Well, if you asked me, since Gaza is one of the densest places on earth, it needs a good chunk.

It needs a nice big chunk. Of Sinai. That's what it actually needs. Okay, I don't even want to go there. It needs a nice big chunk, but I have to accept international law says no. International law is irrelevant. Now, Benjamin says, I think the Israeli offer was reasonable. And he's a reasonable guy. You know that. Okay, I know I'm going to go there. I've debated him, and partly I agree with you.

But who decides what's reasonable? I think the international community in its political incarnation, the General Assembly, the Security Council, all those UN Security Council resolutions saying the settlements are illegal, annexation of East Jerusalem is null and void. and the International Court of Justice. That to me is a reasonable standard.

And by that standard, the Palestinians were asked to make concessions, which I consider unreasonable, or the international community considers unreasonable.

Half a million people are- Jerusalem, not settlements. I know that, but that's not what the law. The law calls it null and void.

Muin has an interesting point. I know you want to forget it, just like you want to forget the genocide charge. I know you want to forget that.

But here's the problem, and it's exactly the problem that Muin just brought up. Now, I read carefully your book, One State, Two States. With all due respect, absolutely a disgrace. Coming from you, coming from you. Most reviewers didn't agree with you. Yeah. Coming from you was like you wrote it in your sleep. It's nothing compared to what you wrote before. I don't know why you did it.

In my opinion, you ruined your reputation. Not totally, but you undermined it with that book. But let's get to the issue that Muin wrote. Here's what you said. You said formally, you said, yes, it's true. The Palestinians recognize Israel. But then you said viscerally in their hearts, they didn't really recognize Israel.
