you know mahmoud abbas the so-called president of the palestinian authority perhaps. has reached a point of compromise that most palestinians really disagree with. and i personally find his compromises very appalling considering what our people have been going through here that someone like mahmoud abbas still couldn't find common ground with benjamin netanyahu a very good or a lieberman and many others because this guy has made it very clear not only they don't want negotiated peace and they don't want a settlement that abides by international law their own doing their own thing and they are not abashed at all by doing the fervent build up and is drusilla i'm the settlement freeze of this book about the last year has all been made up for and there is more under construction throughout the west bank in the legal settlements than in any other years in the last five years and that's according to peace now which is an israeli organization so the israelis have given no indications whatsoever that they are keenly interested in peace the only want to get back to the so-calle

as you know, there is a movement afoot in the palestinian authority to declare a unilateral state, in violation of the oslo accords, supported by most other countries. what will america do? if president obama boats with the u.n. in favor of the unilateral palestinian state, and if he should decide to run for president, would you reverse that decision of american recognition of a unilateral palestinian state? >> there are a lot of couples in their. but let us say this. it would be reprehensible and wrong for the united states of america to proceed to a request by the palestinian authority to declare an independent state. >> we ought to make this the last question so you guys can get some food. >> what are your views about reform of the tax code? >> historically, the government has spent about 18.8% of gdp and our taxes have been roughly that level. whatever no. we agree upon, taking number and say the federal government is not going to spend more than that level. i am not looking for ways to have the highest income people pay a smaller share of taxes. i know there are some people who w

it was a document signed by the palestinian authority with many concessions and the israeli government refused it. we must say who is against the peace? who is not willing? what you need more than that, documented in writing. they signed and even it was signed by the palestinian people. they were criticized. how can you give concession without discussing it, but it was rejected. so we must save him from this terrible time, which doesn't lead to anywhere. and other questions i can answer you after we finished. >> hello. i hope i get the historical references correct. during the operation has to lead, when your house was shelled, you were frequently on radio, and very movingly so. and my recollection is that mark may have been a major from the idf -- mark rogoff? spokesperson. any case, the point is the spokesperson said impossible. we know this may. we know him very well. we will follow up on a. so i wonder if they did speak with you know, it happened, what is important, it happened. and the most important for me is the impact. the impact, three girls were killed and others were severel

israeli reaction, i understand it, i agree with it, but the quick israeli quote was fattah, the palestinian authorityto make a choice. a choice between hamas or peace with us. agreed. yes. a palestinian entity that does not reject violence, and does not recognize the state of israel, that does not agree to the past agreements will not make peace with israel. america will not recognize it. agreed. but that's not a policy. that's not smart thinking. smart thinking is, okay, let's think, these two warring factions, fattah and hamas, have just potentially entered into an agreement. there maybe meaningful palestinian elections in roughly a year. what can the friends in israel do in the upcoming 12 months and what can we do in america in the upcomes 12 months to help those that participate in the election that will promote policies that will be beneficial to israel and to america? to peace in the region, and to the rightful -- the rightful demands to the palestinian people for dignity and respect. : >> i was talking to someone who believes that jerusalem will need to be a shared capital and that the palest

there is a movement for the palestinian authority to declare a unilateral state with a vote coming up in the fall in the u.n., supported by most of ies, particularly terrorist support to countries. if president obama and votes with the u.n. in favor of the palestinian state, and if you should decide to run for president, when you become president, would you reversed the decision of american recognition of unilaterally declared palestinian state? but there are a lot of hypothetical in there. it would be reprehensible and wrong for the united states to receive -- to given to a request for that state. the israelis and palestinians will have to negotiate among themselves. we ought to make this the last question so that you can get some food. i hate standing between an audience and lunch. [laughter] >> what are your views about the reform the tax code? if you are in favor of it, can you tell us in what ways? would you make revenue neutral? would you use it as an opportunity to cut down the deficit? >> what i would like to do is have a cap on federal spending as a percentage of our gdp. the

you have to relate to the real problems. >> is president abbas the leaders of the palestinian authorityommitted to the peace process? >> in my judgment, yes. i think this is maybe the best group we could have. >> you should tank advantage of that opportunity and negotiate peace with them. >> right, yes. they, too, have their own conditions, and the israel has their own conditions too. the get these maybe more psychological criteria, but the psychological itself is a problem, went we are handling it in a fluent matter. i hope it's possible to bridge the differences between president abbas and prime min steer. i won't go into details and i won't give up the hope that we can reopen the negotiations. >> have you seen this initiative, this israeli peace initiative that # 00 israelis signed including former leaders of the military, security services calling for palestinian state basically in the pre-67 borders, including the capitol in east jerusalem. >> yes. >> do you support the initiative in >> i have to support the policy of the government. it's a democratic country, and it's my dear resp
