Abbas needs to call an election, the New leaders must take up armed resistance and take a stand, otherwise all is lost

An excellent interview -- very informative.  Professor Noura Erakat is clearly very knowledgeable on this topic --both the history and the ideological manipulation that has gone on for decades.  But she lost about 25% of her credibility with me when she went off on climate change and warned that we were all about to drown.  I still think of her as very knowledgeable, but I also see that she is a bit of an ideologue.

great episode agree completely with profrssor Erakat

The idea that there exists an ongoing effort to achieve a “two-state solution” in Israel and Palestine - often referred to as The Middle East Peace Process™ - is uniformly taken for granted by American media. This "two-state solution" is always at different stages of viability, yet never quite works out. Presidents fail to achieve it; Palestinian violence makes it "more difficult"; Israeli settlements are "unhelpful" to it.

But how honest is this effort? How are nonstop obituaries for a phantom "process" helping to maintain the status quo, or worse? How much does this infinitely regressive effort deliberately mask an ongoing and active policy of ethnic cleansing by the Israelis in the West Bank and Gaza? 

In Part I of this two-part episode, we discuss this "two-state" racket with Professor Noura Erakat.
