This is a most basic point.

You want a path to peace, you make peace.

And the way to peace is there are two peoples in that land.

When it started, there were 90% Palestinian Arabs.

Now it's roughly half and half between Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs.

But there need to be two states, or I'm fine if there's one democratic state, but Israel doesn't want that for sure, so two states.

But there can't be one state

in which Israel rules over everybody or kills the others or expropriates the others.

That's what's not possible.

But if there is a political settlement within Israel, then there will be an end of the militancy as well.

And this is a fundamental point.

Iran does not want to live as a militant state.

I know it because I watch and I discuss for decades.

It wants to live though, not as an American satrapy.

So the idea that if we leave, Iran is just overpowering and they're going to defeat Israel and so forth.

No, they're, first of all,

First of all, Israel will not be defeated.

It has nuclear weapons.

It would use them.

Iran does not have nuclear weapons.
