There aren't going to be Islamic jihadists.
There aren't going to be Hamasniks.
There's not going to be another October 7th style attack.

better security protocols and have a much more capable intelligence apparatus to ensure that that's not going to happen.
But the idea that this strip of territory is going to be built into something approaching, you know, what the UAE is or what Saudi Arabia is, I just think is utter fantasy.
And, you know, it's true that there is some Palestinian enfranchisement,
baked into this proposal, this peace plan.
But that presupposes that the Israelis are going to be on board for that.
And when has Benjamin Netanyahu ever been on board with Palestinian statehood?
And again, I've said this before on your show, we like to pretend that the Israeli government led by Netanyahu is the one that's completely against the idea of living side by side and coexistence.
No, but I think since October 7th, the Israeli electorate as a whole
has been very coarsened and turned against the idea of sharing the neighborhood with Palestinians because they think October 7th would just happen again.

You've got Aliyah from Azerbaijan.
