El genocidio no terminará a menos que los líderes políticos palestinos sean libres

The genocide will not end until the Palestinian political leaders are free

There is no clear Palestinian voice demanding reparations from Israel because Palestinian politics itself has been wounded by the long-term occupation, and by Israel’s targeted assassination and incarceration of popular Palestinian leaders.
