 The time has come to get together behind the only just and feasible solution to the Israeli/ Palestinian conflict. It has come to be known as "the one state solution." As one observer wrote,

"Through various ways and means, an ever-increasing number of people active in the Palestine/Israel conflict are reaching the conclusion that ethnic separatism - the two state solution - is no longer a viable possibility. If one rules out the ethnic separatist agenda, one is limited to two opposing visions: a racist one-state model based on ethnic cleansing; or a non-racist one-state model based on mutually acceptable coexistence within the same state."



The only recognition that is needed now is Israel's recognition of the Palestinians as human beings. If this is obtained, all the rest will be relatively easy
.

- Gideon Levy in Haaretz, 4/22/09


If the Palestinian Authority passes into irrelevance or collapses (as now seems likely) calls for a one-state solution to the conflict "will come out of the shadows and enter the mainstream." - Alvaro de Soto, the just-retired UN coordinator for the Middle East, 6/13/07


"If the Holocaust can be shown to be a Zionist myth, the strongest of all weapons in Israel's propaganda armoury collapses."
 Professor W D Rubenstein (Quadrant, September 1979)


Zionism is fascism, exactly the same as Nazism. The terminology is slightly different, like the tribal affiliations, but in essence they are identical. 

- Roger Tucker, Publisher of One Democratic State


Fear of annihilation is at the heart of Jewish, not just Israeli culture and it pre-dates the Holocaust. But the climate in Israel today is far more extreme than it was in my time, as Israel on the whole moves further and further to an irrational fanatic position...

- Israel's growing insanity, by Avigail Abarbanel


“Faith in a holy cause is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves.”  - 'The True Believer' by Eric Hoffer


"The concept of a racial state - the Hitlerian concept- is repugnant to the civilized world, as witness the fearful  global war in which we are involved..I urge that we do nothing to set us back on the road to the past.To project at this time the creation of a Jewish state..is to launch a singular innovation in world affairs which might well have incalculable consequences."
- Lessing J. Rosenwald, president of the American Council for Judaism - in 1944


"Genocide: the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group"
"Does anybody seriously deny that this is exactly what is taking place in Palestine?"
A 1918 statement by the President of the US
  “The settlement of every question, whether of territory, of sovereignty, of economic arrangement, or political relationship, rests upon the basis of the free acceptance of that settlement by the people immediately concerned, and not upon the basis of the material interest or advantage of any other nation or people which may desire a different settlement for the sake of its own exterior influence or mastery.  If that principle is to rule, and so the wishes of Palestine’s population are to be decisive as to what is to be done with Palestine, then it is to be remembered that the non-Jewish population of Palestine – nearly nine-tenths of the whole – are emphatically against the entire Zionist program.  The tables show that there was no one thing upon which the population of Palestine were more agreed upon than this.  To subject a people so minded to unlimited Jewish immigration, and to steady financial and social pressure to surrender the land, would be a gross violation of the principle just quoted, and of the People’s rights, though it is kept within the forms of law.”
(President Woodrow Wilson's speech on Independence Day July 4, 1918)


"I still believe it is our role as a people seeking peace with justice to provide an alternative vision to Zionism's, a vision based on equality and inclusion, rather than on apartheid and exclusion. Each episode such as the one I have described here augments my conviction that neither Israelis nor Palestinians have any alternative to sharing a land that both claim. I also believe that the Al-Aqsa Intifada must be directed towards that end, even though political and cultural resistance to Israel's reprehensible occupation policies of siege, humiliation, starvation and collective punishment must be vigourously resisted. The Israeli military causes immense damage to Palestinians day after day: more innocent people are killed, their land destroyed or confiscated, their houses bombed and demolished, their movements circumscribed or stopped entirely."
 - Edward Said, in 2001

"The illegitimate and criminal State of Israel must be abolished and the mental disease of Zionism must be eradicated."
- International Council on Public Health

A Country for All Its Citizens

  Conference in Boston
    An international conference (first time in the U.S.) to undertake a critical assessment of the current status of the two state solution to the Palestinian/Israeli conflict and to explore the logic and feasibility of a one-state solution based on equal citizenship for Palestinians and Israelis. The conference was held on March 28 and 29, 2009 on the campus of the University of Massachusetts.
