2:18 2:21 by an errant missile fired by

2:31 2:33 NBC's Richard angle the group is willing
2:33 2:36 to turn over all civilian hostages it
2:36 2:39 holds immediately if Israel stops its
2:39 2:42 bombing campaign but right now President
2:42 2:45 Biden flying to Israel and flying into a
2:45 2:47 hot war zone where for another night
2:47 2:50 Sirens signaled Hamas rocket attacks
2:50 2:52 here in central Tel Aviv but the
2:52 2:54 President also steps into a diplomatic
2:54 2:56 environment getting hotter by the minute
2:56 2:58 we begin our coverage tonight with
2:58 3:02 Richard angle
3:02 3:05 Palestinians call it a massacre and say
3:05 3:07 an Israeli air strike exploded at the
3:07 3:10 alah hospital in Gaza City a direct hit
3:10 3:12 where thousands of Palestinians were
3:12 3:15 taking shelter from Israeli retaliatory
3:15 3:17 strikes on
3:17 3:20 Gaza gaza's Health Ministry which is run
3:20 3:23 by Hamas says hundreds are dead bodies
3:23 3:26 seen lying on the grass outside the
3:26 3:28 wounded were rushed to another hospital
3:28 3:30 in Gaza City Young children are among
3:30 3:33 the victims There Was An Almighty
3:33 3:36 missile shriek and then a big thud and
3:36 3:39 the full ceiling in the O fell on top of
3:39 3:43 us there are lots of children very young
3:43 3:46 children whose bodies were laying on the
3:46 3:49 floor this could be a Tipping Point
3:49 3:51 triggering rage across the Arab world
3:51 3:53 just as the region is on the brink of a
3:53 3:56 wider War Israel quickly denied
3:56 3:58 responsibility and said the explosion
3:58 4:00 was caused by a pales inian rocket that
4:00 4:03 misfired launched not by Hamas but
4:03 4:06 another Palestinian militant group in
4:06 4:09 Gaza many Palestinians don't believe
4:09 4:12 that protests erupted in the West Bank
4:12 4:14 Jordan's King calling it a heinous War
4:14 4:16 crime and President Biden's impending
4:16 4:19 visit is now in Jeopardy the leader of
4:19 4:22 the Palestinian Authority Mahmud abas a
4:22 4:24 moderate left Jordan refusing to join
4:24 4:26 President Biden for a peace Summit in
4:26 4:29 Aman with other Arab leaders and now
4:29 4:31 that Summit has been cancelled inside
4:31 4:35 Gaza Hamas is under pressure on Monday
4:35 4:37 the top spokesman for the group's
4:37 4:39 military Wing claimed the group is
4:39 4:41 willing to release an unspecified number
4:41 4:43 of foreigners it took hostage during its
4:43 4:47 attack in southern Israel today a senior
4:47 4:50 Hamas official told me that offer has
4:50 4:54 expanded we are ready to release uh all
4:54 4:57 the civilians including the foreigners
4:57 4:58 all of the civilians including the
4:58 5:01 Israeli
5:01 5:04 civilians including their I'm sorry you
5:04 5:06 are you can I just clarify this you say
5:06 5:08 you're willing to release all of the
5:08 5:10 civilians including the Israeli
5:10 5:12 Nationals if there is a stopping
5:12 5:14 including the Israeli civilians and all
5:14 5:17 the foreigners and what are you asking
5:17 5:19 for in order to do that do you want the
5:19 5:22 air strikes to stop is that the
5:22 5:26 condition stop the aggression how can we
5:26 5:27 technically logistically it is
5:27 5:30 impossible to do it so that our our
5:30 5:32 viewers might hear that and say that
5:32 5:34 this offer doesn't mean anything that if
5:34 5:36 you're not willing to carry it out then
5:36 5:38 it doesn't mean
5:38 5:41 anything how why if you stop the
5:41 5:43 aggression it can be implemented over
5:43 5:44 the next
5:44 5:46 hour fascinating Richard and there are
5:46 5:48 real fears this Hospital strike could
5:48 5:52 trigger another escalation in this
5:52 5:54 conflict uh there certainly are Lester
5:54 5:56 there are protests scheduled tomorrow
5:56 5:59 across the Arab world and watch Israel's
5:59 6:01 Northern border with Lebanon where
6:01 6:02 clashes between Hezbollah and Israeli
6:02 6:05 troops are intensifying
6:05 6:07 Lester Richard angle tonight thank you
6:07 6:09 we want to get straight to Gabe
6:09 6:10 Gutierrez now he's at the White House
6:10 6:12 Gabe what more do we know about
6:12 6:15 President Biden's rapidly changing trip
6:15 6:17 Lester President Biden just took off and
6:17 6:19 route to Israel but right now the White
6:19 6:21 House is dealing with a major setback
6:21 6:23 late today the Jordanian Embassy said
6:23 6:25 all parties agreed to the cancellation
6:25 6:27 because under the current circumstances
6:27 6:29 the summit would not achieve any of the
6:29 6:32 goals it's set out to it's a dramatic
6:32 6:34 change because just hours earlier
6:34 6:36 Palestinian Authority president makmun
6:36 6:38 abas had met with Secretary of State
6:38 6:40 Anthony blinkin in Jordan tonight the
6:40 6:42 White House says the president is
6:42 6:44 sending his deepest condolences for the
6:44 6:46 innocent lives lost in the hospital
6:46 6:48 explosion in Gaza and that he looks
6:48 6:51 forward to Consulting in person with the
6:51 6:53 Arab leaders soon
6:53 6:56 Lester Gabe gutier is at the White House
6:56 6:58 thank you the fate of the hostages held
6:58 7:01 by Hamas in Gaza including Americans is
7:01 7:03 a top priority for the president as
7:03 7:05 everyone here is awaiting a potential
7:05 7:09 ground offensive targeting Hamas tonight
7:09 7:11 while it launches new air strikes the
7:11 7:13 Israeli military now says a ground
7:13 7:16 offensive into Gaza is not a certainty
7:16 7:19 as Israel targets Hamas for the massive
7:19 7:21 terror
7:21 7:25 attack that killed over 1,400 Israelis
7:25 7:27 and the Civilized World should unite
7:27 7:29 behind Israel in fighting and
7:29 7:31 eradicating Hamas tonight President
7:31 7:33 Biden leaving for the midd east on a
7:33 7:36 dangerous trip into a war zone to show
7:36 7:39 support for Israel to try to nudge open
7:39 7:41 a humanitarian Corridor to get
7:41 7:43 desperately needed Aid to civilians in
7:43 7:46 Gaza and to try to prevent the conflict
7:46 7:48 from engulfing the mid East including
7:48 7:52 Iran which arms and finances Hamas or
7:52 7:54 Iranian backed Hezbollah meanwhile
7:54 7:57 tonight 2,000 US troops are preparing
7:57 7:59 for possible deployment to the the
7:59 8:01 region and with the potential of an
8:01 8:03 Israeli ground offensive new fears
8:03 8:07 tonight for the estimated 199 hostages
8:07 8:10 taken by Hamas terrorists and now held
8:10 8:13 inside Gaza like 21-year-old French
8:13 8:16 Israeli citizen mem seen on this
8:16 8:19 propaganda video released by Hamas can
8:19 8:21 you describe the moment that you saw Mia
8:21 8:26 on that video wow I started to scream I
8:26 8:28 felt on the floor it's the first time
8:28 8:31 Mia as mom Karen has had any word about
8:31 8:33 Mia since she went to that music
8:33 8:35 festival in southern Israel where
8:35 8:38 hundreds of young concertgoers were
8:38 8:41 massacred by Hamas when I saw her I
8:41 8:44 started to scream from happiness and
8:44 8:47 everybody came and we said wow and we
8:47 8:50 were so happy and after everybody went
8:50 8:53 home I sat and I watched the video and I
8:53 8:57 wanted to die because I saw my
8:57 9:03 baby so scared and so in wounded
9:03 9:06 and this is the worst nightmare for
9:06 9:09 every mother in the world does she look
9:09 9:13 like the Mia that you know she looks
9:13 9:16 ped she looks very
9:16 9:19 frightened she looks in
9:19 9:24 pain and she
9:24 9:28 looks alone and
9:28 9:32 um scared the White House says President
9:32 9:34 Biden will coordinate with Israel on
9:34 9:36 addressing the hostage dilemma as
9:36 9:38 pressure is growing on him to take
9:38 9:41 action to free the Americans being held
9:41 9:44 by Hamas believed to be among them
9:44 9:47 23-year-old Hersh Goldberg Poland how do
9:47 9:51 you think he is doing H is not the
9:51 9:52 strongest guy
9:52 9:56 physically but he has a very tough
9:56 9:59 resilient mental makeup and I keep
9:59 10:01 pulling strength from that I just keep
10:01 10:02 saying to myself throughout the day
10:02 10:05 channeling messages to him me also don't
10:05 10:07 give up I talk to him throughout the day
10:07 10:13 and I say we love you be strong survive
10:13 10:16 we love you be strong survive Rachel and
10:16 10:19 Jonathan are hersh's parents he was last
10:19 10:21 seen in this photo there on the left
10:21 10:24 with a group hiding from Hamas gunman we
10:24 10:27 want evidence that he is alive Witnesses
10:27 10:30 said that hiding place was attacked by
10:30 10:33 Hamas and hirs lost his arm in an
10:33 10:35 explosion incredibly he was able to
10:35 10:38 apply his own tourit he was then
10:38 10:41 kidnapped by Hamas we know he got on the
10:41 10:46 truck himself without an arm and that's
10:46 10:49 it now I don't know how to tie a
10:49 10:51 tourniquet I don't know how long it
10:51 10:53 takes you to bleed out when you have a
10:53 10:55 wound like that he might have died in
10:55 10:57 that truck he may have never made it to
10:57 11:00 Gaza we we have no idea this is not an
11:00 11:03 easy question but we all know that
11:03 11:06 Israel is making plans to invade Gaza
11:06 11:08 Gaza is presumably where the hostages
11:08 11:11 are is it your desire that the
11:11 11:14 government would tap the brakes here and
11:14 11:17 not move in quickly look we are American
11:17 11:19 Israelis so we're very well aware that
11:19 11:21 Israel needs to take
11:21 11:25 action as the parents of hirch we're
11:25 11:28 hopeful that the breaks are tapped a
11:28 11:30 little bit before before that
11:30 11:33 happens with the sides in this war so
11:33 11:35 far apart we wondered is there any way
11:35 11:38 for ordinary Israelis and Palestinians
11:38 11:40 to find common ground to even start
11:40 11:42 talking with each other in this tense
11:42 11:48 and uncertain time Tom yamas has that
11:48 11:51 story we traveled to Jerusalem to The
11:51 11:54 Old City to ask about the new war for
11:54 11:57 centuries Muslims and Jews have lived
11:57 12:00 traded and prayed here side by side
12:00 12:03 along these ancient steps but could they
12:03 12:06 spare a few minutes today to talk to one
12:06 12:07 another would you be open though to
12:07 12:09 talking to someone who's about this yeah
12:09 12:10 of course so we're going to find
12:10 12:12 somebody to talk now I'm not going to
12:12 12:14 talk to anybody now because because
12:14 12:16 attentions are very high it's too hot
12:16 12:17 right now too too hot way too hot what
12:17 12:20 do you think about the bombings in Gaza
12:20 12:22 what's the bombing in Gaza they're
12:22 12:25 getting back what they what they sent us
12:25 12:28 who doesn't feel for a man for a family
12:28 12:31 that the house was bombed yeah of course
12:31 12:34 we feel for them but we feel for us
12:34 12:36 first Esther Weiss is an Israeli she
12:36 12:39 owns a jewelry shop in the Jewish quor
12:39 12:42 Hani Imam a Palestinian Merchant who has
12:42 12:45 a stand in the Muslim quor and though
12:45 12:46 their businesses are a short walk from
12:46 12:49 each other their views of this war are a
12:49 12:54 world away the problem is based on 75
12:54 12:56 years of occupation you cannot control
12:56 12:58 people and treat them like kid and
12:58 13:01 animals you treat them like animals
13:01 13:02 because that that's why they became
13:02 13:05 animals it's not true at all because the
13:05 13:08 Palestinians want to work and they stand
13:08 13:11 in line to come and work in Israel
13:11 13:14 they're getting water supply electricity
13:14 13:16 gas they get everything from Israel
13:16 13:18 they're not in a cage you do not go
13:18 13:21 around bombing children and and women
13:21 13:22 that's unacceptable so with that logic
13:22 13:24 the Hamas terrorists were then
13:24 13:26 absolutely wrong as well well first of
13:26 13:28 all I won't call Hamas terrorist I'll
13:28 13:30 call the Hamas that attacked on last
13:30 13:32 Saturday I I would call them militia
13:32 13:33 whatever you call you can call them
13:33 13:36 whatever you want but if there's
13:36 13:38 civilian casualties I totally disagree
13:38 13:41 with that do you think those men are
13:41 13:43 terrorists they're not human being I
13:43 13:46 don't know what to call them terror is
13:46 13:49 not enough and yet despite the animosity
13:49 13:51 preventing these Neighbors from even
13:51 13:54 speaking to each other if they did they
13:54 13:56 may actually agree on something what
13:56 13:58 would you tell him so he understands
13:58 14:00 your side of it has to open his eyes and
14:00 14:04 see that we are people who want peace
14:04 14:06 eventually there will be peace but it's
14:06 14:08 going to take some time it takes two
14:08 14:10 sides to make things work Tom yamas NBC
14:10 14:13 News

15:39 15:41 not be one over with some even asking

2:04 2:06 that Gaza Health officials say has
2:06 2:09 killed several hundred people it's
2:09 2:11 rapidly overshadowing us-led diplomatic
2:11 2:13 efforts Palestinian Health authorities

2:16 2:18 attack Israel says the hospital was hit
2:18 2:21 by an errant missile fired by
2:21 2:23 Palestinian militants but tonight Arab
2:23 2:26 leaders are walking away from tomorrow's
2:26 2:28 planned Summit with President Biden also
2:28 2:31 tonight a senior Moss leader claims to
2:31 2:33 NBC's Richard angle the group is willing
2:33 2:36 to turn over all civilian hostages it
2:36 2:39 holds immediately if Israel stops its
2:39 2:42 bombing campaign but right now President
2:42 2:45 Biden flying to Israel and flying into a
2:45 2:47 hot war zone where for another night
2:47 2:50 Sirens signaled Hamas rocket attacks
2:50 2:52 here in central Tel Aviv but the
2:52 2:54 President also steps into a diplomatic
2:54 2:56 environment getting hotter by the minute
2:56 2:58 we begin our coverage tonight with
2:58 3:02 Richard angle
3:02 3:05 Palestinians call it a massacre and say
3:05 3:07 an Israeli air strike exploded at the
3:07 3:10 alah hospital in Gaza City a direct hit
3:10 3:12 where thousands of Palestinians were
3:12 3:15 taking shelter from Israeli retaliatory
3:15 3:17 strikes on
3:17 3:20 Gaza gaza's Health Ministry which is run
3:20 3:23 by Hamas says hundreds are dead bodies
3:23 3:26 seen lying on the grass outside the
3:26 3:28 wounded were rushed to another hospital
3:28 3:30 in Gaza City Young children are among
3:30 3:33 the victims There Was An Almighty
3:33 3:36 missile shriek and then a big thud and
3:36 3:39 the full ceiling in the O fell on top of
3:39 3:43 us there are lots of children very young
3:43 3:46 children whose bodies were laying on the
3:46 3:49 floor this could be a Tipping Point
3:49 3:51 triggering rage across the Arab world
3:51 3:53 just as the region is on the brink of a
3:53 3:56 wider War Israel quickly denied
3:56 3:58 responsibility and said the explosion
3:58 4:00 was caused by a pales inian rocket that
4:00 4:03 misfired launched not by Hamas but
4:03 4:06 another Palestinian militant group in
4:06 4:09 Gaza many Palestinians don't believe
4:09 4:12 that protests erupted in the West Bank
4:12 4:14 Jordan's King calling it a heinous War
4:14 4:16 crime and President Biden's impending
4:16 4:19 visit is now in Jeopardy the leader of
4:19 4:22 the Palestinian Authority Mahmud abas a
4:22 4:24 moderate left Jordan refusing to join
4:24 4:26 President Biden for a peace Summit in
4:26 4:29 Aman with other Arab leaders and now
4:29 4:31 that Summit has been cancelled inside
4:31 4:35 Gaza Hamas is under pressure on Monday
4:35 4:37 the top spokesman for the group's
4:37 4:39 military Wing claimed the group is
4:39 4:41 willing to release an unspecified number
4:41 4:43 of foreigners it took hostage during its
4:43 4:47 attack in southern Israel today a senior
4:47 4:50 Hamas official told me that offer has
4:50 4:54 expanded we are ready to release uh all
4:54 4:57 the civilians including the foreigners
4:57 4:58 all of the civilians including the
4:58 5:01 Israeli
5:01 5:04 civilians including their I'm sorry you
5:04 5:06 are you can I just clarify this you say
5:06 5:08 you're willing to release all of the
5:08 5:10 civilians including the Israeli
5:10 5:12 Nationals if there is a stopping
5:12 5:14 including the Israeli civilians and all
5:14 5:17 the foreigners and what are you asking
5:17 5:19 for in order to do that do you want the
5:19 5:22 air strikes to stop is that the
5:22 5:26 condition stop the aggression how can we
5:26 5:27 technically logistically it is
5:27 5:30 impossible to do it so that our our
5:30 5:32 viewers might hear that and say that
5:32 5:34 this offer doesn't mean anything that if
5:34 5:36 you're not willing to carry it out then
5:36 5:38 it doesn't mean
5:38 5:41 anything how why if you stop the
5:41 5:43 aggression it can be implemented over
5:43 5:44 the next
5:44 5:46 hour fascinating Richard and there are
5:46 5:48 real fears this Hospital strike could
5:48 5:52 trigger another escalation in this
5:52 5:54 conflict uh there certainly are Lester
5:54 5:56 there are protests scheduled tomorrow
5:56 5:59 across the Arab world and watch Israel's
5:59 6:01 Northern border with Lebanon where
6:01 6:02 clashes between Hezbollah and Israeli
6:02 6:05 troops are intensifying
6:05 6:07 Lester Richard angle tonight thank you
6:07 6:09 we want to get straight to Gabe
6:09 6:10 Gutierrez now he's at the White House
6:10 6:12 Gabe what more do we know about
6:12 6:15 President Biden's rapidly changing trip
6:15 6:17 Lester President Biden just took off and
6:17 6:19 route to Israel but right now the White
6:19 6:21 House is dealing with a major setback
6:21 6:23 late today the Jordanian Embassy said
6:23 6:25 all parties agreed to the cancellation
6:25 6:27 because under the current circumstances
6:27 6:29 the summit would not achieve any of the
6:29 6:32 goals it's set out to it's a dramatic
6:32 6:34 change because just hours earlier
6:34 6:36 Palestinian Authority president makmun
6:36 6:38 abas had met with Secretary of State
6:38 6:40 Anthony blinkin in Jordan tonight the
6:40 6:42 White House says the president is
6:42 6:44 sending his deepest condolences for the
6:44 6:46 innocent lives lost in the hospital
6:46 6:48 explosion in Gaza and that he looks
6:48 6:51 forward to Consulting in person with the
6:51 6:53 Arab leaders soon
6:53 6:56 Lester Gabe gutier is at the White House
6:56 6:58 thank you the fate of the hostages held
6:58 7:01 by Hamas in Gaza including Americans is
7:01 7:03 a top priority for the president as
7:03 7:05 everyone here is awaiting a potential
7:05 7:09 ground offensive targeting Hamas tonight
7:09 7:11 while it launches new air strikes the
7:11 7:13 Israeli military now says a ground
7:13 7:16 offensive into Gaza is not a certainty
7:16 7:19 as Israel targets Hamas for the massive
7:19 7:21 terror
7:21 7:25 attack that killed over 1,400 Israelis
7:25 7:27 and the Civilized World should unite
7:27 7:29 behind Israel in fighting and
7:29 7:31 eradicating Hamas tonight President
7:31 7:33 Biden leaving for the midd east on a
7:33 7:36 dangerous trip into a war zone to show
7:36 7:39 support for Israel to try to nudge open
7:39 7:41 a humanitarian Corridor to get
7:41 7:43 desperately needed Aid to civilians in
7:43 7:46 Gaza and to try to prevent the conflict
7:46 7:48 from engulfing the mid East including
7:48 7:52 Iran which arms and finances Hamas or
7:52 7:54 Iranian backed Hezbollah meanwhile
7:54 7:57 tonight 2,000 US troops are preparing
7:57 7:59 for possible deployment to the the
7:59 8:01 region and with the potential of an
8:01 8:03 Israeli ground offensive new fears
8:03 8:07 tonight for the estimated 199 hostages
8:07 8:10 taken by Hamas terrorists and now held
8:10 8:13 inside Gaza like 21-year-old French
8:13 8:16 Israeli citizen mem seen on this
8:16 8:19 propaganda video released by Hamas can
8:19 8:21 you describe the moment that you saw Mia
8:21 8:26 on that video wow I started to scream I
8:26 8:28 felt on the floor it's the first time
8:28 8:31 Mia as mom Karen has had any word about
8:31 8:33 Mia since she went to that music
8:33 8:35 festival in southern Israel where
8:35 8:38 hundreds of young concertgoers were
8:38 8:41 massacred by Hamas when I saw her I
8:41 8:44 started to scream from happiness and
8:44 8:47 everybody came and we said wow and we
8:47 8:50 were so happy and after everybody went
8:50 8:53 home I sat and I watched the video and I
8:53 8:57 wanted to die because I saw my
8:57 9:03 baby so scared and so in wounded
9:03 9:06 and this is the worst nightmare for
9:06 9:09 every mother in the world does she look
9:09 9:13 like the Mia that you know she looks
9:13 9:16 ped she looks very
9:16 9:19 frightened she looks in
9:19 9:24 pain and she
9:24 9:28 looks alone and
9:28 9:32 um scared the White House says President
9:32 9:34 Biden will coordinate with Israel on
9:34 9:36 addressing the hostage dilemma as
9:36 9:38 pressure is growing on him to take
9:38 9:41 action to free the Americans being held
9:41 9:44 by Hamas believed to be among them
9:44 9:47 23-year-old Hersh Goldberg Poland how do
9:47 9:51 you think he is doing H is not the
9:51 9:52 strongest guy
9:52 9:56 physically but he has a very tough
9:56 9:59 resilient mental makeup and I keep
9:59 10:01 pulling strength from that I just keep
10:01 10:02 saying to myself throughout the day
10:02 10:05 channeling messages to him me also don't
10:05 10:07 give up I talk to him throughout the day
10:07 10:13 and I say we love you be strong survive
10:13 10:16 we love you be strong survive Rachel and
10:16 10:19 Jonathan are hersh's parents he was last
10:19 10:21 seen in this photo there on the left
10:21 10:24 with a group hiding from Hamas gunman we
10:24 10:27 want evidence that he is alive Witnesses
10:27 10:30 said that hiding place was attacked by
10:30 10:33 Hamas and hirs lost his arm in an
10:33 10:35 explosion incredibly he was able to
10:35 10:38 apply his own tourit he was then
10:38 10:41 kidnapped by Hamas we know he got on the
10:41 10:46 truck himself without an arm and that's
10:46 10:49 it now I don't know how to tie a
10:49 10:51 tourniquet I don't know how long it
10:51 10:53 takes you to bleed out when you have a
10:53 10:55 wound like that he might have died in
10:55 10:57 that truck he may have never made it to
10:57 11:00 Gaza we we have no idea this is not an
11:00 11:03 easy question but we all know that
11:03 11:06 Israel is making plans to invade Gaza
11:06 11:08 Gaza is presumably where the hostages
11:08 11:11 are is it your desire that the
11:11 11:14 government would tap the brakes here and
11:14 11:17 not move in quickly look we are American
11:17 11:19 Israelis so we're very well aware that
11:19 11:21 Israel needs to take
11:21 11:25 action as the parents of hirch we're
11:25 11:28 hopeful that the breaks are tapped a
11:28 11:30 little bit before before that
11:30 11:33 happens with the sides in this war so
11:33 11:35 far apart we wondered is there any way
11:35 11:38 for ordinary Israelis and Palestinians
11:38 11:40 to find common ground to even start
11:40 11:42 talking with each other in this tense
11:42 11:48 and uncertain time Tom yamas has that
11:48 11:51 story we traveled to Jerusalem to The
11:51 11:54 Old City to ask about the new war for
11:54 11:57 centuries Muslims and Jews have lived
11:57 12:00 traded and prayed here side by side
12:00 12:03 along these ancient steps but could they
12:03 12:06 spare a few minutes today to talk to one
12:06 12:07 another would you be open though to
12:07 12:09 talking to someone who's about this yeah
12:09 12:10 of course so we're going to find
12:10 12:12 somebody to talk now I'm not going to
12:12 12:14 talk to anybody now because because
12:14 12:16 attentions are very high it's too hot
12:16 12:17 right now too too hot way too hot what
12:17 12:20 do you think about the bombings in Gaza
12:20 12:22 what's the bombing in Gaza they're
12:22 12:25 getting back what they what they sent us
12:25 12:28 who doesn't feel for a man for a family
12:28 12:31 that the house was bombed yeah of course
12:31 12:34 we feel for them but we feel for us
12:34 12:36 first Esther Weiss is an Israeli she
12:36 12:39 owns a jewelry shop in the Jewish quor
12:39 12:42 Hani Imam a Palestinian Merchant who has
12:42 12:45 a stand in the Muslim quor and though
12:45 12:46 their businesses are a short walk from
12:46 12:49 each other their views of this war are a
12:49 12:54 world away the problem is based on 75
12:54 12:56 years of occupation you cannot control
12:56 12:58 people and treat them like kid and
12:58 13:01 animals you treat them like animals
13:01 13:02 because that that's why they became
13:02 13:05 animals it's not true at all because the
13:05 13:08 Palestinians want to work and they stand
13:08 13:11 in line to come and work in Israel
13:11 13:14 they're getting water supply electricity
13:14 13:16 gas they get everything from Israel
13:16 13:18 they're not in a cage you do not go
13:18 13:21 around bombing children and and women
13:21 13:22 that's unacceptable so with that logic
13:22 13:24 the Hamas terrorists were then
13:24 13:26 absolutely wrong as well well first of
13:26 13:28 all I won't call Hamas terrorist I'll
13:28 13:30 call the Hamas that attacked on last
13:30 13:32 Saturday I I would call them militia
13:32 13:33 whatever you call you can call them
13:33 13:36 whatever you want but if there's
13:36 13:38 civilian casualties I totally disagree
13:38 13:41 with that do you think those men are
13:41 13:43 terrorists they're not human being I
13:43 13:46 don't know what to call them terror is
13:46 13:49 not enough and yet despite the animosity
13:49 13:51 preventing these Neighbors from even
13:51 13:54 speaking to each other if they did they
13:54 13:56 may actually agree on something what
13:56 13:58 would you tell him so he understands
13:58 14:00 your side of it has to open his eyes and
14:00 14:04 see that we are people who want peace
14:04 14:06 eventually there will be peace but it's
14:06 14:08 going to take some time it takes two
14:08 14:10 sides to make things work Tom yamas NBC
