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