able to talk about it to a few more people. And it's just my obligation, I have to do it.

What gives me hope about the future of Palestine is taking a look at history and understanding that across history there has not been an injustice that lingered endlessly. Everything comes to an end. There's not necessarily a perfect resolution for everything. But nothing continues in the form that it started in the occupation and colonialism in Palestine and Zionism.

You know, a lot of what I'm saying today and what I have said in your podcast, many people would be pearl-clutching hearing me say what I say. But I always try to remind myself that during Jim Crow, during slavery, during the Holocaust, during the occupation of Algeria, during...

any point of colonialism in the African continent, people did not possess the moral clarity they possess today when they talk about these things. And all of these things were contested and controversial and in many, many, many cases legal. And today they are deplorable, condemnable, and people say never again, and they don't remember them.

I think just the unabashedness of Palestinians. We're a people who are told, and at some point we're told by the large majority of the world that we should shrink ourselves, that we should be ashamed of who we are, that we are monsters, that we are terrorists, that we are blah, blah, blah.

A lot of the time people will broadcast images of Palestinian women cheering when their sons have been killed by the Israeli forces and they will say, you know, these people glorify death and these people are eager to have sex with 70 virgins in heaven and so on and so forth.
