is that israel has never recognized palestine there is not a single israeli political party in the knesset that has recognized palestine and palestine's right to exist now going back to the issue of the jewish state the issue of the jewish state is something that was recently added to the negotiations and during the period that actually negotiations existed there was no demand for a jewish state in the reason that this demand is now cropping up is because israel wants to extinguish the rights of millions of palestinian refugees and wants to ensure that it has the right and the legitimacy to continue to carry out very discriminatory measures and racist measures against the palestinian refugees and against their own citizens who happen to have who happen not to be jewish this is why no palestinian leader will accept that but in terms of recognizing the actual state and the existence of a state every single political leader has come forward and recognized israel there has not been however a reciprocal recognition of palestine its right to exist by any israeli leader hamas hamas is correct ham

that means any knesset member, any member of congress, any senator, can say whatever they want.e adventurous. that doesn't reflect the governments position. certainly doesn't reflect my position. we're not going to enter american politics. >> some have suggested the u.s./israeli military-to-military, security intelligence cooperation today, in this obama administration, is better than it's ever been before. that is true? >> these are very good relations. we enjoy a lot of cooperation. >> better than ever? >> you know, i haven't taken a history of it. >> you know the history. >> it certainly, i think, substantial. i think it's worth while. i think it's meaningful and significant in the middle east we see it today. it's a very unstable place. >> when republicans say -- >> and iran -- >> to israel's friend -- >> and iran is -- >> i'll get to iran in a second. republicans, whether presidential candidates, members of congress or others say to israel's friends in the united states, that president obama is not a friend, what do you say? >> i think all american presidents, including pre
