overture would now like to address mister blitzer uh... these questions and
or some other little bit you implied that israel has the right to exist
because of what happened to the jews during world war two
why in palestine don't the palestinians to have the right to a secure homeland
why do they have to suffer and make way for the jews
look we can go back and we can argue over the breath of israel
justice of the the birth of israel you can argue over whether or not there
should be in israel their is in israel today
there's a strong israel today of vibrant israel that is not going to disappear
palestinians have missed opportunities their as an opportunity today
i don't see any useful purpose
in arguing over
what justifications israel has to exist israel has all of the justifications in
the world which is
and i don't even think it's it's appropriate to question
the reason why israel insists
thank god that there is at least one israel
in israel where jews can live if they want to know what happened there
but if they need refuge
if they want to live
in a country that has a jewish o uh... that's fine
and i think as i said before all of us should be delighted
that we happen to be around at a time in this world where there is this is real
designed as a
is an ideology is the national liberation movement
of the jewish people
tuesday night scientists and
to reject
designers in
is about as racist element as you can get why should all of these people
palestinians and others
deserve a homeland that could use can have a homeland
they have not had just suffered enough all these years down the homeland
have not had used development identity
our culture or religion
shunned the jews deserve a homework
and there's an opportunity now to resolve all of these problems
so i could be easy
there's no quick fix some solution
but ask that has to involve compromise
recognition of mutual right
which certainly given the history of what's going on over there
anybody who ignores the security problems facing israel certainly the
israelis are whether they're lee carter labor or whatever
certainly anyone who doesn't nor does very very real security problems in the
middle east dangerous neighborhood
uh... they're going to be doomed to destruction and i don't think that the
jews at this particular point in in our history are prepared to accept that
i wonder if i can comment on that on a one hundred you can come in on that i
thought that i've got a question for availability at this time
potentially could benefit from the family get you a question to work on
overblown because i wanna make certain people who wanted to go on and what we
can possibly manage
of this friday says the intifada is not an isolated problem this problems the
fact that by poor rollers terrorism in the holocaust why is it not relevant in
your opinion for israel to be secure
well that nicely beings feedback the former question you know anything that
happened
and now i'm so-called at the same time
i suppose in gaining
it was a mistake anyone before these that mister blitzer was deploying that
same familiar with the lawyers tactic
the question i was put to him was if we accept that would except the legitimacy
of the state of israel why don't we also accept legitimacy of a palestinian state
anna mister blitzer went on to tell us all the good reasons why we should
accept this legitimacy of the state of israel
something which by the way i concur with
but that still doesn't answer the question
it one does except the legitimacy of the state of israel why doesn't want also
court
this same whites
the self-determination statehood for the palestinians that was the question is i
have this data that was put to him
now the issue of security was raising some he made it as everything
in inaccurate inference i'm not concerned with the security of the state
of israel
i am
i'm what are concerned about the security of a palestinian state
again we have to apply the same standards across the border
israel as a rankings the fourth leading military power in the world
doesn't have a real security claims against the palestinians
let me quite a few former prime minister of israel our banquet
he said a israel has as much to fear from a palestinian state
as the soviet union does from luxembourg
kuttner how do you think we have to have the soviet union has a real affect
there's a real threat from luxembourg
far more quickly a plat nachiket dot the event this soviet union had no rights
so i think right afghanistan than israel palestine occupy the west bank and gaza
because certainly attest that boys is a greater security threat
the soviet union and luxembourg how many people you know support the soviet
occupation of afghanistan
electrical dot com assad says in his most recent book the slopes of lebanon
he asks too many even though i have no great minor undersized
he asked me a reasonable question
what this is a real the fourth ranking military pile in the world
fear from the state
that would be one
besides are popping up
and one half the population of p way
he's got arya spectroscopic israel
watch that simply an excuse continue the occupation
israel faces as much of a military threat from a palestinian state
as the united states did from grenada
charlene charlie
well breaking or perhaps ronald reagan
believe that grenade opposed the major security threat to the united states
exactly as george bush weeks ago
hard enough
that nicaragua poses on nature national security threat to the united states
nicaragua which have to its credit u_s_ later than one elevator palm fronds
hahaha
program
i'm national security threat to the united states
it seems to me applying the same standards as alba and uses and promise
apologies we have to dismiss this police weariness notion engineer was
maintaining its occupation of the west bank and gaza for security reasons they
had very good reasons to maintain the occupation farmer clayton say they have
has little to do with security
