Palestinians don't have Israeli citizenship and vote in Israeli elections because they are citizens of the state of Palestine and vote in Palestinian elections. This complaining is like whining that Canadians cannot vote in American elections. If Peter actually cared about authoritarianism, let's hear him say one word about the Palestinian Authority, which has the same dictator in power for decades and rules the Palestinians with an iron fist.

“Nothing is stopping relations with Israel… and I think all the signs show that Israel can be part of Saudi Arabia’s network of connections.”

Peace is readily achievable between Israel and Palestine when Palestinians 1) accept Israel’s right to exist; 2) agree to a state of their own next to Israel; and 3) agree to a “right of return” to a new state of Palestine and not to Israel. For over 70 years there have been numerous formal and informal efforts to achieve a two state peace, but all have ended with Palestinian rejection.

More and more Arab countries are refusing to be held hostage by Palestinian intransigence and are normalizing relations with Israel. Your activism should be aimed at the corrupt and criminal Palestinian leaders who continue to teach children to ‘drive the Jews into the sea.’ Hopefully one day they will instead choose peace so that both peoples can thrive.
