hello and welcome to worlds apart these really palestinian conflict has long been for trade as the root cause of all problems in the middle east but the subjugation of palestinians as brutal and oppressive as it was also had a certain political utility for decades it served as a clue for muslim states which otherwise had little in common and now that the arab spring dispelled the illusion of arab a muslim community where doesn't believe the israeli palestinian issue well to discuss that i'm now doing by god a car me a palestinian all star and academic dr karmi thank you very much for your time now i know that you've been very vocal in artsy collating that what was done to the palestinians and what is still being done to the palestinians is a crime and i totally agree with you on that issue but i also think that this enormous crime has also become politically expedient to many countries and especially in the arab world some arab states politicize this issue not only do you support the palestinian cause but even more so to advance their own political goals would you agree with that yeah i

not just the palestinians. we should fight arabs and jews to preserve that. >> my opinion is that both sides, people are tired, fatigued and brainwashed and they will not reeble in a way that they would march? the streets. people are saying i care about my four corners and my garden, and it's out of my control and i don't see this rebellion happening. >> clearly i'm the optimist of 2002 of us. in fact, i believe that rather than creating two separate states, one israeli and one palestinian, that we should have a one-state solution where everyone shares in the same land and has equal rights. i know i'm in the minority with this idea. still, the situation in the west bank and in israel is so complicated now that you have a scrambled situation, where the israelis are living amongst palestinians, and palestinians are living amongst israelis, and the question really is how to separate the two people. one of the israeli intellectuals that dealt with this binational situation which we are in is the former deputy mayor

that the palestinian into father was an inspiration for them. in a sense the palestinians provided the model for these uprisings this is a historical process at you cannot this early on in historical process i think you cannot say it succeeded it hasn't succeeded it will never happen etc you have to understand that it will take more time to see which we were going you just mentioned that you see the palestinian intifada as a model for arab revolutions and i think that it was a feeling shared by many just a couple of years ago but i think the crucial difference here is that palestinians have been fighting for their cause for decades whereas what happened in many of the arab states egypt would be one libya would be another syria is also very last or two for example here that in pursuing what seem to be very legitimate goals people in many of those caught countries they did away with many of the children's that they have and for the sake of democracy many of the other values were abandoned for example social cohesion the respect of minorities the r

palestinian camps but look in the syrian case it's particularly tragic because syria. serious treatment of the palestinian refugees is without question the best in the whole of the arab world. at the palace in reducing the fence to say that they felt well treated that they were like syrians but for the fact that they weren't given a syrian national team now coming back to the concept of arab or muslim you need to reach a police in the past i think was aided by the palestinian cause there was a pressure to rally behind palestinians and supported them in some way or form now israel still remains a hated party and cross the region but i think what has changed is that arabs themselves how become each other's worst enemies they're fighting wars vertically or openly and long themselves and i know that many palestinian activists in the past blamed israel for trying to you saw divisions among various palestinian factions so when we speak about this larger middle eastern context how much of that violence could be blamed on the arabs themselves and how much of it could be blamed

is this something the palestinians have to get over, simply? >> i think it will be a very tough issue, but most of the settlers will be deemed to be on the israeli side of the line. but let me make a few points about things that came out in recent remarks. what has changed now is that the arab-israeli conflict is a sunni -- shia conflict. you have all of these in turmoil. all of the enemies are in turmoil. hezbollah, iran, they are all fighting. second point, even benjamin netanyahu has been talking about this not working. talking about a referendum. that is a way to get around. if the israeli public buys what comes out of the nine months of negotiation, the referendum will support a peace agreement. finally, as i said earlier. they have an opportunity now that hamas has lost this theory in patron. they have split with hezbollah. and now, egypt has turned against them. they are on their own right now and cannot do that much damage. there is one issue that they have to work out. even jimmy carter, who is no friend of israel, he said at most one

prisoners i mean how are palestinians rethinking that is that a good enough. uh the first announcement came in the first twenty sixth through snow's first twenty six prisoners a large number of men were in jail for say twenty years and they were scheduled to be released a month from today so this new person released say about one month of twenty years in prison that's literally the case and you go through the prisoners one by one but let me say for argument's sake these were authentic and gender and genuinely. prisoner releases and not. on the basic quid pro quo is israel says the powers that we will give you why one should presume there is an exchange where you're taking ten percent of your country. then you have to decide if the a cell is that a fair exchange. good point when you pose it that way especially when they have thousands upon thousands of prisoners from palestine for some really small level crimes here one out of palestine has been recognized as a nonmember state by the un does that give them any more leverage at the negotiating table. oh problem
