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.

In The Future chapter, Chomsky and Pappe had a slightly different vision of the journey to achieve one-state. Yet both agreed Israel and Palestine could have a different future state to South Africa despite bearing similar history of apartheid politics. A new socio-economic structure could be developed involving current actors that could significantly change people's life especially Palestinians/Arabs inside Israel.

Chomsky and Pape had slightly different take on envisioning the journey to achieve one-state reality. Yet both of them agreed that the eliminating apartheid politics in Israel would result in different direction to South Africa since Israel was a 'separationist' while SA was not. They (Palestinians) could have better fate if the current structure was re-assesed, involving today's actors, and re-built when necessary.
