“We stand here confronted by insurmountable opportunities.” - Pogo (as recorded by Walt Kelly)  

"...but the light will come, there also. For it is the dawn that has come, as it has come for a thousand centuries, never failing. But when that dawn will come, of our emancipation, from the fear of bondage and the bondage of fear, why, that is a secret." - Alan Paton, from the last paragraph of Cry, the Beloved Country"

A Word from the (relatively) Sane Opposition - "Redeeming" Palestine?: Two States, One State and Snake Oil, by MICHAEL NEUMANN



A Few Words from the Wise A collection of writings on the subject by or about people that are generally recognized as manifesting to a greater degree than most of us that quality we refer to as "wisdom."

The Israel Lobby A collection of writings on the driving force behind American foreign policy regarding the Mideast.

Zionism Articles on the ideology that engendered and maintains the Jewish state.

The 13th Tribe, by Arthur Koestler Not directly related to the one state solution, but sheds considerable light on the actual, but little known, origin of the Zionists - by the author of Darkness at Noon). More on this subject at 1., 2., and 3.

What is 'Holocaust Denial'?, by Barbara Kulaszka A definitive debunking of this key element of Zionist propaganda ) More at 1., 2., 3., 4.

Pre-Traumatic Stress Disorder-A Glimpse into the Israeli Collective Psychosis This is one of a number of insightful pieces by Gilad Atzmon, sort of the Renaissance Man of the One State movement - an award-winning jazz saxophonist, a novelist, humorist, and in my view the most brilliant as well as the most colorful commentator. Everything he writes is well worth a look. And for a little psychologizing re G.W. Bush see this.

Indeed there is Apartheid in Israel Well, I guess this former Israeli Cabinet member must be an antisemite.

An Open Word About Anti-Semitism As Zionist propaganda incessantly (mis)uses this term, it seems only fair to highlight an analysis cum rebuttal. Who better than Andrew Winkler, the owner/webmaster of Ziopedia to provide this service.

The Coming Attack on Iran (under construction, but here's a collection from another site.)

Antisemitism and Islamophobia (under construction) To be included:

The Jewish Holocaust under the Nazis

Antisemitism

Islamophobia

The Palestinian Saga (under construction) To be included:

The Palestinian Holocaust under the Israelis: Nakba and Ethnic Cleansing

Intifada (the ongoing struggle against genocide)

Apartheid and the Ghetto Wall


No reasonable, decent human being with an open mind, after reading a random sample of the articles on this site, could possibly dispute that the best - indeed the only possible - genuine and lasting solution to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is the establishment of a single, democratic and secular state between the river and the sea.
