And I think that narrative

has really grown subconsciously, even for people who are not religious, in a way that it really dominates the thinking and in a visible way in the West Bank.

And that's why a lot of people look away.

They don't agree with the crazies who are killing or doing something and they want to pretend it doesn't exist, but they're not entirely uncomfortable with the outcome.

No, we didn't say we don't agree.

Actually, we put it on a scale.

On the one end, you have citizens who do have civil rights and can vote and get elected.

They're discriminated against in a very real way, structurally and in practice, for sure.

But then on the other hand, you have these Gaza and the West Bank on the other end of the spectrum.

So the reality is that if the chief of police is supremacist,

who thinks a Jewish life is more valuable than Arab life.

It's not about citizenship.

It's about ethnicity.

It's about religion.

And there are fears already.

You could see the tension.

It's hard to also decouple, particularly in times of war and crisis.

But what happens is that, let's say you're in a factory together, an Israeli citizen who is Jewish and Israeli citizen who is an Arab, and they're working together.

And they post on social media.

And the Palestinian is saying, this is genocide, what's happening, what the Israelis are doing.
