Sorry but having gone to school and worked in Manhattan, a listened to local media. Jews and Palestinians are like angry cats, I trust neither of them to be repesented clearly. Each hates the other and many of one would endorse killing many of the other. I am not going to asses Khalil other than to suggest that since htere are many more Jews in our area than Palestinians, I have heard lies about Palestinians for decades. In 1970 in a class in college in NYC I dared mention Palestinians and a Jewish kid yelled at me that htere are no Palestinians. The class was possible 1/3 Jewish, 1/4 Chinese. No one had the details to challenge. I did not - I was just an irish catholic kid being yelled at.
THIS is the reality on the ground for Palestinians today that Israel is responsible for:
-75yrs of ethnic cleansing
-15yrs of blockade
-Confiscation of lands
-Pogroms on towns
-Desecration of sacred sites
-Daily raids into homes.
-Constant humiliation of an entire people
-None of October 7th is unprovoked
NO American would put up with that for a week, let alone 75 years.
Search up “The Human Cost of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict“ and tell me Palestinians have no cause.
In 1946 there were 1,269,000 Arabs in Palestine, twice as many as any other people. All of those people, their children and grandchildren have rights to the land today in the same proportion – 2/3 Arab Palestinian as the Palestinian Homeland and 1/3 Jewish as Modern Israel.

The only choices for Israel:
A. An undemocratic Israel – The current status quo. US is done with that
B. An Arab majority Israel – From population growth, the end of Israel as a Jewish state
C. Or the ONLY moral and workable solution:
- The Two State Solution, with Israel:
- Pushing for it
- Supporting it
- Securing it
- Investing in it
- Ensuring its success
- Living with it proudly as a world model.
This is the only choice that will allow Modern Israel to exist at all.
If Israel does not commit to this and do it now:
- Israel's security will always be in jeopardy
- Israel will become more and more isolated
- Israel will lose support of the world, especially Europe
- More significantly, Israel will lose the support of the US, losing financial and military and political support.
Zionism created this problem, not Judaism. That realization is not Antisemitic.
Only Israel can fix it. The only answer is a successful autonomous Palestinian State that is all of the West Bank with secure access to an open Gaza.
Jews are strong enough to see that success through.
