But it is unique in having this connection to Palestine, to the Holy Land of Judaism and the Jewish people.

Yeah, there's the matter of can you succeed entirely in eliminating the native population or reducing them to subjection, which is what happens in Australasia and North America. It's not what happens in other settler colonies. It's not what happens in Algeria. It's not what happens in Kenya. It's not what happens in South Africa or in Ireland.

You're talking about partition.

Unless, heaven forbid, I don't think Israel can be eliminated. Nuclear power, one of the strongest countries on earth, it's not going anywhere, nor are the Israelis. Some may leave, but that's not going to change anything. Some Palestinians may leave, that's not going to change anything.

You have two peoples in the same place, and both of them in their imaginary see it in its entirety as their ancestral homeland. I'm not talking about reality, I'm talking about imagined communities, okay? That's how the Palestinians see it. That's how the Israelis see it. And I would argue on the one hand, you could say there are various reasons why the Palestinians may be right.

And there are some reasons you might say the Israelis are right. But anyway, that's another issue. So how do you deal with that? There are two ways. You cut the baby in half, the Solomonic situation, which is what partition supposedly was directed at doing. Or you figure out a way for these two peoples to live in some kind of binational situation.

Personally, if it were up to me, I would prefer the latter. I don't see how you can partition this country. I think though you have to go through some very painful processes to get to any resolution. that's just inequitable and sustainable. I mean, you have a colonial reality. You have a situation where one people is supreme.

You have the supremacy of the Jewish people as instantiated in a constitutional law of 2018, the Israel is the nation state of the Jewish people law. That's a law which says there's only one people that has the right of self-determination. In other words, there's one people in Palestine. So all of the structures that are related to that view have to be dismantled. You cannot have a resolution.
