winston churchill, a lot does not have to be said except that he was a lifelong zionist. he figures prominently in the book in 1943 he embarked on a daring plan to reverse the white paper and partition palestine. as uncomfortable as uncomfortable as it is for some people it is in the british archives. literally on the eve of the us presidential election november 1944 1944 churchill proposed the next big three meeting be in jerusalem, not tehran where his plan would have been discussed. two days after the presidential election is when the gang shot lord morning, churchill's friend and member of the british cabinet. churchill supports zionism but the partition plan it would have been difficult to get through british parliament. i believe it was a lost opportunity. very interesting individual. studied at a prestigious seat of learning in cairo. organized clubs and demonstrations against jewish immigration to palestine. one of the actors in the 1920 1920 riot against jews and was sentenced to prison and pardoned. well-meaning but the british thought by giving him a senior off

winston churchill saw the gathering storm of nazi germany marching across europe. he called it what it was, and he knew what to do about it. he was bold, he was courageous. by the way, winston churchill also saw the iron curtain descending over eastern europe. he called it for what it was. today the only world leader that i see who sees the gathering storm of radical islam the global jihad is the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. [applause] he knows the enemy. the first rule of war is know your enemy. he knows the enemy. i believe he knows what to do about the enemy. yet just like churchill in the '30s and '40s netanyahu is being ridiculed, shunned and marginalized by western leaders who don't have the backbone to confront this existential threat and tell it like it is and do what needs to be done. so what needs to be done? i've spent this evening laying out a pretty dire set of circumstances for you. as i said, the barbarians are not just at the gates, they are inside the gates. it's not fear mongering. i've laid et out for you. i've laid it out in the bo

abraham stern, menachem begin winston churchill i'll husseini, and others. can you paint a brief portrait of these men and their roles in the events depicted in the book for? >> sure. abraham stern was obviously the founder and leader of what eventually became known to jews in palestine by -- the freedom fighters for israel no to the british as the stern gang. to me he's a particularly interesting character but he almost defies easy description. he was a poet and a visionary, a dandy and a womanizer, a dreamer and an extremist. he was very accomplished classicist. was a pupil of the first president of hebrew university in believe very strongly in establishing a binational arab and jewish state in israel but stern took a very different path. he believed that not only should there be a jewish state in what was then palestine but he believed there should be a resurrection of the jewish kingdom of sorts. it was determined to emulate the example of the irish during world war i during the easter uprising, seize on the opportunity of britain preoccupied world war i

whatever else he, is he's not a wirnsen -- winston churchill.olated the rule that it's better to lose an election than mislead the people and win an election. david's case is legitimate but there is no doubt his intention was to turn out the vote. his intention was to walk back from the 2009 position that he had taken when he then came out in favor of the two-state solution and he did it solely for electoral purposes solely to win an election and i think arabs coming out in droves is so violating jewish values of welcoming the stranger and standing up for the outsider and defending the marginalized. this was classic us against them. this was the narrowest and meanest of politics to which jews sadly and tragically around the world have been subjected to and including this country and just to win a lousy election? he's a diminished man, i believe. >> woodruff: whatever you think about what he did, we now hear the obama administration saying they're thinking about going to u.n. to support the palestinians. is this an overreaction? does it make sens

heard a speech like that or response to congress to a foreigner speaking in front of congress to winston churchill in 1952 told us about the iron curtain. that was an extraordinary speech. i think even though there were some protests from the left wing of the democratic party most members of congress agreed with him, right? >> yeah, they did, and staunch democratic supporters of israel like robert menendez or chuck schumer. >> another democrat. >> they're being put in a pickle right though. look bibi netanyahu pointed out something really useful that is lost in all this discussion about isis and that is that iran is the major ex porter of terror in the world and they are about to acquire nuclear weaponry and this is th has got to be stopped. i would like like to be optimistic but i'm agreeing with oz that it may be too late for sanctions because bibi was saying we're going to take care of this problem whether you have our back or not. >> steve there are ways to go after evil empires without going to war. i mean, the way ronald reagan, for example, supported, he had sanctions but he also supported

he will be presented with a bust of winston churchill. he is now making his way into the chamber. he is about to begin speaking. that will be momentarily. just moments from now. judy is the american islamic forum for democracy president. doctor you know pretty much what we think netanyahu is about to say. he is about to say do not trust the iranians and do not negotiate with them at this point in time. do you support prime minister netanyahu. >> not only as a muslim. syria has become what it is today. the evil of becoming perpetrated like you said, the iranians are working hand in glove with both sides. anyone who believes in the future must support those like americana, like israel that are standing strong. we must understand and it is important for us to listen to prime minister netanyahu now. our president is not letting us know. there have been negotiations going on for years. meanwhile, just yesterday stuart a cleric and i run said the black flag of ironic will fly above the white house. this appeasement is not working. we need leaders like that and yahoo! to let us know the

only winston churchill speaking before congress like this before, three times. and you will hear the reception netanyahu received from congress today in a moment. but not a welcome from president obama, who said he did not watch and as far as he could tell, netanyahu offered, quote, nothing new. abc's chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz. >> reporter: it was a rapturous welcome for another country's leader. israel's benjamin netanyahu did not disappoint, dramatically denouncing the obama administration's negotiations with iran, easing sanctions in exchange for curbing iran's nuclear program. >> it doesn't block iran's path to the bomb. it paves iran's path to the bomb. >> reporter: tonight, obama asking netanyahu, what's your plan? >> the alternative that the prime minister offers is no deal, in which case, iran will immediately begin once again pursuing its nuclear program. >> and martha raddatz is with us now from turkey. she's been reporting from the region the last couple of days. and martha, i mentioned there that netanyahu is the first leader

>> one of the things that is interesting although i've i forgot what about winston churchill, i think the second world war came as close as any. the hitler regime in japan was deeply wicked and had to be destroyed and the only way it's not the whole of the story. there are various aspects. having started as their ally since they were to defend poland's freedom they felt they had a different view to exchange one for another so it is not absolutely straightforward. i do think on the whole they were the bad guys. i think what's interesting about the second world war how it is being invoked since as the war and since then they've been presented in the same way. we are fighting all of the rhetoric and better than anybody churchill unfolded. it probably isn't really true that those descriptions are very valid and the attempt to the british and american military engagements ask fighting for the same causes cause as the second world war was all about. it's the strongest temptation but i think on the whole it misrepresents. for example it was a waste post colonial war. that's how it was presen

and also that this is kind of like the winston churchill thing where americans make the right decision after they exhausted all others. the democratic structures themselves are in a crisis point and we will manage to put out of the nose dive. 1916 we passed the 16th amendment and then in the '30s we have the deal and we got the 21-year-old vote in 1972. it doesn't happen magically and things are bad so they will get good. but structural reforms have and do and can happen. >> if you could talk to justice roberts about the voting rights act decision what would you say? >> i would say please sir, explain to me. i understand you are a law scholar and i am a piddling person but explain the logic by when you decide the fact that a thing has worked means that thing is no longer required. i don't get it sir. please explain this to me sir, and please explain to me what i am supposed to -- please explain why i am not supposed to fear as a person who has read lot of history and familiar with historical cycles and how reconstruction was overthrown the first time. tell me how i am not supposed to f

not inevitably aligned with the assad government in the sense that if isis is your main threat winston churchillaid if hitler were to invade hell, i would make common cause with the devil. do you have to de facto side with assad. >> there's the history dealing with regime and history of dealing with isis or daesh. we have always believed there has to be a political solution for syria. what has taken prominence at the moment is isis, daesh at this stage. are we trying to chew gum and walk at the same time? this has to be decided by the international community. we believe there has to be a political solution that brings sort of the moderate forces and the regime to the table because there is this bigger problem. that has not been clarified at the moment. coalition, arab muslim western, so to speak, can only do so much in syria against isis. but at the end of the day it has to be syrians themselves especially when you want to reach heartland of isis. >> when we come back with his majesty king abdullah ii, i will ask him what he wants to call the radical islamists or radical extremists that presiden

the heroes like franklin roosevelt and winston churchill, immensely good company and the villains are really good villains. william randolph hearst the citizen keane of american newspapers was an isolationist. so was joe kennedy and so was lindburg. and there were also wicked antisemites like henry ford, who used to issue a daily newspaper, praising isolationism through all of his -- ford distribution deals so he would actually pick one up at the showroom spiteful stuff about how the jews were running the country down, and then there were people ancillary people like walt disney also antisemitic, person who was welcomed to hollywood when all of the other hollywood moguls passed on that one. and dealing with these personalities it should be. ed, lest we forget, history is made up of personalities and strong personalities can make an enormous difference. sure there are big movements, socioeconomic movements that take place that defined all events but in the case of most stories, if you have someone as strong as fdr or churchill you can make a difference. henry kissinger once asked chou

the first lord was winston churchill. the first sealord was jackie fisher. at is significant there is that jackie fisher was supposed to be the day-to-day operating guy and churchill was supposed to be the ceo. but churchill is not going to take anything less than an intrusive role in the management of whatever he is managing. so a lot of conflict. brian: you pointed out the churchill was 40 and jackie was 74. let me point out something you put on page 190. this is a lot to pay. how many americans lost their lives on this? erik: 128. brian: how many people didn't survive? erik: 1200. brian: how many people did survive? erik: about 700. there is no doubt that churchill would have welcomed that incident to get america into the war early. he had written a note to the head of the board of trade saying that we mean the traffic from america and if some of it gets trouble, all the better. the story gets complicated when the question arises as to, what ultimately happened to the lusitania? why was the lusitania allowed to enter the irish sea without escort, without t

now the quotation of the evening, this from former british prime minister winston churchill who said, quote, there is only one thing worse than fighting with allies and that is fighting with us. we're coming right back. >>> iran establishing power across the region. does mr. obama intend that iran have a nuclear weapon? foundation for the defense >>> 367 members of the house have sent a letter to president obama stating their concerns about a potential iranian nuclear deal being negotiated by the administration, saying in part, coat, we remain hopeful that a diplomatic solution preventing iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon may yet be reached and we want to work with you to assure such results. the letter does not mention the constitution's treaty clause that requires senate approval for an agreement to be binding. the concern was detailed in the letter sent by 47 republican senators. joining us tonight, mark dubowitz director of the foundation of defense for democracy. good to have you back with us. >> thank you. >> let's start, if we may, what's happened in denmark and the threat t

first of all, this is the only -- except for winston churchill, the only foreign leader to speak before a joint meeting of congress three times. in addition this comes at a critical moment, when the very final stages of an effort to negotiate a deal with what everyone in the world agrees is a threat to the security and peace of the world iran's nuclear program. and for a foreign leader to appear in this setting at such a time is unprecedented in my knowledge. for that reason alone it was a big deal. and then of course, of all the talk and controversy, you know, four dozen or so democrats not attending, the man walks into the chamber and he gets this rock star welcome. it was a standing ovation when he walked in he was interrupted for applause what 40 times. a lot of it bipartisan. so you get a sense that yeah, this is a big moment. and, of course, if this deal goes through, people will always remember that this man tried to block it -- or stop it, and if it doesn't, of course, it will be remembered that he succeeded, or at least helped to keep it from coming into being. yeah, this is hi
