Hanan Ashrawi: 'Netanyahu's legacy has been one of the most destructive for the whole region'

Hanan Ashrawi is a former member of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation’s Executive Committee and has been a central figure in Palestinian policies for four decades.
As Netanyahu's 12 -year tenure ends, she says he has 'created a situation where the chances of peace have become all the more difficult, if not impossible'.
Sky's Mark Stone spoke to her.

She is well spoken. Her narrative is excellent. She must be the Palestinian President. Her Wisdom will help the cause of Palestine. Justice for Palestine ❤️🙏

This woman says it all

[@devonnola8921]

The one thing on which I disagree with this extraordinary woman is the word apartheid. Apartheid is a system of exploitation. The Jewish state isn’t looking to exploit the Palestinians, they want them gone, whether by murdering them or ethnically cleansing them. The most effective way for the Palestinians to win is to survive. 🇵🇸

[@gshunnar]

Just admit it, US and Israel never intended to let go of any teritory. And a Palestinian state could’ve never been sovereign and viable even on 1947 partition

[@madrasaseries]

love her

[@RUTHLESSambition5]

The new guy will be 10x worse

[@randamikati2216]

Hanan Shaarawi rules. She is one of many Palestinians who are highly educated and does not hesitate to express herself so eloquently describing the injustice and the killing of the Palestinians by a cruel Zionist regime like no other in the world. I also applaud many Jewish friends who are disgusted with this authoritarian regime.

Muslim and Jew alike will love each other if the whole Country merges. Will they both forget the past, live together, work together, marry together, party together. Would this not be good?

[@markm5758]

@@Valen-xu2wy that’s not true because Hanan ashrawi is Christian

​@Valen-xu2wy That's what Palestinians want. Israel is destroying it every day.

Blame those who are responsible for crimes against humanity.

I didn't know it was the palestians who where persecuting themselves.

[@Anp562]

They reject all the deals offered to them since 1930s and then cry/whine about not having a state. Even the arabs are fed up of palestinians and have moved on to have diplomatic relations with Israel

[@noamkoren7390]

She takes zero accountability When a person says he is not to blame for anything, be sure he is Also, claiming that Hamas is also a social organization?

Yes they are a social orginzation.

Via adopting Libertarian/Austrian School Economic principles, Netanyahu has led turned Israel into to? The most productive nation per capita in the history of Planet Earth. Palestinian? An identity invented post 1960. Zero percent of Arabs identified as such prior to the PLO. "Oppressed" Arabs, prior to destruction of Lebanon, are more free in Israel than in any Middle Eastern country. No contest. Israel 8000 sqaure miles for its 9 million people 20% of whom are Arab Arab League 5,000,000 square miles for its 420 million people Oppression of Arabs by Israel, or by Jews, who number 15 million at most ....is a really tough sell.

At what cost to humanity. Its clear what your values are.
