His point - albeit made in a facetious manner - is that those rockets, despite all the media hysteria around them, are miserably ineffectual. The Guardian newspaper has referred to them as "useless fireworks"

That's why so few Israeli civilians died in the previous few "conflicts" (massacres) in Gaza. Contrast this to the highly effective, highly precise weapons of war that the IDF uses against the population of Gaza.

You have repeatedly criticized supporters of the so-called 'one state solution' because their proposal has no basis in international law and can therefore, in your words, "not reach a broad public". However many people sympathetic to the Palestinian cause see the two-state solution as increasingly unfeasible, due to the entrenchment and expansion of Israeli settlements in the OPT. These people then regard the one state solution as the only remaining realistic option. Do you genuinely still believe a two state solution is still viable, and that all those settlements will really be dismantled for the creation of a Palestinian state?

This is correct. He agrees with their 'tactics' but has said that their 'goals' will never fly - specifically the fact that they want to 'remain neutral' on the question of Israel. He says that it is hypocritical to try to invoke international law when advocating for the rights of the Palestinians but to then ignore international law when it comes to recognizing Israel's right to statehood.

You have often expressed solidarity with the Hezbollah resistance in Lebanon. You've said that you think something sinister is brewing in Lebanon to try to get rid of Hezbollah. Can you expand on that a little bit? How will Hezbollah fare in the future?

Thanks for the response! And so, given that state of affairs, does advocating for a one-state solution now make more sense for Palestinians and their international supporters?
