that was his great affection for the hebrew university also. he wanted a place for jews to be professors. hebrew university is the center piece for his love of palestine as a place for them to find cultural refuge. >> you know he really disliked nationalism. >> yes. >> and that's what he felt israel might develop into. >> he said it quite explicitly. he said it as late as 1946, before the aglo american committee into the state of palestine. this is the committee in which richard crossman was in witcha. the idea of a state is hateful to me. two years before the founding of the state of israel. >> when whitesman died, who offered the presidency to einstein? >> bangurian. wouldn't that have been a disaster. >> there's the famous joke that he said, what do we do if he accepts? but because they considered him to be the greatest jew of the 20th century, they had no choice but to offer it to him. there was no danger he would have accepted. >> let's inquire about whether the world hasn't produced another einstein in the past hundred years. why is it on

university of jerusalem because the hebrew university of jerusalem now licensing agency run s attorneyond to sell the rights to the use of einstein'simage. the proceeds go to the university. am i right on that? >> yes. >> now, despite the fact that einstein himself had this to say about commercial endorsements. "it is -- is it not a sad meantair commentary onthe commercialition and i must add the corruption of our time that business firms make these offers with wanting to insult me? it evident i had means this corruption itis, is widespread." that makes it clear that he didn't want his name usedon any products, correct? >> he did not in his lifetime. i guess he had no control. >> he wanted to give it to the university, p"obly the central thinin s life. i don't think he imagined in his wildest dreams that i$ would turn into a corn that cope yaof endorsements. >> do you think hebrew university in jerusalem is exploiting einstein's image? >> i thk they are, shall i say, capitalizingon it. commercialized?@ >> apparently, they have the right to it if they want to. >> you think they have it

i don't speak hebrew. that was a conscious decision. to be working in syria or baghdad and speak arabic and have in the hebrew words creep into your arabic could immediately lender in prison, although i have to say that eventually in both iraq and iran , there were thrown in jail anyway. i have a great affection for israel. and i think that the parameters of the debate about the least and about the israeli-palestinian conflict is far more broad than the united states. my opinions are not particularly controversial. in jerusalem amongst most of friends. they are in the united states. the israelis favor as probably the best coverage of any paper in the country. all of these are written by israelis used. these are really to agree to a great journalists. they do is real credit. so i think that the frustration for many of us is that we saw possibilities in the relationship. i knew king hussein. the assassination, we watch that hope essentially vanished. israel, as the united states, as it to become captive to a really rapacious redwing. the

turkish names, english names , hebrew names or arabic names and so many civilizations say the book has to be readable from someone who knows nothing about the middle east lourdes jerusalem and did not read history books. mainly my mother. [laughter] that is why i designed it so it is in small sections. is a person to help make the city some way or another but those of the people to interest me and who i want to write about it is a section of biographies. they may have characters you have scarcely heard i'd like jesus christ. and of those tata characters like the travel writer, the arab night from the time of the crusade come as some of these people i have discovered. i am sure many of you have to be there but it is partly a very book i want to show the joy of reading and discovering maybe you go off and read more books or to the primary source of it catches your imagination. that is what i decided to do. the great challenge of course, is is both a blessing and curse that everybody feels jerusalem is partly owned buy them everybody has a vision even though you could be a secular person

jesus participated in both the aramaic and hebrew culture and its literatures, as well as the kind of hellenistic greek that he needed to do his business and his ministry. >> narrator: despite its greek and roman influences, sepphoris was a thoroughly jewish city. and jesus remained faithful to his religious heritage when he left nazareth to become a preacher. >> ( dramatized ): then he began to speak, and taught them, saying, "do not think i have come to abolish the law or the prophets. i have come not to abolish but to fulfill." >> what we learned from the gospel stories is not that jesus was not jewish. quite the opposite. he's completely embedded in the judaism of his time. >> was jesus a jew? of course jesus was a jew. he was born of a jewish mother in galilee, a jewish part of the world. all of his friends, associates, colleagues, disciples-- all of them were jews. he regularly worshipped in jewish communal worship-- what we call synagogues. he preached from jewish text, from the bible. he celebrated jewish festivals. he was born, lived, died, taught as a jew. nowadays, there ar

when you know hebrew it indicates something stable.most as if something without any variation, static, yes. why on actually there's the constant bleeding there's nothing stable and there's another thing. it is the divine decree that if no one had actually situated here it would limit, yes? we found ourselves in this an impossible situation as if no one had decided deliberately just for a small example or big example to put settlements in to certain places but we may be prevent any future for political compromise. they want to show how this jury charged situation which affects the life of one family not less than in the situation even more i must say. i also think that the greatest moments of mankind they don't have the battlefields or the corridors of parliament or rather in teaching and indifference and in rooms with children, and i try to show exactly what happens in these three rooms that are so heavily influenced by the situation. for many years i was unable to write such a story even though in the beginning of my career i like to

we see this particularly in the hebrew bible when we -- see elijah go to heaven on a chariot of fire. this has intacted the experience of the river for people. >> when we look at the region and put it into a contest of, we have islam, we have christianity, we have judyism. that's with the notion of place and what's layered on to the place. the theology and the spiritualty and the life of the people. why do you think that it's water and a river rather than a valley and a mountain top. what is it, do you think about the water and the river that evokes the different layers of what we may think of as politics and daily life? >> there are a few answers. first of all, a river can be a place that divides terrain and it can be a place of connection and crossing, where people come into contact with their neighbors and others and traditions, language and material, traditions move fluidly. also, addressing the question of why water. water, familiarly is understood to be purify,ing -- purifying. it's a transformative process. people are changed in the process of the crossing. in many cases, they

there are babylonian names, turkish names, english names, hebrew or arabic names and so on. so many civilizations, so the book had to be readable by someone who really knew nothing about the middle east, nothing about jerusalem and didn't read history books. namely, my mother. [laughter] and, um, and so that's why i designed it so that it's in very small sections, and each section is a person. and it's a person who helped make a city in some way or other. and basically, the great thing about being a writer is they're the people that interested me and i loved and i wanted to write about. so it's a biography, it's a collection of biographies as well. now, some of them, some obscure characters you may scarcely have heard of like jesus christ or david ben-gurion. and other of them, well known characters like the ottoman travel writer or osama, the arab knight and writer during the time of the crusades. and some of these people are people i discovered. i hadn't heard of them before, and i'm sure many of you haven't either. but it's partly a literary book, and partly i just wanted

in hebrew, yes? you know yes, we found ourselves in this impossible situation, as if no one has decided, just to give a small example, or a big example. to put settlements in certain places that will obstacle or maybe prevent any future sensible border, or a political compromise. i wanted to show how this very charged situation, how it affects the life of one family. i am fascinated by families. not less than i fascinated by myself, the situation, even more i can say. i always think that the greatest moments of mankind, they have not take care on the battlefield or in corridors of parliament or policies, but rather in teaching. and inventors and in rooms of children. and i tried to show exactly what happened in all these rooms that are so heavily influenced by the situation. for many years i was unable to ride such a story, even though in the beginning of my career i like to say this word, it sounds wonderful, career. no one ever sees career about the word of the writer. in america it goes well. then

i don't speak hebrew. that was a conscious decision because when i worked in the middle east, to be working in syria or baghdad and to speak arabic and have any hebrew words creep into your arabic could immediately land you in prison, although i have to say that eventually in both iraq and iran, i was thrown in prison anyway, or jailed for brief periods of time. i have a great admiration and affection for israel. and i think that the parameters of the debate about the middle east and about the israeli-palestinian conflict in israel are far broader than they are in the united states. my opinions are not particularly controversial. in jerusalem among most of my friends who sort of jan and for themselves another beer. but they are in the united states. the newspaper, the israeli newspaper, i think has probably the best coverage of the palestinians of any paper in the country. and all of these articles are written by israeli jews. danny rubinstein, gideon levy, these are really great, great, great journalist.

i mean, he comes on the scene as a prophet straight out of the hebrew bible.mean, at his first appearance in his hometown synagogue, he quotes the prophet isaiah. >> ( dramatized ): the spirit of the lord is upon me. he has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free. >> jesus goes into the synagogue. he takes the scroll of isaiah. he is literate-- of course he can read-- and he is a scholar. he can find his way around an unpointed hebrew scroll and find exactly the place he wants, and reads it and comments on it. jesus is a scholar. jesus is rather like luke, actually. >> narrator: tradition claims that the author of "luke" was a traveling companion of the apostle paul, and probably lived in one of the cities where paul founded a christian community. luke wrote a story about jesus, but he also wrote the book of acts, the story of the growth of the early church and its spread throughout the empire. >> ( dramatized ): it's very important to remember that the gospel of luke is only one-half of a ma

the women and children given to the hebrews. how do you reconcile those with your mob psychology group think? >> guest: i am not sure god commanding the israelites to go into a city and kill every living thing has anything to do with my book which is about politics and what i consider the beginning of the division between liberal and conservative fox. the french revolution and the american revolution. the salem witch trials, please check on google. it was about a dozen people and we still hear about it as if it was 9/11 every day. in point of fact the number of people who were killed -- of french men who were killed in the french revolution without a king who was fighting back was the equivalent in terms of population loss of this country having a 9/11 attack every day for seven years. that is the sort of mob bloodshed we are talking about with a mop revolt like the french revolution. by contrast the american revolution was, as i describe in contrast, a revolution of thinkers and debaters and christians. this was a heavily chris

when putting victorian at 10 she would say there is montefiore, what a grand old hebrew he established by the standards at the time is a great compliment. wouldn't go down so low today. but the point was england was in a strange situation at the time and it was a situation many of the leaders of written, aristocracy and the middle class for evangelicals and they believed absolutely in the return of the jews to israel, the recapturing of the jewish people, jewish jerusalem and ultimately this would accelerate, both the british control of the middle east and also the second coming. ms actually coincides very much with montefiore. he was very friendly with the leader and they were very similar. and in the 80s and turn it into jerusalem the first time, he was so worth week english gentleman who made his first fortune, who is jewish, but not particularly orthodox. he fell in love with jerusalem. went seven times. when he received his knighthood from victoria, he said as much prouder to see my banner written on it, flattering in the hall then i was to receive a title from the queen of englan

is not true in hebrew but in aramaic. in the lord's prayer, forgive us our trespasses is the anglican translation, earlier translation was forgive us our debts which is what it says in the air america. just as we forgive those who owe us money. the idea is we don't actually forgive those who owe us money it. do we? that theme shows up over and over again but is intensely ambivalent. like the beginning of plato's republic which begins me opening salvo of western political philosophy starts with this -- just this is a matter of paying your debt. socrates blows that out of water. that is ridiculous. if not that than what? that question is asked in almost all the great religions. if you go back to the origins of hindu philosophy they start with your life is a debt to the gods. we repay for that sacrifice. but that is not true at all. you also odette your parents which you repaid by becoming a parent. you repay the sages by becoming a sage. you repaid by realizing there isn't a debt. it raises the question how can you owe some

that's peculiar to both the hebrew and the christian bible. which was adopted by the enlightenment, the idea that, you know, we're getting better and better, that human progress is inevitable. it's a myth. you know, the greeks, most asian cultures see time as cyclical, that you have both within the individual and within civilizations a time of birth and maturation and decay and decrepe tuesday and death. and i think history bears that out. i don't think there's anything in human history or human nature to justify the idea that we are advancing morally as a species. that doesn't mean we don't make moral advances, we do, but we also make moral reverses. and i think what we've done is equate technological progress with moral progress, and that's very dangerous. that technology is an instrument that serves the ambitions of humankind, but i don't think human nature changes very much. and this being lulled into this false belief that science or technology will, for instance, save us from global warming is, essentially, the modern equivalent to the a

that's true in san script, it's not too in hebrew but it is true in aramaic. and the lord's prayer were says forgive us our trespasses, as the anglican translation, earlier translation was forgive us our debts which is ou actualy says in arabic but it says forgive us our debts just as we forgive those who owe us money. the idea is we don't actually forgive those who owe us when we really deserve it. [laughter] >> depends on how nice we are. >> yeah, there is a lesson. that theme shows up over and over again. it's a little bit like the beginning of plato's republic, opening western political philosophy, starts with this whole couple sang justice is just a matter of paying your debt. socrates blows that one out of the water right away. no, it isn't, that's ridiculous. okay, not that, then why? that question, is in a way asked in almost all the great religious works. if you go back to the origins of hindu philosophy company start with your life is a debt to the gods, you repay it through death. but then they make it clear that such would all. he also only debt to

when you look up that word in the hebrew text, you will find it means this.le, i'm trying to get your own views -- because if i may, let me go on to quote, you're also quoted as saying, god would never ordain the government to take from the rich and give to the poor, so therefore god is not a socialist. so do you think god is a republican? >> no. no, i don't. i don't think god is a democrat nor a republican. but god will certainly not do as obama is doing, you know, and the democrats are doing. god would never take from the rich to give to the poor. in other words, brooke, god does not have the robin hood mentality. that is a socialist mentality. there is no place in the bible, brooke, where god orders, even mandates, for the rich to give their money over to the poor or someone to take their money from them. what god has said is it is an individual thing, brooke. it is up to you and me and the rest of us out here to voluntarily on our own give to the poor. >> so we have an idea a little bit of some of your views when it comes to social issues. the next questi
