    From the article:

    Israel has created a “permanent condition” for Palestinians in which “one state ruled by one group of people rules over another group of people.” They argue that it is counterproductive to continue to see Israel-Palestine through a two-state framework, given the Israeli-dominated reality that exists on the ground.

    There’s an understandable impression that can come from the coverage of the October 7 attack that Israel and Palestine had been at peace, and now suddenly they’re at war. Was the Israeli occupation peaceful for Palestinians prior to October 7?

    An expert who gets it. This article was wonderful. Certainly worth the read! Thank you for posting!

      This is the single best piece of media I have read regarding this conflict. It should be mandatory reading for every single person in the United States at a minimum.
