#4. SS: There are Israeli citizens who publicly complain that Israel is an apartheid state. Are there enough Jews in Israel who recognize the occupation and apartheid to make a difference in the government's policy?
FH: We have witnessed the internal contradictions within Israeli society when it comes to the new far-right government elected by Israeli voters.
There's an old saying: you get the government you deserve.
They complain about judicial reforms and hundreds of thousands have come onto the streets, yet they attacked some activists who had the temerity to fly Palestinian flags at these protests.
Israeli society cares nothing for dead, injured, maimed, and imprisoned Palestinians.
They are beneath contempt as quasi-fascist ideological fundamentalists.
#5. SS: There are serious differences among the various political factions in Palestine. In your view, is there any compromise among the groups, and can it help to find a solution for the Palestinian people?
FH: Scrap the Palestinian Authority; they are nothing short of corrupt politicians collaborating on the demise of their own people, their culture, and their future for money, power, prestige, and the illusion of government.
All groups must embrace the choice of resistance. End division in the interests of self-preservation and strike out against the occupation before it's too late.
