What a pathetic dodge. I watched the whole Peled video and my comments are on-topic - they just don't represent what YOU want people to take from the video. I advanced the topic by bringing in current events and you evidently don't want to engage in an honest discussion.
I question whether you actually understand the entirety of all the material you post. For instance, did you watch the entire video with Dror Moreh, "The Gatekeepers" director - especially the last 2 minutes? He criticized the hosts for being biased in their portrayals of the Israelis and Palestinians - and consequently misleading. I agree with him that both are guilty of terrible acts and neither is the innocent victim they try to portray themselves as being.
However, I think his characterization of the Israeli occupation as "tactic without strategy" also applies to the Palestinian terrorist attacks. The attacks are not going to drive the Israelis out and they're counterproductive in getting support for a peaceful solution. The Israelis are not going to give up any occupied territory unless they're sure they won't be attacked from it.
