aviv tel aviv is seen as kind of. disconnected from the rest of the country in many ways and and not really a place that is the base for the likud and the people who are the likud does record on television are people who've lost their jobs these migrant workers or have their neighborhoods that don't look as good as they used to look because of the migrant workers so there's so much internal pressure within the likud party on the politicians on the right to expel these men were having been talking about children the very beginning only about the actual men migrant workers not people who are married not people lay down roots that i still think that the bulk of the expulsions so we'll let that happen all right let's take that point back to a salve if you look at the statements of some of the government ministers like the minister of education of taliban and he says the government will give asylum to refugees and only job seekers are going to be deported what's the problem with that policy defenders of the government migh

not in tel aviv. tel aviv is living a very peaceful, secure life. to expect this society to stand , what to say no more incentive? balance is that israelis have been gaining out of the occupation or not paying anything for it, as long as any israeli does not feel that he, that the occupation is something he should be think about, why should he be bothered? he is not paid, punished. he does not make the linkage. even if they remember the years, which were really bloody with exploding buses and suicide bombers, nobody made the linkage to the occupation. if you dare to make the linkage, you will be mediately deemed as a traitor. how dare you, you justify terror. they were born to kill. it has nothing to do with the occupation. change,s no progress or even after the violence. if life is so good, there is really no reason to go for a change, and therefore, the hope for change from within the israeli society is very minimal. with all respect to those groups who are fighting, who are not giving up, who are going to demonstrate every friday against the occu

the seafront in nearby tel aviv feels like a different world from gaza.wimmers, joggers and holidaymakers seem to take their safety and protection for granted. but i have come to meet a man whose job was to guarantee this protection. forfive years, avi dichter was the director of shin bet, israel's secretive internal security service. he now heads the foreign affairs and defence committee of the israeli parliament, the knesset. if i ijust take the second intifada during three years, and during those three years, ‘01,'02,'03, we have lost 900 people. mainly civilians. mainly in suicide bombings. in many cases, we've succeeded to foil those terror attacks. so if the number of people that got killed is 900, then i wouldn't rule out that 9,000 people, if not more, are still alive, they don't even know that they were about to be killed. i asked him how easy it was to recruit reliable informers. when you are interested in someone you try to map, what are his skills? what are his weaknesses? but above all, what are his strengths? otherwise, you don't need him, y

i was just in tel aviv.israel's -- the food in israel has become great and mostly because they love the food from all around them. the music, the art, the food, that's a connecting point. that's possibly the most important connecting point and that's why when i know we or any administration cuts funding for the arts they're really cutting just yet another one of those connections. >> talk about that a little before we go on regarding your play. the arts are being given short shrift around the world. in your perspective what is an adolescence without the arts? >> it's a one-way ticket to trumpsville, that's how it feels to me and when i say that i mean there's this move towards authoritarianism everywhere that you're talking about and you -- if you are invested in the arts you almost can't really go there. when we play music -- and i say we because i get to play with them sometimes, not on stage but it's this very deep connection. i have a band that i've been playing with them for 20, 25 years, we love each o

tekhelet and eden have lived in tel aviv for about ten years now both of them say the reason they fled eritrea was to escape the military it's a familiar story. according to a united nations investigation based on interviews with five hundred refugees around the world the military is in fact a recruitment tool for forced labor tracing its role to the country's long running conflict with its neighbor if the o.p.o. . eritrea gained formal independence from ethiopia in one nine hundred ninety three after a thirty year long armed struggle but since then the situation along the border has remained tense with frequent violent clashes. as a result the military here plays a central organizing role but beyond defending the country it has become an instrument of oppression according to retrain refugees. young men are forced to serve for many years but not just to execute military duties. the issues relating to eritrea as military and slash national service programs include their arbitrary and indefinite duration the use of conscripts as forced labor including manual labor the inhumane conditions

i want to be equal with anybody in tel aviv and nazareth. jewish state. because defining yourself as jewish and democratic, it's an oxymoron, stephen. and this is an oxymoron that we are fighting against, day by day. if i may say so, it seems to me your speech was based on empathy and a genuine effort to understand the israeli mindset. one aspect of the israeli mindset is that they see, more than a decade ago, when the palestinians had a free election, that a majority, at least in gaza, voted quite clearly for hamas, a movement that is dedicated, in its original constitution, the the destruction of the state of israel. do you want new roles for a democracy? it is election. it is democracy. palestinian people, like in england, like in germany, like in france, like even in the united states, who just elected a very bizarre president, we, palestinians, are free to elect exactly what they want — what palestinians want. and do you think the israelis are going to listen to this and your belief that, oh, the palestinians can choose hamas if they to

well everybody's expecting something to come out of washington soon but it's actually coming out of tel aviv television is driving this process and then they've got the cushion around trying to buy into an idea of this outside in where you say israelis make peace with many arab countries especially in the gulf and then they all put pressure on the palestinians and force on them a deal that could not possibly be accepted by by any reasonable diplomat or jurist or international lawyer or anybody in the u.n. so that probably will happen and the saudis will push for it a little bit but probably not very much because that said the deal as we know what we know about it now would never fly anywhere except maybe in tel aviv possibly in riyadh possibly in washington and you have leaderships and they are world that are desperate for foreign military support and economic support and therefore will go along with whatever the u.s. asked but public opinion their world is very very critical of what's going on including critical of the the palestinian leadership to a large extent so i wouldn't put any

all countries to do, to give official recognition, locate their embassies in jerusalem, rather than tel aviv, but, of course, the original 1947 partition plan of palestine into arab and israeli states require that jerusalem be internationalized. both palestinians and israelis want jerusalem to be their capital. so, why is he u.s. doing this? in the 1970's, the zionist organization of america began sending 100,000 signature petitions to the president asking him to withdraw from the u.n. agreement, and also, recognize jerusalem as the capital and locate the u.s. embassy there. in 1980's, the anti-defamation league, the christian coalition all said that we really ought to move the embassy, mr. president, it will be popular, particularly with american christians, and jews, and apac got serious about passing a highly coercive move the embassy law in the 1990's. they did it to thwart the oslo peace process which had its own problems, but by creating facts on the ground, the zionist organization of america and apac hoped that they could preempt any moves from the oslo peace accords, and they g
