel in that it's not going to sit very well within the cabinet certainly when they hear these dissenting voices and those very voices of the ones that normally financially support the state of israel. i think this is the main the main problem or the main issue for the israeli government as they said forced to put into law things that will form an informal but in thing no but doing that increase the criticism. from the outside and for if you want. to be there is a safety. we'll probably increase from outside but i think that the spiral that there is more pressure from outside so there is more pressure from the inside to sustain the situation to sustain the discrimination that is part of the definition of the state of. a state for jews as it said in the closure of independence of where. i think that the goodness of them can. even likely to cause. more pressur

jewish people. the lessons one from our speakers tonight have strengthened our resolve and emboldened us to raise our voiceu lord for the outpouring of love and support for israel and the jewish people tonight, we thank you for the internal bond between america and israel and we left upper nation's leaders praying that this german and wisdom from above will continue to guide their every decision. bless all those who attended tonight and watching around the globe. this is the day and this is the hour to stand with israel and the jewish people. those who bless israel will be blessed and every nation on earth will be held accountable for how they treated israel. as david wrote in psalm 121, i will lift up mine eyes to the hills for with comes my help. my help comes from the lord who made heaven and earth. he will not allow your foot to be moved, he who keeps you will not slumber, behold he who keeps israel shall neither slumber nor sleep for the lord is your keeper. the lord is your shade and your right hand, the son shall not strike you by day nor the moon by night. the lord shall preserve you from all evil

the founder of facebook, in an audio only interview, voiced some, shall we say, controversial views on content that will not be removed. >> i'm jewishand there's a set of people who deny that the holocaust happened. >> yes, there's a lot. >> i find that deeply offensive been but at the end of the day, i don't believe that our platform should take that down because i think there are things that different people get wrong, either -- i don't think their intentionally getting it wrong. >>rick thomasen, senior writer at the atlantic. we should note mr. zuckerberg has since walked that back. he's tried to clarify what he meant there. probably could have come up with a far better example than that one. the bitter question here. what's at issue? what's this all about? >> zuckerberg is famous for having dropped out of college in order to start facebook, which has, by all accounts, been extremely financial successful for him. harvard offers classes in history and in ethics. this is a moment where i think zuckerberg might have benefited from finishing that college degree at harvard university because an answer like this lacks historical perspe

unique kind of voice that can connect people, and that's what the desi comedy fest, featuring south asian standups does, and is about to do again. joining us again, first, our favorite indian-jewishtandup comic, samson koletkar, the cofounder of the desi comedy fest. welcome back, great to see you again. samson koletkar: thank you, it's always a pleasure to see you. robert: now, i said fourth earlier. this is the fifth annual show. samson: good job. robert: i'm just trying to break that stereotype of all asians being good at math, you know? samson: there you go. somebody's gotta break some stereotypes. robert: that's right, and so, five years though. considering when we talked early on in the early years how it was kind of a--you wondered if it'd catch on. not only has it caught on-- samson: it's been growing, so that's a good sign. 'cause we started in 2014 with 700 people. we had 2,700 last year. so the growth has been good, and now this year, we're targeting 4,000-plus. robert: and i know we were talking earlier about how many times you see people stay for even the same show. it's not the same show, but they see the same comedian, and people are hungry for that kind of thing,

the voices raised tonight were very strong and very emotional, people were very upset, and this isn'tjust about jewishts relationship with thejewish committee is so very poor those credentials have got to be questioned. it says the rules in place now to cover anti—semitism and discredit anti—semitism and will mean there is no place for anti—semitism in the party. if the vote in september is against law motion, what would you do? —— your motion. labour mps are very clear what they want and we will see what happens in that boat. this is part ofa happens in that boat. this is part of a very long number of occasions when the labour party has been seen to fail thejewish when the labour party has been seen to fail the jewish community when the labour party has been seen to fail thejewish community —— in that vote. not recognising the budget concerns, the definition of —— legitimate concerns, the definition of anti—semitism needs to be focused on. mps go away for this man they look at the definition and listen to jeremy corbyn man they look at the definition and listen tojeremy corbyn and they come back —— m

voice against this. i think. so there was a protestant deal of eve quite a large presence that was joined by post a list of citizens and meaning of there going to be jewish arab partnership in israel against against racial hierarchy and against discrimination and for a real truth through partnership in this plan which i think that again as i said there's a lot of hopelessness and even some people are wondering if postilions troops continue to have presentation in the parliament i'm not sure if they are going to be large protests as there was in the past against the proverb land that was intended to displace palestinian bid ruins in the negev but definitely there is a lot of efforts from civil society organizations to reach out to the international community and to to try to gain its support. thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us thank you very much meanwhile israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu has welcomed this hungary and counterpart viktor our bond to jerusalem calling have a true friend of israel leaders visit has drawn criticism as has been accused of being anti semitism but netanyahu praised our ban for combat in anti semitism

jewish republican caucus of the house of representatives. my friend from tennessee, a great member a great freshman member and great leader and voice on this issue, david cus to have. -- cus tauf -- kustoff. mr. kustoff: i appreciate you taking the time to organize this evening, this very important issue that i think we all realize the defense of our nation and the defense of our allies is one of the most important reasons that we function as a government. mr. speaker, i rise today in support of president trump's recent decision to withdraw from the joint comprehensive plan of action. also known as the iran deal. in november of 2017, i spoke here on the house floor, lauding president trump's decision to desert fi the iran deal. today i'm glad to stand here with the news that the united states is finally withdrawing from this deeply flawed deal and reimposing tough sanctions on tehran. you know, just a few months ago, pril 30 of this year, the rael prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, unveiled a massive supply of documents revealing iran's development of the secret nuclear weapons program while claiming otherwise. in reality, iran kept these docum

jewish tradition compels us to perform acts of justice, and we are driven by repairing the world. we have a responsibility to be a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves, to make the world a better place. but these values are not unique to jews or to judaism. they are values we all strive to share. our country has the unique capability to prevent these tragedies before they unfold. elie wiesel, who i was privileged to know, the namesake of this legislation said, we must always take sides. neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. when this bill becomes law we can take comfort in knowing the united states of america is taking sides, is not neutral, and is not silent in the face of inhumanity. when we are faced with bigotry and hate, with war crimes and crimes against humanity, with ethnic cleansing and genocide, the united states must always remain a beacon of hope for justice, freedom, and peace. with this bill, we do just that. thank you. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields. the gentleman from calif
