for instance, the jerusalem post reports the united nations relief and works agency quotes, presents itself as an organization dedicated to supporting palestinianrefugees . nothing could be further from the truth. it's a colossal fraud. noting that since it was established in 1949 , the us has given nearly $5billion to this agency . they deceptively perpetuate refugee status among descendents of those who have left israel when it was invaded in 1948 by its era neighbors. what has unra accomplished with all those billions of dollars? it has created its own inaccurate and intentionally misleading definition of the word refugee and in so doing, unra has created a number of palestinian refugees numbering in the multiplied millions of people. while refugees all around the world diminish in number, palestinian refugees are exploding in number as they are all being funded and financed by the united nations with your tax dollars. we cfui are going to take a stand against that and reorganize that though that foolishness stops at the united nations. >> in the meantime, unra's infrastructure ho

reporter: the jerusalem post said it strikes a blow to minorities by refusing to recognize the qualityn-jewish citizens. the paper reminds us a declaration of the establishment of the state of israel and several laws already state that israel is the land of the jewish people. as such there is no need to anchor this status. the paper warning the bill is like it add fuel to the fire by delegitimizing israel on the national stage. a left-wing paper is critical. the headline reads, "the israel you know has ended. you can thank netanyahu." because the bill that it calls the build most people in the nation's history. host: some papers have expressed their support for the bill? reporter: a very pro-government it as a zionist constitutional revolution. sending a message that recognizing the historical rights of the jewish people to the land of israel. host: there has been a very angry reaction in the arab media. reporter: the front page of the arab paper based in jerusalem. it drew condemnation from palestinian and european leaders. the villa was a door for apartheid and ethnic cleansing. it a

have you seen the polls, a jerusalem post poll, 59% of people said the criminal investigations of primehis ability to run the country and security crisis and asked whether he was corrupt, 48% of respondents said yes. this is a noise, don't listen to such noise levels. there are police investigations continuing. police can investigate, i have no problem with police investigations. i will continue supporting him when i become a parliament member. do you believe israel can and will make deep compromises for peace, compromises that will have to include jerusalem? the answer is, a bad deal is worse than no deal. if positioned by a bad deal, israel will say no. any prime minister will say no. the people of israel will say no. a good deal like we did with egypt and jordan, israel demonstrated. do you believe in a 2—state solution? no. you don't? i don't think so. i do believe in giving arab residents injudah and samaria civil autonomy and working on a mutual economy and that israeli defence should be all overjudah and samaria. we have seen times when the arab residents. u nfortu nately, someti

the wrong glow so not only do palestinians disagree with what you just heard earlier from the jerusalem post guy in fact most jews disagree with this sort of take on israel on zionism on policy a minority in israel now the fact is and i hear we talk in fact not analysis is for the last seventy years israel has discriminated against its palestinian minorities almost every other former israeli politician is on the record admitting that so there is no argument with that fact now is it a party exactly like south africa no it's not there are no two systems exactly the same thing when people refer to a setting characteristics of a party that is there they don't mean that palestinians drive in the back of the bus they don't mean that they are not allowed in parliament but what they do mean that the discrimination is based on a certain race is racist ideology against them because they are not jews and that doesn't just happen within israel it also happens in the west bank it happened in gaza before and certainly it happens with three quarters of the palestinian people who are not allowed to go back
