Iran refuses to give up its nuclear program, causing tension between Israeli and American leaders. Israel says a military strike is an option, while the U.S. wants to see diplomacy first. Charlie D'Agata reports.
This is the first I heard of the organization. New America Foundation, who are they? According to this video, they may lean to the left along Shalom Achshav/Peace Now.
My perception from the New America Foundation video, is that the lawyer is caught up with the hate that was fostered ie the word Zionist and presenting himself as a settlementologist.
Peace Now worked hard over the years with their propaganda, placing ads and marketting and along the way, the hate surfaced into others. The words settlers, settlements, Zionism were defaced and the organization got a following to their ideology. I often wondered if Shalom Achshav/Peace Now is a "Jewish" front for Iran and its radicals and if the founders were really Jewish or just posing as Jews as the Arabs in Israel sometimes do. An added possibility would be that some may have converted to Islam.

The Waqf Islamic Trust is digging a trench for electric infrastructure on the sacred Temple Mount. As in 1999, it is doing so without proper archeological supervision, and is potentially destroying priceless archeological artifacts. Infolive.tv went up to the Mount to try and film beneath the surface of the contested site, but was barred from doing so by the Waqf. Meanwhile, a group of Israeli archeologists has taken upon itself the task of sifting and sorting through the rubble discarded by the Waqf in 1999, during the renovations of the underground caverns of the Temple Mount (Light instrumental background music)
