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.

unless they're dismantled, whether you have two states or one state or a confederation, if there is an equitable solution in which both peoples can achieve their objective of self-determination and in which everybody is treated justly and equitably. And we're so far away from that today. You have to decolonize. I'm sorry to use the term.

You have to dismantle a lot of structures, very powerful structures. You want to get anywhere towards a just, equitable resolution. A whole lot of changes have to happen. And they're not going to happen quickly, unfortunately. And those changes include within the Palestinian polity, but mainly in Israel and Israel's supporters, without which it cannot do what it does.

Well, I mean, the Palestinians are suffering a recurrence of collective trauma. as a result of the Gaza war. I mean, we all wake up every morning and we doom scroll to see how many more people were slaughtered and if anybody we know has had anything to happen to them. And then we all go to bed doing the same thing.

And they have a lot to overcome in terms of how they're going to figure out their strategy going forward. I mean, I mentioned the fact that you have a completely splintered Palestinian national movement. It almost doesn't exist. There's no real Palestinian diplomacy. There's no Palestinian public diplomacy. There's no Palestinian strategy.

There are things happening that nobody's doing anything about. in an official way. I mean, you have Palestinian civil society is active, is doing various things, but that's not something for civil society. It's something for political leadership, which the Palestinians do not have at this moment. So they have a long haul towards resuscitating their national movement.

It's not the first time this has happened. It's been shattered at least twice in the last 50, 60 years, 70 years. That's a prerequisite for anything. Where do the Palestinians, where do we want to go What is our objective and how are we gonna get there? And I don't think there's clarity on this from these two discredited movements that dominate Palestinian politics right now.
