“So do not dare propose that ‘Israel Never Truly Wanted Peace with Palestine’. If anything, we wanted it too much. So now, it is your turn to answer the question: When did you ever truly want peace with the one Jewish state?” (my 10 min speech with English captions from the Oxford Union Debate):

שאלתם על החיבור שלי עם מפלגת המילואימניקים והכלכלית, אז פשוט מאוד - לקראת הגשת הרשימות זו נשארה המסגרת הפוליטית היחידה שהיא על-גושית, שעוסקת במה ולא במי, עם סיכוי לכוח פוליטי אמיתי, ומאפשרת לנו לקדם בתחומי המדינאות, ביטחון וכלכלה מדיניות המפרקת מבנים ותפיסות שממש לא משרתים אותנו.

The US is forcing Iran to confront the central question Kissinger once framed: Is it a state or a cause? Is it more committed to its sovereignty or to exporting the Islamic Revolution? The US proposal is for Iran to be a state. The Revolutionary Guards, as their name suggests, are committed to the Islamic Revolution. This is the core confrontation playing out. My comments in Hebrew:

"Ongoing" - One of the phrases increasingly used next to the term "Nakba" is "Ongoing" as in the recent proposal by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. Now westerners assume that the "ongoing" seeks to highlight continued suffering of Palestinian Arabs, but as with so many other phrases that serve as "dual use language" (as Eran Shayshon coined) is that the deep meaning is very different. Once it is known and understood that the real time meaning of the Nakba, as described by Constantin Zureiq as "Seven Arab states declare war in an attempt to subdue Zionism, stop impotent before it, and return on their heels" was the shameful failure to defeat the lowly Jews in war - it becomes crystal clear why it remains "ongoing": As long as Israel exists, the Arab, and especially Palestinian Arab shameful failure to dismantle Jewish sovereignty and "subdue Zionism" remains "ongoing". As long as, per Bevin's quote, the top goal of the Palestine Arabs "to resist to the last the establishment of Jewish sovereignty in any part of the land" remains unfulfilled, their definition of disaster remains "ongoing". In the updated book of The War of Return, "October Return", Dr. Adi Schwartz and I included a dictionary of sort to explore this dual use language. I share it here with you: "This becomes especially clear when analyzing the language of Palestinian identity and that of its supporters around the world. Terms such as “two states,” “justice,” “return,” and “rights” carry one meaning in dialogue between Palestinians and Westerners or Israelis—but an entirely different meaning within internal Palestinian discourse. "Take “two states,” for example. During the years of negotiations, Palestinian leaders—and many surveys—expressed support for the “two-state solution.” Israelis and Westerners reasonably assumed that this meant one state for Palestinian Arabs and one for Jews. In retrospect, we should have checked. For when Palestinians speak of “two states,” they also maintain that millions of Palestinian “refugees” have a right to settle inside Israel. The implication is that the phrase “two states” actually means a Palestinian Arab state in the West Bank and Gaza, alongside a second Arab-majority state that replaces Israel via the mass return of refugees. In effect: “this one is ours, and that one is also ours.” "To this day, no official Palestinian peace plan includes the recognition of a Jewish state on any part of the land between the river and the sea. "It is also worth examining the meaning of a word like “justice”—so frequently invoked in phrases like “a just peace,” “a just solution,” or in the names of organizations such as “Students for Justice in Palestine.” To many in the world, “justice” may simply mean that Palestinians should have a state of their own, or that Israel should not control their daily lives. That is a reasonable interpretation. But it is not the Palestinian one. "For Palestinians, there is only one concept of justice: the reversal of the injustice they associate with the creation of the State of Israel. And central to that “corrective justice” is return—which, by definition, entails the end of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people. "The same applies to words like “rights,” “liberation,” and, of course, “return.” As will become clear in the pages ahead, there is no ambiguity: “return” is the concept that embodies victory over the Jewish state and its elimination. "That is why the butcherty of October 7 was greeted with euphoria."

אחת השאלות שאני נשאלת הכי הרבה אחרי שאני מסבירה את סיבת העומק לסכסוך היא: "זהו עינת, עברתי לימין, את כבר לא בשמאל? שינית דעה?" והתשובה שלי היא שמה שאני מתארת הוא לא דעה, אלא תיאור מציאות. בעבר הנחתי, כמו רבים, שמה שעומד בינינו לבין שלום הוא הקמת מדינה ערבית פלסטינית או שליטה ערבית פלסטינית בשטחי הגדה ועזה. אבל ההנחה הזו נבדקה, מספר פעמים ובשלל דרכים, והתגלתה כמוטעית. למרבה הצער, ההנחה שכן עומדת במבחן המציאות והנתונים היא זו של ארנסט בוויין, שר החוץ הבריטי ב 1947 איבחן כי הסכסוך ״בלתי פתיר״ מפני שהיהודים רוצים מדינה והערבים, כמטרת על, רוצים שליהודים לא תהיה מדינה. (הקטע מתוך שבתרבות בירושלים לפני שבוע)

Re: Macron - I recently addressed the remarkable amnesia of France and other European nations about how they came to enjoy decades of peace (no, it was not by negotiating and empty gestures) and their bizarre determination to prevent our region from achieving a similar peace:

Call it what you will, but in the last century, every society, country, political party, and organization that saw Antizionism become its defining ideology - even as people protested they had nothing against Jews - became hostile to Jewish life and ultimately no Jews were left:

It is often conveniently ignored that the hypothesis that the only thing that stood between Israel and peace with the Palestinians was land and Palestinian statehood was tested. Repeatedly. And it failed. Spectacularly. It’s not a matter of opinion. It is empirical: (from my recent talk at Brown:

“Prestige suspends judgement”. There is a long methodical decades long process to equate Israel, Zionism and the Star of David with every evil word”. Key to it is laundering these equations through bodies that carry prestige (even when they shouldn’t) from UN to top academia.
