people, with the arab culture. and now, in a way, you were kind of way ahead of the game. >> well, over 30 years i've been trying to make that point. and yet today, at this point in time, because of political events, because of certain isolated but tragic in their consequences acts of terrorism, and because of the political process in this country, to some extent, there seems to be even more polarization that i remember at almost any other period of time. and it's of great concern. it's of great concern to muslims and to arabs, and i suspect to other communities around the world as well, to see the political system here so polarized, and to see the other, if you will, people or cultures or societies that aren't entirely familiar-- and that may be true for latin americans as well-- become, what do you call it, political footballs. in other words, to become so highly part of a political... of polarized political process that no longer are the people and the realities, the social and cultural realities of our regions,

arabs still hold him accountable. yet most arab leaders got to know him personally. i suspect many would have preferred to have been there. they should have come. it would have been important. and israel is entering into an important time as iran becomes of power. saudi arabia, egypt. their relationship with israel are becoming far more significant in many respects their relationship is becoming in effect a matter of importance and convenience to the arab states. it is more ironic that the leaders didn't come as a symbolic testament to the importance of the growing israeli ties. >> you heard former president clinton's eulogy. he referenced shimon peres's mistakes. what do you think those were throughout his time as the leader of israel, symbolically as president and as chief executive and prime minister. >> i don't think there were many mistakes we can point to during mr. peres's time as president. from the time he entered politics in 1959 he competed aggressively with other lears in the labor party for management and control. he was very much a loner and a schemer.

for them an arab is an arab.n september 2000 the palestinians started to shoot through the jewish neighborhoods, and the authorities had to protect the kindergarten over here, and they put up this wall put up by the neighborhood council. but nevertheless, it's quite ugly. but if they shoot from the other side toward the kindergarten, what other measure you can take in order to protect the children? >> before returning home we went to visit a palestinian farmer whose life was devastated when half of his land was taken by the israeli army to accommodate the bending of the wall. -- the building of the wall. >> the majority of his land and the better part of his land is beyond that fence. all these walls he built by breaking this sporn land with his wife and his children and all his hard work is gone. he cannot go down and tend to his trees or cultivate it. >> i feel like i haven't found any anchor for the light at the end of the tunnel. is there any chance for people to believe that there is something else? >> i use

the arabs have put pressure on mr. ford, and he's yielded, and he has permitted a boycott by the arab countries of american businesses who trade with israel, or who have american jews owning or taking part in the management of american companies. his own secretary of commerce had to be subpoenaed by the congress to reveal the names of businesses who were subject to this boycott. they didn't volunteer the information. he had to be subpoenaed. and the last thing i'd like to say is this. this grain deal with the soviet union in was terrible, and mr. 1972 ford made up for it with three embargoes, one against our own ally in japan. that's not the way to run our foreign policy, including international trade. ms. frederic: mr. trewhitt, a question for governor carter. mr. trewhitt: governor, i'd like to pick up on that point, actually, and on your appeal for a greater measure of american idealism in foreign affairs. foreign affairs come home to the american public pretty much in such issues as oil embargoes and grain sales, t

it's taking place in the arab world. our peace treaties with egypt and jordan continue to be anchors of stability in the volatile middle east. but i have to tell you this: for the first time in my lifetime, many other states in the region recognize that israel is not their enemy. they recognize that israel is their ally. our common enemies are iran and isis. our common goals are security, prosperity and peace. i believe that in the years ahead we will work together to achieve these goals, work together openly so israel's diplomatic relations are undergoing nothing less than a revolution. but in this revolution, we never forget that our most cherished alliance, our deepest friendship, is with the united states of america, the most powerful and the most generous nation on earth. our unbreakable bond with the united states of america transcends parties and politics. it reflects, above all else, the overwhelming support for israel among the american people, support which is at record highs and for which we are deeply gratefu

the syrian-arab army that has been combating terrorism on the ground for more than five years. without such coordination, any action would be considered a breach of sovereignty, a flagrant interference and a violation of the principles and purpose of the charter. without such coordination, any action will fall short of achieving results. in this regard, the syrian government condems in the strong as possible terms the attack launched by american warplanes on the syrian army site in the vicinity of the airport on september 17. this attack allowed isil dig in control of the site. the syrian government holds the united states fully responsible for this aggression. the facts show it was an intentional attack and not an error, even if the united states claims otherwise. this cowardly aggression clearly proves that the u.s. and its allies are complicit with isil and other terrorist organizations. we also reiterate our condemnation of turkish incursion into syrian territories, under the pretext of countering terrorism. this is a flagrant aggression and must be stopped immediately. ter

or in arabic music ajan, a-j-a-n, ajan.een those three two notes, and i'm referring to the third note i played, or i can fit another interval in between that we call quartertone. [guitar strumming] and many people think it's kind of weird or it sounds out of tune, but it is not. it's a quality that, if you are born in certain region that practice this type of music or if you get used to it, like many american students who study with me for years and years-- they got used to it and they perform it perfectly. [spirited violin plays] i went to school in the early '80s, at manhattan school of music, and i specialized on violin, and one of the top violinists then used to come and give us master classes was heinrick szering, the polish violinist. in one of the master classes, i was supposed to perform i think it was a beethoven sonata on the violin and piano, and after i finished, he said, you know, he commented on my playing, and before i leave the stage, i asked to play another piece of music. so i took the violin again and the

that is a sunni arab majority area. you can't have the kurds, the syrian kurds clearing that and holding it. that will produce enormous friks. there clearly is a requirement for additional sunni arab forces in syria to help take that operation. >> rose: want to go back to iraq for a second. troops on the ground, kurds? >> kurds. >> rose: iraqi soldiers. >> iraqi army soldiers, special operations forces, iraqi police units that are actual units of police bat all ons. >> rose: shia militia. >> they will be there somewhere. they are determined to play a role. but obviously our objective is to keep them out of the sunni arab areas. there will also be a subi-- sunni arab, if you will, militias that have been formed from the nanoa province, even christian millishes as and yazidi millish yas. >> rose: who chose not to be part of the iraqi army. >> they couldn't be part of it. they were isolated. they were supported to some degree by the iraqi government. and they will now all have to be incorporated into this. so again you are

it's against arabs and israel is alive and death to the arabs. >> intimidatinintimidating.ut 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. cohen is the chief executive and the former head of security. >> he is seen from up above from most of the town. most of the villages all-around. >> it's an unusual situation. a lot of your neighbors would like you to not be here. >> i know most of them and most of them are happy we are here. because we gave them prosperity for the past 45 years and wherever the plo came, they lost it. >> a lot of people would disagree with that statement. >> i worked with high tech security radars and cameras. >> you can see them walking at night from far out? >> definitely. >> could you identify them? >> depends. we have our protocols we work with. we had our successes. we drive to another settlement. hot, sun bleached suburban feeling. the sensors of security, everything they feel they need. a school, public transportation and a petting zoo. >> he lived he

it speaks to the idea of inclusion in the arab world.ow much are we looking at an egyptunity in jordan or or wherever they are to actually have more and more of the economy bring them in and include them. and i don't know how much we are bringing that into the question. >> do you work on programs with syrian refugees in the region? >> i have not. it the relief community -- i make a generalization. refugee situations historically have not gotten into employment and entrepreneurship because they expect those people are want those people to leave and get out and go home. is 17 years.e >> i understand. it is beginning to struggle with that. they are not used to dealing with those issues. the governments that don't want to see that kind of investment taking place. it is a complicated issue. years, they will be 20. it do you want the 20-year-old be sitting around with nothing to do and dependent on foreign aid? >> i think there is some effort to try to have economic zones on the border to just have opportunities. i know it is at the very begin

arab terrorists attacking opec, the headquarters of oil power.ee men were killed and three wounded. >> there is no certainty, but there is plenty of speculation, that one of those terrorists who raided the opec meeting in vienna be europe's most wanted fugitive, carlos sanchez martinez, also known as the jackal? >> this is the clearest news film of carlos that so far exists. that's him breaking away, answering a call from near the plane. >> carlos the jackal i think had an enormous flair for publicity, becoming arguably the best-known terrorist of that era. >> but who is this man known to police as carlos ramirez sanchez? who was paying him? what is he after? and how many members in his group of terror? >> carlos is thought to be a venezuelan in his late 20s, moscow trained, politically motivated, and wanted by france, holland, britain, and now austria. >> he crossed frontiers on six forged passport, used ten different names, spoke spanish, russian, french, and arabic. >> this is a face for international terrorism. here's a venezuelan working wit

i believe that the arab peace initiatives presents a reasonable, serious solution. yet israel continues to insist on being selective, choosing only what it wishes from this initiative, such as establishment of relations with the arab countries first without ending its occupation of palestine. this is definitely a recipe for the continuation of the conflict in our region, and we will not accept this and no one else can accept it. mr. president, ladies and gentlemen, by the end of this coming year, 100 years will have passed since the balfour declaration, and 70 years since al-nakba of the palestinian people, and 50 years since israel occupied the west bank, including east jerusalem, and the gaza strip. yes, 100 years have passed since the notorious balfour declaration, by which britain gave, without any right, authority or consent from anyone, the land of palestine to another people. this paved the road for the nakba of palestinian people and their dispossession and displacement from their land. as if this were not enough, the british mandate interpreted this declara

when he traveled the arab world, as he did often, he would not t as a great country.e would talk about israel as an inspiration for young arabs to become entrepreneurs. >> it is fitting the anecde bill clinton gave saying the unthinkable happened. that there is a tweet learning about the death of shimon peres. the first day without shimon peres. i believe there was a facebook reference you made as well. >> he had a great saying. he said we are the people of the book from an ancient land and now we are people of facebook. >> in fact, as we are waiting for president obama to speak, he'll wrap up some of the eulogies here. just moments away. we want to show you some of the words from bill clinton, from his eu

a sunni arab majority, many kurds, christians.any of them have grievances against each other, and there are even rivalries within the sectarian groups. it is very, very complex. frankly, it is going to be far more challenging in this moment, than defeating the islamic state. it will be a tough fight. there will be a city battle. isis has dug in, improvised explosive devices, but there is no question it is going to be defeated. the same throughout iraq, if i could, because the islamic state will be defeated as an army. there will still be insurgents, guerrilla elements. but the level of violence should decline. the issue for iraq, writ large, is politics in baghdad, and we are seeing very concerning developments in recent weeks. there have already been, months ago vote of no-confidence, that , a resulted in the minister of interior being pardoned. in the last few weeks, the minister of defense has been given a vote of no-confidence, and a highly respected kurdish leader was given a vote of no-confidence. the minister of finance, ha

in their revolutionary propaganda if you will, they promise equality to arabs and non-arabs, as well, the idea that everybody is equal. particularly, they were focused on iranians because iranians had felt disenfranchised. they had felt oppressed by the predecessors of the abbasids. the omians. when they come to power, they are much more diversity. this looks like a global civilization. we have a diverse court of caliphs, it was arab descent, now we have persian descent, of berrer descent well, we read of blonde haired cal lives and this sort of thing. this is reflective of the cosmopolitan nature we see with the abbasid caliphate. isil, likewise, promotes itself as a diverse enterprise which is open to all ethnicities. their goal is to create a god's community literally they call it, which supersedes nationalistic bounds which are considered inferior because they're made by people. and as an example of this openness or in terms of ethnicity we see videos. isil will make videos of its various non-arab -- non-arab members, particularly western converts with names like albajiki, el trin

,is excellency, walid muallem deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs of the syrian arab republic. i have the great pleasure in welcoming the deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs and expatriates of the syrian arab republic, and i invite him to address the general assembly. minister muallem: [speaking through translator] president of the 71st assembly of the united nations, i would like to congratulate you and your friendly country fiji on your election as president of the present session of the united nations general assembly. i wish you all success during your presidency, which you have promised would be one for the whole house. such a promise, if kept, would strengthen the neutral rule of the president of the general assembly and shed a bright light on the fact that some are trying to conceal. mr. president, ladies and gentlemen, as we meet once again, our world is going through a grave and dangerous period. terrorism, which we have cautioned against repeatedly , hasthis very rostrum continued to grow and gain ground, claiming the lives of more innocent

that was before the arab spring, then came the arab spring. we tried to support that.t's like the french revolution, it takes decades to make that change. >> very messy. >> absolutely. we had to be working with those governments, knowing those governments are not only repressing their own people in ways that create support, but also, sometimes, working with those groups in ways we don't like. it's very hard to take one position or another. tom is right. in the end, you have to penetrate the society, not the government. that's very hard for another government to do. >> fawaz, we don't have a lot of time, but quickly, would you say there are a lot of people who feel the u.s. response very quickly became too military and yet these were very bad guys. do you think that there was any -- was it not inevitable there would be a very strong military response? >> you know, fareed, i wish we had more time. i will try to be precise. often the question is asked, did 9/11 change the world? i argue that a more pertinent question, to what extent did 9/11 transform america? in the sens

the arab spring.actually means the revival of the arab people as it is characterized in the koran they are the best of all people. everyone who was in a leadership position in that movement in the middle east said so. all we had to do is listen to what their intentions were. have we seen this icon before? the white words across the middle from the right is [speaking arabic]. on the left in the yellow printing in the bottom is [speaking arabic], which means prepare. well, what are they preparing for? preparing to terrify your enemies. according to malik in the koranic concept of war every tactic and strategy should be designed to do what it says in the koran which is [speaking arabic] which means to terrify your enemy and defeat them. actually, the word is slaughter them in warfare. that, my friends, is the icon of the muslim brotherhood. the word [speaking arabic] comes from koran 860 called the spoils of war, the most violent chapter in the entire koran. my first rhetorical question would be why in t

but the arab spring changed that. he started protesting against the assad regime and the the civil war. and since 2014, he has been fighting against isis at t the risk of his own safety. >> they tried a lot. they did a lot of f things, they started to cut off the wifi outside the coffee shop. then they spread security cameras all over the city trying to catch us. to catch my colleagues inside the city. reporter: in november, his courage was honored with an award. he says the syrian people have been abandoned. >> when the syrian revolution started to ask the arab -- we asked the arab countries to help us and they didn't do anything.. only thehe speeches of the international world. they will defeat isis soon, that they will do something. but it was only speech, nothing more than that. reporter: ten members of his group have already been murdered by is. and his life is on the line too. but for him, his former home has become a symbol of courage. >> for t the international world raqqa is the capital of isis and , of extre

arab oil embargo. and, the substantial loss of arab oil could plunge the united states into depression. the question is whether the development of alternative energy sources, in order to reduce this dependence, can be done without damaging the environment, and will it mean for american families steadily higher fuel bills? mr. reagan: i'm not so sure that it means steadily higher fuel costs, but i do believe that this nation has been portrayed for too long a time to the people as being energy-poor when it is energy-rich. the coal that the president mentioned, yes, we have it and yet one-eighth of our total coal resources is not being utilized at all right now. the mines are closed down, there are 22,000 miners out of work. most of this is due to regulations which either interfere with the mining of it or prevent the burning of it:. with our modern technology, yes, we can burn our coal within the limits of the clean air act. i think, as technology improves, we'll be able to do even better with that. the

all of the arabs know what it it isances and the realize know what it is. at a time of great and clear conflict -- and it is clear to me that the iranians are the bad guys and our allies in the arab world are imperfect, but they are still our allies, that we're going to send a signal to the radical regime in tehran that we're going to roll back supporting our allies and do nothing about your provocative behavior would be a mistake for the ages. i wish the body would have a different debate than we're having today. i wish somebody would come here and talk about reimposing sanctions on the iranians. they have captured american sailors and humiliated them. they're allies of bashar assad who has butchered 450,000 of his own people. they are a empowering hezbollah, the mortal enemy of israel. they're humiliating every force of good, and our response is to stand up and undercut an ally? what a world we live in where the united states senate is considering stopping selling arms to somebody who would fight with us at a time when we're doing nothing to a country who

- i'll tell you this though, he thought it was very important at the beginning and what the arab spring proved and then the rise of isis proved is that it turns out that the israeli palestinian dispute is not actually that important. it's right now, it's the fourth or fifth most important conflict going on in the middle east. - [evan] it's down the list. - [jeff] it's way down the list. he believed coming into office that you solve this, you solve a lot of the problems in the middle east. now he realizes that what the arabs were focused on the whole was not israel, they were focused on their own crappy leadership and their own religious disputes and their own sort of working through some of the basic endemic problems of their society. - is netanyahu the problem? if netanyahu had not been the leader of israel during so much of the obama presidency could more have been done? - right it was a tragic misalignment of essentially a republican israeli prime minister and a liberal, democratic american president. that said, i mean, let me answer the way i think of it, i think netanyahu was certa

really the bottom chopped out from under us when the arab spring happened. it's sort the challenge for us is we have to understand that in the two other regions that matter most to the united states in terms of our future -- in europe, asia -- we are also seeing historic changes occur. if you go to each region, the answer all of our partners are asking for is more of the united states. we have to continue to be engaged in all three regions, and we have close partners and three allies in all those regions. we cannot by definition meet all of their wishes equally, and that triage is something we struggled with an government and the next administration will struggle with as well. >> the last question was on iraq and why is it that this parcel of land has been such a statesge to the united not the : that's a great question. the colin powell , it's like pottery barn, you break it you own it. part of it was to make sure saddam hussein did not take over saudi arabia, but also to get them out of another partner of ours, kuwait. that's when we begin the military enta

a solution of two national states -- a jewish state -- israel; an arab state -- palestine. palestinians are our closest neighbors. i believe they may become our closest friends. [applause] peace with the palestinians will open ports of peace all around the mediterranean. the duty of leaders is to pursue freedom ceaselessly, even in the face of hostility, in the face of doubt and disappointment. just imagine what could be. now, a young arab generation has opened its eyes and stood up against oppression, poverty and corruption. they seek freedom. they need freedom. they understand that freedom begins at home. i pray for their success. i believe that their success may become the success of all of us. so, president, my vision is an israel living in full, genuine peace, joining with all the people in the middle east -- former enemies, new friends alike; jerusalem becoming the capital of peace; an israel that is a scientific center open to all, serving all without discrimination; a green israel, an increasingly green middle east. my vision is an israel whose moral code is old as

, what was called the arab sups who had been with us. and that led to the beginning of the end of the holding iraq together. that's what killed it. it's clear that obama wanted to get out. he wanted to get out in time for re-election. did he. he could have completed as everybody could see at the time. a status of forces agreement. he didn't want to. that's why it never happened. >> mercedes? >> you know, i agree with charles. i think that with the fact that he was so ---obama was so focused on let's withdrawal our troops. create this vacuum. it's no wonder in 2014, you had the isis surprise in mosul. you had the fact that iraqi police and the sunni arab forces abandoned their post. and now it's recovery time. and it's interesting now how the iraqi prime minister said this is the final increase of numbers that we need for our troops to see if we can recapture mostly. but we have lost time. millions have been displaced and it's disastrous. >> take a look at the map the u.s. troops are going to bases around mosul. and only this is working w
