he left palestine at a very young age. he was raised in jerusalem and in cairo and came here at the age of 14 or 15 to the united states. he was also christian anglican episcopalian and i was born and baptized as an episcopalian. they there again is another strange state. then i was raised in new york city and attended a private school for girls on the upper east side because my parents of course wanted me to have a wonderful and good education and it's a very good school however when i went to school -- but i was episcopalian. i sort of fit and that i didn't and then my father meanwhile was in the other room writing rants of representation of the media and arts and literature. i was as i say in the book watching i dream of jeannie and trying to figure out why it didn't have blond hairs magic powers and a outfit. so there was a lot of -- this is sort of how i see myself to this day as this kind of confused lost child of immigrants and yet i mostly the daughter this person who too many people really stands like really symbo

why the emphasis on palestine? palestine encapsulates the indignities that has taken place where the conscience of the west has allowed the west to be absolves of the crisis in the 30s and 40s and therefore they have become permissive to use real, violating and the palestinians. .. he says in it that, you know, we tend -- he is obviously lebanese and has a lot of different conflicts in his own identity. you're always going to defend the one that needs to be the most offended. my sister-in-law is half irish and have a palestinian. she always says she is a palestinian first. she is like, well, we are okay. i am going to speak out about being palestinian comanche is right. you want to defend the one that is the most, you know, that needs to be defended. that is. there's a part of holding on to that identity because you are trying to insist that you exist and are alive. that is part of her you are, and you're not going to pretend it is not there because your to your family and ancestors and of the people to say that th

so, in fact, palestine was -- the british kind of promised palestine to three different people. they promised it to the arabs. they promised it to the jews, and they promised it to the french. talking about how this amazing ability of lawrence to sort of enter the inner circle of the arab leadership. that's faisal crashing down, the highest up. and that's lawrence in the far right with the wristwatch. and so this is, and then the two slaves in the background. but he was operating inside the inner circle of the arab leadership. and this i just, i kind of put in because i just like this picture. while lawrence and the rebels under faisal were striking the railway system in arabia and doing hit-and-run raids on turkish garrisons, the main british army was waging this, very much the same or that they were waging in europe against the ottoman army. and for different huge defensive. the first for big battles in the middle east. the british army went up against an ottoman army that the ottomans, and each one, were extremely outnumbered, underfed, had antique weapons. this is the ottoma

palestine and here's his response. to that there's been much of a backlash i mean i the most i ever get is members of the zionist committee come to my lectures and try to ask difficult questions mostly the kind of you know way of the finger at me for you know pulling away and straying away from from the pack but there's really not a lot of backlash i think i don't know that israelis are quite aware that the book is out and that the you know people are talking about it and you mentioned zionism and i just think it's really important make a distinction between a zionism judaism because you know i've received backlash from simply criticizing israel and the israeli government's policies and what can we do to combat this charge has been labeled anti-semitic for simply questioning the poll says that the israeli government is well that's that's the that's really the only response that the pros really groups have is to call people had to sematic when they criticize israel it goes all the way for bibi netanyahu down my reply to

the elephant in the room that's a real deterrent for peace in the middle east the occupation of palestine it's a subject my next guest knows all too well its name is maiko pugh lebanese and israeli peace activist whose family was integral in the founding of israel his grandfather was an original signer of israel's declaration of independence and his father an israeli general growing up it was raised to not question the jewish state or its discrimination against palestinian arabs then in one thousand nine hundred seven he lives twelve year old niece was tragically killed by a suicide bomber in jerusalem and instead of letting this incident blind him with hate and use the tragedy to do instead help him understand the conflict through impact that historical lens his book the general's son recalls that experience and also. you constructs the myths and misconceptions about the decades old conflict i spoke to earlier and first asked him if he's received any backlash from the israeli community for his outspoken activism regarding palestine and here's his response. well i can't say that there's b

for palestine formers life is becoming increasingly difficult. this summer israeli officials marked with red paint 2,000 olive and citrus trees for destruction. >> translation: i was working on my land when the parks authority arrived saying they are marking trees younger than two years. i told them to leave the trees alone. >> israeli authorities told al jazeera the area has been declared as a nature reserve due to professional ecological reasons. israel's decision to declare the area a nature reserve and frequent harassment by israeli settlers have meant there are limits op area that can be cultivated. >> this man used to own 25 cows, now it's down to seven. >> translation: since they declared the area a nature reserve, we can't get tractors in or get fodder for our animals. >> whether they have trees or grazed cattle palestine farmers athe israeli farmers designated this area a nature reserve to stop them using the lapped. at the same time some jewish settlements surrounding the valley are creating environmental problems of their own. >> above

israel released 26 palestine prisoners. their release is part of a deal calling for the eventual freedom for more than 100 detapees that have been behind bars for more than 20 years. the first 26 were released in august. israel's supreme court cleared the way for their release in a way to move piece talks forward. stefanie dekker reports from ramallah. >> there's around 5,000 palestine prisoners left behind bars. this group is part of 104 which are part of the pre-oslo accord prisoners, arrested before or during 1993. when that is done, there's around 5,000 prisoners behind bars. anyone here will tell you people have been in and out of prison quite a lot. every day there'll be an israeli army incursion to the occupied west bank. people are being released. people are being brought back in. it's a revolving door, i think. president abas says there'll be no agreement without all palestine prisoners released. it's something that is rather optimistic. we are already seeing the conflict in israeli politics with the release. hard

. >> john let's turn for a minute to palestine.netenyahu said six of his predecessors have not been able to achieve peace with palestine. do you think his speech right now changes anything? >> well, again, it's nothing knew new. he expressed a desire of his own and the israeli people to have peace with the palestinians, but he said what he always says which is that the palestinians haven't recognized sufficient state of israel, and haven't proved the necessary need to show that israel could be kept secure. so although we're deep in talks behind the scenes lead by secretary of state john kerry and senior israeli and u.s. diplomats, the -- the basic issues surrounding the palestinians has not changed, and we were hoping that that might be a headline in this week's general assessably, and it turned out not to be. >> john thanks so much for being with us. and right now we're still waiting for the president to speak live from the rose garden, but for more i'm joined by a professor of international relations at nyu. thank you for joining
