norman finkelstein is a classic anti-semite. invokes the oldest stereotypes against the jews if he were not a jew that is she i don't think he is a jew he is as someone once put it he's jewish only on his parents' side. if he were not a jewish person or a person of jewish heritage with a name like finkelstein nobody would have any doubt that he was an anti-semite it's only because he's jewish sometimes i feel that it's a self hating jew he's certainly a jew hating you good to be critical of israel. many israelis are critical of israeli policies many israelis are. anti zionist even i have no problem with people challenging and critiquing zionism israel israeli policy i would never call that person merely did that anti-semitic what people say does goes well beyond that. thank. you is real question whatever you feel about the justice or injustice of the establishment of the state of israel whatever you think about that that's a historical question there is not a current political question all of the palestinians are the palestinian

ok morning i'd like to go back to you in amman let's say norman's right ok. just for argument's sake here what difference does it make ok american jews vote for democrats but republicans have been in the white house democrats been in the white house and i would say the causes of peace in the middle east when we look at the conflict between the palestinian israelis the palestinians have lost consistently again for decades there is no peace process it doesn't matter if there's a republican or a democrat in the white house. well i don't think the issue here is whether a republican or or a democrat in the white house is prefer a bill i think i think the real issue is whether or not palestinians and their supporters should actively campaign to seek to mobilize american public opinion to influence u.s. government policy and there has been this view of kind of all powerful pro israel lobby that has a stranglehold on american policy and i think not only not only is is is that view false but i think what norman has demonstrated is also that the view of a monolithic an

to cross talk relations between american jews in israel i'm joined by norman finkelstein in new york he is a political analyst and author of the new book knowing too much why the american jewish love affair with israel is coming to an end in washington we have daniel pollack he is the co-director of government relations for design this organization of america and in amman we have rabbani he is an independent writer an analyst specializing in policy in affairs and the arab israeli conflict all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want norman finkelstein you have a new book knowing too much why are american jews falling out of love with the state of israel as you claim in your book. i think there are basically two reasons the long term factor is that american jews are basically liberal since nine hundred thirty since the 1930's for example american jews have consistently voted democratic in the us presidential elections and for example in the last presidential election. about eighty percent of american jews voted for barack obama which is the

so in two thousand and seven wells fargo's salesman decided to prey on one of their customers norman russo according to court documents the bank approached the russos about changing their mortgage from the fixed rate that they had a nice stable mortgage safe mortgage to an adjustable rate mortgage an arm rizzo's stressed that they were really only interested in a fixed rate loan and that they wanted to pay the exact same payments throughout the right the life of their loan but they trusted the bank which was a big mistake so when wells fargo told them the new industry standard is adjustable rate mortgages and they could save more than six hundred dollars a month and mortgage payments and that the worst case scenario would be an increase of only a few dollars dollars on their monthly payments according to alternate the russos gave in to the salesman and took the new mortgage but as alternate reports a few years later in two thousand and nine the russos knew that they were stuck with a bad deal their new interest rate was higher than it was before two thousand and seven and even before

when norman urso and his wife had to be out of their house the russos considered moving into an r.v. in front of their home but that plan didn't work out either so two days before the scheduled eviction norman russo apparently unable to bear losing his home after the bank that already taken all his money pulled out a gun and killed himself leaving behind a devastated wife. and that's my husband and he treats me like hell i don't want this to happen to anybody this is horrible i lost my husband. i lose my pets i lose my house i lose my friend of everything for nothing the family got for the news and wells fargo it was just another casualty of our economy now under the control of corporate psychopaths but how many more lives have to be ruined before our nation wakes up to the fact that everything that makes life worth living in america has been stolen by psychopathic executives sitting on the boards and steering the wheels of the nation's biggest corporations are caught i mean today is rooted in this form of corporate capitalism which relies on an insatiable drive for more and more pro

there's nothing norman about it bs it was meant to have statues of norman kings. that never came about. you have busts of former prime minister s who became the house of lords. have another look at the royal gallery, and because what's happening there is that we have another part of the ceremony taking place. another procession leading down to the prince's chamber which is right next to the house of lords. a sense of geography here. the door to the far end, that's where the queen and the duke will emerge for the procession instead. and then they'll make their way along down into the prince's chamber to our right. dominated by that statue, you see it there, a great white marble statue of queen victoria, the prince's chamber with glorious portraits. that room leads into the house of lords itself. in the royal gallery, the next stage of this ceremony is to do with the symbols that i was talking about. the sword of state and the cap of maintenance. these are the two members the house of lords who will now be taking charge of these great symbols. on the left we have a

dr norman was born in new york city led to a jewish family that survived the nazi camps. with david our guest heard stories from his parents of the nazi massacres are the reincarnation of those stories in the streets today. remember the challenge and i would add that the challenge is to be both principle and reasonable at the same all at the end that it needs sound on reasonable you're going to lose the international community but that's i want to come out i don't think that's the way to win this struggle like that and that you're funny it. was. a bit of this running important that we have americans here who want to show that will knock on the american people against that but a syrian lights we know when the people knows the reality. on the site was. that it was the. longer. that. was. coming. down space i could have given a rather awkward talk you know long live on struggle and smash the zionist into the crap place that. they i don't believe to be i think it's pointless. i did when i can which is please can we intelligently about possibilities for change in the us. but i

i wanted to elaborate on some of the things that norman was referring to. he was referring to the consolidation of one particular staff member. we are not supposed to say names, is that the case? is that correct? a particular staff member in seventh grade is being consolidated because she is being told that she does not have the proper credentials. we feel that the classes were added to her schedule only. the english language arts teacher next year is being asked to teach a 30-minute spanish class. our current teacher does not hold a spanish credential. that was added on to her schedule only at the last seconds. we never received anything that indicated that it was to be the case. suddenly, it was added. we presented a ton of evidence to say that was -- by that was not necessary. we were rejected several times and never given a proper answer. now we have a math teachers instead of our seventh grade language arts teacher. >> my name is christiana. the seventh grade language arts teacher is an outstanding teacher. each year, her reading levels rise 2 to 3 lev
