I mean, I've made a critique. I mean, if you believe in international humanitarian law, you don't kill civilians. And I've argued this previously. I mean, I quote Iqbal Ahmed, against this enemy, this kind of means, indiscriminate use of violence, is counterproductive politically. It's also immoral, i.e. it violates moral laws. And it's also a violation of international humanitarian law.

And one would hope that both of those would be serious considerations. But it's also politically extremely unwise. And that political calculation was apparently not there, or they just didn't control things. I would argue that's morally wrong. I would argue that's a violation of international humanitarian law. I've published this. I've said this repeatedly.

But it's politically a horrific mistake, in my view, which doesn't justify or in any way mitigate the horrors that Israel inflicted 50-fold on Palestinians. thereafter. But it helped to provoke that, and it helped to justify that in the eyes of the world.

He was a student, among other things, of Judaism. We have his books, so we know what he was interested in. And he obviously knew everything about Zionism. He had followed the first and second Zionist congresses. He was apparently familiar with Herzl's book, The Jewish State, Der Judenstaat, The State of the Jews, Jewish State. It depends on how you translate the German. So he writes to Herzl.

in 1899. And he said to him, of course, you have a certain right to Palestine. We know your connection. We're cousins. It was a very friendly letter. We understand the persecution that you're subject to. I mean, he'd lived in Vienna. Vienna had for a very long time this horrific anti-Semitic mayor, Karl Leuger. Horrific man.

One of the things that Herzl personally was responding to was the anti-Semitism of Austria itself. And he knew all about that. He'd lived there. He'd taught there. And he said, but What you're trying to do in Palestine is impossible. It causes all these problems. There's a population here that will not be supplanted.

I'm paraphrasing from his letter to Herzl, which he sent via the French chief rabbi, whom he apparently knew. And he said, for the sake of God, leave Palestine alone. Talking, in other words, about all the problems that we've seen. Meaning what? Don't come. Oriental Jewish communities, Mizrahi communities for the Palestinians and for the Zionist project.
