I agree with you about Israel/Palestine as you know.
I think this is interesting, as it is a well-known Jew trying to understand the Palestinian view and giving an overview of the whole seemingly unsolvable situation.
It seems to me that Netanyahu and his ilk are very much wedded to the Old Testament with its eye for an eye philosophy . They seem quite unable to make even a tiny step towards the NT with its message of Understanding and Compassion toward “the other”.
Without this ability to, at least trying to understand the other sides, there can never be any resolution, it seems to me.
This conversation is titled “Roots run Deep” so we can try to understand the history of both sides and, more importantly, give each our respect and human, empathy which is so much more important than knowing the objective facts, (although they are important too of course.)
Hope you find Gabor Mate interesting (He is a medical Doctor, a Psychiatrist and an expert on individual and collective Trauma ) - and a survivor of the Nazi camps as a very small child.....soo he has the credentials !
With love
Jude
