And you hear a lot, well, look how many Muslim nations there are, they'll say.

And we want one Jewish nation, and now they're trying to take that away from us.

I also think, you know, never underestimate people's ability to just go along with whatever's happening, right?

You know, Milgram's famous experiments on authority, where he found that people were willing to inflict electric shocks on strangers if someone above them was saying, don't worry, I'm in charge and you have to do this.

You have to remember, in the West Bank, there's several constituencies.

Apart from the 3 million Palestinians who live there and have lived there for generations, you have 700,000 settlers thereabout, of whom most of them would consider themselves non-ideological.

They're living in relatively suburban-style homes in settlements that are not ostensibly like stockades.

They would look maybe like a

a suburban community in the Midwest somewhere, or in the West, in Phoenix, Arizona.

And they're just looking for cheap housing.

And people tune out.

They tune out what they don't see.

get a house, a lot of them are from abroad.

They might have come in and found out that they've come in from maybe Russia or America and they're getting cheap housing and various benefits have been incentivized.

And there's this extraordinary extent to which the Palestinian experience is made to be invisible.

The architecture and the infrastructure of the place

is explicitly designed to make the palestinian world invisible much as prisons are here like i drove down to wandsworth at the weekend and we drove past wandsworth prison i was like it's amazing how there's trees planted so that you can see wandsworth common on one side but you can't actually see the prison and a similar thing happens in the west bank where but behind walls and and kind of

These sort of blast walls and then a series of checkpoints.

There'll be a Palestinian city that might have, you know, four or five hundred thousand people in it that you would never, if you were a settler driving on a settler road, you would never know about.

It's hard to feel compassion for something that you never see.
