benjamin netanyahu has been saying for some time that's what he wanted. this is now met with and embraced from the other side. did you get any sense today there was movement or was it just more talk? >> i think on the one hand the two leaders managed to bury or to hide their differences. they didn't manage to resolve them. the main difference is not over whether there will be direct talks or not. the main issue which we're going to confront if not today in a few months down the road is what the two parties, what the u.s. and israel believes is right for the peace process, how far israel is prepared to go and at what pace. on that issue both sides at this point are prepared to say let's sort of ignore our different substantive views and address a very different issue. that will confront them either in september if direct talks begin or down the road. but ultimately they're not going to be able to ignore what is at root what the reason for the disagreement in the past which is they don't have the same vision about how quickly and what direction the peace pr

a different view in the case of the palestinians you've stated that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu his first term of office was characterized by the deceit of the american president clinton and also attempts to destroy the peace process do you believe that the strategy continues now in his second term of office he's saying to a group of settlers he doesn't think he's being filmed he doesn't realize he's being filmed but he tells the this group of settlers exactly what he did in his first term in the late ninety's during the all slow process and that what he did was to deceive bill clinton to give it away very small areas of occupied territory in return for agreements that they wouldn't have to give much larger areas of occupied territories and thereby destroy the whole principle of the overall slow process and of course although he doesn't say it that very much explains the palestinian reaction which led to the second intifada course this palestinians are very aware that netanyahu wasn't giving anything away let's be clear it wasn't just netanyahu of course this this whole process

israeli ambassador speak and then and afterwards they're going to have israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu speak a number of interfaith groups muslims jews christians saying that this is not true that this is you know god did not choose only the americans and only the israelis as the. we are people of the world there's an international community there are dying they're being maimed as a result of us foreign policy and israeli policies in the middle east so i mean for the most part anytime you have the u.s. and israel get together on a summit or some kind of conference you will have demonstrations and that's been taking place in the last three days during the summit that's definitely interesting i mean i love america but you know sometimes you have to be a little realistic and perhaps not always get got to the story ok that was john obvious going to say well we've got one more segment ahead on tonight's show the head of the g.o.p. and the house of representatives has a warning for all public and congressman we'll tell you why he's worried about sexy lobbyists just ahead and have you ever he

chose to publish it on its front page, above the fold, on the very day that prime minister benjamin netanyahu visited the white house. the "times" article is a textbook case of the media's ideologically motivated aggression against the middle east reality. any way you look at it, it is a premeditated affront to the very notion that the role of a newspaper is to report facts rather than manufacture news aimed at shaping perceptions and skewing debate. the article goes to great lengths to discredit the american citizens who make charitable tax deductible donations to organizations that provide lawful support to jewish communities in judiea and sue hera and jewish neighborhoods in southern, northern, and eastern jerusalem. it paints a sinister picture of such contributions and contributors and accuses them of actively undermining u.s. foreign policy. the contributors, we are told in the opening lines of the report, are the left's bookymen, evangelical christians and religious jews. they are unacceptable actors in the middle east because they believe the jewish controlled judiea and sue hera is a
