arab newspapers ran a name in shameless the countries that voted for the un partition plan and the arab protesters took to the streets. it was unthinkable in the united nations or any other place in the world that a national liberation movement would share the land with the settler community by dividing it that what was important for the zionist in you know the nation petition resolution was that it provided israel with international legitimacy but they didn't care for the borders or didn't stop them from thinking how to dispose of the palestinians and i would have seen. how little stickum of the. whole take a final bit of us and the with and sphere who're. with that they figure out that though that you know do you have him back at leisure the other to be with you denny laine that measure left with the right on. quality that will you hold the call to transfer. following the partition resolution britain announced it would end its mandate in palestine on made of fourteen thousand nine hundred forty eight. outraged by the vote for politician the arab league decided to prepare the palestini

i've been serving the redding arab community for almost 30 years and i dearly love my arab families and support the children and their families. my concern is not supporting arab youth. i'm all for learning language, cultural history. it's the extreme speech of the leadership of aroc. when i read on-line, going to the primary source, which we teach our children to do, when i heard her saying on line, bringing down israel will really benefit everyone in the world and everyone in society, that is -- goes far beyond criticizing a government. that's scary language, which is hatred and is wrong for a school district to have leadership of an organization who speaks like that. i hope you will find a way to support arab youth with a more inclusive organization at a time when both anti-semitism and islama-phobia are on the rise. we should not engage with a group that pits the two religious minorities against each other. thank you. >> president mendoza-mcdonnell: thank you for that. are there others -- i want to just give the time accordingly. are there others that are not for or against but are

more than one hundred arabs and jews were killed on both sides. john chancellor the new british high commissioner in palestine issued a strongly worded memorandum calling for all those who took part in the revolt to be severely punished three palestinians were arrested and accused of participating in the revolt they were fouad has a son he jazzy from sufi. ahmed al zia from hebron. and mohammed. whose picture could not be found. the three men were jailed here at a cop prison the british sentenced them to death. arab delegations pleaded for their sentences to be commuted but on june the seventeenth nineteen the british authorities and the three men executed. a cemetery an acre still contains the graves of the three men. in a final statement before their execution they had written at the end of our lives we say to the arab leaders and muslims all over the world do not trust the foreigners we lived and died for the arab cause. such sentiments of anti colonialism and pan arab ism would become increasingly common in subsequent decades. and. during the

we should sign with arab league, with palestinians, and to find the solution for the israel and arabs, that biggest part of them identify themselves as palestinians. i think it's also very, very crucial, and it's biggest issue to continue the same thing and to hold the result will be different result. i think it's -- explained in the past in this politically correct approach. >> your opening remark, though, at the podium was, real peace is an illusion. >> i think as i said, it's solution, it's not peaceful. peace you need to real two democratic societies, you knee strong middle class, and in -- because the economic situation much better than in gaza strip. because mahmoud abbas in washington more. he has nothing to stab strong economy. he doesn't worry about prosperity in the palestinian -- he only speaks like revolution with slogans, independent state. for independent state you need capacity, you need economy, you need jobs, education. it's not enough only the declaration of independence. the independence cost a lot of money, and i think that they reference, first of all, they should

there were over half a million syrian arabs a mixed community with arab hebrew canaanite greek egypt shouldn't possibly crusaders blood they in their forefathers of occupied the country for the best part of one thousand five hundred years they own the soil they profess the mohammedan faith they will not be content either to be exposed created for jewish immigrants or to act merely is he was of wood and drawers of water to the latter. but his pressie interim marks fell on deaf ears it's like who tells hyde bites at the end of the workout that it's meeting dr rights but it's a boy as though they've witnessed the birth of an agreement to create jewish national home as a baby in the middle east. the final draft of the balfour declaration was sixty seven words long. his majesty's government view with favor the establishment in palestine of a national home for the jewish people and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non jewish communi

i'm one of the students who needs support in schools in arabic, and i'm wondering, like, why the arabic in our schools are not allowed in our schools? and i think that it is all right, and i think that nudhr, which is the human right, all says number one, we all burn equal, and i think this is our right, like, to have programs in our school in arabic so they can support us and make us more stronger, so i need to graduate high school and -- with understanding everything. i want to graduate and go to the college without -- without understanding anything, and that's, like -- that's very hard for me to understand because my first language is arabic, and i can't speak english very well, so it's hard for me to graduate with understanding everything. thank you. [applause]. >> thank you. final speaker? >> final speaker. good evening, everybody. i'm with the arab resource and organizing center. i just wanted to thank you all. this issue around our mou and mou programming was very important, especially as it was stated at this moment with heightened islamophobe i can't, targeted surveillance of o

for them an arab is an arab.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

this is the organization in san francisco that can provide arab culturally relevant programming for arab youth. this organization can provide the mentorship that can help arab youth in our school district. let's talk about the specifics of san francisco. i can assure you that the arab community looks to aroc for a multitude of services including mentoring their youth. so i encourage you to renew aroc's m.o.u. so they can continue to provide culturally relevant education of students. who dare to express their criticism of israel and zionism. we are jews, too. and for the jewish community relations council to act like they're speaking on behalf of all jews is wrong. thank you. >> just a reminder, there are about 12 speakers and you've got 10 minutes. so monitor yourselves accordingly. you can do it however you want, but just a reminder. you now have six minutes left. >> peace and love, i'm one of the staffers islamic. to deny aroc from supporting arab students and muslim students is to say that the legitimacy and the trust that aroc has within the muslim community and arab community is not

but the arabs did not. the state of israel was proclaimed on may fourteenth one thousand nine hundred forty eight by davi ben gori on. jewish residents celebrated but israel was immediately attacked by a coalition of neighboring arab states an armistice was declared nine months later . israel increased the size of its territory and an estimated seven hundred fifty thousand palestinians either fled their homes or were expelled. israel has successfully defended itself but even today many israelis fear for their existence they have now been several wars with arab states and frequent violent disturbances involving palestinians casualties on both sides the prospects for a peace agreement now seem remote mostly due to israeli settlements on palestinian land terrorist attacks and social and political divisions. time now to meet three israelis from three generations who tell us about their often complex relationship with their country. and. when i was always was born the state of israel didn't even exist today he's

bustin and christian and muslim arabs we are fifty point nine percent jews are forty nine point one percent what are they going to do with us other than creating extremism and then you know when violence spread and people are being killed and what side then israel would say all of these people have it in their d.n.a. or they are terrorists and so on. i have devoted twenty five years of my life in negotiations with israel to save lives resample athenians to live and let live we have who denies there's a right to exist we have accepted a palestinian state with is written as capital to live side by side in peace and security with a set of us around the one hundred seven lines. what good is a return more settlements more dictations more killing more murders more siege more closures more collective punishment on demolish and all these all these actions are being done in two thousand and eighteen by a member of the un and they call it the only democracy in the world this is its fascism and it never in the history of south africa darkest hours of apartheid where blacks prevented to use roa

iran is a conflict with just about he arab state.hink we should unite under president trump's leadership to get iran out of syria and stop iran's aggression. if you want to advance peace, that's how you advance it. by confronting the enemies of peace. judge jeanine: a strong israel? >> definitely. what happened with the arab state, they recognize israel is here to stay and they can't defeat it. so you make peace with them. it's called peace through strength. i am sure you have heard of that. judge jeanine: my thanks to prime minister netanyahu. and next i'll take you inside and next i'll take you inside the historic ceremony its so, i have this recurring dream. and next i'll take you inside the historic ceremony its i'm 85 years old in a job where i have to wear a giant hot dog suit. what? where's that coming from? i don't know. i started my 401k early, i diversified... i'm not a big spender. sounds like you're doing a lot. but i still feel like i'm not gonna have enough for retirement. like there's something else i should be doing.

while contemporary arabic art shares space with chinese sculpture.seum, it's a museum that takes you through time and through different geographies. you'll be able to see different cultures and different civilisations in contact with one another. in a way, to me, walking through the galleries is walking through time and seeing what's happening in different parts of the world at the same moment. there is a medina, or arabic village, feel to the layout and as for the architecture here, well, it's all about geometry and light. it's a dome symbolising islamic architecture, but as you can see, there is eight layers up there that allows the light to filter through and come down as you can see it, with what the architect calls the rain of light. so this whole display of the museum is in a way representing who we are as emiratis because we've always been in the middle of this region. the gulf has always been a connection of trade and different civilisations, so... going through this narrative allows you to capture the essence of who we are, the essence of wh

international criminal court if they can do anything about the thread that means you're telling the arab people the only way for you is do is while and the only way we're for you is to support extremism and that's what we've been fighting against as arabs because we we want to live and let live we want we want to human rights we want to human rights women's rights democracy the rule of law we want peace but with such actions such fascism such up our side being exercised by israel and israel getting away with it i think this is opening the get off in this region speaking about who is benefiting from it i think there is a deliberate effort on the israeli side now to paint all the gas the protesters as hamas which they clearly weren't having said that do you think there's any truth to the argument that hamas may find these demonstrations and the violence welcome distraction allowing it to refocus you know the growing frustration with that same group in gaza into anger against israel well i don't you know this is this is the israeli argument all the time israel is defending itself how many i
