most palestinians see the palestinian authority as corrupt. you are doing yourselves no favours.d there is a need to renew our democratic process. in fact, as we speak now, the government has confirmed the date of the local government elections, which is a very important pillar of our democratic process. this is a decision by the president. we want to respect our own election process and its duration. four years, mean four years. now, for the president, you know he was elected democratically and we are one of the very few nations in this region that really do adhere to the democratic processes. forgive me, when you're mandate lasts for years, when you're mandate lasts for years and it was achieved 13 years ago, you don't have any legitimacy any more. we do have legitimacy because president abbas is the president of the plo, of the palestine liberation organisation, which is much higher, even than the pa. the pa was only established to fulfil our responsibilities under oslo, which israel has failed miserably. he does have the national legitimacy. he was elected. the question is, d

what do we do with our palestinian neighbors? the records that the israeli cabinets in 1967, asking his cabinet members do not have to reenact, but how do we do with 2 million arabs. that's how we asked that question. the only answer out or can do during all of the elements is separate and pursue the idea of a two state solution whereby palestinians will have their own state living side-by-side with israel and of course a clear understanding of security concerns. in 1947, the u.n. general assembly has adopted a resolution calling for two nations, tuesday. this is about time after the years that we pursue this option aggressively. despite the impediment, despite terror in order to pursue this comment in order to preserve israel as the nation's date of the jewish people. israel is faced with two major threats. one from the house right, iran. the vile enemy which destabilizes the region supports our worst enemy with the sunni moderate nations who want to go on a regional opportunity and on the other hand, the other threat from insid

but peace also has to mean security for every palestinian. it means achieving self-determination, civil rights, and economic well-being for the palestinian people. along with secretary clinton, senator sanders helped establish a new standard for informed and helpful discourse on israel and the democratic party as the candidates showed that politicians can win support from pro he's rai israel voters. in this difficult new era, we have entered, with we know that senator sanders will be an important voice standing up to dangerous and bigoted policies, and standing up for leadership that benefits all americans and holds true to our democratic values at home and abroad. it is my honor to welcome to the stage senator bernie sanders. >> thank you. thank you. thank you, richard. let me begin by thanking -- thank you. let me begin by thanking j street for inviting me to be with you here today. it is an honor and a pleasure to be standing with an organization that has shown incredible courage, taking on some very difficult opposition, but understanding

we would both like the palestinians and israelis to live side-by-side. so really why has this not happened? and i think here is part of the reason that i wrote the book, the book tries to explain that this conflict has a very long history. we're coming on almost a century of conflict beginning in 1929 whenever the course of one weekend arab rioters destroyed the jewish community of hebron which had been in place lit lally isn'tries then a rioted in 1936 when the peele commission came from britain. and they decided, they looked at the maps, the jews, the arab and said in 1936 the jews and arab ares are not going to be able to living to. we have a radical idea, let's divide the land. the jews thought they were getting all of that land plus on the other side of the jordan river, peele said you are getting a small piece of what is now israeli. the zionist, they mr. very unhappy, and they said yes. and the arabs were very-- let me finish. the arabs were very unhappy and launched the riots of 1936, 1937. in 1947 when the u.n. par tition commission began to dis

the west bank, the reality is 2.7, 2.8 palestinians.dst of them, more than 400,000 israelis. this reality is terrible from the standpoint of israel, not only from the palestinians. to ignore that and to wait for the palestinians to somehow a appease theehow demands, israel must recognize hand,upon her to extend a to come up with a proposition out of a position of power. it will never change. starts to feel quite long. eternity has always felt quite long. you're right in the sense that i think this has a much longer process. ehud barak would tell you that he did extend a hand but it was rebuffed. bill clinton would tell you that that was exactly right. you have sort of a third-party who acknowledge that's the case. i don't buy the idea that israel has never reached out. i think israel has reached out. israel has no military threat in the region, that's not entirely the case depending on what fills the vacuum in the west bank. that's why israel is insisting on a military presence along the jordan river. israel is insisting on that because

an israel that recognizes the dignity and the security of both the palestinians and the israelis.t, that is the israel we know and love, as friends, allies and advocates for israel. that is the future we must continue to champion. and when people sometimes say to me, the united states is so overwhelmingly partial to israel in this discussion, i say, yes, of course. we have been friends for a long time. we have shared values. we have shared values. and they are, we are friends. so we don't want to interfere in a negotiation, impose anything, but we do share the values of a secure, democratic, jewish israel. that is why i hope we can come together on efforts to oppose, boycott divestment sanctions. that is why we must come together on efforts to counter the iranian ballistic missile threat, building on the obama administration's leadership in imposing unilateral sanctions more than a year ago. [ applause ] and i want to commend the obama administration for its support of sharing intelligence and making sure in a stronger way than ever before that israel have a qualitative advantage

palestinians have been very concerned by his stance so far.ident ever and mr netanyahu the prime minister of israel is one of the first foreign visitors to the white house. since then mr trump has taken positions that seem to favour the right wing in israel. he has been ambivalent about a two state solution. he has chosen as his ambassador somebody on the far right of the political spectrum, as well as one of his key advisers in the white house he has tasked and envoy for middle east peace, his son—in—law, an orthodox due. dump —— an orthodox orthodox due. he says if you want to make that deal, and that is what he said the telephone call, then he would have to meet mr abbas. it sounds like that will happen. —— orthodox due. why'd you think this visit has been announced now?|j expect visit has been announced now?” expect because mr trump called mr abbas now. we don't really know about the timing of what mr com has in mind forany about the timing of what mr com has in mind for any initiative in the middle east but he certainly wanted to get the

the palestinians are entitled to a homeland. and a two-state solution is the only viable path forward for israel. as secretary kerry said, and i quote, if the choice is one state, israel can either be jewish or democratic. it cannot be both, end quote. given mr. friedman's past staunch support for a one-state solution and expansion of israeli settlements, is he really ready and able to embrace and put forward opposing policy positions? can he ever be viewed by the palestinians and the international community as an honest broker? i'm under no illusion about how difficult it will be to achieve peace between israel and the palestinians. many presidents and able diplomats have tried and failed to achieve settlement, but the united states must continue to do its best to reach an accord. and above all, we should not make the current situation worse. we need a steady hand in the middle east. i'm not convinced that mr. friedman is qualified for this job with no diplomatic experience and a history of extreme positions and imtemperament l

[ applause ] >> let me just say a few words about peace. i still believe peace is possible. i do. but it requires leadership. how can we ask israel to make peace with the palestinian authority that forms a unity government with hamas? how can we ask israel to make peace with a government that insights anti-semitism and violence and then goes and names public squares after terrorists? how can we ask israel to offer painful concessions in the name of peace when the other side still refuses to acknowledge her right to exist? this to me is the crux of the issue. we've heard the case that this is all about settlements. that if israel just stopped being we would have peace tomorrow. let's just look at the facts for a second. when israel offered the palestinians 95% of the west bank and 100% of gaza at camp david in 2000 and even greater concessions in 2008 they

impose terms on negotiations with the palestinians ever.nited states should have vetoed resolution 2334 in december and it should never ever use the u.n. as a forum to put pressure on israel for any kind of agreement.

i can't see any way the palestinians would accept a two-side situation. and nikki haley later confirmed -- by the way she has been spectacular so far on a number of issues where she's -- as tom said it's not enough for the u.n. ambassador or secretary of defense to always clarify things. the president needs to worry about it as well. but her comment that we still of course support a two state solution is helpful and to me reassuring. on the broad question you raised i'm going to make a comment that may or may not speak to it. it's a tying together of all the different situations where -- we're discussing today. but yes the united states has a lot of challenges. china rising, other countries creating infrastructure, you know, better bases, china expanding the access. you know, of all the countries in the world i would prefer our problems over anybody else's. if you think about the way we look at the world today, we still have that $600 billion military budget. we're worried up here about whether it's enough. thank god we can have that conversation when we

palestinians were facing a military charged with policing.

and the example is probably most visible in terms of the israeli/palestinian conflict.of the things that we are working towards and working on with a number of other organization is actually trying to make u.n. resolution 1325 a reality. it was passed in the year 2000 by the united nations. it was accepted in israel in 2005 and has never been accepted -- has never been a plan in united states. but it's to have the role of women's voices lifted up. you saw what happened. the women's march didn't -- was rather an unbelievable happening. and one of the things we did as national council of jewish women was that we decided that not only would we officially sponsor it once we did our due diligence around questions that we had and concerns we had, but that we would sit on the policy committee because we did not want it to pk an anti-israel bashing opportunity, which it did not, and the organizers stayed true to their commitment. and that we would -- unlike, marches previously that many us of participated in, that we would try to organize the jewish commune to march and be toge

what it means is, until the palestinian authority comes to the table, until the u.n. responds the way they're supposed to, there are no freebies for the palestinian authority anymore.
