In Israel, there’s a lot of support for settlements, and this is why there have been right-wing governments for so many years. The world, especially the United States, thinks there is an option for a Palestinian state, and, if we continue to build communities, then we block the option for a Palestinian state. We want to close the option for a Palestinian state, and the world wants to leave the option open. It’s a very simple thing to understand.

Q:So rights are not some sort of universal thing that every person has. They’re something that you can win or lose.

A:That’s right.

These people look at the Holocaust and think “Hmm. Maybe we could do that to Arabs…”

Meanwhile every Palestinian I’ve heard interviewed, even after being constantly attacked by Israel, wants to live in peace with all faiths and understands their fight isn’t with Judaism but with a European colonial project of Zionism.
