Officially throw in the towel on that? >> i think this is a great learning moment for u.s. audiences to check out a map. if you cant make it to the region, and many people cant because israel denies entry to those who arent interested in human rights specifically, this is a great time to look at a map and let people decide for themselves. the occupied territories are 22% of mandatory palestine. israel has never declared its borders and has expanded them. the settlements were talking about arent ...

Eventually, theres been so much acrimony and mounting frustration between the parties over the course of these eight years. i mean both sides see things in a different way. how a two-state solution is necessary and how it cant be -- if its not achieved that democracy is going to be at stake in issue, the concept of a jewish state versus a democratic state and netanyahus view that the united states has also been kind of pa tronnizing as if it knows more what israel needs than israel does. those t...

The spear in the fight against israel as they have for decades. now, there are a lot of reasons why my suggestion is difficult to achieve, fine, lets see other things. but beating your head into a wall, which is what the advocates of the two-state solution are doing, not gonna bring peace to israel and the palestinians. >> ambassador bolton, i checked the numbers and abraham lincoln when he delivered the gettysburg address was three minutes long. fdrs 20 minutes. ronald reagan tear down this wal...

Truth. >> nations was about preserving the two-state solution. thats what we were standing up for. israels future is a jewish and democratic state, living side by side in peace and security with its neighbors. there are a similar number of jews and palestinians living between the jordan river and the mediterranean sea. they have a choice. they can choose to live together in one state or they can separate into two states. but here is a fundamental reality. if the choice is one state, israel can e...

Fundamentally not a fair forum for the israelis and traditionally the united states has tried to keep these resolutions at bay if not vetoing them, at least working behind the scenes to make sure they dont come up for a vote and expressing our objections in other forums. so i guess i dont draw an issue with the obama administration saying to netanyahu that this is debt mental to the two-state solution and israeli relations. i just would have preferred that that conversation happened outside of t...

My heart goes out to billie. reynolds also played debra messings mother on the sitcom "will and grace." messing posted this. my heart is literally broken. inspiration on every level. a legend. the epitome of clean-cut optimism. dancing with gene kelly. a warrior woman who never stopped working. secretary of state john kerry criticizing israel and prime minister benjamin netanyahu in the middle east policy speech. the secretary the state warning the two-state solution is in jeopardy and blaming...

Cyber war, that is a war that russia is probably more well equipped to win than we are? >> i believe we are in the best position. what else can we do? we cant sit back and allow someone to tamper with our elections and by the way, i was a hillary clinton supporter but i would say the exact same thing if the shoe was on the other foot. i dont think it matters whether its democratic or republican. i think the fact they tried to interfered with our democracy gets me very upset. >> lets turn to isra...

Aaron, im going to start with you, its december 28th. theyre packing boxes at the white house. why would john kerry make a major middle east policy speech right now? >> i think the u.n. security council abstention, don, and the speech were designed because i think the administration knows whats coming which is basically the demise of whats left of the two-state solution and i think they felt compelled at least to put their fingerprints on it to create a frame of reference in which they demonstra...

Tonight that prime minister netanyahu is still in favor of a two-state solution. >> he said it himself. he is willing to negotiate. >> does he mean it? is it real? >> prime minister says something he means it he said willing to negotiate everything with the president abbas. he is willing to go to new york to negotiate. after the resolution passed in the security council, no reason to come back to the negotiating table. because for them its much easier to get whatever they want in the security co...

The security council. i was not convinced by secretary kerry what changed. why now? >> the settlements were one part of the speech. thats the sticking point. how does building permanent buildings, how does that help israel achieve a two-state solution? >> it is not about the settlement. for the palestinians, everything, israel is one big settlement. not willing to recognize israel, period. talking about tel aviv, talk about east jerusalem or west jerusalem. gaza, we evacuated in 2005 all the jew...
