Each U.S. administration, since Reagan, has pandered to Israel on settlements, i get the sense from the Palestinian leadership's responses that they believe this issue has to be framed as not just about 'us' but about the world order that people believe in... when you go down this path it isn't just about Palestine, this affects Crimea and other places around the world.

It was very refreshing when Anthony Bourdain came here. It was very revealing that after the segment aired and when Anthony Bourdain talked about Palestinians that Anthony Bourdain made sure to mention the issue of dehumanization, that Palestinians had been deprived of their humanity, anthony Bourdain saw Palestinians as human beings -- it's sad we have to say this in this day and age, that someone saw us as human beings, but Anthony Bourdain did and that for me was very powerful.

I think the leadership is different from the people, on a people level, the support is there because it's a just cause.

The question is not what the regional reaction is, it is what is legal and what is right.
