The clip is linked. He's talking about wanting a Palestinian state that's pro Israel and pro Israeli flourishing.
I guess he means a state that's ok with illegal settlements and apartheid treatment.
Maybe he means one that'll back up Israel's imperialist and aggressive wars in the region.
Why would he mean that?
I think it's more likely that he's idealizing a future where Israel and Palestine forget their history and trauma and suddenly become best buddies who root for each other's success because no one is interested in inflicting any more pain on the other. This is a pointless exercise in imagination but it's probably what he's going for with this statement.
It was pointless to imagine France and England would ever put aside their differences... until they did. It was pointless to imagine France and Germany putting aside their differences... until they did. I remember when I was young people said The Troubles would never end. I was told the war in Yugoslavia would go on forever.
People can put aside their differences. There is a Palestinian movement in Gaza that wants peace. Israel in the past has tried to make land for peace deals, but guys like Yasser Arafat fucked it up.
There is a willingness for peace on both sides, it's just the leadership needs to change.
You might be reading too much into what I wrote. Saying it’s a pointless discourse is not the same as saying that I believe a peaceful resolution is forever impossible.
