I think as we dominate Palestinians more, especially in this way in which we do it in Gaza, I think as a people, as society, we become much more tolerant to death of civilians. And it's coming to a point where people actually claim that there's no such thing as an innocent person in Gaza. This is a gradual process that's reaching a peak, I hope, because if this isn't the peak, I don't want to know what the peak is.

If you only believe that "It's either us or them," then war is the only option. It's very fertile land for war and dehumanization.
