– On the two-state solution<\/strong><\/p>\nI don’t think it was a good idea and I don’t think it ever had a chance to succeed. You cannot have a Jewish state in an Arab country (Palestine), with half of the people not Jewish unless it is a brutal regime with racist laws, like Israel.<\/p>\n
I think the two-state solution was possible for a short time and as expected, it was killed by Israel. Israel wants all the land with no Palestinians and Israel will never compromise. That is why it failed. You cannot have an agreement if one side will not agree.<\/p>\n
-On the activities to raise awareness on the Palestinian issue and how they help the resistance<\/strong><\/p>\nHundreds of university campuses in the US hold events like “Palestine Week” etc., and thousands of students take part. This is very effective resistance and many Jewish Americans take part and support this as well.<\/p>\n
Then, there is also the BDS movement that calls for boycott divestment and sanctions against Israel.<\/p>\n
All of these are excellent forms of resistance and I support them completely. I think they will be successful in bringing justice and peace to Palestine.<\/p>\n
– His message to the Iranian people<\/strong><\/p>\nI know that Iranian people are suffering because of the sanctions and because of the threat of an Israeli attack. This is a terrible thing and I can only hope it will end soon. Israel and the US are wrong about Iran.<\/p>\n
I don’t believe that Israel will never attack Iran, because Israeli the government wants to keep the threat alive. Israel is using the “Iranian threat” as a smoke screen so people will not talk about Israeli crimes in Palestine.<\/p>\n
I wish Iranian people well. If I had the chance I would gladly visit Iran, I know it is a beautiful country with a rich history and culture and I would love to see it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
