    This guy says a few very sane things, and then just totally loses connection with reality.

    He’s right that there a huge risk to our while civilization, and that we need to deescalate both sides. He’s right that there will never be peace or security until Palestinians have a future.

    And then he says that the peace treaty with Saudi Arabia was a step forward: it is not. It is a deal between authoritarians to further legalize Isreal’s ethnic cleansing program.

    He says that Hamas should release the hostages without conditions. I wish they would, but that is as sensible as suggesting that they should all turn over their weapons and turn themselves in to be scheduled for execution. How is that anything other than a further embrace of the current Israeli peace plan, which is displacement, conquest, eradication? That’s not acceptable.

    The international community needs to demand that Israel afford Palestinians living under permanent occupation full civil rights as Israeli citizens (including displaced Palestinian refugees) in exchange for security measures and a staged binational reintegration.

    It’s this or continued gradual genocide.
