taking over parts of the west bank, that israel intends to integrate into israel.ably, they will ultimately annex in some fashion, as long as the u.s. continues to support it. and block them from the international community. am, as this whole month has unfolded in images of the carnage have spread around the world, what is your assessment of the impacts of the already abysmal relationship that exists between the united states government and the arab and muslim world? i'm thinking especially of the young arabs and muslims aroudn world who may not have been exposed to prior atrocities in this conflict. >> first, we have to sand wedge between muslim and arab populations. there is a striking difference. the governments are mostly dictatorships. when you read in the press that the arabs support us on is thato, what is meant the dictators support us, not the populations. are moderatelyps supportive of what the rest -- u.s. and israel are doing. that includes the dictatorship in egypt and saudi arabia. saudi arabia has been the closest ally in the region. they are the mos

we will do what we feel is right for israel. the israeli army and this whole operation started because we wanted to achieve two major goals, to diminish hamas' will and capability to fire rockets at israel and to destroy these horrible death tunnels which penetrate from gaza into israel and exit under kindergartens and schools right into israeli villages and cities. we feel that we have -- i expect the prime minister feels and the army feels that they've accomplished both those things. but i do not believe that at the end of the day this is the end of the conflict. you know, as winston churchill said, this may not be the end, it may not even be the beginning of the end, but it could be the end of the beginning. it could start a new chapter in which we, together with the united states and with the leadership of egypt and the region and other countries, like saudi arabia and the gulf states, who feel that we must put an end to this extremism and terrorism of hamas, will seek a totally new reality in the region, and this should inv

there is no conflict between israel and palestine israel palestine is a single unitary state and it is a conquest being carried out by the jewish state in order to dispossess and ghettoize as many palestinians as possible it's been going on for seventy years the population of the gaza strip are eighty percent refugees living in the second most overcrowded area on earth they are the victims of this ongoing campaign of dispossession and that's the root of their resistance when they turn to violence it is because of the seventy year legacy of dispossession we need to see that and the siege and the ongoing siege the eight year long siege of the gaza strip which is develop this area deliberately as part of seventy years of dispossession ghetto is ation an expulsion order to consolidate the ethnic purity of the jewish state morton. well of course this is utter nonsense. this is simply due to the palestinian arabs and the arab world's refusal to allow and accept jews living in their midst twenty two percent of israel are muslims and christians the arabs were offered a state in one nine hundre

had criticized israel?e story of this last weekend was after the last attack on a u.n. shelter, the u.s. said enough, and as soon as that happened, they stopped. >> that is a good illustration. about humanit is shields and we are trying to avoid human casualty. in that case, there were three guys on a motorcycle that they wanted to target. they could have waited a minute before they had driven on a bit and then attacked when no one else was around, but no. they attacked them when they are outside of a u.n. school sheltering 3000 displaced people. and surprise, surprise, many of those people are injured and killed. at that point, the u.s. said we have had enough. this is outrageous. they should have said that weeks ago. that may have pushed israel to stop these methods of warfare, but the reflex in washington is to support israel no matter what and to not talk about the way it's fighting, just to talk about self-defense and the hamas rocket attacks. yes, everyone wants to see the indiscriminate rocket attack

when the prime minister of israel says israel will regroup. i assume that means start drawing forces from gaza. what is your understanding now that apparently most, if not all of those, hamas tunnels from gaza into israel have been destroyed? >> first of all, they all have not been destroyed. >> most of them have been destroyed. >> a good number of them have been destroyed. the prime minister used the word redeploy. there is work still to be done in the gaza strip and the israeli troops will be on the perimeter of gaza. some will be inside of gaza. right now, there is a very large presence in southern gaza looking for our lieutenant goldin who has obviously been taken capture by the hamas. i think it is still a developing situation, but where we have finished our work, for example, in beit lahiya, israel told the palestinians to come back to the neighborhood because they finished the operation. >> that is in the northern territory. you used to be an israeli diplomat. why not send a team to cairo to meet with the new egyptian government of pres

in favor of israel.ut guess what? that's the way the media works. on the balance, i think it's a very tough battle to figure out who's ahead and it varies from moment to moment. you know, when you look at what happens, when israel was heavily criticized for some of the civilian casualties that came out of what they were doing, it was one thing. when the israelis were the recipients of 2900 missiles that were armed missiles, it went in the other direction. some people will call it bias, some people will call it reasoned judgment. >> rula, welcome live. my wife, erica, like you, i have a jewish spouse, to cancel our subscription to "the new york times" because she thinks it's biased against israel. you made a statement, very bold and powerful statement on msnbc that the media was biased against the palestinians in favor of israel. which is it in >> it's very simple. look at not only how much air time we give israeli officials versus palestinian officials. without challenging israeli positions, not on their

all respect israel's right to defend itself. for some perspective we have ronnie castrels, former member of the african national congress, antiapartheid caves. activist, we are glad to have you with us. why is it many searches identify with the palestinian -- south africans identify with the palestinian struggle for self determination? >> well, this is a just cause. stealing people's land, repressing them. that has to be answered with resistance. the palestinian resistance is being courageous, of course as a noble cause supported by the people. and we see in the way the israeli government occupies the territory to denude people of their human rights, does all these absolute barbaric things that we have seen on your very good program today, i mean, you're talking about ethnic cleansing. we're talking genocide -- we're talking infantocide -- >> there is a security problem that allows them no option but to deal it in this way? >> let's -- sorry, i know you've got to put the balance . let's put that aside. that is balderdash. this i

this government of israel, which put the extreme right in israel, with some openly fascist byments in it, but supported a majority of the israeli people , does not want to give up the occupied territories of the west , and indirectly occupied territories of gaza. .hat is the whole point if we are ready to give up this territory and allow the palestinians to set up their own nation state of palestine, then the problem is solved. there will be some discussions about details, about this part or that part. basically the problem would be solved and we shall have peace. but this government does not agree to give up the west bank. uphas but up -- it has put dozens of israeli jewish settlements, it is supporting these settlements, it is going to put up more settlements. if you put up settlements in the west bank, you cannot have a palestinian state. one must realize the west bank and gaza together, the occupied territories, altogether % of the historic land of palestine. i was a citizen of palestine before 1948. palestine of this country of palestine, 22% are occupied territories in which the

you see this framing as israel versus hamas. kind of frame this as this is a war that israel is having against hamas not against the palestinians. and i see a lot of jews kind of forming this kind of opinion. no we aren't pro-palestine, not supporting the are situation. >> i'm going to put this conversation on pause. still ahead, is the next generation of jewish americans upholding their parents' values water for coal only on al jazeera america >> it's really the duty ofamerin obligation to be critical of that israeli government because what the israeli government does, they do in our name. i think particularly young american jews are becoming much more critical. >> welcome back. we're discussing how the gaza-israel crisis has impacted the american view of the situation. pro-palestinian, pro-israel what do you think about that? >> i consider myself pro-israel and pro-palestine, i want to see peace between these sides. you can be both and the majority of american jews are. >> cory. is there a widening generational shift on the pa

israel knows the numbers. meanwhile, how many palestinians has israel killed? up until now 1,700 people while we killed by israel's own admission 63 soldiers. we killed soldiers, combatants, while they kill civilians. >> because -- because you're firing your rockets from civilian neighborhoods, that's where you are firing your rockets from, your rockets are firing indiscriminantly to tel aviv and jerusalem. president obama says you are firing from civilian neighborhoods and you know what that means, that you'll have high civilian casualties. critics say you are doing this to get the international sympathy because of the high civilian casualties. >> translator: it is unfortunate that the u.s. administration and president obama have adopted the israeli narrative, which is a lie. hamas sacrifices itself for its people and does not use its people as human shields to protect its soldiers. these are lies and hamas does not seek international sympathy through its own victims. >> what are you prepared to do to get a cease-fire? are you prepared to destroy your tunnels?

styming israel. that's what matters opinion here. will israel be allowed to defend itself? not asking for american troops never in all the five wars never. it simply asks its american friends to understand that it is the subject of a war crime war and needs to defend itself. it's got no other option. geraldo, if we were getting rockets to new york and washington, do you have any doubt that we would be counter attacking? and if the enemy had their rockets hidden in cities, would we not, tryings to to go after missile sites the answer is yes. >> charles, thank you very much. >> it's a pleasure. >>> most americans are firm in their support of israel. there are some cracks within the jewish community itself. i'll talk about it with the one and only professor allen dershowitz after this. showitz a huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know words really can hurt you? what...? jesse don't go! jesse...no! i'm sorry daisy, but i'm a l

how dare you call israel an apartheid state? arabs and jews work together, live together, serve in the kndnesset together. >> i hope i get a chance to respond to this. >> they left behind all of the greenhouses, hamas turned them into terrorist rockets. shame on you for calling israel an apartheid state. you have become part of the problem, not part of the solution, marc. >> your moral censure aside, i'd like to respond to that. looking now there's first, second and third class citizenship for israelis, arab-israelis and palestinian-israelis. >> please, alan, let marc respond. >> i'll just wait for him, are you done? thank you, sir. if you're talking about occupation moving, ending in 2005, right now gaza is still controlled by land, by air, by sea, israel still has a blockade, controls the population registry, still controls the electromagnetic sphere and controls movement and still controls the entering and leaving for palestinians and still controls the construction of supplies and controls the batter, the food that comes in,

but america supports israel. americans support israel.kerry supports israel. >> quickly, elise. >> alan, it is true that israel obviously is a democracy and has a free press. but these were leaks that were coming from israeli officials. and the administration felt that this was a message that was put out by the israeli government that the united states did not have israel's best interests at heart. and given all the support that the u.s. has given israel over the years, i think they just took a lot of offense to that. >> peter, the secretary has said that he is trying to build some momentum, some good will on each side. but the israelis have insisted that they want complete demilitarization of gaza. is this a non-starter for gaza, a non-starter for palestinians? >> i would be thrilled to see gaza demilitarized. the question is who is going to do it? israel is not going to go house to house throughout the gaza strip and demilitarize it. is the u.n. going to do it? you cannot ultimately separate the military problem, which is these weapons,

and they do support israel because they think israel can be a safe basis for them in what is a way to the region what they're called me hope against just the revulsion of ordinary people so that's why you have a potion of pressure on governments you know even the fact that the u.n. is forced by ki-moon is forced to describe what's happening as a war crime they are somewhat you developments and it's linked to i mean the scale of the horror of what israel has gone but also the fact that people have mobilized around the world well israel has agreed to a three day cease fire and also pulling its troops out of gaza does that mean that israel has sort of given in to the international pressure i think it's too early to say well what happened we've seen a preview cease fires that were then broken by israel to say may happen again let's hope that the cease fire holds and i think. israel i mean the israeli establishment at home will try to present this as excess but it's a truly difficult to do so i mean there is no guarantee of peace or security or rising living standards for ordinary is ready

not just israel but jews. so in the sense from my point of view, if it is going to be quiet in israel, it will be quiet in gaza. as simple as it gets. we really want to use this time to try and do something we haven't done in the past. that is to demilitarize gaza on the one hand. but be connected to the reconstruction of gaza. this time without terror tunnels, without thousands of missiles and without the money that was given by good people and basically, go to the people gaza, but went to hamas. we definitely have something against terror organization. >> what would demilitarize look like to you? since hamas doesn't seem interested in laying down arms. >> it is very simple. instead of investing money in missiles, we will invest in kindled gardens and schools and hospitals and create a situation where a gaza from an economic point of view, would blossom. it can become, continue he had of a launching pad, missiles against israel, funded by those with the amazing donation. that money could go into good causes f

where there was attempts to say israel had hit a hospital. israel didn't. then you had another case in a refugee camp where a number of children were killed. again, islamic jihad missile. then a third case saying we hit an open market. the problem is these things are said. there's a rush to judgment without knowing the facts. i think that's wrong. i think it was mark twain who said a lie goes halfway around the world before the truth gets its boots on. everyone should relax. and then you'll know -- people will know what i know, which is no military has done more to put civilians on the other side out of harm's way. and this is happening, i heard something else, in the statement. what we do in afghanistan what we do in iraq. israel is under assault. we've had 3,000 rockets every single day. we have two-thirds of our people in bunkers. so imagine how the united states would reaction if 200 million americans were sitting in bunkers. i don't think they would use less force than israel was using. >> this is the number two guy at the united nations and the u.n. d

israel. thatnk it is important palestine may be treating this agreement as an occupied state. that is very important. since the unesco membership and join international treaties, cents 2014, about four months, as we know, palestine identified 50 international treaties. many of these treaties, as i mentioned, have a prediction of human rights -- have the protection of human rights in palestine. treaties will provide palestine to demand from israel and other states to a baby rule of law. -- a baby rule of law. icj sre parties to the tatute. members of the united nations can also be admitted the generalision of assembly upon recommendation of the security council. -- u.s. is likely to general assembly would not be able to approve an application to join the icj without the security council recommendation. however there is a way may be to find a way out of this. [indiscernible] if we allow countries to join that accord, when searching the resolution of conflicts by peaceful means. if icj will not

to obliterate israel. it wants to destroy the jews. it even suggests trees and inanimate objects will speak out and call out if the jews are hiding behind them so they can be killed by thoserighteous. it is a sick twisted perverted ideology, a religion hijacked by radicals and manifests itself in different forms. muslim brotherhood, islamic jihad, isis, al qaeda, and we actually go into the history tonight. >> 10:00 p.m. tonight, hannity will be aired from israel. tomorrow night is the night we're all looking forward to seeing the interview with prime minister netanyahu. 10:00 tonight and don't miss tomorrow night. thank you, sean. >> great work, greta. great work last night. i was watching what you're doing. >> nothing like what you're doing. thank you. >> thank you. appreciate it. >>> >>> joining us from new york is am b ambassador in new york. >> good evening. >> what is the impact of what's going on? you have the secretary general, ban ki-moon saying israel is guilty of war crimes in gaza. put those tw

israel lobby. also an overall tip of the to what are called radical islamists or jihad this fairly or not hamas is assimilated to groups like isis. and so they are considered fair game for israel's basically israel's murder and also i think there was a hope on the part of president obama and secretary of state kerry that if hamas military defeat were inflicted on hamas that means president. of the palestinian authority would then have a free hand to sign any agreement that the u.s. government proposed to. the palestinian authority are basically collaborators not basically they are collaborators they still have the problem of the more militant resistance namely hamas but the hope was is if israel disabled hamas then the palestinian collaborators the palestinian authority would then have a free hand to basically surrender to israel and sign to carry for proposal and of course it all kind of stems back to the hamas election i mean according to a two thousand a wiki leaks cable after hamas was elected

israel. we're in tel aviv tonight and four days after heavy violence between israel and hamas, benjamin netanyahu addressed reporters yesterday to not only express deep regret for every civilian casualty but also to defend his country's response to the hamas terror attacks. i sat down for a one-on-one interview with the minister. let's take a look. >> mr. prime minister, great to see you again. >> good to see you, sean. welcome to israel. >> it's been a rough five weeks for you. >> for everybody. >> everyone. >> every interview that you have given and yesterday in your press conference you challenged the world to put themselves in israel's position. what would you do if your country were attacked by 3500 rockets? what would you do if tunnels of terrorists were built to attack your citizens? i want you to expand on that. >> well, i think we're in a terrible conflict with a terrible enemy and we regret -- i personally regret and the people of israel regret every civilian casualty that we have.

towards israel. earlier in the day anecdotally i heard from a palestinian friend who has a home near the border crossing with egypt. his wife had found him urgently and her words she said the israelis were shelling in that area around rafa. that is what we're also hearing now from the palestinian health authority. they say the shelling in southern gaza this morning after the supposed start of cease-fire. at least four palestinians were killed and 15 others were wounded in that shelling. >> all right. so, carl. let's just reset for a second. you're safe where you are, i assume, so i'll keep you on the phone. the video we're showing you is footage from palestinian television during a period that there was supposed to be a cease-fire. karl, what you are saying, after the cease-fire was supposed to begin you saw tanks from israel maneuvering and saw them firing, is that accurate? >> reporter: that is absolutely correct. we were in a position approximately 700 yards from the border. we observed israeli ta

in favor of israel. they are losing very badly and i think that's an important arena and people certainly think they should continue to do that. i'm not sure this would be a significant turning point as 2009 but i think it will be significant. as some of you may have noticed there was an article a couple of days ago by horowitz in which a journalist commented that exactly zero, exactly zero celebrities have come out for israel. it's been a disaster for them. there have been a lot who have come out for the palestinians of some stature. i've never heard of them. who? yes, the only celebrity that came out for israel is joan rivers. [laughter] israel, i would probably try to conceal that. so those are all arenas. i don't think it's enough for sure but it's certainly a place where i think it's good to keep up the fight. >> thank you for the work that you do. there were some questions about. [inaudible] by supporting companies that regularly support the occupation. do you have ideas and a practical sense that

and israel and must stop. military operation must be proportionate and in line with international law.nitarian civilians must be protected at all times. let me take this opportunity to icularly in the presence its work partner for on the ground. of ondemn the shelling schools and it is unacceptable that innocent displaced were taking shelter in clearly identified nd designated u.n. areas after being called on by the israeli military to evacuate their homes killed. we call for these incidents to to nvestigated and results be published. there must be justice for the victims and international a collective responsibility. we also extend our condolences of anra milies personnel who lost their lives condemn theacks and missing of rockets and other militant groups in u.n. premises. vialability must be protected. this tragic escalation and toll previous ds that of outbreaks of violence should ensurehen our resolve to this never recurs. in order for the cease-fire to must acknowledge that the situation in gaza is unsus

what can israel do to alleviate that? >> well, we agreed -- as you know, wolf, we agreed to a three-day cease-fire for humanitarian purposes. it had all been organized by secretary ban ki-moon of the united nations and secretary kerry of the united states and we were told as of yesterday morning we were supposed to start a three-day humanitarian cease-fire for the people of gaza so that they could receive the immediate and important humanitarian support that they so badly need. who torpedoed that? hamas that deliberately undermined and destroyed the cease-fire. and so i think if there's a terrible humanitarian situation there in gaza there is only one address for that complaint and that is hamas that destroyed the chance of a humanitarian cease-fire that would have allowed aid to reach the people of gaza immediately. >> hamas is part of a palestinian dellgation that's now in cairo getting ready to meet with egyptian officials to talk about a cease-fire. i take it no israeli delegation is going even though the egyptian gov

so as having an image with massive arabs against israel to become little but strong because israel now was an occupation of territories of several million. instead of people who were trying to deny the jews a state of their own but to deny and other people was state of their own. said without whole conflict was given a different look but this was not a sufficient explanation of the hostility against israel today. because maybe the world came to care about with the aspirations because no one cares about other occupations. but to exercise the occupation of tibet? a far more outstanding and preoccupations and the palestinians and in terms of the national aspirations what about the kurds whose aspirations in it justifiable in every dimension. for thorough culture or knowledge headnote country of their own. sadly no one cares before they denied those aspirations. and really it cannot begin with the attitudes we see today. has manifested and inconsistency was right in the demonization of israel that we see so much. for example, the teacher unions have voted for academic boycotts of israeli u

patience with israel appears to be wearing thin. >> reporter: as israel presses the offensive against hamas in gaza, historic ties with the united states are fraying. some say to a new low. >> the relationship is one between two very close allies and there are tensions between them at this moment. >> reporter: in one of the toughest u.s. attacks on israel during the obama administration, the state department called the latest shelling on a school in gaza appalling and as casualties mount said there should be a change in israeli behavior. >> when you have a situation where innocence civilians are killed in gaza, there's more that israel can do to hold themselves to their own standards. >> reporter: sharp criticism rarely heard when israel is engaged in battle. >> we do hold ourselves to a high standard and when innocent civilians are caught up it's a failure from our point of view. >> reporter: they're said to be furious with the long time supporter. they quoted benjamin netanyahu as saying to the obama administration not to ever second guess me again when it comes to hamas. netanyahu

would you support israel?ill you stand together with israel, democratic, ethical state, which is trying to defend citizens or do you stand idle in the face of murderous terrorist organizations which kills our people and inflicts cruelty upon its own citizens. citizens of israel, our army continues to work toward the compilation of this operation. after completion of destruction of the tunnels, we will regroup according to our security needs and only according to our security needs, while our overall goal is to restore calm and peace for you, citizens of israel. >> so there he is, the prime minister of israel making a statement, saying once the tunnels are destroyed, he says israel will begin the process of redeploying presumably, begin the process of removing the ground forces who have gone into gaza and the defense minister, by the way, of israel is now speaking, but a significant statement from the prime minister saying that he believes most of the operation, military operation against the tunnels, against a

not just israel. there's been tensions between the egyptian government and the administration, the saudi government and the administration, even the palestinian authority. i think people are generally on a better page today, the same page. there's a general understanding that any cease-fire has to enable israel to continue to identify and locate the tunnels, destroy the tunnels. any cease-fire cannot create a situation in which hamas can declare victory. and hopefully the cease-fire will be the first step toward the demilitarization of the gaza strip. similar to the way that syria was deprived of its chemical weapons is a good precedent for this. this is the official position both the israeli government and the egyptian government would support it from some unlikely governments including the saudi government in the gulf. >> viewers know this is what israel wants. they want the rockets to stop firing into their country, they want the tunnels to shut down which hamas uses to terrorize israel. and they w

>> is your support of israel different than your parents' support of israel? >> certainly.arents feel that the violence is more justified than i do. >> reporter: among americans 65 or olders 53% blame the militant group hamas for the violence in gaza. that's compared to 21% of americans under 30. 15% of americans over 65 blame israel compared to 29% of americans under 30. a divide reflected between children and their parents. >> i honestly understand where my dad is coming from, but i don't agree with it. >> reporter: dr. malone ben mir says the holocaust in world war ii directly influenced many older people's unyielding support of israel. >> they see israel as the final refuge, the only refuge for the jews. and hence, regardless of almost wrongdoing, they feel it is justified. >> reporter: 65-year-old jerry believes young people who question the military's actions do so because they lack context. >> when they turn on the tv and the news media tells them about, you know, 58% negative, 85% negative, that's the way they react. >> reporter: many young people, the so-called mil

israel said before the truce ended israel -- the two rockets were fired into southern israel, something hamas denies. the military vowed to resume fighting if israel did not lift the blockade of gas za. this story has 45i rapidly changing development. we have reporters covering it. john vause is in gaza. matt through chance is there and reza sayah is in cairo. we'll be live to all of them later in the newscast. >>> u.s. president barack obama says he has authorized targeted airstrikes in iraq. mr. obama says the airstrikes will be launched only if necessary to protect american personnel and to help iraqis. there are no indications that any airstrikes have been carried out. mr. obama's announcement came after they announced they were performing an air drop. the air drop is to help groups stop facing possible starvation. >>> it was last week when they stormed the town of sinjah. now thousands of people are trapped without food, water or shelter in the intense iraqi summer heat. here's what president obama had to say about that. >> when we face a situation like we do on that mountain with
