Crazy footage.

I’m not so sure. (And maybe because I’ve been seeking out original work on this subject for a while.) But it seems to me he could have done any number of things to elevate Palestinian writers that isn’t writing his own newly developed perspective on it.

And so the question is, why do we have a steady procession of authors with decreasing levels of experience with the issue writing book after book simplifying the problem further and further? And why shouldn’t an author seek to actually add something to the conversation?

Nope. I’ve really liked his work that I’ve read. I have an issue with people pretending this is the simplest problem in the world when it very clearly isn’t. Btw, that it isn’t simple doesn’t mean simple statements—like“the occupation is bad”—aren’t true. 10 days is not enough.

And you dismantle the real philosophical underpinning of the occupation.

Palestinian fears arise from the possibility of an army killing them, which calls for protection from the Israeli army. So the goal needs to be focused on guaranteeing both peoples have their fundamental security needs met without threatening the security of the other. Satisfy that conundrum…

There won’t be any urge from Israelis—as the more powerful party—to change the situation. The problem there is that Palestinians also fundamentally need security. And while Israeli fears arise from the possibility of individual Palestinians killing them, which calls for protection by an army…

Regarding tactics, despite Netanyahu’s (and all his imitators’) cynical exploitation of Israelis’ fears, Israelis need security. The occupation is a poor way to deliver that (unless your goal is also building settlements), so unless there is a replacement that satisfies Israelis’ need for security…
