cuban government, cuban people, the majority, were very, very pro jewish. very pro jewish. but unfortunately like all governments, there is a corrupt side and a diplomatic and decent part of government. my grandfather was the secretary of state, and he did everything possible to -- he was able to get the two little girls without them paying money because legally they had a cuban citizenship because their father was a cuban citizen and a practicing physician. we don't know why they were on the ship or if their mother was but what turned out, they were two of the ones that stayed there along with, i think, 20 other people. but in the long run, i feel that if the american government would have really wanted the ship to disembark in cuba or the united states, something would have happened. >> can you quantify, either by numbers or by percentage, how many were deported and died, how many survived, and how many would you put into the unknown column? >> okay. out of the 900 -- out of the 937 passengers, 254 died and almost all of them were deported. there were a few to auschwitz o

the pathways program and tack about a little bit from a jewish values and jewish landscape perspective do the community consider this to be worthy of our attention and cultivation? >> the jewish community federation is really seeing itself as a catalyst for change in the jewish community and if we are going to truly be inclusive and engage our jewish community, we want to make sure we're including all of our jewish community, so this program, the pathways to leadership program came out because they saw a group of leaders at the jewish community fred ration. they're seen throughout the jewish community that there's lgbtq lay leaders. we've had a beautiful representation but the small representation, truth any, of hgbt lidars, and we felt it was time to putting in the next generation of lay leaders so when we as a community make decisions on agent cities, at sports, in communities, we show all the voices, just not just those who happen to hope request. we look at and it and we thought it was a way to offer our interested participants and in this initial pathways program a way in, develop

men and jewish women squxt can clearly, there seeps to be this question of jewish serve iflism. now, let's hear about the gentile girl. >> she was refined and has good character and many fine qualities. i could write a lot about her. what good would it do i expect my are here. >> we have a generationalist we talk about socio economic, we talk about cultural and religion. generational will be a tension that's not oldish but my undersd my desire for sex, love, rock and roll. i doesn't understand why we reject his lovely krift n, christian. if my parents told me they didn't want to see me again it would hurt me because i love my parents. but when i told them about the girl, they warned me that they would kill myself for picking a nonjewish girl. that's classic. >> so now we have this sittinet. l let. >> now knowing my parents i'm ashamed. i feel i would be happy with this girl. therefore i ask you to explain to my parents that they must rid themselves with the thoughts and stop talking about suicide. this girl is as dear to me as live itself. i did the tow what to do. >> what do yo

typically, if the mother is jewish, the child is considered jewish, not if the father is jewish. so if you grew up in a religious family but your father was jewish and your mother wasn't, you probably would be more welcome in a reform than you would in a more traditional synagogue. so it depends. and then there are people who say, we'll accept you if you convert. we have jews who were raised jewish that still have to convert. drew? >> so it's like in this letter and article, kind of the older generation of jews aren't too keen on intermarriage but what about the nonjewish americans, what do they think about -- >> yeah. there's clearly going to be people on the other side who don't care what religion this person is or whether he's a machinist. he's jewish. that's weird. that's other. and there are also groups like the jews who have questions of keeping that religious tradition together. right? catholics being one of them. it's not that you're jewish, it's that you're not catholic. we don't like him because he's not a northerner, we don't like him because he's not african-american.

with a look at jewish history. part of american history tv programs normally seen weekends here on c-span3. coming up, the voyage of the st. louis, a ship full of nearly 900 german jews trying to escape the nazis. they were denied entrance into the u.s. and author scott miller talks about what happened when they returned to europe. then history professor jonathan ray on what it took for jews to assimilate into u.s. culture in the progressive era. that's falloyed by holocaust survivor marcel drimer on his family's efforts to stay together in nazi occupied poland during world war ii. >>> in the weeks following the normandy invasion, allied forces moved to drive the germans out of the peninsula and begin the liberation of notsa occupied france. wednesday at 8:00 p.m., john macmanus talks about the challenges facing the allies, including the liberation of the crossroads town of san low. >> bradley's concept of the heels of this failure is to redouble his efforts to take st. lowa, which you see in the middle of our map.

is a fundamentally jewish value. part of our application as jews is to speak out even when it means criticizing israel. i encourage them not to be loyal to a state per se but to the values we hold most dear equality and justice. >> sarah writes, i'm an american jew, i'm critical of all parties' actions. what we are witnesses is the nuances not us versus them it's imperfect. >> as being equally critical of yourself as others. >> everyone wants to get to that promised land of peace how we get there is a debate but we should have a dialogue. >> thanks omy guests. until next time waj and i will online you >> welcome to al jazeera america. i'm del walters. these are the stories that we're following for you. the u.s. sending in more manpower into iraq to help those stranded on a mountain. >>> israelis and palestinians waiting for word about ongoing peace negotiations in egypt. plus there has been another shooting in those st. louis issues where police shot and killed a teenager.

she was really pro jewish. what was her role sanjaya?t she have any influence with her husband to issue an executive order? >> i do understand that she, in a sense, lobbied the president on this particular issue. how strong did she do it, i guess she wasn't successful, i don't know the answer to that question. but as you said initially in your comments, the political pressure and the fear, right, that he was going to do something that none of his predecessors had done which was to go for a third term could have been hurt if he had made this exception, which is the way it was portrayed at the time. >> yes. >> and one of the things that you did not even touch on and you need to is my understanding and always been my understanding that the cuban government invited that ship to come to cuba, not one word was said about that. and then turned them away and i would like you to clarify that at this point. >> you did say -- >> the cuban government -- i would say the opposite. the ship st. louis, and i'm sure mr. miller can add something on this,

jewish men are being picked up.hen he left the press conference a few minutes in and came back out and the swiss journalist asked him like you know, we are getting all of these reports. what do you say about that? there were a number that were picked up for weapons. so they had at least ten, 20,000. maybe more. nobody really knows. they were mostly picking up people who were thought to have money but then they had to pay their way to get out so one more scheme for them to engage in class warfare as they saw it the entitlement program of the day. that basically ends the book. i guess i can turn it back. you have to look at this more in picture. we have a chapter like what happens next, and it was interesting if you were seized by the gestapo could never get that review of your incarceration or why you were there. and it just right after, there was a ruling verifying that. it was about a gun club where one of them that didn't want to be nazis that was sticking them into the context and of course with the concentration

the non-jewish ones and christianity began to divorce his cell from its jewish parent and becomes sent a new cumbersome and wholly independent as it is today. >> host: reza aslan company probably rocks the world comes the christian world with "zealot: the life and times of jesus of nazareth." but you do right this in your book. he said the most obvious reason not to dismiss the disciples resurrection experiences out of hand at the cell messiahs before and after them. it was precisely the fervor with which the followers believed in the resurrection that performed this time is that into the largest religion. while the resurrection itself is an ahistorical phenomenon. another was something historians have no business talking about one way or another. the claim to the resurrection by the disciples is an historical phenomenon reason unquestionable historical phenomenon. it is just a fact that very soon after jesus' death, his disciples believed and preached he was risen again. i personally estimate he believes in god so i'm not going to deny jesus was raised from the dead. i'll just say it'

we'll continue on towards the heart of the jewish quarter. there's a myth -- >> yeah. >> among many people that the jews. asked people, when was there a jewish majority in jerusalem? i lectured and most people say oh, jewish majority, 1967, or no, 1948. >> yeah. by the way, '48, '67 is the war. the '73 war. that's the borders changed in '67. >> this area was controlled by the kingdom of jordan. >> right. >> which did not allow jews to live here. >> right. >> they first of all, ethnically cleansed this city of all the jews who had been here for cities, cleansed them out, pushed them out of the old city walls. it's invaded by lebanon, syria, transjordan. an expeditionary force -- >> when the first prime minister reaches out his hand to all his neighbors. he used the term good neighborliness. >> in our declaration of independence. you want peace. >> yeah. >> we were invaded by these armies, supported by european powers, by the way. >> right. >> we had a complete arms embargo against the state of israel. we had to smuggle weans in. there was a wh

we have a very special show for you and future in an exclusive debate between two very prominent jewish boyce's with very different perspectives on the israel palestine conflict without further ado let's break this out. it'll probably. take at least three hours to take a. look. at her back without her there. lately. it's been over three weeks since the start of operation protective that the latest military offensive launched by israel against the gaza strip to date the bombing campaign and subsequent invasion has resulted in the deaths of one thousand four hundred thirty two palestinians the vast majority of which are civilians including three hundred twenty seven children and one hundred sixty six women according to the gaza health ministry on the israeli's side as many as fifty six i.d.f. soldiers and the recent billions of also been killed according to reuters the situation on the ground is changing by the minute and these numbers reflect only the latest at the time of this broadcast as the casualties continue to mount and a series of proposed cease fires have failed there seems to b

mark is a deeply jewish text. matthew and luke still maintain sort of jewish affinities.ry least, they explain the jewish things that jesus does. john begins his gospel not with an infancy narrative, not with jesus' miraculous birth to a virgin, it begins at the beginning of time. [speaking in native tongue] john says, in the beginning was the word and the word was with god, and the word was god. right away john says something brand new. you see, matthew, mark and luke never, ever called jesus god. ever. they called jesus the son of god, which is actually a title, not a description, it's a title for king. which is actually a tidal pond a description. there is a defining quality to jesus, and it certainly post resurrection there is a divine nature to jesus but at no point in these three gospels as jesus say i am god. the first verse of john says jesus was not the man. he was a and he turned all divine being responsible for creation. now here is the story. right away what you see is something new completely totally different they were not the only four gospels there were ma

and it's jewish racism in motion. it does not speak on behalf of all the jewish brothers and sisters who have a choice to say we're against occupation we're against anilelation. let us be together. free palestine. let gaza live. > free free palestine. free free. >> brothers and sisters let's give it up for brother cornell west one more time. the next person i want to bring up is someone whose courage is inspiring to me every day, someone who when they saw the criminal invasion of iraq in 2003 resigned their position from the state department in protest of that injustice and stands up against ip justice every single day. colonel ann rice. lease welcome her. >> i worked for the u.s. government way too long. i was 29 years in the u.s. military. i was a u.s. diplomat for 16 years. one of the elements i put in my resignation letter was the unbalanced policy of the united states. they have become even more imbalanced more favoring the israelis everywhere. the attacks on gaza, three attacks in the last five years, massive at

the rebbe inaugurated the first attempt in all of jewish history to reach every jewish community and every jew in the world. >> schneerson instructed his emissaries to bring judaism to every community no matter how remote. today there are more than 4,000 couples running centers in 49 states in some 80 countries. >> the rebbe understood that any one law, any one ritual, any one ethical act, could be that step that could bring someone on a path back to judaism. and by the way, he thought though that the step had value even if the person didn't take it further. >> today lubavitchers continue carrying out schneerson's marching orders aided greatly by modern technology. >> when you look online for jewish institutions, chabad is probably the first thing you find. >> david denemark says he faced anti-semitism in berlin. he grew up in a secular environment but decided he wanted to reconnect with his jewish roots. in a facebook search, he found out about this chabad jewish fellowship summer program in the catskills. >> we pray not to close your eyes and pray by heart but to look at the letter

so you think that inclination would be that the jewish community would support that. on the other hand, those few people who speak out against this policy say it's a policy based on racial identity. right? and so if you're against prejudice you should be speaking out against it. so i think this policy brought those two goals into direct conflict with each other and that produces this kind of silence around the issue. some of those -- depended a little bit on the community but some of those who spoke out were threatened in various ways. so, there was very strong feeling, and you have to remember that at this time there were blackouts in the coastal cities, there was a fear on the west coast that the west coast would be attacked, and so tensions were quite high. the community relations committees were an arm of the jewish community that emphasized what was at the time called intergroup relations so work with a racial minority groups against prejudice in all its forms. so i knew the group in l.a. had emerged during world war ii. as a force in the community and there are

this was from 1946, 1947, the last joint palestinian jewish house. we had a very good relationship with the arabs. and then the war started in 1947. >> all the arabs were pushed out. >> they were pushed out. >> they feel guilty that you are living here? >> no, no. >> you don't feel guilty that this is a home that belongs to a palestinian family and they got pushed out, and you are the recipient, the beneficiary of the blood and sweat and tears. >> i feel that the israeli government owes them, because the israeli government is the one who made this law about people who are not here. and the question is if people are ready to take compensation instead of coming back. >> the next day david and i separated so that i could go alone into gaza. along with the west bank, gaza is one of the two areas that have been taken by israel in 1967 and has been an occupied territory ever since. >> when i was in gaza david attended an israeli right wing rally in jerusalem. a large movement of religious israelis believe that rather than returning this land, it should be

date 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 hundred thirty seven or ninety five percent of the rest of palestine in one thousand nine hundred eight in the century half in two thousand. and in two thousand and eight they rejected statehood every single time because the goal of the of the arabs unfortunately is israel's destruction it is not a palestinian state in fact the charter of hamas calls for the murder of every jew it is a nazi like document. mahmoud abbas's charter the palestinian authority fatah charter and ten close calls for israel's destruction of this is the cause of the of this ongoing war against israel is the refusal to accept a palestinian arab state because of this latest battle is three thousand missiles aimed into the into the population centers of israel attempting to murder as many jews as po

which calls for the entire is jewish state control over all of the west bank it doesn't even recognize the existence of palestinians this charter has been carried out it's being carried out before our eyes unlike the hamas charter more than mentioned rockets from hamas they have killed less than thirteen people in the last decade how many palestinians ghettoized in the gaza strip have been slaughtered in this campaign of ghetto cleansing by the israeli air force how many oh we're talking about over thirteen hundred in just the course of less than two weeks and i doubt that morton will condemn this or even put a limit on the amount of civilian casualties that he would be able to tolerate we've seen this from no jewish establishment leaders in the us no moral limits no rejection or condemnation of this slaughter witnessing before our eyes my friend. who is the editor of gaza writes back this fantastic anthology of gaza or writers who is a professor of literature in the gaza strip who teaches hebrew literature in the gaza strip has had his brother and his brother in law his best friend ki

of course we condemn and are saddened by the death of any civilians be they arab or jewish but there be no civilians being killed in gaza if hamas would stop firing thousands of missiles against the civilian population in israel no hamas missiles no israeli retaliation and hamas has told civilians to stay in their homes when israel warns them to get out of their homes out of them at of schools and mosques where there are missiles stored and hamas tells them stay there if you are there israel will not attack so israel simply hits military installations where their missiles or rocket launchers do you know that gas arabs are paid a rent for rocket launchers that they ran out their living rooms to hamas so rocket launchers can be in hundreds of homes of the gas the arabs there so they have a living rooms they have dining rooms they have kitchens they have missile rooms were rocket launchers are there so the guys the civilians get paid rent for israel cease fires stop laughing israel has offered many cease fires hamas has violated every one of them well this is the map this is the this is

they were called the jewish community committee of los angeles. they were founded in 1934 at a time when anti-semitism was increasing very rapidly in the los angeles area and southern california in general. and so they made it their mission to document that anti-somatic activity, some of which is coming in the form of pro-nazi groups. it was a group called the silver shirts for example, and various pro-german groups. and so they wanted to document what was going on. one of the people who came to work for that organization, a man by the name of joe should, was originally from austria. heat -- joseph. he and his wife in another austrian, german jewish Émigre's went out and infiltrated these meetings of these pro-nazi groups and to take notes. they would take notes on what was going on and then they wanted to get the word out about message you want to get that wasn't these groups were both anti-american and anti-somatic. however, they felt that if it was a jewish group getting the word out that that would be perceived as self-serving, and so they wan

france is home to europe's largest jewish population. david chater has that story. >> demonstrators outside paris, estimated to be more than 4,000 strong. the chants, hamas terrorists, hamas murderers stop the rockets. people describe the military operation in gaza as a legitimate defense of israel. but ever since the attacks began, there last been an anti-jewish demonstrations. the chants of gas the jews. >> i want to tell you, we will bring a jewish future in europe especially in france. >> the french national anthem was being sung with enthusiasm, in the hope that many will be replacing it with the national anthem of israel. >>> a record high. as many as 5,000 people are expected to make the journey this year to a country which is effectively such as their fear the rising tide of antisemitism not just here in france but across europe as well. this year four people were shot dead in the jewish museum of belgium. the man arrested was of algerian origin. >>> a district called little jerusalem has also come under attack. >> i am now more

this jewish racism, it does not speak on behalf of all of the jewish brothers and sisters who have a choice to say we are against occupation, we are against annihilation. stand up together, free palestine, let gaza live. >> free, free, palestine. free, free, palestine. free, free, palestine. free, free, palestine. free, free, palestine. free, free. free, free. free, free. brothers and sisters let's give it up for brother cornell west one more time. now i want to bring up someone whose courage has inspired me every day. someone when they saw the criminal invasion of iraq in resigned their3 position in protest. they stand up against injustice every day. colonel ann rice.
