community column is decide to take out their frustrations on the palestinians and punish palestinians and then they call it a price tag because whenever these are the government does something which they don't approve of they decide they're going to physically attack. it as a form of punishment of course the israeli government is not particularly concerned with attacks on palestinians and in the past year and in two thousand and eleven there were on average two and a half physical violent attacks against palestinians by israeli colonists and they're doing that in order to try to create facts on the ground and to basically push the palestinians off their lands and take over more of their territory scare them into leaving so that only jews would be able to remain in the west bank or let's go to another example of the most recent price tag response to european help as we've just described it with the solar industry in the area say was when israel destroyed the thirty eight million dollar airport they built in gaza soon after it was completed so is are all trying to teach the europeans a

their palestinians and israeli. palestinian -- everybody is affected by the conflict. you can't escape. even if you just want to go about an ordinary daily life you get dragged into the conflict. there was one palestinian family in particular that drove this home. in the west bank town of lebron, very important biblical patriarchs believed to be buried there. jews leaders who questioned and muslims, very important site. there are jews were shipping every day, there is a big mosque. all in the same compound that has been divided into different parts and he karate family live near the center and probably had more daily friction than any other place because you had the situation with 500 israelis living where, got a round-the-clock by the israeli military and 150,000 palestinians in the city and when the palestinian uprising began in 2000 the israeli military seeking to protect these israelis, the jewish settlers in this community imposed a curfew and wouldn't let the palestinians leave their home. i was there one day early on and the usual rock throwing rubber bullets we

where the palestinian authority only got to be autonomous more or less autonomy us in area a when it comes to civil administration and security in area be so let me. but i stand thirty was still able to have some control over the civil matters but security was under israeli control and area see action remained under both security and civil control of israel completely and should be very clear areas he is part of the occupied west bank is ok if i did in one nine hundred sixty seven but that's where all of these really colonies the illegal colonies in the west bank are and area c. is about sixty five percent of the entire west bank so that's actually the majority the reason behind the arrangement by which israel retains control over the vast majority of the occupied territory it was in order to have a phased transition by which palestinians would gradually get more territory under their control and would become independent at the end of the process but this was seventeen years ago and area c. remains about the same size that it was seventeen years ago that by the same is never made any

and israel has an enormous stake in ensuring that those palestinians who believe in nonviolence, who believe in coexistence are the ones who were validated. >> you came very close both in the parameters and in the aspen facility and camp david of coming really close to what that arab -- that palestinian-israeli deal would be. is that still the outline of the deal that could be if they both could get there? >> you know, i would love to be able to say yes. i'm not sure because right now i don't think the context lends itself very well to producing a status deal. when i say from an israeli stand point it's important to try to validate those palestinians who believe in nonviolence. it's not because i believe necessarily the conduct that exists today to do a deal. >> why not? >> i think, for one thing, as i said, the context i just described from the israeli side is there's going to be great concern. is this the time to be running risks given the unknowns that you face out there and who could take advantage of the situation, but look at the other side. is abu mazen ready today to do a fin

this is good side on palestinian side. this is a good news on palestinian side. we expect a good news from israeli side. unfortunately, until now, assad didn't give positive messages. neither to the region nor even to american administration or committee. unsettlement is continuing. the provocative statements regarding palestine is continuing. and two-state solution is not being defended openly by all members of israeli government. now it is time to decide. what is the future of palestine? nobody can expect this existence to continue. palestinians deserve their state. i have to be very frank here. russia was wrong regarding syria. -- wrong regarding the palestinian state. if a policy is consistent with the human conscience, wit human wisdom, then that politics is a ta -- sustainable. wherever you want, all human being, is behind palestinian state. except for some dogmatic people are behind the people in syria, and these are not contradictory. as turkey, we will support recognition of palestinian state, if possible tomorrow, if possible today this hour, because th

to israel stop building settlements on occupied palestinian territory and restart peace talks palestinians claim they're being terrorized by israeli settlers outnumbered and outgunned some are now turning tech savvy to defend themselves policy or has more. this footage is being filmed with nasa only watches camera he's the palestinian who's been pushed to the ground by israeli soldier just moments earlier his friend took his camera and started filming with. president morsi was literally i know that it was we're. also a little i was not only you know not all of that sort of i don't know those really seems like those have been almost weekly here and they have been hills and across the palestinian territories for years they went unrecorded until an israeli human rights organization distributed cameras to nasser and dozens of other palestinians to capture glimpses of every day reality in an occupied zone the number one reason for settler attacks against palestinians on their property is the lack of law enforcement by israeli authorities this sends a clear message to violent settlers they will

with their cars and shoot at unarmed palestinians it's on the increase. guy batavia is an israeli activist who gave up his day job so he could volunteer full time to teach palestinians about the camera project he says settlers think twice when they see a lens pointed in their direction although it didn't stop him recently from breaking his arm and beating him all over his body at a protest in support of a palestinian farmer whose land had been stolen by a settlement but we were about fifteen activists in. and the settlers in the wouldn't care about the camera actually. it's one of the people that they were with. on the ground there with their cameras. all the cameras not only did israeli police do nothing while bones were broken and one second attempt or tonight for protester but israeli activists say police beat several of them up what's more for the first time israeli woman activists say there were sixty harassed and assaulted by both male and female israeli extremists but that hasn't dampened the enthusiasm of nasa and others to form what's going on an

on the palestinian question -- >> would you get closer to the mike? >> sorry about that. >> on the palestinian question, we just always talk about abu mazen, but i was wondering if you believe that there will be elections, do you see anybody that perhaps would have the credibility within the palestinian base and also possibly with the israelis to eventually cut a deal, and i'm wondering if you have a repeat of 2006, the palestinian elections and hamas does make a good showing, would you recommend repeating the same course of action that the u.s. and the international community did which was to boycott hamas because my personal feeling -- >> i just don't feel that they were given the opportunity to show whether they would govern or whether they would moderate because you, in effect they were backed into a corner and we never knew. so i understand there are these quartet red lines and i'm just wondering if you would make any changes to that approach? thank you. >> we're asking two different questions. one question that relates to who being emerge in ele

on the palestinian question -- sorry about that. in the palestinian question we used to always talk about abu mazen but i was wondering if in fact you believe that there will be elections, do you see anybody that perhaps would have the credibility within the palestinian base and also possibly with the israelis to eventually cut a deal and i'm wondering if you have a repeat of 2006, the palestinian elections and hamas does make a good showing, would you recommend repeating the same course of action that the u.s. and the international community did which was to boycott hamas because my personal feeling -- i mean i just don't feel they were even given the opportunity to show whether they would govern or whether they would moderate. in effect they were backed into a corner and we never knew so i understand there are these kind of quartet red-lined that i was just wondering if you would make any changes to that approach? thank you. >> you are asking two different questions. one question relates to who could emerge in elections on the pal

palestinians have been crying out for political reconciliation for years. the divisions betweenfatah and moss has been a bitter and violent. a year after hamas won elections in 2006, a fierce fighting erupted with fatah being forced from gaza. abaas says he wants that to change. elections are to be held later this year. he is really a fallback choice as prime minister. the two sides fail to agree on any alternative names. there remain major differences in policy. not least, how to deal with israel. israel rejected the deal. >> hamas is a terror organization which strives to destroy the state of israel. i have said many times that the palestinian authority must decide between hamas and israel. >> after decades of failed talks with israel, the president has become increasingly frustrated with u.s. efforts to mediate a middle east peace deal. for now, peace between palestinians since his party. -- seems is priority. >> many people are feared trapped in the rubble of a factory in a pakistan city following a gas explosion. police said at least nine people are kn

palestinian police say some of them were as young as 5 or 6 years old. we understand it collided with a truck, the bus flipped over, and then burst into flames. i should say, there's been very, very heavy rain overnight in this part of the world. the roads were wet, some of them were flooded. i was actually driving in on the same road this morning and got held up in the jams or obviously a lot of the emergency services there. but the road conditions were pretty treacherous. >> three days of national mourning says it all, doesn't it? this is a country in shock. >> it is. and certainly, you know, this is one of the serious, most serious road accidents for palestinians in a long time. one thing that should be pointed out, the number plate of the truck was israeli, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it was an israeli truck driver. in fact, many palestinians or arabing living in israel will drive trucks with an israeli number plate, so i don't think we can read too much into that. >> john, thank you very much indeed, the latest on that dreadful road accid

that israeli citizenship law is denying thousands of palestinians the right to permanently sell down with their israeli spouses and children the government says the law was designed for security reasons but as policy leader now reports it seems the battle against terror could be doing more harm than good tearing apart families . this is the document that's ruining lana's life it makes no mention of a university degree a husband or two children it simply states she's palestinian and therefore illegal and wanted in israel i have a stay here now i. don't have any rights just to breathe. and drink and for me it's not allowed. but lorna chooses the nonlife because it's where her husband and children live by law very israeli whereas the rest of her family live across the border in janine palestine each time we travel during the week. and i and the kids go through. what. i have to walk. until now long as moved between the two worlds with temporary visas issued by television but she's afraid they could stop at the government tightens its grip on an eight year old law denying permanent citize

the palestinian authority must decide. hamas and peace don't go together. >> after decades of failed talks, he has become increasingly frustrated with u.s. efforts to mediate the middle east peace deal. peace between palestinians seems his priority. >> for weeks, tension has been rising between iran and the west. the obama administration imposed even more sanctions. the move comes amid growing tension of the nuclear ambitions. what impact will this increased financial pressure have? these latest sanctions are on the central bank. is there any sign at all of them falling to increase pressure? >> they subjected them to enough pressure to moderate this nuclear ambition. so far, we haven't seen a ing nuclearran change impressions. heobama has said here tha t is prepared to exercise options should they arise. how do you read that? >> and they don't want to take military action, and in the year 2012, it is unlikely whether by the united states or israel. when you talk to members of congress, there is an overwhelming consensus th

leave israel israel says the law is for security purposes and it's trying to prevent palestinians from taking advantage of being able to get an israeli id through marriage and then carry out attacks on israeli citizens but human rights groups don't buy that they petitioned the law arguing that in the last fourteen years more than one hundred fifty thousand palestinians entered israel because of family ties with israelis only fifty four of them were ever found to be a security risk. in upholding the so-called citizenship law the israeli supreme court president said it was one of the most difficult questions in the state's history the battle against terror while at the same time maintaining the nation's democratic nature we are talking about thousands of family that as a result of the decision of the supreme court that validated upheld the law they are now living under the tangible threat of being forcibly separated from their spouses from their children from their parents so we are indeed talking about a huge issue with a huge effect on thousands of people this law is thinking about it.
