this is disagreeable to some jews in the world. >> i want to go -- we'll be talking to peter beinart about that. it's a controversial and very interesting book. let me ask you, though, about what the prime minister had to say specifically about iran. is he bellicose? is he going too far? what do the israeli people support when it comes to israeli strikes against iran right now? >> i think the average israeli certainly shares netanyahu's and defense minister ehud barak's general alarm. they certainly understand that iran is an implacable enemy. everyone understands. and everyone agrees also that their nuclear program constitutes a menace. all of this is not a subject of debate here. the question is what do to do in the face of this. i think that the average israeli is concerned that somebody might on the spur of the moment be tempted to resort to an adventure. and doing the right thing is one thing, and resorting to an adventure is another thing. and israelis, at least who are middle-aged remember very, very i would say traumatically the adventure of 1982 in lebanon. this is one thing

peter beinart sheer, the editor of the daily beast blog, open zion. his latest book called the crisis of zionism t warrants that this dream of democratic israel is in danger. i am pleased to have pelter back at this table. well well-- welcome. >> thank you. >> rose: let's review where we are in terms of a two state solution is it slipping away in your judgement. and what must happen to reis verse that slide. >> i fear it is slipping away. there have been no really meaningful negotiations since 2009. and the end of 2008. it is not clear whether the palestinians are serious about what they would need to do to make a two state solution work. and israel keeps subsidizing jews to move to the west bank, thus making it harder for the palestinians to ever have a viable contiguous state. >> the palestinians will ultimately probably have to make pretty wrenching con connections for them, especially on the right of return, the right of palestinian refugees who were forced out in 1948 to return to their original homes not one has ever been quite clear whether the

. >> rose: we continue this evening with peter beinart's new book called "the crisis of zyonism" >> israel has to take a serious risk with the creation of the palestinian state. i make that very clear in the book. i'm not saying that there are not risks to the creation of the palestinian state for israel there are risks. risks that rockets could be fired from the west bank into israel. risks of terrorism from the west bank. but foreign policy is always about the balance of risk. >> rose: we conclude this evening with tim weiner, his new book about the history of the fbi. >> what i really learned about hoover is that he was not a monster. he was an american machiavelli. and he is the man who created the national security system we have today, really. and the surveillance state we have today. every camera on every street corner, every fingerprint, every bit of biometric data that is on file is a monument to him. >> rose: ahmed rashid, peter beinart and tim weiner when we continue. funding for charlie rose was provided by the following. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our stu
