i grew up in the student movement in the late sixty's early seventy's and it's war didn't eat out when we had two interesting school grounds one was just too important to be left to politicians and the other slogan was you better take care of politics because anyway politics is going to be taking care of you and probably not the way you would like to do so for us but his thing is for me i feel sexy from jerusalem under occupation politics was a natural course of action i've been  are still under occupation in that quest for states whatsoever and the independence so the way i define my task is that i have i think ten layers of work that i have to hand them simultaneously and let's take the palestinian community in this country very between two hundred fifty thousand and four hundred thousand which is an important segment of our society that chose to come to the usa and by the way they love their country of adoption the way they left their country of origin and the us is a fascinating country because it's a nation of nations one can keep one's identity yet try to accelerate one's integration identity and integration i'm not incompati stuff that is also unprecedented why do i believe a pac is normally mean before factors one i believe that there are many more voices from within the american jewish community are not an aware that there is a court case against two senior officials of a pack because of the isp your national case and i believe that within this administration and particularly within this administration which is known to be the most supportive the norm or in their golden era it window of opportunity for those who would like to see an alternative american foreign policy especially in the middle east when i think that this study was long harvard study about the impact and the the risks of escalation with iran and you remember after nine eleven which we have to be condemned as a moment of harder in america there was a minimalistic school of thought that wanted to go after  partner sometimes hijack confiscate decision making in a segment of foreign policy concerning the middle east and that's the case my question to american public opinion but also to the speech of the seven existence so today we have become one reasonably reasonably we know more question and challenge the existence but we question and challenge the expansion and i believe america is not committed to protect and defend israel elastic expansions in the middle east israel has no interest in expanding in the hilltops of the west bank but what is america's interest in expanding into in tops of the west bank leadership i always maybe out of modesty i always say as a diplomat i am a father and factor but the community or the communities i interact with local actors and i believe that communities have even more important than the embassy and the ambassador because they are illegitimate actors and so i never speak in terms of me offering leadership and i'm of there is either one people too many in the middle east or you have a state which is messy and needs to be created i believe the verdict of the international community of the united nations of public opinion is read the palestinians have this obsession and feel that we might become the native americans of the middle east the native americans of the twenty first century and i always say to my palestinian audiences as far as we are concerned histor the negotiated solution of the peace process and as you know the peace process was non existent the last five years and unconvincing the years that preceded because during the years of theoretical peacemaking  unfortunately choosing the least appetising candidates with many and hope for the politician to run as an independent against the official list of his own party dispersing divorce now the result of that was n components of the political domestic game when they have ten speciations i'm happy to say that public opinion is pressuring the palestinian factions to pursue dialogue and to avoid confrontation the no mechanism in which you can measure being or twenty five suffering yet i believe enough is enough we have become the victims of the victims of european history as edwards i used to say we have become dangerous of these
