in historic palestine then what we're going to see is continuation of conflict continuation of not only localized conflict but possibly regional conflict and i would beg to differ with. eve on that major point about doesn't have what he wants then that the day if there is no palestinian state there is no vision of the put us in a national aspirations in terms of security is not the i.d.f. who is dealing with security in the west bank it is the new to constitute but i see it in security forces and it's very interesting with after the terrorist attacks that happened in hebron a few weeks ago the i.d.f. itself the i.d.f. there's no commander has actually stepped back from that region and allowed the palestinian security forces to move on ultimately we can sit here and talk about all of these ideas and all of this finger pointing all of the blame and what is going to. going to be this this is going to do this to more conflict and more violence there is one way to end this and one way only negotiate a two state solution between the two parties and i actually would signal with gideon here a l

we will start with the palestine ans first. they said they aren't returning to the negotiating table until israel totally stops settlement construction on the west bank. they said israel has a choice, either settlements or peace. the high level israeli also said it was black and white. essentially no platter how much international pressure is put on them they aren't going to totally stop construction. they are giving themselves wiggle room for some type of agreement curtailing building but not stopping it. the officials call this a gray answer to the question that would help the settlers and the palestine an's. the issue are these large settlements on the west bank that palestine wants. israel agreed to a freeze but when it expired they started building again and that's what talks broke down. while there are no high level direct talks both sides are still talking with mediators. senator mitchell has been spending hours with both sides trying to bring everybody to a solution. this marks the end of the holiday season here and if

he said it as late as 1946, before the aglo american committee into the state of palestine. this is the committee in which richard crossman was in witcha. the idea of a state is hateful to me. two years before the founding of the state of israel. >> when whitesman died, who offered the presidency to einstein? >> bangurian. wouldn't that have been a disaster. >> there's the famous joke that he said, what do we do if he accepts? but because they considered him to be the greatest jew of the 20th century, they had no choice but to offer it to him. there was no danger he would have accepted. >> let's inquire about whether the world hasn't produced another einstein in the past hundred years. why is it only albert einstein that has been able to accomplish what he accomplished? is it only because of his genius or were there a set of circumstances working in his favor, for example, were there social circumstances? were there occupational circumstances? were there economic circumstances? to track that further, isn't it true that there isn't much room today for a wayward maverick that

palestine's, israelis. japanese, apaches. am more concentrated with life and love than flags, nationality, religion. that stuff gets in the way. one gets in the way is me, myself, my story. for me, that is why music is liberating. when you hear "imagine" anywhere in the world, people sang the lyrics. as soon as you hear the melody -- same thing with a bob marley song. i grew up taking everything from bob dylan, curtis mayfield, the beatles, smokey robinson. mike alma mater was the streets of san francisco. i would dare to go to school. where i really hung out was at the fillmore. that was my university, checking out be the king, and james brown, a cream. finding out how they were able to penetrate people's hearts. with their music. once you do that, something happens to their eyes. they become brighter. they start crying, they do not know why. they start dancing. it is like when a woman gives birth. =mmfirst, she cries and then she laughs. later on, she dances. and that, to me, is the beauty of what san francisco is about. >>

and it can have a transformative impact here as much as it has in palestine and israel. >> rose: well said. thank you, congratulations. >> thank you. >> rose: thank you. >> thank you, charlie. >> rose: thank you for joining us. see you next time.

as long as they are still building israeli homes in palestine, i guess t palestine, against the wishesmply with the wishes of the united states, that is to have peace. it's always good to have hope. we couldn't have a better interlocutory or med area than hillary clinton who is tough, knowledgeable, determined to be successful. if anybody can do it, i think hillary clinton can do it. >> prime minister netanyahu had said to the palestinians, even though this building has resumed, please stay with this process. is there any compelling argument that could be made to the palestinians to continue on? >> well, i think if there's an assurance israel will get out of palestine and let them have their own viable and contiguous station, fine. in addition to building homes, israel is insisting that they still remain occupying the jordan river valley and controlling palestine from air and ocean and land so that the palestinians don't have any access to the outside world. so this is a major obstacle to overcome and i hope there will be some flexibility on both sides to let the united states mediatio

>> well, the key thing for israel to give up its ambition to occupy and control palestine and as longy difficult for the palestinians or the world to comply with the desires of the united states and that is to have peace. but, it's always better, when you look at the middle east, to have some hope and i don't think we could have any better interlocutor or mediator than hillary clinton who is tough, competent, knowledgeable, intejen and i think very determined to be successful. so, if anybody can do it, i think hillary clinton can do it. >> prime minister netanyahu had said to the palestinians even those this building has resumed, please stay with this process. is there any compelling argument that could be made to the palestinians to continue on? >> well, i think if there's an assurance that israel will get out of palestine and let the palestinians have their own viable and contiguous nation, fine. butting, in addition to building the homes, israel is insisting they still remain occupying the jordan river valley and controlling palestine from air and ocean and land so that the palesti

to the east, it encompassed egypt, turkey, greece, and palestine, where jesus was born in the jewish land of judea, then ruled by king herod. >> in judea, the king, herod, was in effect a client king. he ruled almost in place of rome. he was the... he was the voice of rome, the instrument of rome, probably "instrument of rome" is best in that, because he... he had his own independent notions certainly. >> herod the great was probably one of the greatest kings of the post-biblical period in israel, but you wouldn't want your daughter to date him. he was ambitious, brutal, extremely successful. >> and it is one of the real untold ironies of jewish history that this man, who... who's the guy you love to hate in jewish history, really, leaves the most indelible mark on the face of the land of israel. >> it appears that herod thought of jerusalem as his showpiece. he really wanted to make it a place where people would come, just as people would have gone to athens, or rome, or the great cities of the mediterranean world. >> narrator: a meticulously accurate model of ancient jerusalem show

take palestine. why why is this guy talking about terrorism? i spent an awful lot of time in gaza and in palestine, to my knowledge, more time than many americans. what else would you expected to see the conditions on the ground there? the amazing thing to me when i visit gaza and some of the town's encircled by walls on the west bank is the dignity, integrity, passion for compassion that many palestinians manifest. they are dead set against allowing their children to fall into the trap of desperation that can lead to terrorism. they are courageous, heroic people. psychologist, teachers, doctors, political, social leaders, business people -- all working their hearts out to say, we have to give these kids another alternative. i talked to a political psychologist who was working -- driving with his 8-year-old son and the car in front of them was vaporized and passengers spilled out in front of them and died right before their eyes. the sun looked pretty despondent -- a few weeks later, his son looked pretty despondent. he asked, what is going on?

palestine, israel. mexico, as i watch them struggling with their cultural identities and trying to maintain the identities and have the respect as the american citizens they are in this country, it got me to thinking about my family heritage and thinking about how history really does repeat itself. because i know that my people want through these same issues in the famine times when they came. and i thought to myself, why are not more of these stories being told? we need to collect these stories. i am at an age where my parents and their cousins, their siblings, they are getting close end of their life. one of the main ways i collect my information is through oral history i knew time was on the essense. there were stories that would be lost if i didn't collect these stories immediately. and that's what i embarked upon doing. >> i grew up in brooklyn, new york. my experience was landing by birth into an urban town land. my family, my mother is first generation i'm second generation. my grand mother lived
