go palestinian say peace negotiations are impossible while settlement expansion continues his policy is following developments. what we're hearing is that the israeli government has announced it will be building more than a thousand housing units across the green line on palestinian land now the purpose of the housing units is to try and help alleviate the shortage of accommodation particularly among young israeli couples in the jerusalem area but no doubt this announcement will draw the anger of the international community as indeed have similar announcements in the past so it does not bode well for any kind of resumption of peace talks between the israelis and the palestinians it seems out a strong message that the netanyahu government is not interested in sitting down and talking with the palestinians while at the same time continuing to build settlements on palestinian land while we're talking palestinians in the west bank are celebrating and this is because of the release last night sunday of five hundred and fifty palestinian prisoners from israeli jails this was the second pha

peace is not a utopian vision. it can happen but it takes people willing to commit both their faith and their practical efforts to achieving it and you're not going to achieve that by constantly falling back on yesterday's wrong solution you have to have the guts to try something new. and. people who are applying for conscience objection and refusing military service are saying i have a different picture of to morrow's humanity and i want to be involved in creating that. no one really wants to go to war but you know sometimes some things can be the water. wars all about. like all different cultures a fight for power as well as that one person try to take the power from some other person a force it is of always reward. well maybe we are not. maybe it starts out being leaving them. as more people become conscious objectors as more people and praise the concept of pacifism then it's not no longer naive like you may have been naive to say that we can reach the moon. being naive you know people might have looked at you

depart from those parameters that particular parameter of the peace settlement which of course makes it even more difficult to restart the negotiations but the record is still active if there is a room in the security council to do something and let me tell you that there is a lot of frustration among members of the security council about the fact that the security council has not been doing anything on the palestinian issue and a number of members of the security council i'm not talking about the russian delegation a number of members of the security council say when you have to have a resolution which will reconfirm those parameters well we tried to have a resolution on the on the settlement some time ago but it was vetoed by the united states so a lot of frustration is there but hopefully both sides exercise restraint and. i should say that we have seen some positive movement from hamas politically in terms of their sort of palestinian reification but when the from us on the bus and also there moderating their political stand we believe and we have sort of moving trying to move th
