Hard Questions and Tough Answers with Yossi Alpher- July 25, 2011

Q. Do you see any Israeli or Middle East aspects in Friday's atrocity in Norway?

A. This was an act of calculated terrorism--violence against civilians for a political end--and not, as some of the media would have it, the act of a deranged individual.

Q. Last week, the Knesset passed a law criminalizing attempts to boycott settlements and their products. What are the ramifications for Israel in general and for the peace process in particular?

Q. If this law so obviously violates basic human rights, won't the Israel High Court of Justice strike it down?
