Fears and prejudices that exist in this country and in israel. he knows i think what hes doing is outrageous. what we do is we have to put pressure constantly on the israelis to move to a two-state solution, not withdraw physical aid from them in terms of their security. lastly, i think that the senator warren is correct. we have led by the power of our example. and the example were demonstrating now is horrible. it is hurting us badly. >> thank you, vice president biden. judy? >> i want to turn...
