and then you have pro-palestinian people saying palestine will be free., because that sort of wipes out problem and therefx could eventually be some sort of solution like a two state solution. host: david in arizona on our opposed line. caller: good morning. i have sympathy for the innocent combatants in gaza that are experiencing all of this trouble in the war. as far as the protests are concerned in the united states, i think right after october 7, the people in celebrating in the streets what had happened, not unlike what happened when the twin towers came down and that is plain wrong. i understand free speech and straight so i opposed the protes against what israel has been trying to do toh, and rescuedhe hostages. there will be casualties. celebrating a massacre it really bothered me. that is just wrong and the protests in israel against the because the government is not listening to the people of israel and they -- the ruling party needs to listen to need to stop celebrating death and destruction by the hands of terroris. that is all i have to say.

they are not pro-hamas. let's not forget. netanyahu worked with hamas to divide and conquer and he allowed funneling of money to hamas. it stopped all of the bombings and suicide bombings inside of israel. they were a piece for a long time. they are frustrated that the two state solution is expanding all the time. occupation had been going on for 80 years. many israeli leaders want to have them removed from palestine. that is what is happening over there. the media here, i can remember in ukraine, one reporter gets injured, they only cover it for half an hour. how many reporters were killed in gaza? they hardly had any coverage. i used to watch msnbc 24/7. i thought that they were for democracy and against violence. covering this stuff with what is going on. >> we got your point. thank you. >> as a point of professional promotion here. watch more frontline. the film that we made includes what he has discussed about his approach to hamas over the years. it gives information about that. frontline has reported on what is happeni

she's pro european as far as of now and during her government, and she is pro rule of law. so these are the 3 criteria. and the pro cr ukrainian stance. marine the fan in the past, i must say in the past has been thoughtful, you know, with our stance pro russia. um so um i think in the case that the majorities will be that fund the line needs some more votes than maybe just the social democrats and greens or so or doesn't get done about. i think she will rely on the conservatives of the of the c, r group and the fatality, the tire. i think she will rely on either talking about these 3 criteria to be pro european if you're willing to do it seems like a pretty low standard d space. and i think you know, that there's like one point and it's really interesting, but from the line doesn't mentioned that because from the line had one like really central unimportant project within like a 1st 5 years was the green deal. it was one of the major projects and i think to her it must be really clear that you can't follow that you can't really finish the green d a when she's 6 full suppor

host: if you are from seattle washington, this is scott on the pro line. caller: good morning. we had some pretty bad protests out there at the university of washington but i'm just surprised how many people -- i don'twhere they got the idea that they should be supporting hamas as much as they were. 6i think i would draw the line there. i don't know. yes, they had a hard time controlling these and this comes the reasons they don't want them causing problems in other neighboring arabic countries, but i would just think that whatever happens, they can't really be trusted. i wouldn't trust them with a tablespoon of cement. this business of going out and dressing up in women's clothing or whatever and just fading into the crowd. they can't put a uniformfight. if they would just do something likehat, or even just negotiate in good faith. i think things would be better. guest: so i think what scott just said there is obviously a controversial statement about portraying all of these protesters as pro-hamas. it is a portrayal that is in some cases may be correct, but not necessarily a

so they go head to head with deep pro. you party that is now in power and in this calculation to goes as a resource for the pro russian party on it. i'm sure there is now governing there. and it is also a source of instability, a way to disrupt the work of more different governments. so she may not be there, and reagan, thank you very much. and we go to brazil now whether wells biggest whitland is on 5. the pantano region, which is about the size of england is phone to about 5 as doing dry season spot this year. the well, 5 seasons started earlier and is more intense environmental as well. that if more is not done, nearly all of the wetlands will be gone in a few decades. tend to know should be flooded, right now. instead, it's burning the fires in this wetland have increased tenfold compared to last year . the intensity of a mix, residents, i'm certain about the future. anytime it feels sadness when i see the destruction of sinus to see essentially like this come to an end. so must life ends in these claims. this wetland

and now are involved in the pro palestinian women. so part of what people absolutely need to know is that around the world and around the country and at columbia, do or students in jewish faculty are part of these protests. they're actually crucial to be in camp meant that happened. i was involved in a passover seder in the encampment. it was just beautiful or about a 100 students and faculty at that cedar. and there were non jews who were mulling around and try and learning to participate for the 1st time in the middle of the pro palestinian and countenance, which is just one example of how this idea that pro palestinian speech is anti semitic is flat wrong. and it, i think has been organized both by those who wants to continue us government support for israel and others. and we're really seeing the danger of this because this conflation of criticism of israel and the anti jewish patriot allows them to use the law to use the administration to silence pro palestinian speech. because they can say it's discrimination and harassment whic
