Written by Benjamin Fribley for the Alternative Information Center (AIC)

Advocating a two-state solution to the Israel/Palestine conflict has been the default position for the international community, the Israeli mainstream and the Palestinian political establishment since the hopeful beginning of the Oslo peace process. There has long been a movement pushing for a binational state within the confines of the land demarcated as Israel and Palestine. This movement has been trumped by the Israeli desire to retain a Jewish state. The Palestinian nationalist discourse has also rejected a binational state, calling either for the ruination of Israel in its most extreme versions, or a more moderate version accepting the two-state solution.

Citizens of Israel in support of the proposal for a UNISON Economic and Cultural Boycott of Israel Print E-mail
Written by Citizens of Israel   
Tuesday, 05 June 2007

full size
We Palestinian and Jewish citizens of Israel strongly support the proposal for UNISON to implement an economic and cultural boycott of Israel. We commend this proposal, especially in the wake of the historic decision by the University and College Union in Britain and similar proposals by the Architects for Peace and Justice in Palestine and the Congress of South African Trade Unions.
