keep reiterating this point, but at this point I am quite exhausted by how exceptional Palestine and Palestinian resistance is when the world tells me time and time again that it doesn't have a problem with violence, it just has a problem with who does that violence.

#391 โ€“ Mohammed El-Kurd: Palestine

I think governments, wherever, globally, are different from people. No government is a true reflection of its people. I think this is even true in the case of Arab countries that normalize with Israel. In many of the cases, they're unelected governments. I think the Palestinian Authority continues to fail. I think they are subcontractors of the Israeli regime through their security coordination.

And also, I'd like to use this as an opportunity to comment a little bit on the analogy thing, not to stray away from the question, but you know, the Palestinian Authority two years ago killed an opposition activist named Nizar Banat. It was a horrendous crime. And I was in Ramallah with the people protesting against the Palestinian Authority.

And at some point they had their batons, the Palestinian Authority police, and they beat us with it. And many of the people in the crowd were liking the Palestinian Authority to Zionism. I think people, this is what people do. when they are confronted by a great evil, they liken it to some other great evil. And this is where the Hitler analogy came from.

You know, looking at the PA's action today, it tells you a great deal about what they're interested in and what they're not interested in. And maybe, yeah, the occupation is in their best interest. And you can infer similar things looking at Hamas. But these two entities virtually have no power, even Hamas. There is the context that Hamas is permitted by international law to use armed resistance.
