But you also wrote a piece a couple of months ago I think even before maybe this reform started and I and I wonder about your perspective on this now. That the liberal left within Israel which has been at least in terms of like the Jewish liberal left in Israel has been increasingly becoming a minority is in fact a majority if they take a more expansive view as to what the fight is within that country. Can you talk about that idea and expand on it particularly in light of this now that they've been drawn in by this sort of almost non-racialized if you will sort of a front there on the rights within Israel. Yes, this is the notion that I still think very few Israeli Jews understand but I think they should understand. What I'm referring to is this right-wing government that has declared in its principles that only the Jewish people have a right to self-determination in the historic land of Earth Israel between the river and the sea. Between the Jordan River and the sea. So the right wing is viewing the whole of the Territory between the river and the Sea as one territory under Israeli Rule and with Jewish Supremacy all over the land. Now if you say okay, let's look at this land. In this land, there are 15 million people, half of them Palestinians. Almost even a little more than 50.4 or something like this 50.4 percent up Palestinian and a little less than 50 percent is Jews. So there is a Palestinian majority. And if you take the liberal Jews in Israel and add them to the Palestinians you have a clear majority between the river and the sea that oppose these right-wing racist policies. Now it's a mentality that most Israelis and Israeli Jews still don't see. but because they don't see themselves as related to Palestinians over the green line in the West Bank and Gaza and and and it's Jerusalem. But I think it's the right way to think about it. We have to think about it. And if we think in this way, I'm talking about the river left then we will understand that we are not a minority. We are the majority. and we can use this majority.
