- democracynow.org - Secretary of State John Kerry has blasted Israel’s government, saying in a major address on Wednesday that the relentless expansion of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank threatens Israel’s democracy and has all but ended the prospect of a two-state solution with the Palestinians. "If the choice is one state, Israel can either be Jewish or Democratic; it cannot be both," Kerry said. "And it won’t ever really be at peace." Kerry’s speech followed intense Israeli criticism of the U.S. for refusing to veto a Security Council resolution last week. The measure condemns Israel’s expansion of settlements as a flagrant violation of international law. The resolution passed in a 14-0 vote. The U.S. abstained. We speak to Palestinian attorney Diana Buttu and Israeli journalist Gideon Levy, a Haaretz columnist.

It's an apartheid.
OK, Benjamin, we'll keep our $38 billion.
not likely, but that would be great (for the US , for a change)
$ 338 billion must be used for USA citizen
the homless the weak
put that money into the National Health Service
to provide a decent care for all American
when it comes to their health
This is the best discussion on Palestine/Israel that I have heard in a very long time. Thank you.
Israel: I want my money back!
What Israel needs most...is a moderate, secular government. What would the world look like if there were no theocracies?
This guy is awesome, where have I been while he was able to get this old without me hearing about his work?
Israeli influence in the mainstream media.
They keep him, jewish historian Ilan Pappe ,
Jewish professor Norman Finkleshtein,Jewish professor Noam Chomsky, and many many others. Sadly most Americans don’t even know REALLY what’s going on in The Middle East. All they want you to know is about the Kardashians!
thank you amy goodman for bringing this
You guys are some of the best honest non bias reporters. I thank you for another great report.
thank you for actually sharing NEWS and Information.
The US will be fully back in the pocket of Israel after January 20th. This is an extremely minor issue. Israel depends on US military support to avoid peace and keep feeding expansion. This process will go on as long as the money and arms keep flowing to Israel. Palestinians live just like black South Africans before Mandela.
Great interview
I find Miko Peled's thoughts from a few years ago on a one-state solution compelling and it's good to hear Diana Buttu's Palestinian voice saying similar things. How popular is her view in the West Bank and Gaza? It wold be interesting to see some stats.
If no democracy now, when?
Thanks Democracy Now! Wow, what? there's a real Palestinian spokeperson on, amazing, only on Democracy Now! Ms Buttu is perfect as well thanks Amy and, shoot forgot his name other host.
Great pertinent questions. Kerry's kinda 30 years behind.
Diana Buttu seems very strong and honest.
Gideon Levy = 3rd place in Robert Dinero look-a-like contest.
By the Grace of God Gideon Levy is like a breath of fresh air and a source of hope for the Palestinians. Stay Blessed
Very glad to hear that Diana Buttu prefers now the One state solution rather than a two-state so-called solution based on Nakba, denial of Palestinian refugees. Israel as a colonial & racial creation without official frontiers and in perpetual emergency state will always be at war and a danger for independance in the Middle East. Long live a plurinational and democratic state of Palestine with all religions respected.
Shes right I've watched as many vids as I can since the Kerry speech and I only saw one Palestinian voice, out of several videos.
Best efforts my ass.
USS Liberty?
A nuclear-free Middle East - including Israel obviously - is the only way to really start moving forward. Allowing them - a tiny country at odds with the UN on so many issues - to have nuclear weapons was a major geopolitical disaster.
Israel can struggle from racism to democracy, we are still working through it in the US, but it's the best way, tear down the wall, equal rights for all, forcibly integrate the settlements, live in peace with the peaceable resident. Isn't that what Bibi's own Bible commands?
the original jews maybe are from ethiopian origins but, the white jews that live today have nothing to do with the original jews from the bible. The only thing they have in common are the bad apples, Zionists and the pharises.
1870 - 1890 Is when the Zionist movement was started. They burst into the Ottoman empire with "Jews" and has been screwed ever since. I doubt that the people living in Israel are the biblical Nation of Israel. I agreee
oh wow my name is Diana Butu...
What about a unity village/market in the West Bank. I support that. I think I already paid for it too. Air bnb those homes that were built.

MIGHTY MIGHTY ISRAEL, waste your enemies.
Gideon, that's not exactly true about Obama - he was determined to change the situation, but when his opponents in his homeland invite the idiot from Israel to speak in Congress at the time of the Iran deal it is obvious that he is dealing with serious obstacles.
two-state solution : the end of the charade... finally ! But now what ?
TheUnspokenAlias The Israelis will eventually seize the rest of the land and the Palestinians killed or driven out....so...same old, same old.
It's either that, a long-term apartheid state, or the end of "the Jewish state", and all options have this in common that they will lead to perpetual insecurity for the Israelis. Should they go for "the final cleansing", they would be left at the mercy of the neighboring Arab/Persian countries like never before, and since the Great Chameleon said it was only a matter of time before these countries too acquire a nuclear arsenal, which they would then be able to use without fear of killing other Muslims, MAD would be the only perspective for the Middle-East. It seems Zionist hardliners have dug their own graves, doesn't it ?
TheUnspokenAlias Israel's nuclear weapons...like everyone else's are next to useless...to use them means burning Israel to ashes...no matter the outcome of a nuclear strike. Israel stands at a crossroads...to end the occupation and rise up or continue it...and ensure their eventual destruction. I see no other way for them. Time is no longer on their side I'm afraid.
But is rationality ?
TheUnspokenAlias Not thus far...but I have hope.
Why does Democracy now, and my liberal friends alike, never concern themselves with other disputed territories-- Baluchistan, Kurdistan, Cyprus, Kashmir, and Taiwan, to delineate a few?
First Last h
Brilliant ?
And Mr Trump will tweet his 'plans' when he thinks of some.
Israel. shame on you. and declaring war on nz for proposing this resolution when the whole un agreed to it unanimously. it stinks frankly .
One of the only good things about Israel is that they have some beautiful women.
Israel's plan is to build there country nobody should think differently
טרולים הסברה
I am not sure about the argument FOR the two state solution. Unless the Palestinians TRULLY state and believe that ISRAEL has a right to EXIST. Otherwise a 2 State solution will only be a reprieve of settlements to allow Palestinians to regroup and get political advantage. I feel this is the biggest issue to peace. A TRUE commitment for both nations to EXIST and not advocate as a political ploy
initial cannot be cold occupied and on land maybe you occupy the Indians because we are over there before even the Islam
God Bless Israel
Asef Tesfaz funking amhara
God bless twice Palestine.
