who stabbed him to death did not come from this arab neighborhood, he came from somewhere in the west bankr from the east bank. but the fact that he was stabbed by an arab or the people who live here, they couldn't care less if the arab is yellow, green, comes from africa. for them an arab is an arab. in september 2000 the palestinians started to shoot through the jewish neighborhoods, and the authorities had to protect the kindergarten over here, and they put up this wall put up by the neighborhood council. but nevertheless, it's quite ugly. but if they shoot from the other side toward the kindergarten, what other measure you can take in order to protect the children? >> before returning home we went to visit a palestinian farmer whose life was devastated when half of his land was taken by the israeli army to accommodate the bending of the wall. -- the building of the wall. >> the majority of his land and the better part of his land is beyond that fence. all these walls he built by breaking this sporn land with his wife and his children and all his hard work is gone. he cannot go down and

is your country occupying the west bank? are you there to make sure that the west bank doesn't turn into gaza? i talked with the prime minister saturday and i congratulated him on a decisive victory and i look forward to working with him, and he told me very clearly that he believes a two-state solution is not possible as long as the palestinian authority embraces hamas which controls the gaza strip and a terrorist organization by any reasonable definition. who do you make peace with, mr. president? what kind of deal with you make when half the palestinian people almost, are in the hands of a terrorist organization who vow to destroy you every day? what kind of deal is that? so do i want a two-state solution? yes, i'd like a two-state solution where the palestinians recognize the right of israel to exist and they have the ability to chart their own destiny. they're not anywhere near there. the palestinian community's broken into two parts. the hamas terrorist organization controls an essential part of the palestinian communi

the european union helped to pay for temporary shelters for bedouin communities in the occupied west bank. one family fears that their home is next. >> this family has tended their flock of shape for generations but it's become increasingly difficult to feed them. he has had to abandon the dead win interestbedouin tradition of moving to greener grazing pastures because he's afraid of losing his home. this structure was donated by the european union. he showed me the conviction notice given to him by israeli soldiers, prime minister benjamin netanyahu has reordered all structures in the area to be demolished. >> the e.u. gave us these caravans because our old shelters were falling apart. the israelis said this is a crime, yet they build illegally on our land every day. >> the demolition order follows a claim by an organization that the homes are illegal because they were built without israeli permits. a view supported by two members of the european parliament. they criticize the e.u. for spending millions of dollars on the structures in area c. >> when the oslo accord was signed 20 years a

. >> there was considerable argument as to how we should cross it once we reached the west bank.he british in particular argued that we should only cross in the north and make the attack to the north. the natural number of divisions that you could supply was something like 25, but he wanted to take these divisions and let the rest of us stay on the west bank in defensive positions. americans argued that that was no way to do it, but if the germans could not concentrate on the broad front they would have better mobility in security places where they were weakest. so, my plan was to cross the first time just to the south and then the third army would cross somewhere near the copeland's and then join together and attack sweep around to the south on the south and east side connecting up with the ninth u.s. division under marty on the east side. as a matter of fact, later we did do that and secured something like 368,000 prisoners. >> at the end of february, 1945 the night on the division, have you quit -- having been reequip had moved up behind the first army and attack or signed the

the west bank is dysfunctional. israel shows no interest in leaving the west bank. the west bank government the palestinian government is semi dysfunctional. syrian civil war, lebanon with hezbollah rockets. basically what netanyahu -- he had kind of an easy job in the sense of telling israeli voters especially his base look everything is falling apart all around us. you don't -- you need a guy who could withstand the pressure from people like president obama, a person who will stand up and say, we're not budging for the foreseeable future until things sort themselves out all around us. the essential argument in the israeli election is the labor party, herzog, with the second highest number of votes, was saying that the status quo is not sustainable. netanyahu is arguing the status quo is sustainable. obviously the american administration is on the side of herzog in that analysis. >> jeffrey goldberg thanks so much. and martin in washington the executive director at brookings. you've seen all this before but this time it does feel a lot worse, partly because he step

this video occurred in the late 2013 in the southern west bank. -- in late 2014 in the southern west nk. there are frequent clashes protecting the settlement -- a number of cases where soldiers use dogs, and in other cases palestinians -- israel through a gap in the separation barriers. they have a range of less lethal means they can be used, such as teargas canisters, certainly using dogs against unarmed civilians is completely an example in our minds. derek: after the video appeared online some the israeli army called the soldiers' conduct "i acceptable," and they will put new guidelines in place. to the democratic republic and the congo now. it is said to be the riches in the world in terms of mineral deposits but in the poorest as the way the people live. the poor can make money from the -- minerals if they are desperate enough. alexandre: apparently some of the iron or spilled out of the wagon's list of over the years it built out over the tracks and underneath the tracks. now people have realized that there is copper oil on the tracks. they call it liquid green. they get it by d

people say that some of the things he said about continuing to build settlement in the occupied west bank ever allowing for a palestinian state to be established, was part of a desperate plea to get the really right wing voters who were still in their homes and hadn't hit the polling stations yet to cast their votes and insure the survival of a right wing government in israel. however, this win by netanyahu's likud party cannot be good for arab israeli or pan tail generals in the occupied west bank. if he's in a better position to form the next coalition government, we should expect a continuation of what palestinians describe as a racist policies by the right wing government. we should expect to hear more of the rhetoric that we have been hearing from netanyahu in the last six years and as for the joint list, the arab political party that his achieved the third largest number of seats in the knesset as a political party, really a breakthrough in a very important achievement for the palestinians, they have also said this morning that this win by netanyahu the larger number of seats that t

if palestinian would collapse and anarchy on the west bank terrorism would probably go way up. israel would have to send soldiers back to patrol those towns. obama administration thinking about that as a pros peb. they wonder whether benjamin netanyahu knows what he's getting himself into. >> peter beinart, glad to have you on. >> now the question is who is to blame, obama, netanyahu, both of them? we'll have a spirited debate between two american democrats with great breadth and depth of experience on israel. netanyahu knows what he's introducing the citi ® double cash card. it earns you cash back now and cash back later. with 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay with two ways to earn on puchases, it makes a lot of other cards seem one-sided. financial noise financial noise financial noise financial noise the lightest or nothing. the smartest or nothing. the quietest or nothing. the sleekest... ...sexiest ...baddest ...safest, ...tightest, ...quickest, ...harshest... ...or nothing. at mercedes-benz we do things one way or we don't do them at all. the 2015 c-class. see your author

if he gets the job he will annex most of the west bank. earlier i spoke with naftali bennett. he told me israel will do everything it can to keep iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. >> do israelis care as much about iran as they do about say, the rising cost of housing? >> yes i mean obviously people are very concerned of their day-to-day lives and the cost of living and housing. but we have this huge shadow in the region calls the islamic republic of iran that is about to sign a deal that will legitimize and pave a route for iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. we have to act now to stop this horrendous deal from happening. because if it happens not only israel will be harmed but the whole middle east will go nuclear. >> so what is your solution to keeping iran from getting a nuclear weapon? >> very simple. ratchet up the sanctions and wait until iran understands they have an either-or situation. either you go for a bomb or you have an economy. you can't have both. if you continue pursuing the nuclear bomb your economy will fall apart under the stress of these sanctions togethe

and continuing for a number of days later, there was a constant stream of american troops from the west banko the east bank of the river. >> we had four divisions across to form a bridge head. the germans countered by throwing 11 german divisions against us to try to push us back or at least contain us. fortunately for us, those were divisions that were reduced in strength and effectiveness. one of the divisions they threw against us was the second badger division which had been badly chewed up and suffered terrific casualties. even with 11 divisions, they were not able to drive us back across the river. in fact, we could expand that will against them and gave orders to the first army to have those divisions and advance about a thousand yards a day. therefore, it would be able to break out when the time came. >> the capture was of the utmost significance to future operations. from the beginning, our plans called for the complete isolation and capture of the lower to deprive germany of that great arsenal of manufacture. now, by getting across to the south, then waiting for the big push, we ma

israel does not have to directly control the west bank because the palestinian authority is doing that for them. if the palestinian authority were to collapse and there were going to be anarchy on the west bank terrorism would probably go way up and israel would have to sebnd all of its own soldiers back to patrol all of those villages and towns. obama administration thinking about that as a pros peb. they wonder whether benjamin netanyahu knows what he's getting himself into. >> peter beinart, glad to have you on. >>> now you know just how bad the state of u.s.-israeli relations are. now the question is -- who is to blame. obama, netanyahu? both of them? we'll have a spirited debate between two american democrats with great breadth and depth of experience on israel. red security. it's how you stay connected to each other and to your customers. with centurylink you get advanced technology solutions, including an industry leading broadband network, and cloud and hosting services - all with dedicated responsive support. with centurylink as your trusted technology partner you're free to f

helped to may tore 200 temporary shelters in the occupied west bank. they looked at members of one family who fear they may lose their homes. >> this family tended a flock of sheet in generations. it's difficult to feed them. he has had to abandan the bedouin tradition of moving to greener pastures because he's afraid of losing his home. the prefabricated structure which was shared was donated by the european union. the eviction note was given to them by the soldiers in december. the prime minister has now ordered all e.u. structures in the area to be demolished. >> e.u. gave us the caravans because shelters fell apart. it was considered a crime. they build settlements on our lapped every day. >> it follows the claim by a right wing organization that the holes are illegal they were bit without israeli permits, a view supported by members of the parliament. they criticised the e.u. in relation to 400 structures. >> whens oslo accords were designed it meant any palestinian construction would require its approval. according to independent monitoring group

this is one of the shermts in settlements in the occupied west bank. a major problem is the women's reluctance to come forward and seek help. more than two-thirds of battered women prefer to remain silent, and less than one-third seek help at shelters like this one. the patriarchal and conservative nature of their society forces women, sawa is a call center that offers psychological support to those around the palestinian authority. >> there are those who are still in dilemma wondering whether they should call. society views domestic violence as a family matter whereas we view it as a social problem. the palestinian social bureau of statistics says 37% of women in the palestinian authorities have suffered from domestic violence but the rate is much higher in the gaza strip where it's 58% and attributed to the difficult living conditions there. >> the home has become a domain for anger and disputes. the man uses violence against the woman and the woman may use violence against children. this way the cycle of violence affects everyone. >> efforts have be

kennedy: our far right president he wants to stop settlement on west bank, they would like some form of peace in middle east starting with israel and pallares, netanyahu drawing a firm line in the sand. reversing his stance from 2009. what would it take to bring peace there. at least if not quality, coics coexistence. >> that is the million dollar question. kennedy: that is right. >> i am of two state solution. i don't think it possible to absorb all of the arab inhabitants of gaza in a west bank into a democratic israel. but the alternative that is status quo having people either under israeli rule or in gaza defacto under israeli rule with no right to leave, no passport, no state hood, that is not sustainable long-term for a country that also calls itself a democracy. kennedy: israel said that every time we let palestinians move in, theyd lob rockets at us. >> i don't know if they really say, that main argument when ariel sharon pulled out of gaza in 2005, with no framework for palestinians to do anything, then they were met with -- >> in 2007. >> 2005 they pulled out but rockets h

what he's against is establishing a terror state on the west bank which would create not another gas but 20 gazas. >> he didn't say what fortunate and others seem to suggest he's saying. he was very clue in his interview with andrea mitchell. he didn't change his position. he didn't run saying i'm against a palestinian state. he said i'm responsible for the security of israel. we're going see another armed terror base used to launch attacks against israel. israel left lebanon in 2000. we didn't get peace we got an iranian terror base. israel left gaza. we got an iranian terror base. now iran's leaders are saying in the last few weeks that they are going to arm palestinians in the west bank to launch terror attacks against israel. that the prime minister is not willing to agree to. >> if the united states doesn't stand in the way of the united nations imposing a framework of what a two state solution would look like what does that do the relationship between united states and sniz >> we hope that won't happen we know the united states stood for decades against these anti-israel resolu

i'm talking 200 settlements and 350 settlers already living in the west bank. it's de facto. >> i want to share with you and i'll put up on the screen something that tom friedman published that i think encapsulates. he said now if there are not going to be two states for two peoples in the area between the jordan river and mediterranean then there is going to be only one state, and that one state will either be a jewish democracy that systematically denies the voting rights of one third of its people or will be a democracy and systematically erode the jewish character of israel. that's what you're addressing. >> i don't know when the last time tom friedman has been visiting the settlements but i would invite him to go and see what's happening here because it's already de facto in one state with separate sets so you have the jewish majority around 6 million people who have certain rights and the jewish people who are living in the occupied territories with their own, meaning roads that they can run only by themselves. their internal schools, their protection and

. >> i asked how the leadership in the west bank sees the israeli election. >> well, unfortunately there isn't much expectations from these elections mainly because the differences between mr. netanyahu's camp and the hertzog camp really isn't big when it comes to the palestinian issue. in reality the palestinian issue and the need to end this conflict and to allow palestinians to have an independent state was almost absent from this election campaign. on the contrary, both camps have been advocating more annexation of palestinian land, more settlement expansion, and both of them are denying the palestinians the right to have jerusalem as their capital as part of an independent state. so there isn't much excitement about which of these two camps would win. on the other hand, the only exciting thing for us is the fact the parties manage to unify in one block the palestinians inside israel would be able to have a bigger representation in the knesset and bigger ability to defend their rights against description. >> so how will that unity party make any kind of a difference even if expected

and continuing for number of days later, there was a constant stream of american troops from the west bankst bank of the river. as soon as we could, we threw four divisions across the east side of the rhine to form a bridgehead. the germans countered by sending in troops to contain us. fortunately, they had been fighting in the bulge and were very much reduced in strength and effectiveness. one of the divisions they threw against us was the second panzer division which had been badly chewed up and suffered terrific casualties and another was a german division which had also suffered terrific atrophies. with even those division thrown against our force, they were not able to drive us back across the river. in fact, we could expand almost at will against them and we gave orders to the first division -- the first army to have those divisions expand and advance about 1000 yards per day so they would not be in and could break out when the time came. >> the capture of the bridge was significant to future operations. our plans had called for the complete isolation to deprive germany of that great

lyse: across the west bank security barriers have gone up. making israelis feel more secure, and palestinians left hopeful. today there were calls for resumption of peace talks. that is hard to imagine now. benjamin netanyahu rallied a majority of israelis around the right-wing message. it left a divided society and a country a growing odds with the rest of the world. for the israeli leader that matters less than what he sees as the best way to secure israel security. -- israel's security. this has long been a land trouble conflict. israeli residents worry about threats on their borders in the unstable region. in the end many voted for the man who spoke to those fears. jerusalem. katty: for more on the fallout from the election i spoke with senator george mitchell. he is joining us from miami. what impact do you think this election result in israel hats on security in the middle east? george: it is a difficult and complicated area with a of overlapping and contradictory conflicts going on at the same time. i think the prime minister's stateme

i spent a lot of time in the west bank and it's that place is locked down. and i just don't see-- i do not see a third intefatah on the horizon. i also don't see any kind of a positive message coming from the center left of the zyonist union. what i do see something very interesting a phenomenon that we haven't yet touched on is that the third largest party in the knesset right now is the party that represents the palestinian citizens of israel. 20% of the population of israel is palestinian. it's not the people who live in the west bank under occupation, they don't live in gaza and they don't live in east jerusalem as israeli i.d. holders. they currently that party currently holds 14 seats. and the head of that party has been preaching a very compelling line of civil rights and democracy and equal rights for all citizens. and you know he's a car is matic guy. he's a 40-year-old attorney and he's really captured a lot of imagination. and this is unprecedented for the third largest party in the knesset to be a party that represents the palestinians. >> rose:

they live in the occupied areas and jerusalem and the west bank. it's already one state. for the palestinians if it's bad for the israelis because he's been campaigning against them and obviously his victory is an open season against arab israelis in congress and in the streets, for palestinians in the west bank and occupied territories, it's hell because they live without rights. we have an apartheid state on one hand and we have i would say something else other than a democracy. >> aaron david miller is a distinguished scholar at the aaron wilson center and former adviser to six secretaries of state on the arab israeli peace process. pick up on the last part of what rula had to say commenting on the tom friedman piece and the reality of what a one-state might mean. >> i think we're really getting ahead of ourselves, michael. first of all, the one state is not a solution. perhaps it would be an historic outcome years and years as a consequence of israel's retention of the territories, no effective palestinian governance there. events on the ground for a comprehensive isr
