of the laws. the ada, calif. building code, the civil rights, and our experts here will elaborate. we also have a list of certified caps at work in san francisco for you. carla johnson with the mayor's office of disability has created a really good it died of out to interview your experts to make sure you are getting the best quality product for you. been next -- the money you pay for the inspection you can take as a tax deduction. any money that if you have taken can be applied as a tax deduction. this can be done on an annual basis. next, the opportunity, and a fund -- opportunity loan fund, providing for small businesses to pay for the inspection or to make improvements needed. to do it before you receive the lawsuit. and lastly, we of the bar association and their resources. they're providing their legal service for you. this last thing i am going to share with you in terms of what we have seen in our office is that with the individuals, that does not necessarily mean an individual will follow up with a lawsuit. what we've seen in our office is the individual's will send you a letter a

act of 1990 is a wide-ranging federal civil- rights law that prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities. title two of the ada addresses access to public services, including public transportation for persons with disabilities. it requires transit operators to call out stops at transfer points, major intersections, and major destinations, and to announce particular stocks requested by customers with disabilities. stop announcements are especially important for passengers who are blind or have low vision. these individuals cannot travel independently if they are not assured of getting off at their intended destination point.

. >> ifill: another important part is the civil rights moment. civil rights crisis. civil rights leaders same to his office and talked to him about what they expected of the kennedy presidency but also he found himself in a difficult position in trying to manage what was unfolding in mississippi with the integration of the university of mississippi with james meredith. in this piece of tape we hear him talking to the then governor of mississippi ross barnett. >> ifill: governor barnett had an different idea about how to handle this crisis. >> that's a key moment. sometimes you can tell more from the intonations than the words themselves and president kennedy is raising his voice a little and saying i'm in charge here and you're not and the governor backs down. they're teach each trying to work with the other. they're trying to save face a little bit and not let this thing get out of hand but j.f.k. takes control of the situation. >> ifill: governor barnett wanted james meredith removed because he thought they was source of the problem? >> yes and president kennedy thought if he were removed h

motivated your interest in politics? >> i guess i have always been passionate about civil rights and equality for everyone, and i have a 10-year-old daughter, so having a girl has made me much more sensitive to gender equality and other issues, but i guess i have always been someone that is vocal about my politics, but as a supervisor, and having to listen to many perspectives before making key decisions. as an activist in chinatown, i have always felt that working families and people who work in our neighborhoods need to have much more support. it is always about giving more voice to immigrants or the underserved and workers in the city. that is what drives my passion as a supervisor. >> tell me about the process of running for supervisor. what did you learn from the campaign process? was anything surprising? supervisor mar: i had to move from being a regular person that barely gets his kid to school on time and makes her a healthy lunch to having to go to a photo opportunities. i was on the school board for eight years, i had some training. and i was in the democratic party cen

the surface, there is that movement. if it was 1959, and i told you there is going to be a civil rights movement, most people would think that i was crazy, and yet, a few months later, these four students take over the woolworth's, and that set off a new wave of civil rights activism. tavis: there are a great number of people in this book whose names i expected to find. i see ella baker, thurgood marshall, others. does that say dr. seuss? >> yes. tavis: how did dr. seuss and make this hall of fame? >> what people did not know about him, before he was a famous children's author, he was an editorial cartoonist, and a lot of his children's books have a subtle but very obvious to some people, if you look for it, social-justice a theme. there is one metaphor for hitler. it is about a bully who abuses its power, -- his power. there is a book about two sides, two different groups of people who were trying to get bigger weapons to kill each other. and one was a dr. seuss book that is not a movie. it was about the environment and how corporate greed was destroying the environment. a generation o

problems in the country on feminism and the civil rights movement. they jumped to the republican party and soon after many of their wives followed. >> we on the left, liberals like to say that the white working class left because of racism and certainly richard nixon and pat buchanan were brilliant in convincing the white working class that government only cared about black people and women to some extent and didn't care about them. >> but walsh says it's more complex than that. >> my mother was a civil rights liberal. but as the 60s turned to the 70s she saw the social disorder and she became afraid. and so white working class women did move with their husbands. the gap to this day that the democrats have enjoyed with women is much bigger with single women. the gender gap originated with reagan and white women started being a little bit more white working class women, a little bit more susceptible to the appeals of democrats. >> today women's issues are considered by many to be economic issues impacting all americans. >> we're talking about pay equity with the lily ledbetter act, but

said yes you cannot segregate jobs by gender. in 1964 civil rights act outlawed it. judy was absolutely fabric ousted. they called the equal opportunities employment commission in washington and find it. so the next day she dialed the eeoc in washington and the woman said yes, that's legal. and she said i don't think the men know it's illegal. [laughter] she said why don't we just tell them? and the woman said, are you crazy? she said people in power don't want to give up power. they will promote -- she said to have a very clear case. you have to sue. so now judy had a moral issue. it wasn't just she wasn't being promoted, it was this is an illegal thing. and one by one she started talking to her friends. i was the fifth person that she spoke to. and we decided because we were terrified that we would be fired if anybody found out, that we each of us would talk to one other person who did talk to one of the person. and where do we organize? in the ladies room. that plays have tears in the organization. and so, we want by one got to be about 20 women on the staff when we realized we neede

trivializes things, the same way he did the 47%. the real issue is civil rights for women, equal pay for women. the republican party has been against this. they're against the ledbetter act, which provides as a civil rights, a civil right for women, equal pay for women. romney's trying to evade it. the whole election really comes down to romney out there trying to evade the real positions of the republican party now that he's the nominee and has looked at the poll numbers and what plays well in certain states. and his own record. he's been, when he was governor, totally on the opposite side of the abortion question, of contraception, of planned parenthood, et cetera, et cetera. i talked to three governors and former governors, all republicans, in the last two weeks, all of whom have said, who the hell is romney? what does he really stand for? we don't know, but we know he's following our party's line, which is essentially a tea party line. these are republican governors and former governors. the truth is, we don't know who the hell mitt romney is at this point. if we look at his record in mass

to be equality, men, women, and the other thing has to do with the civil rights of it, are you going to have different race people and that's what i would like to get on to the public record that by law and by the rules, it should be included in the hiring process because i myself would have made notice of other people that there is a possibility of employment through wood house. on other matters of it being a historic site, they demagnetize it so it doesn't get as reactive. they don't even do that anymore, so the other part when they had to get wildlife, i like fishing out in front there, i like to get 67 pounds, but when you go looking around the house there, i think they're going to be -- a lot of neighbors are making a lot of noise and they want to do some legal type of maneuver, they can, but if you're going to get this project done and have already issued the rfp, i think it's time for this commission to make a decision that's going to be very important. i see four people here, their livelihoods, this has dragged on for a long time and they have complied with nearly everything that's r

the possibilities for the farc to participate on one side in colombian civil politics and the rights of victims of violence of all sides, all armed actors in the conflict on the other side. >> we will have more on the situation in colombia later, but regional calls are backing calls for the cease-fire. >> the arab league and turkey are on board, an iranian state media says that tehran has also thrown its support behind a plan. >> the syrian peace envoy proposed the deal this week during a second tour of the middle east aimed at stopping violence. >> inside syria, the fighting continues. rebel fighters say they shot down an army helicopter. >> criminal proceedings have started against a key opponent of president vladimir putin. >> he has been a prominent leader of protests against the president, and authorities claim that a documentary on a pro- kremlin tv channel shows evidence that he plotted mass disorder. >> civil rights groups and critics say it is part of a broader clampdown from russia. >> police raided his apartment in the early hours of wednesday and arrested him. officials accused the

and the civil rights movement, and only toward the last ten years, fifteen years have i started on the questions of what makes an individual try to change history? but i would argue this is actually a strong coherence in all of this. when you're writing about social movements, when i was writing about the -- that lead to the sit in movement in north carolina and 19 60. i was feeling what happened to the poor people. how did they make up their minds to put their lyes on the line? when they did that, within nine weeks, there were slr demonstrations in 54 cities and nine different states. a new phase started because four young individuals decided to make history. that got me interested in all of the individual making history and i did write the -- because in some respect it helped to highlight what makes someone come to the point actually decide to intervene in the historical coming to together. i wrote a book called "private lives and public consequences" it started on the roosevelts and ended with bill and hillary clinton. the more i look at clintons, the more i became aware how important their p

think about this as a mother and a person who cares about civil rights westerlily. and -- generally. his presidency would be a cast is or a number of things i care about, including, i feel like, the financial and economic injustice security for my children. >> okay, all right, we're going to take a break. when we come back, we'll talk more about this, especially a lot of people tend to use religion as well and they're taught that we have a new bishop in san francisco. we'll find out what the gay community's response is to that when we return. . >>> welcome back. we're talking with kate kendall, she's an attorney and the executive director of the national center for lesbian rights. and that is really a national group. we're talking about, we start to talk about religion. >> we have a new -- . >> we have a new bishop in san francisco and he's been very vocal against same-sex marriage. >> yes, he has. >> i think i would know the obvious response from the gay community. i guess my question is what do you hear from gay catholics, especially those in serious, loving committed relationships? >>

thought that johnson had done a great job on domestic issues. he got through two landmark civil rights proposals, the public accommodations act and the boting rights act of 1964- 65. no other politician could have gotten those bills through congress. he practically twisted off the arms of southern senators to get the support out of them said that they could pass that bill. when he signed it into law, he turned to some of us who have been supportive of the law, he said, folks, there goes tht e south for the next 100 years. he was right. the solid south for the democrats became the solid south for the republicans. >> he said that during the signing ceremony? >> yeah, gentlemen, there goes the south. i had forgotten whether he set the next 50 years or the next 100. johnson knew the south better than any of us and what it took to run for office there. when i saw him resigning from running for reelection, the guy that ran earlier, i knew his heart was not as much in that war as earlier. the tapes came out and we knew his heart was not in it. i felt sorry for him. he had done ellora of good

worked hard for civil rights in texas when she was growing up. he fought the plan will heart out there. so when my mother was -- he fought the klan out their real hard. so when my mother was in europe, she fought for the gypsies. for life. that is why she took me to haiti. she believes very much in the flag of equality in all things. and cornell west is her great hero. tavis: so you mentioned your daughter maya who is now 14. who is an artist in her own right. so it is not just navigating being a parent. your a show-biz guy who has a daughter who is already in show biz. how're you navigating that? and you perform with her. i saw that thing on youtube. >> what do you do with the kid? she said that whole thing up. kids are not like little puppies that you can control and have them do everything. she writes songs and she sings songs and she believes and herself. i was doing explores. i am not in the position to tell her she cannot be an artist. i am in a position to tell her that i do know a little something about how to have a meaningful life in the arts. and if you covet fame, if you co

property today, have it inspected, and make the changes because this is a civil rights statute. it is the same thing as discrimination based on race, and it is treated the same way in the courts. >> i heard the previous speaker make some good points about be a pro are the -- proactive about getting a task inspector before you get sued. i am f. task inspector. if you have to cut -- heard the term thrown around, inspection created by our state senators, and it is really great information out there that i want to encourage everyone. i will not be able to go into extensive details, but i will be able to tell you a little bit of what is involved. the difference is in the california building code. i can also give you tips on how to choose and specter appeared first of all, the program has an inspector's knowledge of the california building code, and the reason why that is so important is because you have to comply with both. the california billing code is enforced when you get a building permit, and forced by the local building requirements. it says all new buildings have to be total

. chisana still here? no. malic followed by brad newsham. >> good afternoon. my civil rights are violated. we were not given a opportunity because we are in the minority. thank you very much for that. thanks a lot. because you don't like to listen to us because we're just children you gave us one minute to speak so i am protesting to be silent. i am protesting to be silent. i am protesting to be silent. i am protesting to be silent. i am protesting to be silent. i am protesting to be silent. i am protesting. i amp9xl protesting. i am protesting. retirement. you're trying to rob my family's future. tiu)áip &c @&c"p%: thank you, >> god bless you. >> chairman nolan: thank you. >> god bless you. >> emil lawrence, brad newsom,bñ edena. mr. lawrence here?13-;jfñ no. mr. newsham here? no. >> when i came to this country, i was a uc student ant berkeley and i missed my -- and i was on drugs. then i started driving a cab. and then i know about this waiting list. and i got married. and i have four children. and we all hope for this. and i tell them soon, soon, our

of getting the results of the civil rights movement i think a lot of us expected. something was blocking black progress. i wanted to know what it was. it was only over time that it has to do with how many black people are in jail. then why. i started to learn it was the drug war with us for 40 years now. it was putting black people away by controls and having a huge impact on that community. >> the easiest one that seems like for people to digest is the difference in sentencing between crack and cocaine. >> it's amazing. >> that's the one that i think is maybe the most easily digested. >> sure, well, people may not know this historically crack has been punished 100 times more severely than powder cocaine even though they are the same drug. over time experts came to congress and said i'm a judge i'm telling you it makes no sense in the law, makes no sense in science and it's a huge impact on the black community affected by crack. it's a racist law. congress wouldn't hear it. only this past year they said beal drop it from 100-1 to 18-1. >> jon: so they admitted it was absolutely an injust

civil rights, israel stands to relocate as many as 30,000 from several different communities. in this community, their full israelis and the sins and were moved here by the israeli government in the 1950's from their ancestral land. they now face of the chin, their homes to be demolished because israel wants to build a new community here. israel says this village and many others are not recognized and therefore, illegal. they argue that the forced relocation of these communities would contravene international law. >> we want to move you to bring someone else. as a set, human rights are suspended. the rule of law is suspended. >> concentrating on her homework, she has a dream to one day become a teacher. her father admits if the school was demolished, that dream might never be realized. >> we have received a statement since filming that story that says the school was built illegally, they have no permits for construction. he issued a stop orders and demolition orders. the state is still waiting to find an appropriate place for relocation, but it will be demolished eventually.

. >> the americans with disabilities act of 1990 is a wide-ranging federal civil- rights law that prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities. title two of the ada addresses access to public services, including public transportation for persons with disabilities. tips for respectful communication for people with disabilities brochures are available. call sfmta accessible services at 415-701-4485 for copies. >> hello, i am with the recreation and parks department. we are featuring the romantic park location in your backyard. this is your chance to find your heart in santa and cisco with someone special. -- san francisco with someone special. our first look out is here at buena vista park, a favorite with couples and dog walkers. both have a significant force. a refreshing retreat from urban life. the romantic past that meander up and down the park under pines and eucalyptus. hang out in this environment and you might see butterflies it, fennel, and then the lines. -- dandelions. is ada accessible. public transit is plentiful. we have conquered the steps, we have watched the do

in the community in accordance with our civil rights, you know, as what's affirmed under the olmstead decision to support people living in the community. so this legislation that was introduced i think is a very important step towards supporting people here and you can expect to be hearing more about it over the next two months and i would encourage everybody to come to the hearings as the legislation is actually discussed in committee and at the board and to voice your support. another piece of that legislation, too, would mandate the installation of telephone jacks in the units because of course communication sometimes is that life and death link to emergency services. i also wanted to bring to the attention of the council a new committee that will start meeting next week. it's called the accessible parking policy advisory committee. this is sponsored by the municipal transportation authority. the first meeting will be on tuesday, october 23, at 2:00 pm at 1 south van ness. the public is welcome. what the committee plans to do is review existing state and local walls that govern placards

america. but rickard's studies showed a different story. >> i studied civil rights and slavery, and i was so affected by an american story that was so different from the way that i had seen our country. i remember just being furious, you know. >> it's that fury and in d indignation that had fueled rickard's work. but since he's not on scene taking the photographs, it became controversial. it can be fascinating work to -- >> this guy says lazy, turgid, pathetic and entirely uninteresting. it's all over the board. people have commented that i'm not even a photographer. >> of course it's photography. i think what doug is doing is looking through google as sort of his lens. the internet is helping redefine what it means to be a photographer. >> see this? and then you come right into here. and there's damage. >> in fact, rickard says, in an ocean of digital imagery, creating something special is becoming more and more difficult, no matter how easy the tools are. >> i think it really boils down to what you bring to it, you know, that's between your ears, you know, ultimately. art is about i

down the street, a nonprofit civil rights organization that provides legal services in a number of areas and i worked on criminal justice and juvenile issues. that is my day job. i also live in the sunset district of san francisco, which i think we have for chinatown's -- it's one of our other chinatowns in san francisco. my parents are immigrants from china and owned a chinese restaurant for a long time in portland, oregon. a couple of other things i want to get across -- my interest in terms of the commission includes language access, cultural competency, a juvenile issues and immigrant rights. thank you for coming tonight. >> i am also a native san franciscan. my wife and i have raised their two children here. they are native san franciscan, as is my wife. my day job is i am an attorney but prior to that i was an assistant district attorney in san francisco. for nine years, i was an assistant night -- an assistant united states attorney assigned to the organized crime unit. i'm on this commission because i love this city and i take our police department is a special part of t

to the whole issue of the morality of justice fighting for civil rights and things like that. dorothy also helped hillary sustain people. if they were intimidating her. and she made hillary a very proud young woman but she also conveyed a pivotal lesson and that lesson is there's nothing in the world more important than saving your family. you must hold on to your family, protect your children and don't even consider the issue of divorce. now clearly this is a reflection of her own experience. never give up. never give up on your family. he comes back from oxford and goes to yale and he's kind of troubled. i'm not sure how many of you know but it's not at all infrequent that students don't go to class because they're often in political campaigns from social activists. for the first three months he was at yale law school he was very active in politics. hillary was very active also and in that first year became very close to marian edelman and she was committed to a series of social issues and was a leader all during her time at wellesley and yale. a leader that was a reformer, who was an ac

position as their grandparents, deprived of their civil rights. who do you blame for the situation or what do you blame? >> well, it has been a bipartisan adventure. the war on drugs and the get-tough movement is responsible for millions of people being swept into our nation's prisons and jails. people are swept in, typically at young ages, often before they're old enough to vote, swept in for relatively minor crimes, typically. nonviolent, drug-related offenses, swept in, then branded criminals and felons, and then released into a parallel social universe in which many of the basic civil and human rights supposedly won in the civil rights movement, no longer apply to them. like the right to vote. >> people will say, okay, so what are we supposed to do? are we not supposed to fight a war on drugs? are we not supposed to put people in jail or prosecute them for drug violations? >> well, drugs were illegal before the war on drugs was declared. we declared a literal war on poor communities of color and we did so at a time when drug crime was actually on the decline, not on the rise. president

in the civil-rights movement's were very upset that the university had a rule that prohibited them from engaging in political activity on campus. to appreciate that the previous summer mario savio had been in mississippi helping register blacks to vote as part of freedom summer, they had been attacked by the ku klux klan and risked their lives for something they believed passionately about and came back to berkeley to find out they could not even handout a leaflet on campus or collect a quarter for a civil rights group or even hand out a leaflet for barry goldwater for president who was the candidate who had been nominated in san francisco. so the students tried to negotiate with the university. the university refused. in defiance some students set up a card table at the main administration building and handed out leaflets. in short order a police cruiser pulled into the middle of the plaza and arrested somebody named jack weinberg who was behind the table but before they could go anywhere students began to sit around the police car and the entire plaza was filled with students around t

at this point, saying, things are looking closer in ohio, let's rejigger. >> you have to civil right for every vote, and part of it is allocating these resources. when you have to invest resources in different areas, at this point in north carolina, we have the victory centers open and everything, but at the same time, it's moving these resources where, in other key states as well. >> let's shift to an issue, an important constituency. "the new york times" reporting that both campaigns looking at latinos as deciders in three swing states. that's colorado, nevada, and florida. however, mitt romney trails the president among latinos at the moment in a recent pew poll. when you look at phrases like self-deportation, the issue of the use of illegals, which is seen by tb latino community as being very insensitive, how does this resonate, then? how does this show that the romney campaign does, indeed, value this constituency? >> well, i'm a latina, from florida, originally, now in virginia. but i have to tell you something, immigration's an important issue and governor romney has made it very clear

and other civil rights organizations put up countervailing billboards where we -- >> before you go any further, pause and just remind folks that they were watching last week and they saw those billboards in pennsylvania, but remind people what those billboards say. >> sure. so the billboards say that voter fraud is against the law, that there's a 10,000 fine and three years of imprisonment. all in black communities in milwaukee and in ohio and some latino communities. we know that these billboards are put up to intimidate people, scare them off from voting, because there's a lot of mythology around what happens if, for example, you vote and you didn't pay your parking tipgts or you vote and you didn't pay child support or you voted and you didn't show up for jury duty. those kinds of things make people think, oh, no, i need to stay away, and so what we had to do is we have to educate voters. we have to do a countervailing balance because we know that there are people who don't want african-americans and latinos to vote. >> let me ask you about this countervailing because it seems to me

is gone. it may never be seen again in the history of civilization and it's stored right here. without the voice of the cameras they would really have no voice and these landscapes would just disappear and nobody would be the wiser. it would be as if a tree fell in the forest and no one was there to hear the sound. it's the exact same conundrum. if a glacier melts in the arctic and there's no camera there to see it did it ever really exist? did it ever really happen? well, the cameras give life and voice to those processes and places. the scientific language that this story is told in is profoundly, profoundly, profoundly important. and it's what we build the pictures on. so i don't want to forget that. but then when you stack the visualization on top of the scientific understanding and then you marry those two things together, the art and the science, and you have something really powerful. >> when i saw the nasa satellite imagery of greenland i thought -- i honestly thought, "why doesn't jim balog let nasa do it? he doesn't have to take the risk anymore. this technology's doing what

be seen again in the history of civilization and it's stored right here. >>> james balog has come here from iceland and alaska with some urgency because what he has to tell us, barack obama and mitt romney simply refuse to talk about. welcome, james balog. >> i'm glad to be here, thank you. >> i've read the science on climate chae. and then i read your book and saw your film and suddenly i more than get it. it gets me. does that make sense to you? >> yeah, it does. and that's the same reaction we've heard from many, many, many people across all parts of the philosophical and political spectrum. it really is this convergence of art and science that i think really hits people. and yeah, to be honest with you, having learned about these kind of sciences back when i was in my 20s, i tried to forget about the sciences for many decades. and i went off and saw the world as a visual artist. and then in this project i came back and really infused the science back into my thinking about, thinking and feeling about the world as an artist. and it turned out that this combination of art and science

trees planted in honor of the civil rights leader. in a city where three days of street closureses are as welcome as a bad rash, remarkably all of l.a. seemed to rally behind this lengthy shuttle endeavour. >> and it arrived here at the science center without a single scratch. now after 123 million miles in orbit and 12 very challenging ones here on earth, its final mission is now complete. ben tracy, cbs news, los angeles. >> jeff: that is the "cbs evening news" tonight. later on cbs, "60 minutes." i'm jeff glor, cbs news, in new york. scott pelley will be here tomorrow. good night captioning sponsored by cbs captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org fever will cost you this tie around.

stanley for subprime mortgages. the aclu accuses the bank of violating civil rights laws. it says morgan stanley encouraged a lender to push riskier mortgages on black customers in detroit. the bank says the allegations are "completely without merit." >>> and there's a new chapter for kindle customers. amazon says they are entitled to a credit for ebook purchases. it's part of a settlement between the federal government and three publishers. the publishers were accused of price fixing. the credits are expected to range from 30 cents to $1.32. definitely check and see if you're eligible for that. >> i hope that refund is coming in the mail soon. ashley morrison here in new york. thank you, ashley. >>> in sports, a hard-hitting game two in the national league championship series in. the top of the first, matt holliday with a hard slide, barreling into marco scutaro. but in the fourth inning, scutaro gets some payback. a two-out single to left scores two runs after the ball is misplayed by holliday. san francisco goes on to win 7-1. the giants have tied the series at one game apiece. >>> an

of a sufficiently powerful anti-segregation consensus to pass civil rights legislation. for a major political party to become devoted to fairness between israel and palestine will take at least that long. but the reason that alan dershowitz and commentary found the erosion of bipartisan support alarming is that partisanship would let loose a torrent of competitive debate about the morality and the utility of america's special relationship with israel. israel's treatment of the palestinians under the occupation would be subject not only to academic and journalistic scrutiny as it is now, but to political polemics. something like the openly-expressed behavior, something like the openly-expressed skepticism about israel's behavior on elite university campuses would become widely disseminated. the special relationship's survival depends on its own rules of discourse. israel's value to the united states is held to be so self-evident, it's interests and values so obviously congruent to america's that any criticism must be deemed marginal, weird, motivated by bigotry. those that question the consensus are

on which they bilt historic alliances on civil rights, vietnam, and church-state relations, and, yet, the churches also have ties to the arab world as educators and missionaries and social workers and refugee camps and have arab co-religionists seeing themselves as promoters of social justice. historically, the tension was resolved in favor the silence not to upset relations with america's jewish leaders. that period, which has lasted since the founding of israel seems to be now over. thirdly, the very obvious pushback against israel's effort to attack iran or support israeli strike or accept israeli advice on what tables and red lines washington should adopt. this involvedded firm public language. the chairman of the joint chiefs saying we don't want to be come police sit in an israeli attack, and secretary of state, clinton, rejecting israel's red lines, and obama not rearranging a schedule to meet with benjamin netanyahu in new york. obviously, this was not over palestine. it was over an issue with more immediate and obvious economic and security implications for the united states
