The vision is only explained near the bottom, obviously:
Coming from very different positions, the two women are co-executive directors of A Land for All, which since 2012 has promoted “two sovereign states — Israel and Palestine — in one shared homeland.”
Rather than divide Palestine into two wholly separate countries, A Land for All calls for shared responsibility for resources like water systems, electricity and public health. But two independent states would exist, with “recognized borders, right for self-determination, equal rights, and security for both peoples.”
People would be free to travel across both states and to live in either one; Israelis could live in Palestine, and Palestinians in Israel. Jerusalem would be the capital of both states, and freely accessible to both peoples. Their justice systems would “include recognition and compensation for past wrongs — without creating new ones.”
That sounds very naïve – there are too many religious extremists on either side.
That’ll never happen. One state for both? After all the pain, suffering, and death that zionists have caused to the Palestinians, Lebanese, and Syrians, I doubt very much they’d want to co-habitate with them.
Likewise, I don’t think zionists will ever want to share their “God given” land with anybody else. No matter who it is, Arab or otherwise.
Israel was supposed to be a shining beacon of democracy and freedom in the Middle-East and we all see what it turned out to be. A fascist, judeo-ethnic nationalist state where if you’re of the wrong religion or descent, you’re nothing and have no rights.
It’s wishful thinking.
The only solution that I can see is if we abolish Israel and give Palestine back to its people and allow Jewish immigrants to move there and gain Palestinian citizenship as it was and should have been, before the first zionist colonist from Europe ever set foot there.
One state for both?
Technically 2 states (it’s literally called “2 states 1 homeland”) but with “freedom of movement” across them. Either way, wishful thinking.
benjamin is specifically doing this to stay out of jail, the constant aggression is enough to satiate his own people to not turn against him.
