“Joyce Karam is both a Hamas spokesman with her repeated unsubstantiated (and unchallenged) accusations of Israeli war crimes, and a colonialist. Prognosticating on all her favorite options for what will rule Gaza after Hamas, not once did she consider that the Palestinians themselves have agency, and may have their own favorite options. No, Karam knows best, and she will move the chess pieces on her colonialist board as she sees fit. At least on this, one of the others in the panel pointed out that maybe the Palestinians do have agency, and may have preferences of their own. Unspoken was that we know already what that choice is - Hamas. Palestinian polls regularly demonstrate it.
War on the Rocks is usually superb. This episode was a non credible travesty.”
