Status Updates From On Palestine

Chomsky explains Israel's intent on Gaza which I sums up is complete suffer and destruction. They keep justifying their horrible actions even to civilians and pin the fault on Hamas despite their support for two-state solution that Israel keeps violating (Hamas has their own faults but this is not the point). Chomsky proposes the key is to cut US support for Israel (which I think the prospect is just gettin bleaker).

Chomsky elaborated US position on Israel and Palestine issues. Also the idea of Western's 'responsibility to protect' is just allowing violent intervention. West Bank and Gaza, Chomsky and Pappe noted, have been where ethnic cleansing were intensely committed, though Gaza was more challenging due to Hamas' base. Pappe pointed Israel has done incremental genocide since 1967 and they should be condemned for that.

In chapter 'Inside Israel', Ilan answered how Israeli perceived the struggle of Palestinians, what they saw as solutions, and how to change their perspectives and stop the conflict. Ilan mentioned most of Israeli saw Palestinians as violent however they lived in bubble and strong doctrine. Education of real history before 1937 and ensuring Israel pay the price are crucial to change current and future reality there.
