I think he's trying to secure his seat in office. He knows his days are numbered. This is not about Israel. This isn't about the hostages for him. This isn't about anything but Benjamin Netanyahu. He is a narcissist. He's a tyrant. He is despised around the world, and I think even amongst Israelis. I think there's a deep hatred for him.
I think the hostages' families know that he doesn't care about the families or about the hostages, but he's driving a political agenda that doesn't care about people. not Palestinian people or otherwise. However, the problem of the occupation is not Benjamin Netanyahu. The problem of the occupation is the occupation.

Yair Lapid was the progressive moderate alternative, and he drove just as bigoted of an agenda against the Palestinian people as possible. So to the Palestinian that's living in Gaza or the Palestinian in the West Bank, Whoever's sitting in that seat has meant the exact same thing to them. But Benjamin Netanyahu is certainly, I think, the loudest bigot that we have seen in that seat.

I think Israel has a responsibility to protect those that it occupies. I think you have to ask that question differently. Noura Arakat wrote a tremendous article on this from a legal perspective. When you talk about Israel defending itself, Israel is bound to occupation law. This is the problem all along.

When John Kerry said, of course, the US is great sometimes at issuing inconsequential statements that Israel has to choose whether or not it wants to be a Jewish or a democratic state, be a Jewish or a democratic state, but it can't be both.

israel wants to occupy and deny and at the same time not be held to the standards of being an occupier but be treated as if it's some normal state those borders were drawn across occupied land and have been expanding into palestinian territory and people have been thrown out of their homes systematically and transgressed upon even to the in the places that they fled to which is gaza right

So when you talk about Israel having a right to defend itself, you should be talking about Israel's duty to protect everyone under its occupation. Either lift the occupation or protect everyone under your occupation. Where are your borders, right? What is your responsibility? Who are you protecting? And I think that it speaks to the fact that Israeli policy considers Palestinians to be animals.

They say as much and they do as much. I've spoken about James Baldwin, and James Baldwin talked about this pious silence surrounding Israel that we're supposed to pretend like it's just another state and ignore how it came into being and what it functions as. And I think that pious silence has to be broken.
