Mondoweiss: 'Mr. Horowitz, tell us what you think of the two-state solution'.
"there are several principles that any just solution will have to meet. Some of those principles are equality (in the personal and collective sense) and self-determination. These are principles that can be met in theory in any configuration of solutions, whether they be one state, two states, a confederation, etc. I have heard compelling arguments for the need for one democratic state in Israel/Palestine and for separate states called Israel and Palestine. In the end it is up to people living on the ground to find a solution that works for them.
From our perspective in the US we just need to know that regardless of what the solution looks like, the conflict will not end until these principles are met."
In case there are new readers wondering where I stand: I think one state is inevitable. I mean, it's one state now, it's just one insane unjust state divided against itself.
