trying to limit civilian casualties but a mosque is making this impossible and that's what paul heard johnson from the israeli foreign ministry told us earlier. we possibly can to limit and to. restrict the civilian casualties in very difficult circumstances you this is precisely the reason why we did not want to be in this conflict in the first place we said so repeatedly loud and clear we also did through through quietly through the diplomatic channels the quiet would be all incidents quiet it's a terrible terrible tragedy that's that's unfolding it before our eyes responsibility for which lies dying at the doorstep of some us who are deliberately locating themselves in civilian neighborhoods in order to draw fire and they have abused the palestinian people and will be judged very badly by by history for that . now the actions of israel in gaza have been supported at a rally in paris the other israeli embassy at the same time hundreds to the streets of the french capital to denounce the israeli offensive paris has been the scene of numerous pro israeli and pro palestinian rallies since the

i memorized james weldon johnson, paul laurence dunbar, countee cullen and langston hughes. i memorized shakespeare, whole plays, 50 sonnets. i memorized edgar allen poe, all the poetry -- never having heard it, i memorized it. i had longfellow, i had guy de maupassant, i had balzac, rudyard kipling. i mean, it was catholic kind of reading, and catholic kind of storing. when i decided to speak, i had a lot to say, and many ways in which to say what i had to say. i listened to the black minister, i listened to the melody of the preachers, and i could tell when they would start up on that kind of thing, when you know they mean to take our souls straight to heaven, or whether they meant to dash us straight to hell, i understood it. so out of this evil, which was a dire kind of evil -- because rape on the body of a young person, more often than not, introduces cynicism, and there is nothing quite so tragic as a young cynic, because it means the person has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing. in my case i was saved in that muteness, you see. in the sordida, i was saved

earlier i spoke to cory johnson and paul kedrosky.tarted by asking paul whether this will really hurt amazon that much. >> i think it is wacky. it makes so little sense that i have to assume it is about something other than what it seems. my analogy, imagine if tower records had done the same thing back in the dying days of cds. in the age of digital delivery they said, we will find a way to quickly get cds to your house. does this mean now you promise not to buy things off itunes? it doesn't change anything. there is an alternative, having them delivered digitally. i don't have to wait for four hours later. if i want a book, i can have it right now. i assume this is using the arnzen noble shrinking balance sheet to help google run an experiment that will ultimately have nothing to do with them. >> i have compared them. amazon has almost everything that barnes & noble has but at a cheaper price. more vendors, more things to choose from. how do you compete with that? >> that has been the problem for barnes & noble for quite a long time

joining me now to tell me more about this is our editor-at-large cory johnson, and we have paul sweeneym bloomberg intelligence. shareholderned by a , lawrence haverty. let's start with your thoughts, larry. what do you think of rupert murdoch withdrawing the proposal? >> it is very simple. you cannot do a hostile takeover in this industry. it is a creative business, you cannot disturb the creative thought in a hostile manner. if you're going to merge two entities, needs to be on a peaceful basis. this is not the first time that rupert has had to walk away from a deal. when that happened there was a lot of controversy but he bought a lot of stock and we made a lot of money. i think that is what is going to happen here. byhas announced he will about $6 billion worth of stock in it is very cheap compared to the business and i think the stock will go up a lot. >> really? i have such respect for larry haverty, but i think you are very wrong. hostile mergers is rupert in the name of the game. and over.e this over the notion, as i think about this, the notion that he would walk away from his

obama democratic leaders that there are democrats like grayson and hank johnson are who are out there just as loud as rands paul saying there is time to use legislation to demilitaryize police forces across the country. there's a larger consensus that's it's bad politics to take weaponry away from local police, from law enforcement at a national level and from the military because it's sort of like the willie horton impulse, nobody wants to take that vote and have something bad happen and have political opponents runs against them. >> isn't that representative of national security and sort of anti-terror crusading becoming increasing the third race in american politics? you can talk about entitlement programs and what you might do or not do but touching the issue of security is politically almost krip tonite. >> yeah, you saw -- this left/right civil libertarian alliance does something on capitol hill. the house passed an amendment that would ban dhs from using its funds to go after medical marijuana. and that was sort of a surprise. but when you talk about other issues like nsa surveillance, you had a close vo

even rand paul editorializing in today's time magazine agrees this is insane meanwhile earlier today georgia democratic congressman hank johnson announced that he plans to file legislation aimed at curbing the militarization of local police forces the scenes coming out of ferguson illustrate the stupidity of war and the stupidity of our corrupt political system putting weapons of war in our streets just to add the wallets of the multi-billion dollar defense contractors who own thanks to our supreme court who own our politicians as a huge body of research starting with the milgram experiments that shows that when you take a normal everyday person and give them authority and anonymity it will more often than not behave in antisocial or even violent ways and that's exactly what we're seeing with the police and ferguson who are acting more like an occupying army than men and women who are supposed to protect and serve their community. this insanity has to stop now it's time to demilitarize our police and shut down government sponsored programs that send weapons of war. to police departments and small towns across america there's a
