You cannot maintain that posture.

Number two, I would want my government to intervene to prevent the inequality and injustice and violation of international law.

And in fact, when

I write about it, and when we even wrote the book, The One-State Reality, when we edited it and had the project, our aim was actually to address our public discourse just as much, meaning as Americans, we know that we play a role in what's happening there.

And so we weren't really trying, I am not personally, when I'm writing, I'm not trying to tell the Israelis and the Palestinians, you should have two states or one state.

But what I do insist on, at least from my moral point of view, or as an American, as somebody who cares in international law, that we, as the United States, not basically trying to tell them what to do, but to reject anything

that violates our basic norms, a set of basic norms, what we used to call our values, and international law.

But from the Israeli point of view, if you're looking at it down the road and you're seeing the trends are going as you have described, not just the Democrats, but also Republicans, really, there's even the interpretation among evangelicals.

It's changing.

Look at the religious discourse.

It's changing about the, in some circles, particularly among Catholics, the attack on

the very theology that is espoused by some evangelicals that embraces Israel.

There's a huge explosion of debates right now on this issue.

So that's why I think this moment is ultra dangerous.

Because if you're sitting in Netanyahu's chair,

and you are looking at this as an existential war based on his own objectives in the region, whether what's happening in Iran, what's happening in Lebanon, but also the fight in America for America's soul, for what we stand for, then existential war, everything goes.

This is his moment.

He sees Trump as the last chance.

He sees the evangelical support

as the last block of support, and he's gonna go all out.
