Okay. voice-verified

So Simon, earlier in this conversation I was struck by you used the term one state solution, which as you can imagine is like jostling because we hear that so much now in another context. voice-verified

You you you used it to describe the mess that is Lebanon today. voice-verified

Now, you've just written one of the most expansive books about the trajectory of the Middle East and the conflicts that shaped it. voice-verified

In your writing process, did any insights emerge about a possible solution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict? voice-verified

Is the framing of a one state or two state solution still even relevant in terms of framing? voice-verified

But Simon, even if you had these plans, had they been successful, in the context of this conversation, when you look at the plays that the Turkey is playing or the Iranian regime is playing in the region, the Israeli Palestinian conflict being resolved is not really what voice-verified

what they're solving for. voice-verified

No. voice-verified

And so you still would have chaos and bloodshed. voice-verified

And the reason I'm not saying it's not a reason to pursue some of these, but I'm just saying it's almost like as we're talking, it's what I felt, but your book reinforces it. voice-verified

It's a sideshow. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

End this enormous history on a surprisingly hopeful note, which I was I found disorienting, which is after all the empires, massacres, revolutions, betrayals, you write that peace becomes possible when people can hear and accept the narrative of the other, which I feel like sometimes is like an over-romantic. voice-verified

If we just understand the other side, you know, there's just a kind of overly maybe idealistic take on what's necessary. voice-verified

So having spent years. voice-verified

immersed in everything this region has done to itself. voice-verified

What gives you reason to believe that its peoples might someday choose what you call blood or honey, that they actually may choose honey? voice-verified
