He's got that right:
<<Words packed with content such as 'rationalism,' 'moderation,' and 'concessions' arouse horror. What meaning could concessions and interim solutions have when compared to 'the sacred rights' - which exist, of course, only on paper?...

In reality, restoring [Palestinian rights] is impossible - but reality is the last thing that interests the bewitched way of thinking in which the value of words equals their content.

Thus, these leaders have handed down a death sentence for Palestinian intelligence. It is no accident
that most critical Palestinian intellectuals have preferred remaining outside the leadership..>>

The other reason intellectuals prefer remaining outside the leadership is that they end being killed, imprisoned or exiled, either by Palestineans for being collaborators or by those Israelis who don't want Palestinean moderates around.
