The recent recognitions of a Palestinian state and the October 10 ceasefire have been followed by a flurry of calls to “deradicalize” Palestinian society. The New York Times editorial board went so far as to compare this deradicalization project to the denazification of Germany after the Second World War. These calls have the situation backwards to the point of farce.

    It’s a call to examine your assumptions.

    Nope, it translated to me to “you don’t come from a background of resistance in your country, your opinions automatically don’t matter as much.”

      “maybe ham fisted, in which case I apologize”

      So now that the misunderstanding is cleared, I call you again to examine your assumptions and blind spots.
