00:00:00.362 --> 00:00:02.063
If I look into the
Palestinian community,

2
00:00:02.088 --> 00:00:04.047
if I look into the
Jewish community,

3
00:00:04.072 --> 00:00:05.447
the experiences of the past

4
00:00:05.472 --> 00:00:10.378
that have caused us to become
afraid now limit in every single way

5
00:00:10.403 --> 00:00:13.110
the possibility of making
peace for the future.

6
00:00:13.135 --> 00:00:15.650
This is why I say no matter
what the politicians sign,

7
00:00:15.675 --> 00:00:19.468
the communities and the politicians
are living in fear of the other,

8
00:00:19.493 --> 00:00:23.315
then it's crazy even to sign
agreements because we think

9
00:00:23.340 --> 00:00:26.770
that mentally signing an agreement
is going to protect me.

10
00:00:26.795 --> 00:00:29.369
But I will make sure that
even if I sign an agreement,

11
00:00:29.394 --> 00:00:33.412
I will do everything possible
to make sure that I am still

12
00:00:33.437 --> 00:00:35.812
addressing my fear by
controlling the other,

13
00:00:35.837 --> 00:00:37.515
by providing the security that I need,

14
00:00:37.540 --> 00:00:42.896
by building more walls, more guns,
more bombs than the other.

15
00:00:42.921 --> 00:00:44.484
Even if there is an agreement.

If I look into the Palestinian community, if I look into the Jewish community, the experiences of the past that have caused us to become afraid now limit in every single way the possibility of making peace for the future. This is why I say no matter what the politicians sign, the communities and the politicians are living in fear of the other, then it's crazy even to sign agreements because we think that mentally signing an agreement is going to protect me. But I will make sure that even if I sign an agreement, I will do everything possible to make sure that I am still addressing my fear by controlling the other, by providing the security that I need, by building more walls, more guns, more bombs than the other. Even if there is an agreement.
