This is folly and it's, you know, it's silly in many ways because it's just not serious. But what is serious is the question I was asked before. You know, After October 7th, people said the Palestinians had a state, Hamas state in Gaza and look what they did with it, they didn't build it up. They built down into bunkers, into terror tunnels, after which they massacred our people, raped our women, beheaded our men, invaded our cities and our towns and our kibbutzim and did horrendous, horrendous massacres, the kind of which we didn't see since World War II and the Nazis, the Holocaust. So people aren't likely to say, let's just give them another state. It'll be a platform to destroying Israel. (15:40–16:08)
