david michaelis at link tv and he comes with west jerusalem and i come from west jerusalem, so we come from the same seat. but in reality, two different worlds. >> i was born in jerusalem and i've been living there all my life, since 1945. five years ago i came to the united states to launch a tv channel. and that's how i met jamal dajani. he challenged me to think about solutions that hadn't been discussed until now. and one day we said, well, we should test it on the ground. >> the reality there is very harsh. but why don't we go over there and do it. >> we are here in a bubble. afafter somemetime off woworkin together with jamal i said let's ddo this in california. you only have to choose in t th neighborhoodod what kind off la you want in the morning. >> when i i go there i'm always eaeager to go to my peoplple, t neighborhohood. i want to o have the least interaction with the israelis as possibible. >> manany israraelis don't't wa know about ppalestinis.s. they don't wantt to reach out. they don'n't wantt to cross in strereets and neigighborhoods w the palestiniaians live because

in jerusalem the successful missionary was received with suspicion. also himself as both a christian and a jew. but his visit to the temple the holiest site in judaism sparked a scandal. in the bible it says that paul was accused of taking a gentile into the holy part of the temple complex and thereby desecrating it. a crime that was punishable in jewish law by the death penalty. how does this tie to the small denies having made this mistake it would be extraordinary if he had been good but he was mistrusted by other followers of christ who were more protective of the temple i didn't want it opened up to pagans and by jews who were skeptical of christ and such as the pharisees sadducees fazio's i don't see encountered mistrust everywhere and so from stone the argument in jerusalem used to discredit another jew was that he was not abiding by jewish rules so it seems plausible that the accusation against him was fabricated for conciliatory. facing threats to his life in jerusalem paul was taken into protective custody by a roman officer he was practices

both jews and arabs were officially stateless both saw jerusalem as the holy site. for the jews it was the historic eternal home arabs who are now the majority in palestine but the jews proverbial longing for zion remained. three centuries before danny and giles family had joined the small jewish presence in jerusalem he grew up in a liberal cosmopolitan household speaking hebrew french dinner and arabic. by iranian arabs who come to the jewish part of the city because of the cafes the dance clubs and the cinemas. but. in one thousand twenty six dennis parents asked and shlomo and tell founded a small bakery with twenty five workers jews and arabs danny built a business up to become one of israel's largest bakeries to hand it was not just a factory but a home with jews and arabs working side by side. the history of israel is also the story of danny and he lived out his parents' train they believed in a peaceful middle east without hatred and without borders. but even as a child danny learned that this togetherness shouldn't be taken for granted. arab extremists atta

embassy to jerusalem. my take is that it was a goodod decision because jerusalem is the capital city of israel and represents israelis -- jerusalem as the capital city of israel represents israelis. you have a separation between different groups, between arab israelis and jewish israelis. remindssense, jerusalem us of the challenges with which israel is confronted, and we teed of here in germany -- and we too here in germany. at 70, what does it mean to you? lots of trouble, lots of challenges, but i want to break the gloom and doom factor we are about to launch here. it has been 70 years for what was an incredible act of statehood. this in the context of nation building 70 years is not a long time, and these challenges israel is facing, some of them are pressing and need to be solved sooner rather than later. they cannot overshadow everything. we need to still keep in mind -- offer bank -- ofer was talking about his parents' memory. if you put this in context, it brings us back to 1948 to the survivors of

my father was living in jerusalem at the time they lived with an arab family in a house in jerusalem they were. under siege times the war broke out once the state had been declared it was a time of very great time of very tough struggles tragedy many people were killed in the war of independence but it was a time when the state was the clear the time of the lation a time of of like coming to a point in history that we've waited for for two thousand years to be able to return home to our homeland understand mission state and sensually. house for the jewish people to live in do you now currently twenty eighteen do you feel there's still a possibility because the conflict between israel and the palestinians seems to be so for tracked it and there seems to be no solution in sight do you still believe that there might be a palestinian state in the near future i'm fairly convinced that there is a vast majority of israelis want a peaceful negotiated settlement with the palestinians i still believe that this can happen and i still believe that that we can find a solution that can address the

prepares to move its embassy to jerusalem. yes i think that is obviously something that zimmerman had in mind and we're discussing during this meeting no mention from my compost least of the situation along the border fence between gaza and israel there was a lot of talk obviously about the u.s. embassy move that something that benjamin netanyahu has been celebrating and glorying in really for some weeks now especially since the declaration that would come on may the fourteenth much earlier than judge ruled on coinciding with the day that israel in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight declared its independence the creation of the state of israel the seventieth anniversary of that is is being used to it to be the day that this very momentous to move from tel aviv to jerusalem is being made however i think what's clear from that news conference is what this more broad visit by pomp to the middle east at the beginning of his tenure as secretary of state is about and that seems to be about iran very much laying the groundwork fo

embassy open in jerusalem. we've seen him question whether the two-state solution is in fact the goal. what's the impact of these kinds of steps? where do you think the united states stands now in its role as mediator of this conflict? >> we're going to end on an optimistic note, right? >> yes, we're going to try. >> well, i think, like many administrations before it, the trump administration inherited an intractable problem that seems increasingly far from potential resolution. the facts that are being created on the ground make the viability of a two-state solution more and more remote. the politics, as you said, on both sides are hostile to a two-state solution, particularly i think on the israeli side at this point. and on the palestinian side you have had repeatedly leadership that is unable to take yes for an answer. so this is a problematic setup as ever. and frankly the trump administration has made a bad situation even more complicated by promising any day now a proposal that as far as i can tell hasn'

and from jerusalem. all these practices are right or crimes and is there is should be accountable for that all right your guest is asking palestinians to negotiate we are negotiating in the last twenty seven years well i mean what hasn't he has example regarding that and what it point that there is a settlement expansion unfortunately most women would agree on is they listen to mozart there is there is a housing minister you have got and declare. declare that the israeli housing minister you are going to declare that they have plans in the coming twenty years door bell a million housing units in the occupied territory what ok what kind of business that that we can. we will accept or not very young and how to says that we will keep our control over the jordan valley and all over jerusalem and we are. we are on that list there and call it whatever they call it let's leave it there i'm sorry we are out of time thank you very much to all of our guests for their participation robby sable a samadhi and. thank

i heard about gaza and jerusalem.s all the areas where you don't have the palestinian authority and the palestinian security forces. that's a real challenge. on the regional side, we've seen a collective shrug and an attempt to do normalization without the palestinians or even against the palestinians. the international community has, again, shown its robust fecklessness. and in america, it's perhaps the source of hope and also, of course, greater frustration, because you see an administration so aligned with the most egregious policies of the current israeli government. but you also see what j street has achieved. i was moved by what we heard from ricky of j street u and the end of demolitions campaign. i was a little older than six months at that rally. the emergence of a group like, if not now -- [ applause ] >> so let me just share with you mirav to get us going the three things that have been on my mind in terms of what one might do in this current situation, because i do not believe that right now in this precar

you were born in jerusalem and i i saw that you were quoted as saying that you believe that jerusalem is a state of mind that i started out just a little bit further and assume that israel is a state of mind describe that state of mind for us at this point in time. well it was this quote was made regarding the decision of the dominican president to move the american embassy to jerusalem and it was very controversial in israel and outside of israel and my take was that actually it was a good decision because jerusalem as the capital city of israel represents israelis is a place where you have citizens and then you have hundreds of thousands of people who are not citizens and you have a separation between different groups between arabs and he's ready to asians rally's so in that sense jerusalem is ready state of mind reminding us that i would say the challenges with which is very confronted and actually we two here in germany. shai result is also an israeli citizen based here in germany working for the arch of iowa israel at seventy what does it mean to you. well. you know there's lots

jerusalem was always his home under a june born in palestine. jews and arabs a light were known as palestinians until nine hundred forty eight as a boy is some an arab played with his jewish neighbors one thousand nine hundred forty eight only the jews were rejoicing finally a state of the jewish friend for example for us to eyes on who had to fight the auschwitz to camp. design a stream was coming true for pioneers like seen in belmont born in berlin he fled the nazis when he was young now the arab palestinians were refugees but who's to blame for their fate sadder still a man has waited for all those decades to return five people five stories a small country and it's great history but where did it start. we start with. his family has lived here for generations ruelas came and went and the family adapted at will is something eric has not really passport when israel was founded he was just ten years old. when we were kids my brother and i had to work at the market to help our parents. we were barefoot we had no money for shoes . report creates a

jerusalem there can never be a two-state solution.cision was not only counterproductive to peace, but it did not do justice. to the identity, to the history, to the reality of jerusalem. jerusalem has been inclusive, inclusive, open, tolerant, diver diverse, people of all faith, jews and muslims live together, coexisted. [ applause ] the keys of the church, of the ho holy, is home for the family and muslim families in the old das,s with the jewish candle for the jewish neighbors throughout the history of that city, but today is an anomaly, jerusalem will always reject claims of exclusivity. no one can have exclusive claims of jerusalem and no one should. [ applause ] we -- we promise you, we vow in front of you that once peace prevails, once the state of palestine is established, once that state has east jerusalem as its capital, that city will not only recognize jerusalem we'll celebrate the jewish connection to jerusalem. [ applause ] the yuunilateral decisions by t israeli prime minister and the u.s. administration, but particular

city will not only recognize jerusalem, we will celebrate the jewish connection to jerusalem.applause] the unilateral decisions by the israeli prime minister and by the us administration, but particularly by the administration do not change the status of jerusalem. for the status of refugees. or change the status of the historic and legitimate rights of the palestinian people. the only status that changed since the announcement in jerusalem, the only status that changed is the status of the us as a mediator. [applause] since 1988, we kept our promises. our commitments and our relentless investments and efforts to achieve the two state solution. we stayed the course. we stayed on the negotiating tablefor 26 years nonstop . so this is that we walk away from negotiation, come on, grow up! we have been over negotiating if you want the truth. and during these 26 years my friends, america could not bring himself to the level of an honest, neutral, mediator. but we kept on, we kept on. [applause] you know why we kept on for 26 years? because the us during all that time, did not chang

for millennia jews have been praying to return to jerusalem in one hundred forty eight it seemed that prime is one answer but was a cause for celebration. jerusalem was always his home done under a june born in palestine jews and arabs alike were known as palestinians until nine hundred forty eight as a boy is some an arab played with his jewish neighbors but in one nine hundred forty eight only the jews were rejoicing finally a state of their own a jewish homeland for example for esther aizen who had survived the after its death camp. design a stream was coming true for pioneers like seen on belmont born in berlin he fled the nazis when he was young now the arab palestinians were refugees but who's to blame for their fate sardo sulaiman has waited for all those decades to return. people. a small country. we start with. his family has lived. came and went. when israel was founded he was just ten years old. we were barefoot we had no money for shoes. we pushed crates a vegetable is on a cart. it appears that. later he had his own truck as an independent freight forwarder he's constantl

after memorial day for israel's fall and now comes the festivities lasting until saturday night in jerusalem prime minister benjamin netanyahu welcome to the real seeds of peace and from some of israel's arab neighbors and a twist in an apparent anti semitic attack that has stoked outrage in germany a young man tells to w. that he and his friends were beaten up for wearing the kick but in burlesque and they weren't even jewish plus for almost six decades cuba has been cashed country he dealt with power in the one nine hundred fifty nine revolution and handed it on to his brother raul ten years ago now this man may get d.s. come out of his taking the hounds but will he be looking down a different path. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program french president among you i'm up. has arrived in berlin for talks with german chancellor angela merkel president mccrone is here to breathe fresh life into his vision for e.u. reforms now germany and france have pledged to deliver a reform roadmap just in time for an e.u. summit coming up in june but across reform ideas are facing resistance here in germa

assets into jerusalem just like the case in most of just the case in washington d.c. even though the new york city's dick let's put it in the financial capital of his of the united states you've been to tel aviv televisa definitely a financial capital of the state of israel but the capital of israel is drizzle and that's where all those and this is new and sometimes it's up to get what part of life yeah but i mean so far it's just american strat carpeting that you're a salon member say others aren't too prone and too quick to accept that. really i hope and believe that more countries would follow the. lead to nothing with the palestinian leader just another excuse form of doing and if well i tell you how it looks from the outside what is with so many politicians coming over to israel it seems that this is not just about these rallies it's more about the american voters and i mean it's great for trump to protect himself as a friend of israel to his voters at home but should he really be doing it at the expense of israel's security. where once again we believe the jerus

and we further reiterate that all the states rejects such decisions emphasizing that east jerusalem is an integral part of the palestinian territories first off for discussion at the arab summit was us president donald trump's plan to move the american embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and made the controversial announcement at the end of last year a call in jerusalem the capital of israel yemen is also on the table with the u.a.e. and saudi arabia heavily involved in the war and the humanitarian crisis there there will be mention of the war in syria but not the recent airstrikes several member states including iraq of call for quick solutions to the conflict there is no representative from syria at the meeting though syria has been suspended from the league since the war began and two thousand and eleven let's bring in our guests now joining us from gaza are abu sada crestor professor that is a political science at all costs are university in gaza and then sana came almost mari editor in chief and publisher of the yemen post gentleman thank you very much for joining me so let's st

of arab jerusalem. making sure underlining the fact that is jerusalem is. a palestinian land and the capital a future palestinian state and that they the arab leaders will not agree to do not accept the american new position on jerusalem i think for example that one point or that's important just briefly to go back to the whole syria issue some people are suggesting and we're now after these strikes as possibly as possible even endgame that. the russians are going to face more sanctions me us for assisting assad according to nikki haley do you see this is a kind of any kind of kind of turning point in syria would you think that's of the wrong assessment of it look at think it's a turning point certainly for the united states because if anyone listened to the speech by trump. before the actual bombardment he said the middle east. is a troubled place and it's going to have to be left to its people to settle we are not going to resolve their problems for them so i know as far as you know it's good not sinc

jerusalem's most recognizable lung. built on the odors of the in my youth caliphs optimistic this is the third holiest sites in islam. but at the time the two most holy sites the mosques of mecca and medina lay in the hands of the almighty its rival calif it was obeyed. in six ninety one as a judge a ruthless a made general set off for islam's holiest place with a powerful army. sent him to mecca and defeat even sabbat perhaps because i'm dumb i can self didn't want to be too closely associated with the damage to the shrine. as jess put mecca under siege. and a desperate missile base shelter in the slums most sacred shrine. the kaaba. but the hijazi was not to be deterred and bombarded with a couple. after eight months of determined resistance. that mr obaid was killed in last ditch fighting. was stopped by the management not one and your ego he did though and it's not me yeah mother left and jenny that was a new age see as if he had been checking in a lot why barack at the. woman just sad to see about that said the man

as the united states prepares to move its embassy to jerusalem. there will still talk about recent events the killings of dozens of palestinian protesters still talk about how they can be able to help the palestinians from engineers willis in terms of aid. what they're looking for is us much as possible some sort of. pounce on this very important issue jerusalem is key to the islamic world not only palestinians it's a holy site for muslims and they want to be seen to be making the right noises at this time the united states is trying to move its embassy and another issue that we'll talk about is how to stop israel's beat for our attention of membership of the united nations security council like that thank you. the agenda of this is summit of the americas was supposed to focus on tackling corruption but the u.s. led strikes in syria diverted the discussions as gentleman reports from lima. the photo point is planned but then the u.s. led missile strike on syria overshadowed the agenda at the summit of the americas i call upon every nation in this h

it's jerusalem basically gone -- and you know jerusalem is as sacred to the arabs as it is to the israelis so jerusalem was off the table, they ratified most of the settlements in the west bank, very limited autonomy to the palestinians and that was mbs, and it was mbs i should say right after jared kushner paid him a visit and departed. he pitched this plan and tried to ram it down the throats of the palestinians. they completely rejected it so i think it's kind of dead in the water. but what's remarkable is you have an arab leader who is willing to kind of toss the palestinians under the bus. it's kind of amazing. we've never seen this before. >> it's extraordinary. dexter filkins, a great read, that you can so much for joining us. >> thank you so much. >> the world's problems can seem insurmountable in an individualistic society like ours but as communities our worries and their causes could be conquered. the philosopher and theologian, the roman catholic jean vanier has made it his life's work to prove that point. creating come communes for the learning impaired. there are 147 of them

mitchell barrack in jerusalem i saw you mitchell shaking your head there while the stuff about who he was speaking these demonstrations would say have an effective strategy from the palestinians to show israel's heavy handed response in dealing with protesters how does israel justify shooting these unarmed protesters these women and children who were protesting near the border fence. again the way i wanted to just bring a whole school load of bus children to the border and behind them you know hide some come us terrorists because come us is actually organizing these and you know they ask why doesn't israel would just let him cut the fence and cross the border and there are people you know who are preparing weapons meaning i don't know the new york times mr grew to read but i just read the new york times article and it said that yes that most of the demonstrators were peaceful and next to the peaceful demonstrators are the women and children there were people you know preparing gasoline bombs you know i call these the guns and roses demonstration most of the people are coming with rose
