1. Previously on The West Wing:Copy !req
2. - You're still here.
- I'm still here.Copy !req
3. - We have no choice but to retaliate.
- And blow the summit out of the water.Copy !req
4. The president knows, right?
He's going to have to bomb Palestinians.Copy !req
5. A guy wants to come to a peace table,
and I've got a table.Copy !req
6. Is the president doing a summit? What's
he need a second Nobel Prize for?Copy !req
7. Congress, the Joint Chiefs, the
American public, your own staff . . .Copy !req
8. . . . everyone disagrees with
your assessment of the situation.Copy !req
9. - Tell me how this ends, Leo!
- We don't always know how it ends!Copy !req
10. Israel cannot agree to attend
a summit with Chairman Farad.Copy !req
11. Chairman Farad. Welcome.Copy !req
12. We got ourselves a ball game.Copy !req
13. Tell the general to hit the Ein Hawa
camp near Damascus.Copy !req
14. Sir, I hope the president knows
how lucky he is to have you.Copy !req
15. I can't have them picking up
any signals from you that we disagree.Copy !req
16. - No, sir.
- Ladies and gentlemen . . .Copy !req
17. . . . thank you for coming.Copy !req
18. We will require a resolution
that balances the needs of both . . .Copy !req
19. . . . with respect to national identities
and religious beliefs.Copy !req
20. But there can be no lasting peace . . .Copy !req
21. . . .no regional stability,
without a strong, secure Israel.Copy !req
22. And there can be no lasting peace . . .Copy !req
23. . . . without a sovereign, viable state
for the Palestinians.Copy !req
24. Good morning. Let me give a rundown of
what's happened so far at Camp David.Copy !req
25. The Israeli and Palestinian delegations
arrived yesterday evening.Copy !req
26. The parties reconvened at 10:20 this
morning. The president will be meeting . . .Copy !req
27. . . . with the chairman and
Prime Minister Zahavy at 12.Copy !req
28. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs,
General Alexander . . .Copy !req
29. . . . will make a statement, after which
he'll take questions. General?Copy !req
30. Moments ago, F/ A-18 Hornets
off the Abraham Lincoln . . .Copy !req
31. . . .in the Persian Gulf struck the
Ein Hawa terrorist training camp . . .Copy !req
32. . . .32 kilometers southwest of
Damascus in the kingdom of Syria.Copy !req
33. Whether you choose to do this
today or 10 years from today . . .Copy !req
34. . . .you will face the same geography.Copy !req
35. The same neighbors,
the same ancient animosities.Copy !req
36. More years of bloodshed and pain
will not change those facts.Copy !req
37. The only path to a real and
lasting peace is through negotiation.Copy !req
38. - Toby.
- Sir.Copy !req
39. The parties have agreed to break
into subgroups this afternoon . . .Copy !req
40. . . . after Chairman Farad, Prime Minister
Zahavy and President Bartlet . . .Copy !req
41. - . . .meet to agree on topics of discussion.
- Excuse me, Toby, if I may.Copy !req
42. You'll be hearing this news shortly,
but our FBI has identified the group . . .Copy !req
43. . . . responsible for the deaths
of Americans in Gaza . . .Copy !req
44. . . . and we've launched an attack
on their camp in Syria.Copy !req
45. Gentlemen, if you will join me on
the Aspen terrace at noon. Thank you.Copy !req
46. - No, no.
- They're not getting Jerusalem.Copy !req
47. We say that, Farad's not gonna be here
long enough to unpack his toothbrush.Copy !req
48. Go to your opening list again.Copy !req
49. Farad gives security guarantees and
takes tangible action against Hamas . . .Copy !req
50. - . . . and he ain't getting Jerusalem.
- Enough with Jerusalem! Kate.Copy !req
51. Israel allows Palestinians to form
a viable sovereign state.Copy !req
52. - We discuss the right of return.
- We won't get a refugee deal.Copy !req
53. - They have to go somewhere.
- There's room in Montana.Copy !req
54. They can secede from the Union.Copy !req
55. Can we go inside? I got flies or gnats.Copy !req
56. - We need something on Jerusalem.
- So do we have a draft?Copy !req
57. - No.
- Yes.Copy !req
58. - Israelis aren't gonna give up Jerusalem.
- Palestinians won't deal without it.Copy !req
59. We're back where we were last night?Copy !req
60. Delegations are on their way.Copy !req
61. We punt on Jerusalem this morning,
tackle it later. Agreed?Copy !req
62. Mr. Share-Your-Gum-With-Everyone here.Copy !req
63. Yeah.Copy !req
64. Why isn't Leo up here?Copy !req
65. This president has a solemn duty
to help the only true democracy...Copy !req
66. in the Middle East defend itself
against murderers.Copy !req
67. Murderers of Israelis, of Americans,
murderers of thousands of people...Copy !req
68. Josh lands in an hour.Copy !req
69. CNN's got the speaker on an endless
loop like a Pink Floyd concert.Copy !req
70. They're punishing us for
cutting access to Camp David.Copy !req
71. - Natives restless?
- There may be a mutiny afoot.Copy !req
72. I heard a couple of them plotting to
throw our Mr. Coffees into the Potomac.Copy !req
73. Speaker's on his way. Doubt he'll miss
the cameras on his way in or out.Copy !req
74. - You wanted me?
- We're losing the media war.Copy !req
75. I want us on the morning shows,
Crossfire, Dateline.Copy !req
76. - Book This Old House if there's an angle.
- Who goes?Copy !req
77. You, me, the assistant deputy secretary
for Fishery Exploitation. I don't care.Copy !req
78. - We gotta get our message out.
- What is our message?Copy !req
79. "Shut up while we're trying to get
them to stop killing each other. "Copy !req
80. Mr. President, how are your children?
Your grandchildren?Copy !req
81. - Everything's well, I hope?
- All very well. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.Copy !req
82. Please. Annie started high school
last week.Copy !req
83. I've ordered tea. Would anyone
like something else?Copy !req
84. Tea is fine. Thank you.Copy !req
85. We need to agree on the topics
of discussion for the subgroups.Copy !req
86. I've come up with a few things
to help us get started.Copy !req
87. First, security for Israel after withdrawal
from the Territories.Copy !req
88. We will need to maintain military
presence in the Jordan Valley.Copy !req
89. What message this sends to my people
about sovereignty?Copy !req
90. Please, excuse me. Discussion of
these issues is for the subgroups.Copy !req
91. We're only suggesting topics now.
Thank you.Copy !req
92. Second, disposition of the settlements
and the land apportioned to them.Copy !req
93. - Third, right of return for refugees.
- No, there's not right of return.Copy !req
94. It's a claim of return.Copy !req
95. Fourth, how the Palestinian Authority
will go about dismantling terrorist groups.Copy !req
96. Well, that's four topics. I guess
we can catch a double feature now.Copy !req
97. What about Jerusalem?Copy !req
98. I thought we'd put off
discussion of Jerusalem—Copy !req
99. Israel will not give up
control of Jerusalem.Copy !req
100. Jerusalem is central to our topics.Copy !req
101. Please. Let's begin on these
four issues, see if we can reach—Copy !req
102. We should start with Jerusalem.
If we can't resolve that . . .Copy !req
103. . . . why spend time on the little things?Copy !req
104. Little things? Like denouncing terrorism?
Security of Israel?Copy !req
105. - Our capital must be Jerusalem.
- Israel will not give up Jerusalem.Copy !req
106. Then why are you here?
Why are any of us here?Copy !req
107. For once, Mr. Farad, you are right.
My apologies, Mr. President.Copy !req
108. There is no progress to be made here. I
should've never accepted your invitation.Copy !req
109. - Sit down, Eli.
- No, we will not negotiate . . .Copy !req
110. - . . . sovereignty over the Temple Mount.
- The Dome of the Rock stands . . .Copy !req
111. - . . . where Prophet Muhammad—
- Stop it.Copy !req
112. Gentlemen, I have staked
my personal credibility . . .Copy !req
113. . . . and the credibility of the United States
on suggesting, perhaps foolishly . . .Copy !req
114. . . . that Israelis and Palestinians
are reasonable people . . .Copy !req
115. . . . who would like to try to resolve
their differences peacefully.Copy !req
116. No one is going home
after one hour of talks.Copy !req
117. Now then, the subgroups will begin on
these four topics after lunch. Thank you.Copy !req
118. Excuse me.Copy !req
119. That went well, don't you think?Copy !req
120. C.J.? I've got you booked on Meet
the Press, Crossfire and Taylor Reid.Copy !req
121. - Taylor Reid?
- Nobody else would do it.Copy !req
122. Now that's good staff work.Copy !req
123. - Hey.
- Hey.Copy !req
124. - How's Donna?
- She threw me out.Copy !req
125. Her mother's driving her crazy, and
her IRA boyfriend is plotting sedition.Copy !req
126. - Maybe it was seduction. Probably both.
- Dashing photojournalist?Copy !req
127. - The professional term is "wanker."
- Listen to you. Too much BBC.Copy !req
128. Too much sauerbraten.
So Leo's still down here?Copy !req
129. - Yeah, he's in his office.
- Why isn't he up at Camp David?Copy !req
130. - So where do you want me?
- How's Donna?Copy !req
131. - Better. May be able to fly in a few days.
- Get up to Camp David.Copy !req
132. Toby thinks the president's
gonna give away the store.Copy !req
133. - When are you coming up?
- Tomorrow maybe. The day after.Copy !req
134. Everything okay?Copy !req
135. Syrians are blowing enough gaskets
to open a new subcontract . . .Copy !req
136. . . . they want a resolution
at the U.N.--Copy !req
137. I'll stop by my apartment, pick up
some clothes. I'll drive straight up.Copy !req
138. Margaret!Copy !req
139. We heard from the president
this morning?Copy !req
140. No, sir. You want
me to call Debbie?Copy !req
141. No. Thanks.Copy !req
142. Good afternoon.Copy !req
143. The president, the prime minister and the
chairman met successfully over coffee . . .Copy !req
144. . . .at Aspen to finalize the topics
for today's discussions.Copy !req
145. Following lunch, the delegations
are breaking into subgroups . . .Copy !req
146. . . . for this afternoon's talks on a variety
of mutually agreed-upon subjects.Copy !req
147. While it's too early to comment upon
the direction and tenor of the talks . . .Copy !req
148. . . .I can tell you the buffet of Maryland
crab cakes, baked New England cod . . .Copy !req
149. . . . and Washington state
Apple Brown Betty . . . .Copy !req
150. We must have a military presence
in the Jordan Valley . . .Copy !req
151. . . .to secure the borders.Copy !req
152. And how would that be different
from the current occupation?Copy !req
153. How are we a sovereign nation
with IDF units in our streets?Copy !req
154. We're gonna have 4 million
Palestinians living next door.Copy !req
155. Israel could be cut in two by tanks
and artillery in about 15 minutes.Copy !req
156. What tanks? What artillery?Copy !req
157. Even if every Palestinian man, woman
and child were given an Uzi . . .Copy !req
158. . . . they'd be no match for your military.Copy !req
159. - And we won't allow that to change.
- We must be able to defend ourselves.Copy !req
160. Defend yourselves? From who?Copy !req
161. How about Hamas? How are we to argue
there is no longer a reason to fight . . .Copy !req
162. . . . when your army is there
exactly as before?Copy !req
163. We cannot support withdrawal
from the Territories . . .Copy !req
164. . . . without assurances of our security,
and that means our troops.Copy !req
165. A million Palestinians were being
expelled from their homes—Copy !req
166. Closer to 700,000.
And they weren't expelled.Copy !req
167. They left after being urged
by Arab leaders.Copy !req
168. We were terrorized by Zionist troops
who were threatening . . .Copy !req
169. . . .to torch every Arab village
in Galilee.Copy !req
170. If you'd accepted the partition plan
in '47, not a single Palestinian—Copy !req
171. - if I might interrupt.
- Palestinians were being massacred.Copy !req
172. - Even Israeli historians admit this.
- It was war.Copy !req
173. Only three years after the Holocaust.Copy !req
174. If we'd lost, there would have
been another slaughter of Jews.Copy !req
175. Mr. Chairman, Madame Ambassador,
excuse me.Copy !req
176. It may be more productive
to turn to current problems . . .Copy !req
177. . . . rather than 50-year-old events.Copy !req
178. If there is room for a million
Russian Jews in Israel . . .Copy !req
179. . . . why isn't there room for Palestinians
who simply wish to go home?Copy !req
180. Good afternoon. Let me
give you a rundown . . .Copy !req
181. . . . of what's happened at
Camp David this morning.Copy !req
182. Delegations continued to discuss issues.Copy !req
183. They will begin at 10
and resume after lunch.Copy !req
184. They will end early, as it is Friday.Copy !req
185. Prime Minister Zahavy has invited
the president and first lady . . .Copy !req
186. . . .to join the Israeli delegation for
Shabbat dinner. I'll take questions.Copy !req
187. Can you tell us what issues are being
discussed, and is progress being made?Copy !req
188. The talks include a range of issues,
and getting Israelis and Palestinians . . .Copy !req
189. . . .to sit in a room together without a
combat unit or trial attorney is progress.Copy !req
190. Israelis will return the Territories
but want a military presence.Copy !req
191. Palestinians don't get how it's their
house if it comes with Israeli tanks.Copy !req
192. Have you mentioned Germany?
We've had troops there for 50 years.Copy !req
193. They asked how many British
were in Philadelphia . . .Copy !req
194. - . . . after the American Revolution.
- Plenty, but they were . . .Copy !req
195. - . . .you know, shackled to the wall.
- What about settlements?Copy !req
196. The Israelis may abandon
Gaza . . .Copy !req
197. . . . but they want 75 percent of
West Bank settlements to remain.Copy !req
198. Mukarat might go for it
if he gets land in exchange.Copy !req
199. - Sounds promising.
- Only Mukarat wants twice as much . . .Copy !req
200. . . .as Israelis say the settlements sit on.Copy !req
201. - How's he justifying that?
- Says Israelis took the best land.Copy !req
202. - Wants two-for-one in exchange.
- Dismantling terror?Copy !req
203. Israelis want Farad to renounce
terrorism. But in Arabic . . .Copy !req
204. . . . on Al Jazeera. They want more
than a promise to disarm Hamas.Copy !req
205. They want it before they leave.Copy !req
206. - What do the Palestinians say?
- That Farad's renounced terrorism.Copy !req
207. Is that why he calls for the blood
of a million martyrs in all his speeches?Copy !req
208. - Maybe that's an interpretation problem.
- Right of return?Copy !req
209. Farad wants the right of return
to apply to all Palestinians.Copy !req
210. The Israelis are concerned about
3 million Palestinians moving back in.Copy !req
211. Gallup did some polling
in the West Bank.Copy !req
212. Found that while refugees wanted
the right to come back, most wouldn't.Copy !req
213. Then they won't be disappointed.Copy !req
214. Well, look at the bright side.
Nobody shot anybody else the first day.Copy !req
215. - Okay.
- Good shot.Copy !req
216. We start small.Copy !req
217. See if we can get an agreement
on anything.Copy !req
218. No matter how inconsequential.
Something we can build on.Copy !req
219. I'll continue to sit out
so I can jump in later.Copy !req
220. But one small move is all we need
to get things rolling.Copy !req
221. - Thanks, guys.
- Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
222. - Sir, anything I could be doing to help?
- Go with Toby and Will.Copy !req
223. I think they need some
positive reinforcement.Copy !req
224. Sir, should we be here?Copy !req
225. Glad you're back, Josh.Copy !req
226. Yes, sir.Copy !req
227. Jed?Copy !req
228. Where's Leo?Copy !req
229. The Palestinians only became refugees . . .Copy !req
230. . . . when our Arab neighbors
refused to accept them.Copy !req
231. Eight hundred thousand Jews were
similarly expelled from Arab nations.Copy !req
232. Six hundred thousand of them
were resettled in Israel . . .Copy !req
233. . . . without compensation
from Arab countries.Copy !req
234. You bring up the issue of compensation.
Would Israel be prepared—?Copy !req
235. We are not asking for money.
We want the right of return.Copy !req
236. We can't allow 3 million refugees
the right to freely reenter.Copy !req
237. Of course not.Copy !req
238. Since the 19th century,
Zionist leaders have advocated . . .Copy !req
239. . . .a transfer of Arabs out of Palestine.Copy !req
240. - We can't accept unlimited immigration.
- Perhaps we should take a break.Copy !req
241. If the Arab population
hadn't been uprooted . . .Copy !req
242. - . . .no Jewish state could've arisen.
- So it was right for Palestine . . .Copy !req
243. . . .to be cleansed of its native population
to establish a Jewish state?Copy !req
244. We are prepared to sacrifice, but not to
formalize our dispossession. Excuse me.Copy !req
245. An abrupt removal of our forces
from the Territories . . .Copy !req
246. . . . would create a power vacuum.Copy !req
247. How are we to prevent rocket attacks
from Palestinian-controlled areas?Copy !req
248. It would be our responsibility
to gain control over our militants.Copy !req
249. We've tried that before.Copy !req
250. You've never given us time to assert
ourselves before you come rushing back.Copy !req
251. It's almost 4, and we had asked
to end early for Kabalat Shabbat.Copy !req
252. Right. Why don't we meet back
here tomorrow morning at 10.Copy !req
253. - Excuse me.
- Thank you.Copy !req
254. They've done everything in their power
to undermine moderate leadership.Copy !req
255. Don't they understand that when they
blow up leaders of Hamas with bombs . . .Copy !req
256. . . . bulldoze Palestinian homes,
they only make them stronger?Copy !req
257. Boys in Gaza, they no longer want
to be doctors, teachers, engineers.Copy !req
258. Now they all want to be martyrs.Copy !req
259. So there's an opening on
compensation for refugees.Copy !req
260. Maybe. But Israel's not gonna agree
to an unlimited right of return.Copy !req
261. There might be a pitch for most going
to the new Palestinian state . . .Copy !req
262. . . . and Israel agreeing to take a few.
Like the 9 percent who told Gallup . . .Copy !req
263. - . . . they might wanna go.
- Work on that. Toby?Copy !req
264. Not much on security.Copy !req
265. The Israelis won't leave a West Bank
that isn't protected militarily.Copy !req
266. And we're still far apart on any kind
of land swap for the settlements.Copy !req
267. - Mukarat's sticking to 10 percent.
- Israelis say 3.Copy !req
268. - Ideas on how to break the logjam?
- Too bad Congress isn't here.Copy !req
269. They'd just cook the books
and hold a press conference.Copy !req
270. - Mr. President, get ready for dinner.
- Okay.Copy !req
271. We need some suggested solutions
on security and settlements.Copy !req
272. That's tonight's homework.Copy !req
273. Okay. Rosebud after dinner.
We solve world peace.Copy !req
274. How's it going?Copy !req
275. - Yep.
- Are you gonna talk to him?Copy !req
276. Somebody better do something . . .Copy !req
277. . . . or this time next week, we're gonna
be the ones who lose our right to return.Copy !req
278. Amen.Copy !req
279. It's beautiful, isn't it? The Salah.Copy !req
280. They have to do it five times a day.Copy !req
281. Amen.Copy !req
282. The tragedy is that the Palestinians
and the Jews are so much alike.Copy !req
283. How's that?Copy !req
284. All through history,
no one's wanted either of them.Copy !req
285. Good morning. Let me,
as has become my custom...Copy !req
286. give a generic rundown of what's gone
on since yesterday afternoon's briefing.Copy !req
287. The president had a meeting with Prime
Minister Zahavy sometime after 10 p.m.Copy !req
288. This was at the prime minister's cabin.Copy !req
289. The president then hosted
Chairman Farad at his cabin.Copy !req
290. I won't say whether they
played a game of Twister.Copy !req
291. - Fixed positions won't work.
- How long will they be there?Copy !req
292. I don't know. Four years?Copy !req
293. Farad's gonna hate it.
Zahavy's gonna hate it.Copy !req
294. - You have a better idea?
- Wait till they die.Copy !req
295. I'll be free the whole millennium.Copy !req
296. Two old paleonationalists who've been
clawing each other's eyes for 50 years.Copy !req
297. They don't want a deal.
What are they gonna do for fun?Copy !req
298. Swap recipes for Matzoh Brei?Copy !req
299. Yeah, I hear the lawn bowling
is great in Tel Aviv.Copy !req
300. - With human pins, apparently.
- How's it coming?Copy !req
301. You all right?
You're looking a little bit . . . .Copy !req
302. Those leftover taquitos
Will found in here last night.Copy !req
303. Anybody got an antacid, or maybe
an aunt who knows how to cook?Copy !req
304. Keep them. I got more in the room.Copy !req
305. So?Copy !req
306. Kate has an idea on security.Copy !req
307. Israelis pull out of the West Bank,
but keep troops in position . . .Copy !req
308. . . . for three or four years.Copy !req
309. After that they fall back to Israel, but
keep early warning posts for monitoring.Copy !req
310. Okay.Copy !req
311. - Excuse me?
- I said, okay.Copy !req
312. - Where were you the last three hours?
- Let's take it for a walk.Copy !req
313. - Walking a dog is a perfect analogy.
- Toby's not a fan.Copy !req
314. Zahavy may go for it, but every time we
begin to get anywhere, Mazar jumps in.Copy !req
315. The defense minister.
Then split them up.Copy !req
316. - How we supposed to do that?
- I don't know. You'll think of something.Copy !req
317. I've always wanted to try
skeet shooting. You shoot often?Copy !req
318. Yeah. You know, once or twice
a week. When it's in season.Copy !req
319. Here we are, gentlemen.Copy !req
320. So tell me, Toby. How exactly
does this work?Copy !req
321. Well, they hurl a couple of
clay pigeons, we shoot them.Copy !req
322. Unless they hurl the wrong direction.
Then we duck.Copy !req
323. - You know how to fire a gun, sir?
- Yeah, I'm fine.Copy !req
324. Ready, Mr. Minister?Copy !req
325. Pull!Copy !req
326. - How long were you in the army?
- I still am.Copy !req
327. Every Israeli citizen is in the reserves.
Your turn.Copy !req
328. - You sure you know how to do this?
- I know back in Israel . . .Copy !req
329. . . .you play this game
with Cobra gunships, but I'm fine.Copy !req
330. - What?
- You may not want to rest like this.Copy !req
331. You have to stand, you know, more firm.Copy !req
332. Yeah, well, this is the way
we do it in Brooklyn. Pull.Copy !req
333. Fixed positions in the West Bank
for four years.Copy !req
334. Maybe less. If things go well.Copy !req
335. - Then how many monitoring sites after?
- Two or three.Copy !req
336. So you can keep an eye on the
Jordanian border and the Palestinians.Copy !req
337. It could be more than four years,
if that's what you're—Copy !req
338. We would need a mechanism to deal
with emergency developments.Copy !req
339. - He'll do it?
- Some version of it. Yes.Copy !req
340. - Farad?
- He'll be the last to sign on.Copy !req
341. Mukarat will support it
if we get him away from Farad.Copy !req
342. - What about right of return?
- Israelis won't do an unlimited right.Copy !req
343. - Farad is standing on principle.
- I can work on him.Copy !req
344. I think he likes me.Copy !req
345. Josh, Will, get back in with Zahavy . . .Copy !req
346. . . . before Toby has to start
feeding the clay pigeons.Copy !req
347. And get him to commit on security.
Okay, let's go.Copy !req
348. We may just have our tennis match.Copy !req
349. - You don't think so?
- We haven't got to the tough part.Copy !req
350. - We're making progress.
- Yes, sir, you are. And that's laudable.Copy !req
351. Laudable. You make it
sound like an honorarium . . .Copy !req
352. . . . from some two-bit chiropractic
college in Arizona.Copy !req
353. - You planning to discuss Jerusalem?
- That'll be last.Copy !req
354. - Because it's the only thing—
- Damn it, don't you think I know that?Copy !req
355. I'll go see if I can get Galit to give
us a number on compensation.Copy !req
356. Mr. Chairman, I know how difficult
it would be for you to appear . . .Copy !req
357. . . .to be abandoning the principle.Copy !req
358. It's not reasonable to ask that
Israelis allow an unlimited number . . .Copy !req
359. . . . of refugees to return.Copy !req
360. I was born in the city of Zefat.
Do you know Zefat?Copy !req
361. It's in the mountains of upper Galilee.Copy !req
362. I was 8 years old
when the British left.Copy !req
363. There were 52,000 Arabs
in Zefat. Only 1300 Jews.Copy !req
364. Within a month, the Haganah
had taken over the city.Copy !req
365. My eldest sister, Amira, was killed.Copy !req
366. The body of my brother, Aziz . . .Copy !req
367. . . . was found hanging from
a burned cypress tree.Copy !req
368. We fled to Syria . . .Copy !req
369. . . . lived in tents, ate United Nations
handouts and surplus American cheese.Copy !req
370. I still remember the view of the valley
from the roof of our house.Copy !req
371. The smell of the pomegranates.Copy !req
372. The sound of children
playing in our orchard.Copy !req
373. The home of my father,
of my aunts, my uncles.Copy !req
374. They are now art galleries
and bed-and-breakfasts.Copy !req
375. Will I get to go home, Miss Harper?Copy !req
376. No, sir. Probably not.Copy !req
377. But is that worth not having
any home at all?Copy !req
378. You got Farad to go along
on right of return?Copy !req
379. - I think it's doable.
- I'm taking her next time I buy a car.Copy !req
380. That leaves us with the big one.Copy !req
381. Any chance we can just give
Jerusalem to the Swiss?Copy !req
382. So who goes in?Copy !req
383. I do.Copy !req
384. Shared sovereignty of Jerusalem
is the only realistic approach.Copy !req
385. No.Copy !req
386. If anyone led you to believe that
we could agree to anything—Copy !req
387. Mr. Chairman, do you want to see your
people oppressed for another generation?Copy !req
388. Shared custody of the city,
its holy sites—Copy !req
389. Why do you continue to support Israel?Copy !req
390. Hatred of America grows because of
this. Not just in the Muslim countries.Copy !req
391. I've done more to support
the Palestinian cause . . .Copy !req
392. . . . than anyone who's sat in my chair.Copy !req
393. Al-Haram al-Sharif,
the Dome of the Rock . . .Copy !req
394. . . . stands on the site where
the prophet Muhammad landed . . .Copy !req
395. . . .in his journey from
Mecca to Jerusalem.Copy !req
396. Mr. Chairman, there isn't
a single member of your delegation . . .Copy !req
397. . . . who doesn't think turning down the
U.N. offer of a Palestinian homeland . . .Copy !req
398. . . .in 1947 was lunacy.
A colossal mistake.Copy !req
399. Please. Do not make
the same mistake today.Copy !req
400. He's not gonna do it. Farad's elevated
being a victim into an art form.Copy !req
401. - What?
- Nothing.Copy !req
402. Come on. You're not starting
to buy what he's selling too?Copy !req
403. - He's a terrorist.
- With some legitimate grievances.Copy !req
404. - Please.
- What, now you're Jewish?Copy !req
405. - Don't remember seeing you at temple.
- 1938.Copy !req
406. Millions of men, women and children
running for their lives . . .Copy !req
407. . . . seeking refuge in any country
that would take them.Copy !req
408. Nobody would, including America.Copy !req
409. So they settle in a region that still
believes in stonings and harems?Copy !req
410. Palestinians are the Jews
of the Arab world.Copy !req
411. Even with the bombs, Israel is
the one place it's okay to be Jewish.Copy !req
412. - And here.
- German Jews in the '20s . . .Copy !req
413. - . . . were mighty comfortable.
- This isn't Germany.Copy !req
414. - This is America.
- Home of the KKK.Copy !req
415. Where you and I work to make
sure the Justice Department . . .Copy !req
416. . . . rips their Jew-hating hoods off.Copy !req
417. Bartlet got Farad.Copy !req
418. The general principle
would be that Arab areas . . .Copy !req
419. . . . are Palestinian
and Jewish areas are Israeli.Copy !req
420. Israeli sovereignty
over the Western Wall . . .Copy !req
421. . . . Palestinian sovereignty
over the Haram.Copy !req
422. There would have to be a commitment
from both parties not to excavate . . .Copy !req
423. . . . under the Haram
or behind the Wall, of course.Copy !req
424. You have kept us here for five days . . .Copy !req
425. . . . negotiating, cajoling us into things
we didn't want to do.Copy !req
426. But we have tried, struggled,
to find a common ground . . .Copy !req
427. . . . because we value your friendship
and that of the United States.Copy !req
428. But . . .Copy !req
429. . . .I have taken a solemn oath . . .Copy !req
430. . . . before God and my people
not to give up Jerusalem.Copy !req
431. I told you that on the first day.
I told you.Copy !req
432. And yet you continued to talk and
to talk. You have not been listening.Copy !req
433. Mr. President, my . . . .Copy !req
434. My right eye will fall out . . .Copy !req
435. . . .my right arm will fall off . . .Copy !req
436. . . . before I ever sign a document
giving up Jerusalem!Copy !req
437. Mr. Prime Minister, please listen.Copy !req
438. No, there have been
enough words, Mr. President.Copy !req
439. We are going home.Copy !req
440. Thank you.Copy !req
441. No, no, no.
They're not gonna go for it.Copy !req
442. - They might.
- They won't.Copy !req
443. We go to Mukarat . . .Copy !req
444. . . . convince him to take something less
than sovereignty . . .Copy !req
445. . . . over the Arab sections of the city.Copy !req
446. - Something less, like what?
- I don't know.Copy !req
447. Some sort of custodial arrangement.Copy !req
448. How about a floral arrangement?
"Best wishes for the 93rd intifada. "Copy !req
449. - State put off the Israelis' departure.
- What'd they tell them?Copy !req
450. That the state police needed
10 hours to secure the route.Copy !req
451. Call C.J. Tell her there'll be
an announcement in the morning.Copy !req
452. Have we started working
on a statement yet?Copy !req
453. "A cycle that cannot be broken
overnight. A step toward . . . . "Copy !req
454. Insert your favorite platitude here.Copy !req
455. There's always "regional calamity. "Copy !req
456. All right, everyone. Let's all
get a good night's sleep.Copy !req
457. - Thank you, Mr. President.
- Good night.Copy !req
458. I'll have C.J. work
on some postmortems . . .Copy !req
459. . . . get our side of the story out.Copy !req
460. Maybe a one-on-one
with Time or Newsweek?Copy !req
461. They weren't ready.Copy !req
462. Good night, Mr. President.Copy !req
463. Cell phone service sucks up here.Copy !req
464. Yeah, not many good spots.
This is usually one of them.Copy !req
465. Who are you trying to call
at 2 in the morning?Copy !req
466. Someone you hate, I hope.Copy !req
467. It's Germany. It's morning
over there already.Copy !req
468. - Your assistant doing better?
- She may fly back on Wednesday.Copy !req
469. It's a search for two freedoms.Copy !req
470. For Israel, the freedom from terror. For
the Palestinians, the freedom from Israel.Copy !req
471. That's what Efraim Nachum called it.Copy !req
472. His book on
the Six-Day War is pretty . . . .Copy !req
473. What? Boring?Copy !req
474. Overwritten?Copy !req
475. Find Toby and Will.
I'll meet you at Aspen.Copy !req
476. - What?
- Get Toby and Will!Copy !req
477. After the Six-Day War, Israelis offered
to give the U.N. diplomatic status . . .Copy !req
478. - . . .in the holy sites in Jerusalem.
- So?Copy !req
479. If they were willing to do it in '67,
why not now?Copy !req
480. They give the Muslim holy sites
the status of diplomatic missions.Copy !req
481. Israelis can keep sovereignty.Copy !req
482. They can't enter without permission
from the Palestinians.Copy !req
483. The Palestinians would have a state that
was inviolable. Like a foreign embassy.Copy !req
484. Palestinians will love it. It gives them
status over the Haram . . .Copy !req
485. . . . that the Saudis have over sites
like Mecca and Medina.Copy !req
486. There's only one catch.Copy !req
487. When the Israelis offered it the
first time, they wanted peacekeepers.Copy !req
488. In Jerusalem and
throughout the West Bank.Copy !req
489. The U.N. will give peacekeepers
if it'll solve the crisis.Copy !req
490. It can't be the U.N. U.N. peacekeepers
have no credibility with the Israelis.Copy !req
491. They let Egypt attack Israel through
the Sinai in '67. It would have to be us.Copy !req
492. - How many troops?
- The Israelis have 20,000 . . .Copy !req
493. - . . .in the West Bank and Gaza.
- The Europeans will pitch in 10 percent.Copy !req
494. Eighteen thousand American troops
patrolling the PLO's back yard?Copy !req
495. Where the hell is Leo?Copy !req
496. How are the other Arab nations
gonna feel about this?Copy !req
497. Jordan will put up with new neighbors.Copy !req
498. It'll give him peace
in his own back yard.Copy !req
499. Folks in the West Bank are gonna roll
out the welcome mat for GI Joe . . .Copy !req
500. . . . when he climbs out of his humvee
in Ramallah?Copy !req
501. If we're gonna stay up, I'm gonna
order coffee and get dressed.Copy !req
502. Is this really our job?Copy !req
503. - Sending U.S. teens into that breach?
- What are we talking about?Copy !req
504. An American peacekeeping force
in the Territories.Copy !req
505. And we think that's a good idea?Copy !req
506. Some of us do.Copy !req
507. Palestinians want Israelis out. Israelis
don't want Palestinians there alone.Copy !req
508. They need an outside force
to ensure a smooth transition.Copy !req
509. - Congress won't authorize that.
- They asked for a show of force.Copy !req
510. We'd throw ourselves into
a conflict we don't understand.Copy !req
511. Give religious fanatics
more to scream about . . .Copy !req
512. . . . not to mention political capital,
economic costs.Copy !req
513. It shouldn't be our job,
but no one else can do it.Copy !req
514. Could I speak to you privately
for a moment?Copy !req
515. Fixed positions won't work.Copy !req
516. I can't support this decision.Copy !req
517. For a short period,
we may be welcome.Copy !req
518. But what happens when we have to
declare martial law, enforce curfews?Copy !req
519. Once they establish a rule of law and
their economy settles, they'll be fine.Copy !req
520. This isn't a romp in the desert.Copy !req
521. You're committing American lives to
something that may go on for decades.Copy !req
522. How are we not involved now?Copy !req
523. - We can't keep having this argument.
- No, sir, we can't.Copy !req
524. My counsel is no longer of use
to you. Perhaps it's time—Copy !req
525. If I disagree with your advice,
you have to threaten me?Copy !req
526. This is your own League of Nations . . .Copy !req
527. . . . and it'll ruin you
like it ruined Wilson.Copy !req
528. Okay.Copy !req
529. I'll need your successor in place
before you leave.Copy !req
530. - I'll get you some names.
- Yeah.Copy !req
531. Is everything all right?Copy !req
532. Yeah.Copy !req
533. He's still gonna do it?Copy !req
534. You should get back in there.
Find out what the president needs—Copy !req
535. You sure you're okay?Copy !req
536. I just need some air.Copy !req
537. Go.Copy !req
538. Go.Copy !req
539. - Just a second. Zahavy?
- Thank you.Copy !req
540. - Good morning, Mr. Prime Minister.
- Mr. President.Copy !req
541. - Thank you for seeing me.
- Of course.Copy !req
542. Can we take a walk?Copy !req
543. Eli, I had another thought last night.Copy !req
544. The difficulty with Jerusalem . . .Copy !req
545. . . .is finding a way to ensure
your continued sovereignty.Copy !req
546. Good morning, everybody.
If you could settle down, please.Copy !req
547. I'm pleased to announce
that this afternoon at 2:00 . . .Copy !req
548. . . .Prime Minister Zahavy, Chairman
Farad and President Bartlet . . .Copy !req
549. . . . will hold a joint press conference
in the Rose Garden . . .Copy !req
550. . . .to describe a tentative accord that's
been reached between the parties.Copy !req
551. Congress won't approve it.Copy !req
552. They don't have to.
We're not declaring war.Copy !req
553. We're not even trying to build one
of those aquatic history museums.Copy !req
554. - Still have to fund it.
- Never get that far.Copy !req
555. Farad will find some way to trip over
his shoes before we get to resole them.Copy !req
556. - No roundtrip on Marine One?
- Yeah. What a shame.Copy !req
557. You talk to Leo this morning?Copy !req
558. I couldn't find him.
Must have headed back early.Copy !req
559. Any idea how he wants
us to handle this?Copy !req
560. No. I'll try calling him.Copy !req
