The path in front of us from here, from post-October 7th, is a state of sustained crisis, an actual zero-sum, where anything the Israelis get, they're going to get by taking it away from Palestinians or taking away Palestinians. And anything that Palestinians can get, they're going to have to get it by taking it away from Israelis. This strategic nihilism is only a reflection of something much deeper, which is the cycle of trauma that we're locked into.
