Israel-Palestine

The ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, intensified by recent violence, raises urgent questions about achieving lasting peace. Shlomo Sand, an Israeli historian, challenges the viability of the long-supported two-state solution, arguing it has become an unattainable ideal amidst growing settlements and systemic inequality. Instead, he explores the historical roots of Zionism, revealing that some early Jewish thinkers advocated for a bi-national federation. This vision of equality and shared governance may represent the most realistic path forward for both Israelis and Palestinians.
