A free Palestine would be a Taliban-like state, says Salman Rushdie

[Beastly Boy]

22. I am not arguing with this general sentiment. It sounds very good.

My question is, where is the broader support for the Palestinians to rid themselves of their current rulers coming from, and how do you imagine it might happen? And, by implication, where is the broader support for the Israelis to rid themselves of their current right wing government coming from, and how do you imagine this might happen?

Relying on the people of the world, the same people I don't see willing to even acknowledge either issue, to somehow motivate themselves into any meaningful action, does not begin to address the issues you raised. I am asking if you have any thoughts that are actionable and go beyond well sounding and very agreeable generalities.

On edit to your edit: This is a a significant step, but it has nothing to do with the good will of the people of the world. It is a legal move. This action does not constitute broader support: on the contrary, it is very narrow in its application. This is actually something I was hinting at in hopes you would mention international law as the authority to address the issues you raised in more concrete terms than those you previously referred to.
