embassy to the rightful home in jerusalem. [applause] and i made sure to take every member of congress to the embassy for a picture. [applause] as we note previous president talked about it but this president acted until the embassy moved, some predicted the move would lead to chaos, they were wrong. the president recently announced the middle east peace plan of another example of her unwavering commitment. pastor ministrations have shied away from the complex issue. president trump reamed in, his plan offers a pathway to a brighter future, it's a significant step toward the universally desired goal of peace and stability on just and fair terms. it should be seriously considered by everyone, then there's the un armed embargo in iran which expires on the 47th anniversary of the october work, if that happens the consequences would be steep, is the interest of preventing more violence and it must be extended, once it is america and all peaceful nations must redouble our efforts to ensure is vigorously enforced.

[cheering and applause] in january it was my great honor, on the behalf of the american people, to address a ceremony in jerusalem marking the 75th anniversary of the liberation. we paid tribute along with more than 50 countries to the 6 million jews who died in the holocaust and what president trump rightly called the dark stain on human history. the greatest evil ever perpetrated by man against man in the long catalog of human crime. just as we honor the dead, we also honor the faith and resilience of the jewish people. to just three years after walking in the valley of the shadow of death rows up from those ashes to reclaim a jewish future and rebuild a jewish state.

they released the data base of companies doing business in east jerusalem and israeli settlements in the west bank. that release from the united nations only serves to facilitate the b.d.s. movement and delegitimizes israel. i remember reading it after its release. how saad. this is an organization that was set to insure that no people ever again faced horrors like the jews faced during the holocaust ands the now anti-semitic.

guatemala, honduras, now rue, have recognized jerusalem as the capital,. look to at the budding trend of the middle east, israel's golf majors, nations are warming to her into that is an 18 oman received president yahoo for a visit. that very same year, they uae played the israeli national anthem at a judo tournament hosted in abu dhabi not once but twice. last year are brady friends allowed israeli journalists to visit for the first time since 1994. saudi crown prince said quote i belief, i believe the palestinians israelis have the right to have their own land. and i remember being in that room when owe a bass others from oman, iranian, and the uae availing the vision for peace with trump and yahoo with a boast promised remarks. now these are just small examples, just a few glimpses of harmony and they're still much more progress to be made. i think these anecdotes suggest a growing attitude, a real shift, a shift among some of israel's neighbors, the more the middle east braces israel the brighter its future will be. that is true for the entire region.

in jerusalem, any excavation is going to be both amazing and controversial at the same time. but, for followers of three of the world's major religions, curious tourists, and lovers of history alike, the fact is this city will always be a draw. rajan, taking a stroll down pilgrimage road. let's switch continents now to florida, in the united states. it has been a popular destination for years. it is filled with flashy attractions like universal studios, disney world, and epcot. if you're used to a more basic way of life, the state still has plenty to offer, as mike found out when he dropped in on the gentle community of pinecraft. since starting as a tourist residence in the 19205, this has become a holiday hotspot for the amish. we have a mural here depicting everyday amish life, and a friendly man welcoming us. maybe we can ride the horse. the amish are christians that hold onto a simple way of life. they are best known for their regimented, plain clothes, worn for reasons of humility and modesty. they also reject most forms of modern technology, some even avoiding electric

great great uncle who was at that time the mayor of jerusalem. the letter was to the founder of the zionist movement, theodore hurt so cautioning him respectfully about the folly of embarking on a jewish nation within an already inhabited land and urging her soul to leave palestine alone. of course that didn'thappen . rasheed goes on to focus on half a dozen or so turning point in the struggle over palestine from the 1917's through the declaration of the state of israel in 19 47, the six-day war of 1967, the invasion of lebanon in 1982, the start of palestinian uprisings in 1987 all the way up to the fading prospect of statehood and the intense rivalry between the plo and hamas. rasheed writes vividly, intelligently and with conviction that the end of his book he offers some thoughts on a way forward. his as one reviewer put it, you can disagree with him but you cannot afford to miss the opportunity of arguing with him. and no doubt as some of you in this room this evening have a different perspective on the history of the conflict and rashid has
