Love Said, great essay. I will say though that the Khalidi foreword was frustrating. So much ink spilled about the "unrestrained violence some Palestinian groups advocate" and "unproductive opposition to normalization by some Palestinian youth" (paraphrased). This rhetoric only serves to undermine the just and correct line of armed resistance that Palestinians have taken against the genocidal settlers on their land, and concedes so much ground to the invaders for no benefit, just some perceived pragmatism. How they can criticize the PA's spineless collaborationism while also having venom for the active resistance and self defense exercised by Hamas, PFLP, PIJ in Gaza, I cannot comprehend.
