they live outside of bethlehem. they are optimistic or hopeful about peace.ou define peace is the question. i think there are few israelis and palestinians who want war. it's how you define the terms of peace. the issues are land, refugees and the idea of jerusalem being shared or not. poles showed a majority on both sides still support two states. however, the same poles showed very little optimism on israelis or palestinians. we've been told this is the time, we are going to give you a peace deal, and it doesn't work out. i hope they don't give up on this. the negotiations are going on. they're supposed to give us framework in the middle of this year. i love to be an optimist and hope that perhaps this might be the time. >> i feel like that optimism ebbs and flows. everything time you think something positive is going to happen it gets dashed. >> it's hart breaking at times. >> absolutely. thank you. >>> next, paul ryan's war on the war on poverty. read between the lines on who's really being targeted in the budget chief's plan.

the bethlehem steel workplace. basically, pressed for some white-collar jobs and whatnot. it in the process of doing all of that, i got the sense in lateca that -- this is the 1960's with a lot of racism going on and a lot of organizing going on. there was a lot of activities that were actually just kind of undermining the efforts the people in the black community was making to improve their lives. so as i went on, i said, ok, so more serious kind of organizing needs to happen to improve the conditions in the black community. i looked at all of the different organizations and the black panther party represented at least a serious attempt to start feeding the children, to start educating the population, to start organizing health care and stuff like that. so i joined and started working with them. i did not discover until later on that the chapter was organized by national security agent and police informants and so on. that kind of work. in the process of doing the kind of work, i think some of the most active people in the organization was targeted, followed around by the
