It has been pointed out to me that some of my words in this conversation around min 38, apparently referring to potential genocide in Gaza, were edited out. I checked and that is indeed the case. This is very troubling and will hopefully be corrected.

In June 2023 I warned in an interview with Haaretz that "Israel suffers from a serious disease of euphoria of power." Then came October 7, fifty years and a day after the same euphoria produced the debacle of 1973. It's time to consider peace.
