Abdul El-Sayed on Palestine:
We've been told by every American president that we believe in a two-state solution, but nobody ever asked me, "Does Palestine have a right to exist?"
Israel exists, but Palestine doesn't, except for we're sending our tax dollars to aid, arm, and abet Israeli leadership right now that wants to foreclose on the possibility of a Palestinian state at all.
And so we need to get to a point where Jewish Israeli kids and Palestinian kids no longer have to fear what happens to them.
And the only way you do that is to create a system by which you enable both of these communities to come together to negotiate how this ought to look like.
I just think we have to have a conversation that doesn't start with the question of states. It starts with a question of self-determination, and then we enable people to make those decisions about how that ought to look like in the long term.
