Quoting Rashid Khalidi:
[…] The United States has taken a sledgehammer to any idea of a rules-based international order. It has taken a sledgehammer to international humanitarian law, and to the rules of war. If you can kill hundreds of civilians to take out one leader, then the whole idea of international humanitarian law and the laws of war based on proportionality and discrimination goes right out the window.
[…] On the one hand, I see the future as being very grim for the #Palestinians into the foreseeable future, until they develop a consensus around a strategy and a leadership. Hopefully that will come soon, but there's no way of telling when it will come. But I think that there's a message here in what Israel is doing. The policy of force, which would have worked in the sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, or nineteenth centuries, and even into the twentieth century, cannot possibly work in the twenty-first century.
[..] I would say the future is quite grim for the Palestinians, but I don't think it looks any better for #Israel. In fact, in some respects, it may even be worse in the long term for Israel as it is currently configured.
