Political views

On 8 July 2014, during the Israeli Operation Brother's Keeper in the West Bank, he said that he no longer believes it is still possible to have peace between Israelis and Palestinians on "fairly just terms" and that he thinks Israel is becoming an apartheid state "with two blatantly unequal judicial systems; one justice for lawless Jewish settlers, another for outlawed Palestinians". What mainly made him write something on the issue was the Israeli-Arab author Sayed Kashua, who had during those days said he was leaving Israel because he "could not stand it anymore".[4][5]
