" We have been added. We have another yes that's been added. Wonderful. But you able to join the consul general I think -- very is -- conflict now. Well in New York welcome very much you we've held out his private conversations you've got here because we wanted to discuss. President Obama's meeting with. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas. For what -- your kind of take on this mean."

" I just saw the press conference I don't know what was inside of meeting of course. President wants to continue negotiating with peace and obviously the stated reason is once peace -- our neighbors and hopefully will happen."

" Saying known as --"

" settlements -- already announced that we will be of new settlements and that's what we announced probably of the new settlements is what happens inside a sentiment we think that inside the construction and we can still be. People for the sons and daughters of the people leave their once -- next to their people we understand that we want to expand the settlements but we want to built in fact things."

" Is President Obama friend of his room and are you going to have a tougher time with Obama then. With President Bush. "

" Let us we could have. Prime minister Netanyahu met with President Obama anything that President Obama is a friend of Israel and that's good enough for me."

" OK all right you say in the in terms of you know having a two state solution here don't you see that many -- and is this something that's going to happen."

" Since it was left the president of the United States tried very hard to reach two state solution and every prime minister of Israel wanted to prove -- solution he says very explicitly that we are in favor of the solution. Nothing happened. Nothing happened because people were shooting at our homes and policies. Now it's of the fact that the important we understand that the Palestinians the right to govern themselves and we have instances the government. But obviously that have a we have a Palestinian state until the statement and an army. 02. Could other countries in the -- that they can. Have borders that normal thing we saw what happened in Gaza is that by we only had. Israel left -- settlements there and so what what -- action by the Palestinian hostages ridiculously so obviously we're walking and we don't lasting peace and relative to speculative --"

" How can you do it differently and mean -- president after president has trying to make this. This peace between Israelis and Palestinians. How how can we do it differently how is Obama gonna do that."

" I hope it will do it from bottom up. No phony deal with the leadership but also with the people there we have probably the people who have probably being segment how what the country of -- they're building there we need to start. From the finish the normal citizens make sure that they have a better on me that they have something who has. Wolf with the people that really believe that this should be a -- in -- The type of that the state solution and we should have peace it's only an open ended."

" I think he should do great marketing plan which will implement. Exactly what you're saying I think that that you know like he might -- simply promotion of holes erratic. On how to get people to change there or opinions on both sides. And I think that that is the whole community marketing. We'll put purposes I mean that is great and marketing. As the line as satisfying people's needs. Getting people to find out why do you hate the Israelis Israelis why do you have limitations on the Palestinians. Getting them to sit down. That's the time but what you really couldn't run that he and our psychology. That have done research on changing. And then with the use of marketing. -- help you get. It -- people."

" I couldn't agree more and that's exactly what we're trying to do we have a problem that in the education -- the people of yet earning -- being there thought that these relieve the enemy what we have a little radical right -- the Palestinians find out of the United States but it is an American general general David. Inside with helping the Palestinian. Tried to make to act like normal people enormous faith and to have them believe that we won't better and we'll be corrupted and we're doing it it's not something that could happen. In a -- yeah in the month but we'll -- we've got a great and hopefully will help."

" You brand and -- when American citizens and we were talking before. And tell him about how evangelicals -- it it was written in like the Jerusalem Post evangelical I believe with a written response was not quite sure but it was an Israeli. Standard newspaper. Talk about half perhaps evangelicals are the best hope for Israel and influencing. Washington DC and we're not talking under bush were talking under Obama."

" I don't know about the investment -- edit the -- my great friends of state division. I know as a closer and you'll you'll -- relationship with the engine and groups overrun mistakes especially in these schools. There's been no we're very different from Jerusalem and we will -- very closely with the wings. And they are the best friends Jewish faith and hope."

" And that's the change because. And mr. so baptism here and that's really part of the sort of new education I've evangelical. I think so and I remember as a child growing up in southern Baptist churches in the south we were -- to have you know deep and abiding respect for for Israel hands you know it was just something that you know we were that was hammered -- our heads and Sunday school and and -- services. Oh what has been your relationship with -- reflective of the southern Baptist and you know a lot of other evangelical groups it seems as though what what what what is it about the relationships."

" I think they understand that we are the good there that would say that the best -- than we are the and their organization as you said that it's. I would prevent an -- feel Christians united for Israel walking with us on a daily basis and other -- all the time -- Half of 1% of of phone calls and meetings and it's doing. Ventures and projects we're trying to do it and I think they're really good friends of the states."

" There is a reason why evangelicals are there. Good friends of Israel this is something that you know talk about is that. There's a biblical reason why -- devils that they have to support Israel because there is -- not sure which virtually book isn't new testament it talks about. How god says those who stand with my chosen people will prosper. And those -- stand against them all offensive. Biblically speaking in evangelical wondered who takes those both of those words to heart says it is a Christians. Job. Sort of rule to support Israel. Not blindly -- thing. But it certainly it explains a lot why these evangelicals are standing."

" So that we agree on everything but animal friends so I thought I was okay to look apparently you know hopefully house today. I don't agree with my wife when everything -- I don't believe and these -- for example I'm gonna have here in Leo -- great food and support of the state of these room and they feel the people who either or project from groups that helping us in history."

" It is it is. That's actually today that usually there's reports of what this is the David Moses spun down the ten commandments. Very important -- ten commandments and how you could actually named the --"

" There. Is the test."

" Reply envelope like god now John I have strange because people -- not -- about shall not steal. Thou shalt not -- witnesses against thy neighbor but cannot -- that way what I'd done it it's like. I have a pretty good company vomit -- write everything. The don't know now is pretty good."

" actually you know the first four command."

" Have to deal with your relationship to god with. The next six. Relationship with God's creations of the first. Half of -- before McCain. The person on the sad thing. It is. Okay. Support. Definitely welcome. I. Bible stay right miles. And there's a fourth -- the effects it's it with. Anyway but in between is is on a father and mother and you wouldn't say they will. -- exactly but you would say the name of the gods were not regular naming things against yes. Somebody will probably -- here we go out and got them sign this conservative these things. It's. And -- so it -- some more emails here we need to this is Bob pitched well but I again. We need to pray daily for the peace of Jerusalem very -- Even -- Israel guy. Her talking about this Abraham said. The world would be less by you and I will bless those who left my people this is why we are the most blessed nation on earth. It's interesting that this is -- evangelicals tickets are the areas biblical mandate you to support Israel. Although. And this brings up an interesting point if the reason United States supports Israel because -- a bullet. A biblical mandate. That for us. Brings the problem with the church and state say where has been the emphasis before. Even -- kind of got all I don't think there is them. Now America."

" Supports this -- is -- upon democracy regions -- twenty. Minutes strategic. About you now. The fact that there are political groups that also support for other reasons that helps distract them. Policy I don't think that the biblical. Mandate is that were part of how Americans became. -- policy backwards if there's one other aspect of this I don't know that it's the main. Reason for evangelical and I know it's one that you know -- and talk about -- privately. Which is that there is. There is a certain notebook that supports Israel because it fits apocalyptic vision. -- part of there sets now. Revelations go to people that'll. Relates to two conflict in Israel and that that's part of why they support. So like where this came up in the campaigns. -- hate site was exporter. John McCain. -- people -- surprised saying that you know actually in order to bring the second coming. We really need conflict. -- we need a conflict conflagration. In the Middle East and now things are coming and that some Jewish groups have been well. May."

" Not that part. -- Yeah if it. It's an interesting. Wait you're one of the things that -- empathize. -- that is that if you look at it really. Palestinian Lebanese conflict. In the context of 67 years old understanding. And perspective. Yours. -- I think that's kind -- always missing is political. His political discussions that."

" If it is really lucrative. On in the last six weeks this volume of 63 years or even more -- fidelity --"

" From my part of our minds ever again if you know Arabs and Palestinians and you -- more sympathetic empathetic to their causes not understanding -- it. That that -- freezes. Between these two groups. For a little bit like him but anyway but I want to win with that thought that. You got -- a wider perspective on the Israeli Palestinian conflict and whether there is there can truly be peace in the Middle East but --"

" I think we can. It. -- Here for."
