Delusions
- “Hamas doesn’t represent Palestinians”
- Hamas emerged from the idea of Israel’s destruction
- Projected on them, our vision; We thought like Zionism, all the Palestinians wanted was to build a state and if free to do so, there will be peace
- Denying peace offers; walked away. Followed with brutal violence
- What do Palestinians want?
- They were clear.
- Jews are not a people
- No connection to land of Israel
- No right to self-determination
- The problem is Israel’s existence
- Ernest Bevin quote ““His Majesty’s Government have thus been faced with an irreconcilable conflict of principles … For the Jews the essential point of principle is the creation of a sovereign Jewish State. For the Arabs, the essential point of principle is to resist to the last the establishment of Jewish sovereignty in any part of Palestine””
- 1948 is still an open case and they can still win it.
- Westplaining; Westerns will explain Palestinian intentions away even when they say it clearly
- They were clear.
- It’s not about the economic conditions; Palestinians living well won’t stop their desire to destroy Israel
- “Hamas doesn’t represent Palestinians”
-
Need a radical vision like it took to uproot Japan and Germany and transform it.
