The One State: The Only Viable Just Solution for Palestine/Israel

The two-state solution is dead. The land allocated to Palestine is little more than shattered islands, while the so-called “peace process” has entrenched the Israeli occupation.

It is neither outrageous nor controversial to say that the two-state solution is dead. The land supposedly allocated for a Palestinian state has become little more than shattered islands surrounded by walls, security zones, checkpoints, and Israel’s colonial expansion. The so-called “peace process” has entrenched the Israeli government’s multi-layered occupation and marginalized key issues like the right of return for Palestinian refugees. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that any Palestinian state that does come out of “negotiations” must be de-militarized and will not enjoy sovereignty over its borders or natural resources, effectively creating a chimerical state.
