claims but it seems israel knows. that the real guilt and the real responsibility for what crimes is on its side and that's why it's trying to come up with every knothole excuse and legal technicality including this hilarious wand. but the palestinian authority has given up sovereignty over the land where the settlements the build up to built what about annex since that the u.s. and our robbie robbie sable to respond to. us allow robbie's able to respond before we. and back at toby cadman into the conversation robbie sable your response to that your issues just goes ok bye that's very interesting there's not a single israeli soldier a single israeli settlers in gaza it's under the law of hamas the belittled from us at their own court so the militia somehow becomes welcome i tell you is this thing on the contrary they initiated book its attacks against israel is all about israeli occupation and said to me that you may consider it hilarious but they are also be assigned by the p.l.o. or else which she greet agreed that

you are a big supporter of the state of israel, the people of israel, you go to israel often, why is that? >> i've been to israel 42 times. i have known prime minister netanyahu since 1985. we are personal friends. he's been in my home, he has spoken in my church, i consider him one of the great leaders in the history of israel. the reason that christians support israel is because the bible supports israel. the bible presents israel as the sovereign state the god created. israel is the only state in the history of the world created by a sovereign act of god. god in genesis 12 made a covenant with abraham, i will bless you, i will make your name great, i will bless your children with the jewish people, your children will bless the nations of the earth and then, in the 17th chapter, he made a covenant, a blood covenant, god did, with abraham and god called him to put five animals on the ground in a blood covenant and he walked between the separated pieces reciting the covenant which was to give the land of israel to the jewish people forever. it was an unbreakable covenant. there are t

israel and the embassy going in, and it became jerusalem, the capital of israel? or the golan heights?" he said, "neither." i said, "what do you mean 'neither,' sheldon?" he said, "the biggest thing you did for israel was breaking up and terminating the horrible, one-sided, catastrophic deal that was made by president obama." [applause] right? i said, "i never thought of it that way, sheldon, but i agree with you. if you want to know the truth, i agree with you." we paid $150 billion to ran. $1.8 billion in cash. we got nothing. but that's a different country today. that doesn't mean they're going to come out and hit. and they might, and they might not. but they have riots all over their country. they don't have money. we put sanctions on them, the strongest sanctions ever imposed on a country. and let's see what happens. [applause] their gdp went down 25% this year. 25. nobody has ever even heard of that. so we'll see. and you know what? we can never give them a nuclear weapon. we can never do that. we can never do that. [applause] but maybe we'll be able to make

israel understands this language only, it will not be deterred except if we are strong. what if israelif israel or the us attacked iran, its nuclearfacilities, would you then use your weapons against israel? translation: i don't know what could happen. i do know that any initiation of the school would ignite the whole region to stop those who would undertake the aggression we take a big responsibility, also responsibility for very large scale reactions. that sounds like a threat to me? you can interpret it as you wish, but it is not about a threat or lack of, we have the right to defend ourselves in confronting israel. that was hezbolla's deputy leader, naim qassem speaking to my colleaguejeremy bowen. if you're travelling on the west coast main line over the next few days, you may notice some changes. virgin trains, a familiar sight on the route between london and glasgow, is disappearing after more than 20 years, to make way for a new operator. remember those days? tony blair in no 10 and the spice girls were the biggest band in the world. that year, virgin won one of the first franc

ways and israel isn't following the laws of israel either netanyahu is just an indicted for corruption this isn't even he does have a legitimate government party can't even for majority i'm not legitimate it's israel we're talking about this is benjamin netanyahu is. not just anybody he was granted by the almighty a pair of pecs infused with lightning in a forehead of steel. as for these phony charges the netanyahu nater is prime minister to him it goes without saying that he cannot commit a crime the ethnic and class based hierarchical regime in israel rests on the assumption that it is not what you do that is important but what matters is who you are. one of those a crazy question what about the palestinians don't they have a right to be there too sure they do yeah just so long as they abide by laws dictating which buses they can take who they can marry where they can own property and are ok with getting their houses forcibly rebottle every now and again. everybody. will now turn to a city in texas where thousands were evacuated due to a chemical disaster for more on this raging cont

and others and in the case of israel i believe that this is a. major challenge for a number of reasons one of them of course is that. up until recently the argument was that wall even you know when. the united states is is not able to recognize the army in genocide for political considerations imagine the situation of israel in the region and therefore the importance of turkey for israel and that's one of the reasons why you know israel is not able to recognize the army genocide other arguments that have been presented have been the jewish minority in turkey and others or to pascal a few years though many. jewish american organizations and other organizations have changed their position increasingly on the recognizing their i mean genocide and within the israeli knesset itself efforts to pass a resolution recognizing the army genocide has gained greater momentum i do believe that this is a tremendously important challenge for for israel and i do believe that for a for. for the for the for the for israel that is that sees itself as. you know havin

boycott of israel that the e.u. is opposed to the usa is not only supporting israel's illegal actions against international law it's juggling down on it we've now declared the settlements are not per se illegal under international law because for the 1st time in 40 years the usa now explicitly instead of implicitly supporting the violation of international law when it comes to palestine the palestinians call it a war crime but joining me now from tel aviv is israeli diplomat danny ion former israeli.

and that fence israel when does it take in the whole issue of palestine off the table for israel the only think of all. of you so we have to talk about the right ok great so you know. theologically assuming the verity of this image of a lot of human ish mad is included in the blessing and in the promise of the multiplication this is biblical to the problem is if you try and you do succeed in having an ideology imposed on politics or a mixture of dangerous mixture of both and this is by the way for all christians muslims and jews it's not forget it was almost more than 400 years ago in the of 68 approximately he allowed the jews back in jerusalem they were prohibited from living in jerusalem for about 5 centuries. at the 67 they demolished the model comported to expand the area in front of the western wall. your daughters demolishing everything historical buildings including the mall school during school and they have ultimately used graders to so that they would level that none. of us would buy the idea that we have well defined quarters all the way from lions gate to a wet street yo

[laughter] u.s. supreme court justices, stephen breyer and the notorious rpg were ranked 18th collectively. [laughter] facebook's mark zuckerberg and cheryl were ranked as 35th. [laughter] so the big question i have on my mind is, is it a blessing or burden when your parents look at that list and say well, that's great barry but you should have ranked higher. [laughter] >> i would like to think my mother who didn't -- who did everything in my dad who's been almost like aat father to me. [laughter] my entire life is a blessing. my entire life would have been absolutely unimaginable to my great-grandparents. or even to my grandmother who's sitting here in the front row to whom this book is dedicated. my inheritance was sort of unbelievable and not any financial sense, in the sense that i was born in this country in sort of the golden age for american. i was born after the feminist broke down barrier

when does it take in the whole issue of palestine off the table for israel only would think about. you know we have to talk about all right ok great so you know. assuming the video of the argument is included in the blessing and in the promise of the multiplication this is. the problem is if you try and you do succeed in having an ideology imposed on politics or a mixture of dangerous mixture of and this is by the way for all christians muslims and jews it's not forget it was. more than 400 years ago and the of 6058 approximately he allowed the jews back in jerusalem they were prohibited from living in jerusalem for about 5 centuries. and they demolished the model to expand the area in front of the western wall. demolishing everything historical buildings including the mall school to the school and to have ultimately used to grade those 2 so that they would live in that month. tourists would buy the idea that we have well defined quarters all the way from lyons b. to a where st you have basically major christian sites. that are muslim families for example who live in the christian

israel's leader benjamin netanyahu has thanked his they could party members and promised to lead them to election victory after he fended off a leadership challenge his rival gideon sard hope to convince members that it was time for change ahead of what will be the 3rd general election in less than 12 months however they stuck with netanyahu despite his indictment for corruption there is a heavy police presence in india's capital new delhi as more people protest against the controversial citizenship law demonstrators a gathering outside the state building and at the pradesh calling on police to stop using excessive force in them with piron is there for us police to detaining any protesters who come to work there for their house here in the capital new delhi they've imposed a ban on public gatherings no more than 4 people are allowed to gather there detaining anyone who comes even if they come on their own there are also protests taking place elsewhere in new delhi and around the thing for the moment by in the south and in how much of. the citizenship you know it was cost and rights gr

in lebanon israel. society is the default right so choosing to step out of that is is choosing to be different and to define yourself as different and it has different consequences that are beyond prison it's choosing to be an outsider that is the problem there it's just a feeling that's there and it's and it's heavy and sure but it's nothing right i did that for a few months palestinians sit in prison before they're even convicted in most cases just for the duration of the trial and for years on when they are sentenced right don't you think that these measures make the people of jerusalem fisi 1st but building walls check or in more like a military police the we live in the state of fear and we are told to continue to be afraid regardless of what the reality is and i think that this is very strong within the israeli mentality i mean security we need to be strong we need to have. we need to be always in control and so on it's also very evident within the education system the holiday system and so on eve

>> i think the united nations is overly focused on israel.ll i did was defend it whenever they were called out.th >> do you thin the u.n. is an effective actor in international relations? >> i think the u.n. can be an effective actor, and the perfect example is what we did with north korea. when we passed those three sanctions that really pushedth them tnegotiating table, that was a sign that the united nations can do good things. when they go and continue to have these irrelevant meetingsth on issue aren't really our main focus ithe world, that's when they become irrelevant. >> sthen, on north korea -- so, in recent days, rsader kim jong-un has visited mount paektu on ack. it's a backdrop that is used for propaganda, and oftentimes, it foreshadows a policy development or an event,n upcoming event. what do you think is going onea in north kight now? >> i think he's trying to push our buttons. i think he's trying get us to move on the fact that he wants us to lift the sanctions. t any sort of ing is not going to get us to move,m and we have e

says it's an un justified inquiry that unfairly targets israel this is a dark day for truth and justice. the i.c.c. prosecutor has apparently decided not to dismiss outright the palestinian claim against the state of israel this is a baseless and outrageous decision the court has no jurisdiction in this case the i.c.c. only has jurisdiction over petitions submitted by sovereign states but there is never been a palestinian state. crowns in india have again defied a ban on public gatherings to continue their protests against a new citizenship law rallies were held in new delhi and elsewhere with protesters saying the law is anti muslim thousands of people have been rallying in beirut against the nomination of lebanon's next prime minister and they are as promising to form a technocratic government of experts within 6 weeks to solve the country's economic crisis poland's parliament has defied a warning from the e.u. and passed a nought that would see judges punished of the critical of court reforms the judicial changes have sparked protests in poland well those are the headlines on al-jaze

and he would curse those who curse israel. i want to thank you, mr. president, for being the kind of president that has the courage to stand up and lead when it comes to israel on the right side of history, but most importantly you are on the right side of god. that is why you are not going to fail and were going to stand behind you 100%. thank you mr. president. 465 of my 81 years, i have spent at universities, all over the country and all over the world, there is no more important event in those 65 years to turn universities away from being bastions of hatred and discrimination, then this executive order being signed today. it is a game changer. it will go down in history as one of the most important events in the 2,000 year battle against anti-semitism. thank you, mr. president. you did a great job. the people who helped you do this did a great job. you will be remembered by history for all time for having signed this very important order. >> president trump: thank you.
