Palestinians, the conflict, and the shared future.
If an independent Palestinian state does not emerge, what concrete legal and political rights should Palestinians living under continuing Israeli authority have, and what legislative steps would you support to secure those rights?
The fact that there is extremely legitimate basis for very valid and trenchant criticism of the policies of the state of Israel and its institutions, does not in any way make the dubious framing of violence against Jewish people in the diaspora as understandably (!) reactive to those policies any less morally bankrupt.
