Abdul al-Sayed on Israel-Palestine:

I understand on both sides of this debate, we also deal with a lot of trauma. A lot of trauma.

I understand that for many Jewish Americans, there is the trauma of the Holocaust and the need for asylum. I understand that.

And I also understand that for many American Palestinians and Palestinians everywhere, there is the trauma of the Nakba.

We must be able to create the circumstances in which the two deeply traumatized people can have a principled conversation. But to me, the answer must be principled. It has to be.
