Description

Interview with Palestinian lawyer and author, Raja Shehadeh, by Nathan Thrall from the New Yorker radio hour under the title of 'Israel's other intractable conflict.'

The genocide is discussed under the trope of 'Israeli-Palestinian conflict', thus focussing on the fears and motivations of both sides, the lack of progress in the peace process, and the potential for a lasting resolution (read 'two-state solution').

The interviewer from the New Yorker highlights the importance of acknowledging the legitimacy of both nations and the need for a two-state solution.

Raja Shehadeh shares his family's Nakba experience of being driven out of Jaffa in Palestine in 1948 and the significance of 'sumud' (staying put) in the face of Israeli policies.

Interviewer, Nathan Thrall, notes a 'shift in sentiment' among Palestinians, with some viewing Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar as a hero.
