Try to build bridges. long before i got to congress, the effort to try to bring peace between israelis and palestinians to work toward ultimately the possibility of a two-state solution. the reason bds i believe is anti-semitic is because it denies the jewish aspiration for a home of their own, but the palestinians have their own aspiration. the path is between negotiations between the two parties and the role the united states should be playing is to help create the forum for those parties to c...

At the end of september. and unfairly under fire in many cases from different parts of the world and now thats going to be a lot of criticism for them for caving in to the presidents pressure. >> part of the reason that bds is so awful -- >> the boycott movement. >> yeah. the boycott movement, it denies the aspiration for a state, it refuses to support a two state solution, negotiated solution between the israelis and palestinians. it stands in the way of peace. but it is an effort to delegitimi...

Youre talking about two muslim women. when there is such a spread of islamophobia worldwide and one of them happens to be a palestinian american. when you have anger, the palestinian territories about the building and the settlements and theres still no peace and still no two-state solution, broeth of these women and many democrats support. apac and others, pro israel, has supported the congresswomen and felt israel was wrong. >> they did that because, for the plit kl atmosphere -- political atm...

It. but do you think that could be at stake if this policy continues? >> well, i worry about it. i worry that they have two threats one is iran and we need to make sure that iran cant get a nuclear weapon but push against them in syria. their support of hezbollah but the second is the bipartisan support of israel within the united states congress. if that is lost, then the support for that aid, the support for the -- for our critical work together is put at risk. last month i had the privilege o...

Our congressman to see this. >> whats the argument that there was the congressional delegation just the last week. >> essentially it is coordinated with the israeli government. when you are on the ground, you are seeing an israeli perspective of whats happening there. they also go see the palestinian leadership. it fits into the framework of what the palestinian process has been in place for years. theyre working towards a two-state solution. everything is designed to reenforce that policy. when...

>> absolutely. ive been critical of their attacks on the u.s. israel relationship, support for the boycott divestment and sanctions movement process. i called that movement anti-semitic for two reasons. first because its absolute diadem of jewish aspiration for a state in israel. and its revisal to support a two-state solution that will bring peace for israelis and palestine bes. the b.d.s. movement is against that peace process. thats why last month you saw 398 members of congress. 209 democrat...

Bds supported -- >> that is the important -- bds -- the boycott di vestment and sanctions movement. an international move of activists, social society organizations saying because of the ongoing occupation israel has of the palestinian territories and the fact the two state solution, the peace process failed to ensure palestinian rights, it is up to businesses, governments, academics, entertainers, to boycott israel in certain parts meaning the occupied territories. any company or government age...

Party in the house is actually co-sponsoring this bill. representatives rashida tlaib and ihlan omar are among the lawmakers who oppose it. all of this raises questions about divisions on this issue and others in the democratic caucus. joining me now to discuss this is a lead sponsor of the resolution, congressman brad schneider. so first, why is this resolution necessary? >> first thank you for having me here and giving me the chance to talk about it. this is an important resolution. it makes e...

On brexit but not much eelse. johnson was against the united states pulling out of the iran deal. he is in favor of a two-state solution in the middle east. he was aghast when donald trump announced a muslim travel ban. this is not a man who is aligned with donald trump on all foreign policy issues. so if trump thinks its going to be an easy go with boris johnson on these kinds of things, i think hes got something coming. >> i want to ask you a separate question. the president was sitting in the...

Russian s-400 defense system, they will not get the advanced f-35 aircraft and they will be subject to sanctions. in israel on a bipartisan basis we said that if you ryou really to move forward to provide equal opportunity to palestinians, you need a two-state solution. one where you address israels legitimate security concerns, but also address the legitimate aspirations of the palestinian people. we talked a lot about iran, some of the issues we talked about. on the uss abraham lincoln, we had...
