And in reality, I think the peace process has been dead for a long time.

And then since October 7th,

both Israelis and Palestinians have lost faith that it will ever happen.

I think like one fifth of Israelis in polls think there's any hope for a Palestinian state.

And that number is kind of propped up by Arab Israelis.

So, you know, meanwhile, the situation on the ground, it's the West Bank gets further annexed every week.

Gaza is now even further occupied by Israel.

So I think the critics would say,

This liberal Zionist vision of support for Israel and a two-state solution is kind of delusional in a way of just avoiding the obvious reality that Israel long ago chose to be a Jewish state and not a democracy.

So a full democracy for all people who live there.

So what's your response to that argument?

I feel like it's a straw man that we're leaning on here to make a silly argument.

Fuck Hamas.

Everyone agrees, fuck Hamas.

Isn't that a lot of hurdles to set up before the Palestinians were just like, I just want to live in peace and with self-determination.

Suddenly, Israel has to make peace with every single neighbor before they can have that opportunity.

Well, let's talk about the Netanyahu piece of this, because, look, again, I greatly dislike Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.

I have for a very long time.

I think he's corrupt.

I think he's racist.
