You know, this was something that was led by, let's say, the Israeli center-left, the liberal community in Israel. Many of them live in Tel Aviv. And I would attend those protests because I thought they were important.

But one word that was missing there, because people were chanting democracy and democracy, that was missing from the mainstream side of this protest was occupation, was Palestinians, was a political solution. And I think that for far too long, The Israeli liberal side has sort of allowed, not only allowed, but had contributed for things that were happening in the occupied West Bank and in Gaza.

And there is a contradiction here that we are seeing today. I mean, things are related. Many people on the left have warned for many, many years that, you know, what is happening to the Palestinians will eventually seep through into the Israeli society. And of course, like the Israeli right is getting stronger. And then the oppression of Palestinians is getting bigger.

But there is this loop that we are seeing where it's like a win-win for those who do not want a political solution. And I think it's really important to understand that... It's not some binary thing. It's not like either the Palestinians win or the Israelis win.

And we will try to work to have an alternative because we really need this. We need this like water, really. There will be no other way forward if there is no political horizon.
