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.

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.

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.
