next, a debate on the israeli-palestinian conflict and whether the palestinian movement has a right to exist. author is research director of the ayn rand institute. he debated u.s. army strategists at the subculture theater in new york its city -- new york city. event now.main reads, toresolution resolve the israeli-palestinian conflict, israel must first achieve defeat of the palestinian movement. i hope you have voted and ask your neighbor for help if you had trouble accessing the app. vote for, against, or undecided on the resolution. please come to the stage. [applause] arguing to the negative, danny sjurs. please come to the stage. [laughter] -- [applause] please, close the voting. >> thank you for inviting me, danny, thank you for joining the debate. tonight's resolution presupposes the detailed analysis of a hugely complicated conflict. that is the analysis that i offer in my book "what justice demands." let me indicate one crucial part to start with. so much of the debate and discussion of the israeli-palestinian conflict is bound in religious, ethnic, nationalist, tribalist premises. these

for thinking it would be anything better than, and in fact not worse than what we see in the palestinian authority today and .n gaza where you see the evidence for that? >> we don't have the evidence for that because there has been no sovereignty for the palestinians in anything except a statele that is a collaborationist regimet. as muchians have sovereignty as their masters give them. the ones with the american weapons and the american money. they cannot militarily defeat israel that israel cannot defeat them militarily or eat we don't know what real sovereignty would look like because it has not existed since 1948. [applause] >> we have questions from the audience. please ask your question. .> my question is to elan you based a lot of your argument on defeating a movement in the fact that hamas wants to eliminate israel. in american war if someone wants to kill me does not give me the right to kill the person. why do you think americans should support that defeat? >> what we are dealing with is a situation that not governed by american law. the principle is not you have a right to kill the pers

aspectsques rightfully of the plo, aspects of the palestinian authority. what must be remembered is he is one of the preeminent historians in favor of palestinian nationalism, in favor of a palestinian sovereign entity. i think in its current state, it is not feasible, but through honest negotiations, a removal --occupation, and removal of it is feasible? gene: one more question and you can take the podium. -- military occupation. -- occupation, it is feasible. gene: one more question and you can take the podium. elan: i am an atheist and individualist. i am an advocate of liberty. i believe the principle of freedom has to be the framework by which to understand claims in this conflict and the character of the adversaries. i do not accept that we have no basis for thinking that a palestinian -- what a palestinian state would look like. i think we have a great deal of evidence to know what to expect. i think it is the responsibility of anyone advocating for that as favor ofe, anyone in the palestinian state in the present to make the case that it would be a

his bank and personal property were expropriated from him by the palestinian authority in broad daylight. there many examples of this. one other thing to know about the wingtinian authority, the that many argue is dealable with. the leader is one of the people who is invited into the white house. he has that kind of diplomatic status. under the palestinian authority it is a crime to sell land to jews. this as defined by a people's race. the punishment you can get and people actually face is hard labor for life. the maximum penalty is death. keep that in mind. let me turn to look at israel briefly. what i want to argue is that you take seriously the value of human life, human progress, and freedom, is crucial to recognize a stark moral difference and moral inequality between israel and the palestinian movement. israel stands out as a basically free society, one with many flaws and moral failings. yet, it has freedom of speech. it has religious freedom, intellectual freedom, and all citizens regardless of race or creed have the right to vote and be a part of the government. their will be o

the french consulate could not confirm if the woman's association was financed by the palestinian authority. israel considers all their activities in jerusalem illegal. but palestinians he had been due to participate said this was false describing a mother's day themed event to sell crafts made by women from jerusalem. part of a regular series of similar events. for more on this story we can go across our corresponden semi circle in jerusalem good evening sammy has israel a diff reacted and defended why it cancel thursday's event. yes said indeed i it i i've recd a statement. issued by the israeli foreign ministry in there which they are explaining why they took such an action. it says there that the israeli ever presented live in paris he and he spoke to the f french foforeign m ministry and he acty he he perott tested. to the and the french. and he c could protest and regarding the existence of a an advance financeced a and suppord by the palestinian authoririty eighteen f.. french i instituten jerusalem. it goes on and explainss that acaccording to the l law of f te implementation of the

american ministration and the palestinian authority is huge as they do not speak to each other. on top of of the lack of confidence of the palestinians in their leadership they do not have any confidence in the international community so heading to a state of despair which is becoming very very dangerous by the way both in gaza and. in the west bank in addition of course the israeli government is what the administration. does not. not too are in order to get. power again because. it seems that my government the israeli administration do not have any interest in creating any kind of peace process or any kind of negotiations that we lead to a better future for as israelis and for the palestinians so. when when we should phrase violence what kind of violence. by hamas or by the palestinian authority or whether it will be a kind of popular uprising that be here. no one can predict ok but i want to. ask you few more questions about this deal former u.s. ambassador to united nations nikki haley actually lifted the veil a little bit and said that palestinians are set to benefit more fro

in the area who took gaza by force from the palestinian authority while shooting the policeman of the of the palestinian authority throwing them from the roofs of the high buildings and he's coming to our show the first country which you visit and was russia after the two girls over and under the unfortunately the people of gaza are still living under the yoke under the problems of hamas which can lead to good bill and live in peace with nobody they help the jihadists in sinai they are shooting at us because they have this jihadi mindset and unfortunately do world allows it to happen ok we are not going to engineer gaza if they took to gaza we are not going to save the gazans from the from hamas because the gazans actually voted for hamas in two thousand and six and until this very day hamas officially has the majority of the seats of the legislative council of the palestinian authority and they control does a by force and of course they don't like us as when they want to liberate palestine in order to establish a caliphate like isis like country as they had run in gaza so once you kn

the palestinian authority pay stipends to palestinian prisoners in israel their families and the families of palestinians wounded or killed in clashes with israeli. the israeli defense ministry estimates about seven percent of the palestinian authority has annual budget is dedicated to what israel calls terrorist pensions. the al sharif family says it received the equivalent of three hundred fifty euros. i don't know what the money is or maybe it's a gesture of solidarity from the palestinian people or compensation for the loss of a son. but money can't rectify such a loss. but if you can without had nothing can replace him or compensate for losing him over time fighting. so often those stories aren't even reported on or they are you know the smallest reference in the media the most marginal reference and be quickly for the headlines so because this was filmed because all of a sudden there's a whistleblower who's putting it out there in the world. the government needed to respond to the army needed to respond to it and they had no choice essentially but to put him through the legal proces

it has cut of security assistance for the palestinian authority.ying to do the ultimate deal unique have some relationship with palestinians and this makes sense. do you think it is a decision that may be reviewed? do you pick it is sustainable? could it be resented? i would hope they are going to review it, particularly they are going to put a plan on the table, as they say they are. you cannot expect the palestinians to be pa rt cannot expect the palestinians to be part of that process is —— if a the other hand you are also punishing them. did anyone else ask why, why was the money held back? does anybody know? naftali bennett. $300 million is precisely the amount of money that the pa funds the family of murderers, or the money that the pa funds the family of murderers, orthe murderers themselves, and salaries. it would be as if america were funding are some of the light and's family. so they said, no, we don't agree. we will offset every dollar with which they fund terror, we won't give it to them. does that make sense, yes it does. i think you

by hamas or by the palestinian authority or whether it will be a kind of popular uprising that we hear called intifada no one can predict ok but. i ask you about this. former u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley actually lifted the veil a little bit and said that palestinians are set to benefit more from this deal and the israelis would risk more. what do you read in this does this mean that the israeli want to allow trunks i.d.'s as well when i listen. specially to american of voices. during the last twenty years they do not understand the middle east they do not understand palestinians and if you ask me they do not understand is the way i believe should be so. if you ask me about the future deal. might my assumption my assumption is. that. israeli administration will not be too happy. will not be able to accept it because. if again if i understand it is not based on. on the usual assumptions you have to understand the doings the last twenty five thirty years the international community accepted the assumptions of future agreement between palestinians and israelis will be

the perpetrators should be congratulated at the end of february we had a message from the palestinian authority senior officials saying that the risk of violence was increasing in the occupied west bank as a consequence of policies such as the israeli decision to withhold tax revenues as a way of punishing palestinians for their policy of paying sold paying prisoners and attackers who had carried out attacks on israelis currently there is a major military operation underway it's likely that further raids will result from this. repairs are being made to looted shops in the show's ilene's and paris following the latest yellow vest protests french police arrested more than two hundred people as a bank was set on fire and businesses were runs on saturday the president cut short a weekend trip to return to the capital it's the eighteenth successive weekend of protests demanding emanuel macro cuts taxes and the cost of living as human and awkward as more. was a police van becomes a target i'm deeply tested. after weeks of relatively peaceful marches against president emanuel macro economic reforms th

the palestinian authority's foreign ministry said that six of the victims were of palestinian origin. new zealand prime minister jacinda ardern has been calling for unity and support for muslim cocommunities following the horrific attack. on friday, she was a asked abobt her phonone call with president trtrump. >>>> i spoke with donanald trump thisis morning. he sought to call us dirirectly. he v very much w wished for hihs condolences to be papassed on to new zealand.. he asked w what offer ofof suppt the united states could providee loveage was sympathy and for all muslim communities. amy: prime minister ardern has been widely praised for her response to the attacks. in the immediate aftermath, the youngest female head of state in the world vowowed to reform n laws, visited with muslim communities in new zealand, wearing a hijab as a sign of respect. she also recently pledged to never use the terror suspect's name, instead calling on people to speak the names of those killed in the attacks. we will have more on the muslim community in new zealand after headlines. the daily beast is

intifada and rewrite this is exactly what happened on the other hand there is a contradicting palestinian authority that tells you look all what we wanted is to see the end of occupation and to get our freedom and our state and all what we sow . is more settlements more row blocks more military units and every single the conspiracy american israeli conspiracy in order to build more settlements to gain more time and to come to us and to tell us listen it's too bloody late you know it's that we we we cannot bring hundreds of thousands of set us back to israel as we do not see their narrative they do not see our narrative and what we really need is someone from outside in the past we had the americans we lost them because. they lost the palestinians so they say can not intermediate between us and the palestinians so somebody from outside should come and telling us look from outside is exactly what i see and the international community i couldn't care less so i'm afraid i'm afraid that we are heading. to. i don't know. a very good future whether it will be a kind of intifada. or whether it will be a ki

of mine the taelorn of mine, force act, which prevents american dollars from benefiting the palestinian authority until to those whoment commit brutal acts of terror. every single democrat, every single one of the caucus signed a letter to the secretary-general of the united nations expressing concern about their vicious anti-israel bias. and democrats united unanimously supported the united states israel security assistance authorization act. it happened to be blocked by a republican senator but it would be wrong to say he represents the entire republican party and i never will. [applause] schumer: not only is it demonstrably false to say democrats are anti-israel, it also hurts the israel-u.s. relationship. plain and simple the democratic party supports israel and we will continue to do so and we will maintain that bipartisan relationship through thick and thin. israel depends on it. so whenever i led a piece of pro-israel legislation even when democrats at the vast majority. those were the days.

his bank and personal property by thetirpated from him palestinian authority in by daylight. >> i havestion, why is it, and this is hypothetical, to givesrael sustained to palestinians? it seems problematic. if there's a right for israel to exist, there is an equivalent right of palestinians to exist, yet in this tiling, it is somehow that israel that has the right to grant what has been called a quasi-state to the palestinians, which is more than -- little more than an open-air prison. it is little more than a collaborationist regime in many ways. my opponent spoke in his early remarks about a pro-freedom perspective. i agree that should be the framework. what about the life and situation of living, breathing palestinians in gaza today who lack civil rights, the basic in israel,f arabs who do not have the same jews, but who live under military operation 50 years after the war, in defiance of every single ruling of any international court or organization. >> you can see this entire debate on the israeli-palestinian conflict tonight on c-span at 8:00 p.m. eastern. sunday night, on q and

the movement they have been under siege for so long and there has been measures taken by the palestinian authority that has limited the financial stability of the. rule in the gaza strip that has been also many people who actually today that has been attempted protest in the gaza strip to talk about the increased cost of living and the tough situations on the ground and as well as it have come at a time with hamas is discussing with the israelis a potential cease fire deal so all of this will tell us that there is an interest in a stability in the gaza strip and not an escalation let's speak to the coeditor of his joining us via skype from new york thanks for speaking to us on al-jazeera first we'll talk about the rocket attacks into television of hamas is denying responsibility as well as islamic jihad and hamas saying those behind the attacks are violating the factional and national consensus what do you make of their denial in that statement. well how mouse and you have are not known as movements that would shy away from taking responsibility from their actions if anything else the movements ha

the palestinian authority is isolated. after the election, do you think one or the other party might talk to the administration about changing some of this, particularly because of the security forces of the palestinians helped to protect israel along with protecting p.a., or do you think the pressure on the right will be such that it will just collapse? >> what i would say is that in this sense, i also think that this is another dimension along which there is, i have to be careful here, some similarity between the situation in israel and the situation in the u.s. which is to say broadly speaking, the gap between the professional level and the political level. so if you ask me do i see some kind of a constellation of the israeli political level who would go to the trump administration and say this is too dangerous, then i would say at this point, maybe, maybe again, if blue/white by some miracle forms the next government or is a major party to the next government, then i could see some of them, i don't know publicly but qui

say are the palestinians in gaza hold israel responsible for their suffering they hold the palestinian authority who have imposed a punitive measures for more than two years on the two million palestinian also in gaza responsible and also how muscle is the de facto government in gaza is responsible for the deterioration of the living conditions and that's why the two weeks ago hundreds of thousands of palestinians put this is an end in the middle of the streets of gaza again as hard as this put this to the ghettos the living conditions on the slogan was we wanted to know if we wanted to live a dignified life but unfortunately hamas does in a value brutal way it doesn't it security forces do it in a very brutal way again is that often in book this those of us thing on does of them beaten also hundreds of them which was which give a very negative image of how the us and its security forces in the gaza strip so here you go you have the palestinian people in a very very tight spot their leadership also aggression against them across the border they're having you know there's conflict there too what
