it is known as the west bank, really it is the judea and samaria land that goes back 4,000 years ago when abraham promised to it his desen dents. >> what are the biblical implication and where does benjamin netanyahu fall in all of this. i would think he has a lot of pressure. >> i would think so. he is getting pressure from all sides. president obama put pressure on him to stop this legislation in congress that would defund the palastinians. that is one thing from the united states from the quote unquote international community, the quartet. he is getting pressure within his own political party. if he goes too far, he threatens his own coalition. the left siding with the palastinian, what they perceive is peace. he is trying to hold the line. certain things people may not see, hamas controls the gaza strip and half the population of the palastinians. they are a group dedicateed to the destruction of israel. they have been glorifying terrorists that have killed jews around the land. these are things he has been dealing with. right acro a cross roads. >> chris mitchell, thank you for

this scroll actually reveals that the real jewish promised land is not the land of judd aya and samaria but right here in halifax, canada. yeah, yeah. >> jon: the biblical jewished promised land. >> uh-huh. >> jon: is halifax. >> no, no, actually, john it's pronounced challifax. try it. >> jon: within. >> no, no, it's challifax. >> jon: challifax. >> you roll it, yeah, that's closer. >> , cus me, john. >> jon: aasif man vey. >> yes, this is outrageous. this area has always been and always will be sacred to muslim. this area contains some of the most sacred sites in all of islam. (cheers and applause) >> jon: you're talking about halifax. >> first of all it's pronounced halallifax. >> no, it isn't, no t is isn't, it's challifax, he's wrong, it's challifax, i can prove t it's all right here in hebrew. in fact, let me read it to you for a second, this land clearly belongs to the jews. i want to make that absolutely clear. i spoke to muhammed last night and he's cool with it. >> no, no, no! >> it's really not a provocation as it seems. >> that is enchanting english this is ridiculous. okay,

without judea and samaria, the west bank, israel is all of 9 miles wide. i want to put it for you in perspective, because you're all in the city. that's about two-thirds the length of manhattan. between distance battery park and columbia university. and don't forget that the people who live in brooklyn and new jersey are considerably nicer than some of israel's neighbors. so how do you -- how do you protect such a tiny country, surrounded by people sworn to its destruction and armed to the teeth by iran? obviously you can't defend it from within that narrow space alone. israel needs greater strategic depth, and that's exactly why security council resolution 242 didn't require israel to leave all the territories it captured in the six-day war. it talked about withdrawal from territories, to secure and defensible boundaries. and to defend itself, israel must therefore maintain a long- term israeli military presence in critical strategic areas in the west bank. i explained this to president abbas. he answered that if a palestinian state was to be a sovereign

they were despised thing, -- confined to a small area called samaria.ryday people never went through some area. it was like the ghetto. as it goes, the 10th chapter of luke, it says, on one occasion an expert of the law, an attorney, [applause] [laughter] race to the question, what must i do to inherit eternal life? what is written in the law, he replied. he answered, love the lord your god with all your heart and soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and love your neighbor as yourself. you have answered correctly, jesus replied, to this and you will live. he wanted to justify himself so he asked to jesus, who is my neighbor? as american -- a samaritan was going down the road. it was the most dangerous 19 miles in the nation of israel. a dangerous 19 miles. he had been off the road side. a samaritan comes along. the suggestion the contemporary folk put on a, most americans are bad, this was a good one. uh-huh. the bible does not fit into that. this was a samaritan. you know the story. he takes care of the wounded man. as jesus tells a p
