#391 โ€“ Mohammed El-Kurd: Palestine

Does that mean Hamas is equipped to govern Gaza? I don't think so. Does that mean that people around Palestine necessarily want to live under... Hamas rule. In 2006, Hamas was democratically elected. I don't know if that's still the case today. There's a lot to be said, but neither of these entities have any real power in perpetuating.

The only body that has access, that can flip the switch on all of this equation is Israelis. They're the ones who are keeping people in a cage. They're the ones who are wrapping the West Bank with a wall. Everything else to me is just secondary, regardless of what I think personally of any of those people.

#391 โ€“ Mohammed El-Kurd: Palestine

Personally for me, the world I envision, not just Palestine, the world I envision is a world that goes beyond states. That goes beyond this framing of power, this hierarchy in which some people rule over other people. This whole idea of nation states, be it Israel or any other nation states, it's futile. It's not good. It's exclusive. I think that we can achieve a better world than that.

Yeah, I'm not saying I have all the answers or a PowerPoint in my pocket with the instructions, but I'm saying the world I'd like to live in is one that transcends borders, is one that does not necessitate militaries, that doesn't necessitate all of these prisons, all of these walls, all of these racist laws.

I do think both of these things are truly intrinsic to human beings. But I also do think there is a way to move beyond them. I'm not saying I have the answers.
