a sort of course is very significant for humans you would we do here because we are now facing increasing resistance to existing interviewer six meaning that there used to work are less effective. before these new antibiotics can be used on humans a lot more research needs to be done some pharmaceutical companies have already shown interest it usually takes ten years before a newly discovered antibiotics are produced the institute is also using the crustaceans to study the effects of climate change and other and via mental changes under even creatures by injecting micro sensors into tiny bodies by observing different kinds of crustaceans living in different depths of the lake they hope to obtain information about how humans can adapt as well scientists believe that this immense lake not only holds the cure to diseases but also the answer to and fire mental challenges our planet is facing but this league is still largely unexplored

and to reveal its secrets some say the government should change its strategy and change the lake into an international high tech research project so far lake baikal is mostly used as a tourist attraction and source for drinking water scientists say the world's largest freshwater reservoir can be better protected if it's turned into a center for biotechnological research instead. limited to more than twenty five scientists. a lot of questions which can be. by the book twenty five thousand scientists from by co this is unpatched resource of new. technology and biotech for nobody really knows about and via mentalist say they support the idea gunther the. i believe this is a gigantic nature a library which can be source of information for an endless number of years can be part of our search for certain means of adaptation to life on this planet if we

learn how to use this bank then this can contribute to our lives and the habit of delay can be protected the government didn't respond to our request to comment on the plan one of the obstacles to attract scientists to lake baikal could be the extreme weather conditions in siberia but while temperatures can reach minus thirty celsius in winter deep inside the lake the temperature has stayed the same for millions of years there are two stations who can live up to twenty years and could hold the answer to the secret of a long life at least that is what scientists are eager to find out step fastened al-jazeera lake baikal russia. just take it to the headlines now on al-jazeera four palestinians have been killed including a pregnant mother and her fourteen month old child as israeli warplanes hit the

state it is now weakened and is over bangladesh yet today with the headlines on al-jazeera inside story is next. it all began with a diplomatic breakdown when north korean and u.s. leaders met in hanoi now a frustrated pyongyang has resumed firing this up so what message is it said they can diplomacy still reduce tension on the korean peninsula this is inside story.

hello welcome to the program i'm adrian finnegan once again kim jong un has put the u.s. and its neighbors on high alert it happened after japanese and south korean defense systems detected projectiles being launched from north korea critics say that kim is using his military complex to send a political message just a week after he traveled to beat president bush to be a putin in russia that actions adding to already mounting tension after trump and kim's failure to reach an agreement at the summit in hanoi in february but south korea's quickly asked pyongyang to restrain itself a spokeswoman for the presidential palace said that it urged the north to stop action that intensifies military tension on the korean peninsula she also said the launches go against an intercom rian military agreement and north korea is expected to actively join efforts towards the fast resumption of denuclearization talks well in less than two years president trump and kim jong un's relationship went from

name calling to holding two historic summits it all began when trump accepted an invitation from kim while holding talks with seoul. all secretary of state mike compare visited pyongyang soon after to set the ground rules for a trump kim meeting a month later south and north korean leaders held a historic meeting which ended in an agreement to denuclearize the peninsula in may that in pompei i visited kim again returning to the u.s. with three americans who've been detained in north korea trump then announced that they meet in singapore off the brusque exchanges between the leaders the first historic summit was finally held on june twelfth and both men signed a denuclearization commitment agreement kim began to dismantle rocket launching sites although he wasn't obliged to disarm in february both leaders met again it will became known as the hanoi summit kim's nuclear weapons were top of the agenda however that event was cut short ending without

a deal. joining us for today's discussion our guests via skype from tucson robert kelly professor of international relations at national university and from beijing china political analyst gentlemen welcome to you both robert let's start with you professor what is north korea up to here i think this is probably a signal to the united states to come back to the table negotiate it's pretty unique in north korea's experienced and go shooter donald trump and sort of just get up and walk out of the room the north koreans are accustomed to that kind of behavior and they usually get deference are they hijacked or stunned and i think when trump kind of sent a message in the north koreans are sort of pushing back the way they normally do i do think kim jong un wants a deal you think they are genuinely open to something with the americans and this is a way to sort of needle the americans a little bit come back and renegotiate. do you agree with that this was essentially

about concentrating minds in washington. well it might be about concentrating minds and trying to get some attention but there's a number of other things that are in play kim is desperate for a security. agreement a cover that will guarantee his his rule and his country and that means either the u.s. or and or a combination of russia and china but at this point we're in a very very difficult position because quite frankly trump has painted himself into a corner where he says he's not going to give any money or make any concessions until there's complete a nuclear ization and it's impossible for kim to give up his nukes was it's the only thing that he has as a bargaining chip so while it may gain attention it's not necessarily going to be very productive it's surely going to ratchet things up obviously south korea is in between and that's the unfortunate part about this so i know it was was there any significance in the timing of saturday's projectile mortgage

yes i mean no i don't think it's a coincidence that a few hours prior to that there was an announcement that ten million north koreans were in essence starving and that this had been the worst crop harvest in quite some time so you know this is a good way of changing the narrative for kim he's both sending a message at least to a lot of commentators out there they believe that he's sending a message but i think you could also interpret it he's just trying to change the narrative instead of talking about ten million people being hungry now the headlines read projectiles thrown into the sea. you see that the north once a deal of sorts to what extent is trump missing this up is that is there a certain arrogance play here. yeah i do think the north koreans want to do you right i've actually argued this in my writing i think kim jong un is different than this father his father really did run the economy in the country into the ground

and sort of had very mixed feelings at best about dealing with the outside world in the sun grants on the third kim now seems generally more interested right he went to singapore which is sort of extraordinary he wears banker suits and stuff like that i mean that kim this campaign has sent a bunch of signals to us in the west broadly speaking that he wants some kind of deal right i mean he's trying to talk the chinese the russians the south koreans and so on so i think there's some space and i agree the north koreans are going to go to zero they're not going to completely denuclearize right they've spent fifty years developing these weapons to have several dozen warheads now they're not going to give them all up but they might be willing to give up some right and the real question here is will the americans come for the deal that the north koreans find acceptable to maybe give up i don't know ten or twenty or thirty or something like that and this is where i think the trump administration is really sort of dropped the balls of the trump ministration just hasn't come up with a package the north koreans find very attractive and that they see demand everything complete denuclearization ops front in exchange for these sort of vague

security guarantees and certain economic aid packages and stuff like that and that's just that's just not enough and the analyst community has been flagging this for a year and a half now and the trump people don't listen to us i suppose but i think a lot of people don't actually think the north koreans are going to come around until trump gives more and he seems loath to do so but when you talk about moral rabbit i mean with what is it what what would a deal look like. should the denuclearization process go both ways as far as the north is concerned i talked about that arrogance is this sort of arrogance of the us in the us has this assumption that north korea should just borrow to the us is to months without offering at least some sort of military concessions in return. yeah and i think that's really the problem right i mean the trauma administration's approach to this is ben basically you know our way or the highway right would sort of see what the what the trump people and before them called c.v. id complete verifiable your reversible discernment which is to say that north koreans would give up everything not just the nuclear weapons and the warheads but

the physical facilities the human capital the whole bit i mean maybe even the uranium mines i mean it's just that it's asking for everything for the whole show on the north koreans are pretty smart right there can be they did they're not going to give something for nothing and the more you ask the more they're going to demand in return and the trauma going to stray she needs to be sort of imaginative here the north koreans are going to want a lot obviously they're going to want sanctions relief they're probably going to want to huge aid package they'd probably like to see a restructuring of the force posture of the u.s. and south korea of the south korean military i mean they want to peace treaty there are lots and lots of things north koreans want and then the moon administration to its credit has at least flirted with some of this but the south korean president but the drum administration is really only offered sanctions relief and that's just not enough for the regime security value of nuclear weapons it's just it's just not enough to chum people got to come up with more or we're going to have to learn to live with north korea as a nuclear weapon state by what sort of deal would china what to say what would be acceptable preferable as far as china is concerned. china takes

a slightly longer view they're looking at this as a you know over years that you go from phase one two and three and that eventually that north korea north korea feels comfortable enough for giving up its nuclear arms i don't know if that's possible i mean let's not put all of the arrogance on one side i'm no fan of trump but on the other hand you have young kim who is who state is in fact under u.n. sanctions who has successfully met with three of the world's top leaders in the last year and it's you know the idea that somehow north korea will dictate that the u.s. will drop its nuclear weapons and umbrella over the eastern asia is a bit much so basically you have two individuals here who are very stubborn they believe that they should have their own way and they're in positions where it is almost impossible to strike a deal now enter

a entering in with china and russia it is possible that china and russia could go ahead by offering a security guarantee either one or both of them and thereby start the process without the u.s. there would have to be some triangulation in the sense that the u.s. would have to declare peace and then i think quite frankly donald trump would be relieved if this was off his plate and he can say he successfully got us i mean russia and china to do his dirty work for him ross a wry smile for me there oh but i see. yeah i think that's the thing that's be that kind of cynicism about which i'm quite honestly is well earned i think the president has proven himself at best and erratic counterparty throughout this entire thing i think the president's primary interest is domestic political which is to say he wants a win you want the perception of a victory on something that's important so we can use that at home to change the subject from mueller investigation he can sort of manipulated as

a tool in the presidential election last year we know that he's strong arm the japanese prime minister shinzo hobby into nominating him for a nobel prize right i mean and this is i think one of the reasons why this things has really worked very well as a balun trump just isn't really that personally committed to it right he's doing it for opportunistic reasons because he doesn't like barack obama for example and things like that i mean it's it's really sort of shallow and that's why the president didn't run very very well for the two summits that's why he didn't really have anything in his back pocket ready to go and can reject and cv id as everybody thought he would at hanoi i mean the americans are just bend at just just haven't really brought their full game to this thing in the last year does it matter do you think either way to trump voters whether whether the president manages to negotiate a deal or not whether he succeeds or fails i mean it's still a win win situation for him isn't it. yeah and the president's voters of some almost like a cult like attachment to him right i mean he said he could shoot someone in fifth avenue and it would make any difference i mean so maybe it doesn't make any difference and if that's true then i would imagine the president will drop this

pretty soon right but what's i mean the point is that he's just not going to put the work into this that's necessary to bring this deal over the line if you think about sort of like big things like big major presidential initiatives in the united states for big foreign policy changes like. jimmy carter in camp david in the seventy's or none george w. bush sold the iraq war the american public it took a really long time and it took a lot of president's effort and commitment and bureaucratic coalition building and stuff like that and that just hasn't done any of that for the reversal of the relationship with an orwellian tyranny right i mean if tom is going to change the relationship we have in north korea to sort of turn it upside down and he's got to build a coalition for he's got to make an argument for it to the bureaucracy to the defense department congress the analysts the public and he just hasn't done that and that's one of the reasons why this thing seems so so flimsy because trump just hasn't put in the effort quite honestly i know i will question to you if we've got a third guest to bring in just a moment but i just want to ask you going back to what you were saying a few moments ago about presidents president putin what happened two weeks ago

between kim and putin whatever the putin said to kim and bolton to him. no i don't i don't think side i mean putin is his own. animal as they say but i don't think he's trying to stir the pot with north korea it's a dangerous game for him as well i think all the powers are pretty united in doing this but having said that i mean putin has been fairly dogmatic about trying to take down the existing international order ever since he gave a speech at the munich security council many years ago indicating that he felt russia had been betrayed in its treatment and in its break up after us as our promises have been made and broken this type of thing but i would add one more thing to my colleagues statement and that is it's almost impossible for anyone to rely on trump he he terrace up treaties with abandon you know he tweets it out and

this type of thing and because it's all about politics you can't be assured that he will follow through a treaty and this is what canada and mexico are finding out they signed the new nafta only to find out that the other restrictions and tariffs were going to remain in place so he doesn't carry a high amount of credibility it's really difficult to see that he'll be able to get anything done on the diplomatic basis that that's pretty advanced of course than ordinary seanie of research and research from social media multi korea at leeds university aides also authored several books on korea could tell you this. you missed the beginning of the discussion of the moment we're talking about president trump with an eye on reelection to what extent do you think it's in trump's interest to let the north korea situation go south for a while perhaps picking up on it at some point near to the election. it is so hard to predict the irony is that in there in cliche ville the north koreans are

always cold unpredictable and i would say not a bit of it they calculate every move very catherine is so they chose to file out of these projectiles they chose to fire not the biggest projectiles they have the one who is unpredictable as it has been said already is donald trump who knows what level of interest he will sustain in the us but the trouble is the the that the firing by north korea today is a wake up call kim jong un is reminding us and i think we can all agree with him on this that the situation on the peninsula is now unstable they haue neuer debacles the second summit was clearly before i want to go into that in detail impose more times but it clearly didn't work nobody got what they wanted and somebody now means to make some sort of a move to bring people back to the table again we could then discuss and walk form so i really hope it will get trump's attention and i hope he will not react negatively he seems to think he has

a personal relationship with kim jong un one might feel there's something a little bit delusional about this paramount's or at least insubstantial but i'm kind of glad he feels that was otherwise i'd be worried we've got to twenty seventeen and fire and fury and little rocket man and that's you know that we really must not get back to there again even though the new the north has demanded that the mike pump a secretary of state be removed from any nuclear negotiations what's kim's problem with pump. i think the particular again it's hard to know but i think the particular thing that may have riled them is that on some he's usually i think a fairly smooth t.v. all right but he does get so the slightly entrapped into calling north korea a tyranny which of course subjectively it is just that if you're engaging in diplomacy you may be a voice like that of course this is a and then allowable demand by north korea you do not tell the other country your interlocutor who may or may not represent somebody holds the office of secretary of

state you would expect them to sit down that i think they can find ways past that if they are minded to the point is that everybody is a bit bad tempered the moment particularly north korea. it's very worrying for south korea to present moon j.n. has been working very hard to be a mediator i mean it was he who brought them together to make this all possible last year and now kim jong un is dissing him for medals for mediation which i must say seems extremely unkind somebody needs to find a positive way forward out of this otherwise i fair where it will go. robert kerry is a third summit possible given all this that's going on. yeah i think so i think the president still is hoping for some kind of deal some kind of victory you know get his nobel prize or something like that he has invested a fair amount of effort in this you know less recently but he has put in some right what does he have to lose he's not going to prepare for the way he didn't prepare for the last two it doesn't make any difference amy just gets on

a plane and flies to wherever it is and i think can i do genuinely think that cam is looking for a deal also i mean he does keep trying and he wants a deal on his own terms but i do think he's at least open to it in a way that his father wasn't so i would imagine there will be a third summit but i would imagine a wall so be small beer in the way that the last two are in overturned some kind of vague joint statement but unless the americans come forward with something a lot more substantial in exchange for fully verifiable disarmament the north koreans are going to ball do you have any sympathy robot from north korea i mean they seem to been doing all of the running i mean at least they seem i don't know more genuine genuinely interested in doing a deal with the americans to stage. i would say sympathy i can understand why the north koreans rejected the deal that trump offered them which is basically give up everything you have in exchange for big security guarantees and some aid packages in the trump tower and that kind of stuff i mean trump talking about condos i mean you know i mean if you're the north koreans you're going to take that seriously no

of course you're not right you're mr rounded by countries that don't like you right many of which would like to see you eliminated from the system altogether a nuclear weapons are just simply there there are great to turn against the sort of local security threats and nothing trumps but on the table comes even close that's not to say the north koreans made a good deal to us to the americans they deny their right and if you look at the two deals often in hanoi they're both ridiculous right and that's why you may remember third deal maybe we should try something smaller something a little bit more dual because at hanoi it was so obvious that the sides are very far apart i doubt does donald trump listen to the regional power as in the advice that they all for that power a big power like china as he appears to be with with israel and saudi arabia in the middle of the middle east he takes the advice of coming from those countries over and above the people in his own government to pub and sometime i mean is he listening to what shinzo of japan says and south korea. you know if he isn't he's listening more closely the putin as we found out in the

last day or so which is a strange idea given that his administration is a den of phaidon is the culprit in the last elections but this idea that there's going to be a third summit i find it hard to believe the north koreans were humiliated kim was personally humiliated by trump walking out of those meetings there would have to be a fairly solid deal on the table and it would just be a signing this is also something that is a concern of beijing and they're not letting she go to the mar-a lago without something in concrete you never know if trump's going to pull something on the last moment but that would not be received well and this goes to this issue that you just really don't know how to deal with trump he's not trustworthy he's not somebody who believes in the process he believes in the art of the deal which is the moment he's completely transactional so they're very very difficult to see this going forward they've been forced to cost what does all of this mean for japan will

they meet with kim as he said that he wants to and would that help or hinder the situation i think he might and i think that if it happened it would help i mean we are an aquatic curious world now given that the the u.s. and north korea have had a couple of summits or it's never happened before and anything is possible and kim jong un who i think played the whole thing very skillfully last year i'm not so sure about this. what he has done is is made himself a reputable figure on the international stage and of a having been very hard line and still basically being very hard line not. but that he might actually be left out he's the last one what kim jong un has met xi jinping four times the south korean president and three times putin twice sorry yes that would trump twice putin wants the old one out of it hasn't had the meeting yet and

in theory have it's been on the table a long time if north korea and japan ever want to establish relations japan would pay compensation for its colonial rule level of care in the first part of the last century and billions of dollars that come kim's way of it won't be easy there's a very specific issue about historic abductions that's never been solved but i you know along the way kim jong un might play of the japan card and that will put that in a very interesting position he has he keeps reiterating that he would do it we'll have to see and robert what's your view on that and to penny i do i think that cam has nothing to lose by meeting with these other characters right in the region one thing that's why he's sort of shopping around looking for a deal he's got the nuclear weapon so why not try again i think that you know again he's different than us father right on meet the japanese next right you can play these various players against one of their china and japan and russia and the united states right all of them jockeying for influence or you get them competing and then you get better deals from all of them ideally right and this is something

that the first kim kim il sung was expert at during the cold war right and i think the nuclear weapons give kim jong un the turn kim space to basically play the countries around them around him off against each other and see what kind of deals come out from the mix and if he doesn't get anything then he just hunkers down he just waits with his nuclear weapons until all of us adjust to that reality and i take it in beijing how is this going to play out do you think how we're going to see a deal any time soon in trump's first of the remaining days of his first term whether of course he's reelected or not remains to be seen but i'll be going to see a deal sometime in the future. no i don't think so not not with this particular cast of characters and i don't really think that a meeting with a even if it is had will have any bearing fruit the idea of who is a a nationalist who a revisionist who's trying to resurrect the glory of. world war two saying doing all of these things changing the constitution so he can have an army

so that he can pay billions of dollars and war reparatory reparations when they're not even willing to say that they're truly sorry for what they did to comfort women find that little bit hard to believe gentlemen there i'm afraid we're going to have to leave it many thanks to all of you robert kelly a divorce a casa and i tag and as always thank you for watching don't forget you can see the program again at any time just by going to well website at al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to a facebook page at facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter i handle at a.j. inside story from the avery for the good and the whole team here at doha thanks for being with us we'll see you again by foot.

santa maria here in doha with the top stories on al-jazeera four palestinians have been killed in israeli airstrikes on the gaza strip after palestinian fighters five dozens of rockets into southern israel. those killed included a pregnant mother and her fourteen month old child turkey's government says

a strike hit a building housing the turkish state media outlet anatoly agency a flare up comes despite a shaky truce which was brokered by egypt and the un last month very false that in western region. barely a month since the last military escalation waves of israeli warplanes again struck gaza the israeli military said it hit dozens of targets linked to hamas and other factions. throughout the day israeli commanders said scores of rockets were fired from the strip into israel several evading the iron dome anti missile interceptors and striking israeli residential areas around gaza's fringes we already knew that. there was. to react and out there the fight within the terrorist. killed yesterday for where we knew found three and we're hoping to palestinian demonstrators were killed and fifty one wounded by israeli

snipers during border protests on friday which also saw two israeli soldiers shot and injured an israeli strike then killed to hamas fighters their deaths and a subsequent israeli drone strike preceded saturday's barrels of rocket fire out of gaza this is far from the first time in recent months that israel and hamas are found themselves in the midst of a dangerous escalation the last one in early april was ended by u.n. and egyptian mediation and reportedly undertakings given by israel just days ahead of its general election to ease the restrictions on gaza it did extend the fishing zone out to fifteen nautical miles from the coast but other reported concessions such as allowing increased payments from qatar to hamas of forty million dollars a month have yet to happen the hamas and other palestinian resistance to go believe that this is the right timing to put more pressure on netanyahu and. israeli government to make israel abide by the previous understanding's the timing is very

sensitive israel is approaching its. seventh if there's any independence day also there you want a vision festivities and a video released on saturday the al kids brigades the military wing of the islamic jihad threaten to expand its range of rocket fire to high for in the north ben-gurion airport near tel aviv and israel's an acknowledged nuclear reactor in the south. in recent months attacks from both sides of followed a pattern of casualties have been kept to a minimum avoiding a full scale conflict. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has plenty of reasons to stick to that script before this month's independence day celebrations and the euro vision song contest in tel aviv. but both sides also know they can't rule out the risk of a further escalation towards a wider war how we force it out west jerusalem other headlines north korea has just released pictures of its leader kim jong un inspecting rocket launches from the

country's east coast state media call it a strike drill kim has also told his troops to be on alert south korea's president meanwhile expressed serious concern over saturday's launch but president donald trump tweeted that kim jong un doesn't want to break the promises made to him referring to commitments to denuclearization. the youngest brother of algeria's ousted president has been arrested side beautifully had been algeria's de facto ruler since suffered a stroke and twenty thirteen two former intelligence chiefs have also been taken into custody the us is again sending mixed messages on venezuela after speaking to me a persian donald trump downplayed any russian involvement in the standoff there but on saturday his secretary of state blamed russia and cuba for supporting president tour. and syrian and russian government forces are continuing to strike rebel factions in the province in what is meant to be a deescalation zone twenty two people have been killed the fighting is forcing thousands of people from their homes many of whom have already been displaced so.

those are your headlines the occupation of the american mind is up next. feel it he. he. was your lawyer two thousand and fourteen israel launched

a devastating military attack on the gaza strip. over the course of fifty one days is ready to drop twenty thousand tons of explosives the densely populated area the size of the delfi. killing over two thousand palestinians moving tens of thousands more. the overwhelming majority of these casualties were civilians the strip of land is being bombarded from the sea and israel at least one hundred sixty strikes on the gaza strip. and there's one less hospital in gaza now. today a lot hospital. and she is scared of the attacks boat outrage and condemnation around the world israel's month long pounding of gaza shocked many people around the well mass demonstrations have been held in many of the world's major cities. but in

the united states the story was different polls show the american people holding firm in their support for israel this is the latest you know or see all the american show. fifty seven percent of those polled say israel's action in gaza is justified thirty four percent say unjustified these numbers were striking but they were news of the course of the conflict in which palestinian casualties so far outnumbered israeli casualties the american people have consistently shown from zero sympathy for israelis for palestinians it's very difficult to force public opinion on any question from the media coverage that people rely on to form opinions and i think the most prevalent lesson from looking at the coverage is that the coverage tends to see this conflict from the israeli side study after study has demonstrated that israeli perspectives dominate american media coverage so by far the most common thing we've heard is that everything comes down to israel's right to defend itself israel is a state that implements its right to defend itself and its citizens it is

a talking point that is set from the top and by the top i mean from the highest officials government officials who are commenting on this issue which is the media obsessive we cover the repeats a man's gotta do what a man's going to do in your country has got to do what the country's got to do we have to defend ourselves in the most recent war in two thousand and fourteen when we looked at mainstream media outlets almost by a margin of three to one israeli spokespeople over represented compared to palestinian spokespeople so almost every time you turned on the screen there was a israeli representative on the screen telling you israel is the one that's in a position of defense it is being attacked and basically israel is saying hey you don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand that the fuck you're allowed to defend add to this the fact that you have american elected officials also reinforcing israel's right

to defend itself as i've said many times israel has a right to defend itself against rocket and tunnel. sex from hamas and what gets pushed out of the frame entirely is the fact that out the for almost fifty years palestinians have been systematically this possessed from their land and the noise of the most basic human rights. pioneers and refugee. countries of the oppression young and old going down the land. they will march to their world view resettlement to build. one response they want real will respond to palestine and. zionism the nationalist movement that emerged in europe in the late eighteen hundred was dedicated to the idea that the jewish people of to centuries of living

as persecuted minorities within other countries were entitled to state an historic palestine the biblical homeland of the jews more than three thousand years before but there was a basic problem with the choice from the start palestine was already on to hundreds of thousands of palestinian arabs who had been living in palestine for centuries. after world war two when the holocaust the situation reached a break point of the muslim the british colonial government made the decision to withdraw and to pass the problem on to the newly created united nations in one hundred forty seven un resolution one eight one recommended that palestine be split into two parts. jews who are a third of the population would receive fifty six percent of the land palestinians who are two thirds of the population and possess move ninety percent of historic palestine would receive forty four percent these terms were immediately rejected by arab leaders is unfair but in the spring of one hundred forty eight zionist leaders

declared israel a state on the proposed borders anyway triggering the first arab israeli will. get out. early morning. after winning a crushing victory israel took possession of even more land by the time almost this was declared in one hundred forty nine israel controlled seventy eight percent of historic palestine the creation of the new state would be celebrated by israelis as a triumph but to this day it is commemorated by palestinians as the nakba the arabic term for the catastrophe in memory of the hundreds of thousands of palestinians who were driven from their homes to make way for the new jewish state we're all told approximately seven hundred thousand people more than half of august on its native population were up rooted way there's a lot of sympathy that can be generated i think rightly so for what jewish

people as a whole have dealt with in western societies and globally because of anti-semitism the question then becomes what is the proper response to that the zionist answer is of course statehood and there's many people who would sympathize with that if it was in fact done in a vacuum and if it was in fact done for a people without a land in a land without people the reality is that's just not the way that it happened. there were people here they lost their homes their livelihood their nation their everything this was a in one thousand town that was ninety three percent of palestinian arab and. except percent jewish how did it suddenly become eighty percent jewish and twenty percent palestinian this was not a normal demographic transition this was a consequence of israel's desire to create a jewish state and to do that it had to get rid of as many palestinians as possible the palestinians use the term to task.
