Kuttab’s ‘No Brainers’

Don’t let the idea of a two-state solution act an alibi or excuse for avoiding concrete actions now:

· Lift the Gaza siege now

· Stop sending children to military courts

· Stop collective punishment

· Stop administrative detentions (detaining without charges or trial)

· Stop destroying homes

· Let Palestinians build in Area C

· Open up West Bank roads to all

Rabbi Suskin’s suggestions:

Don’t use not knowing the outcome as an excuse for not acting now.

• Reinstate labeling of settlement products
• Connect with Israeli and Jewish organizations of good will
• Peace Now & Americans for Peace Now
• Breaking the Silence
• T’ruah
• If Not Now
• B’Tselem
• Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions

In this episode of “Occupied Thoughts,” host Peter Beinart is joined by Palestinian human rights lawyer Jonathan Kuttab, who recently published the book “Beyond the Two State Solution” (available at no cost via the Nonviolence International website). Kuttab argues that a Palestinian state with no sovereignty or substance cannot deliver freedom or independence and it is time to look beyond the “false mirage of the Two State Solution.” He lays out in detail how a single, shared Palestinian and Jewish state would be structured – from roles in the military to language learning in schools – and how it answers the urgent needs for justice, equality, and security.

Peter Beinart is a Non-Resident Fellow at the Foundation for Middle East Peace. He is also a Professor of Journalism and Political Science at the City University of New York, a Contributing opinion writer at the New York Times, an Editor-at-Large at Jewish Currents, and a CNN Political Commentator. He tweets at @PeterBeinart.

Beyond The Two-State Solution, by Jonathan Kuttab, Book Launch Webinar (nonviolenceinternational.net)

Zionism and Palestinian Nationalism have been at loggerheads for over a century. Some thought the two-state solution would resolve the conflict between them. Jonathan explains that the two-state solution is no longer viable. He suggests that any solution be predicated on the basic existential needs of the two parties, needs he lays out in exceptional detail. He formulates a way forward for a 1-state solution that challenges both Zionism and Palestinian Nationalism. This book invites readers to begin a new conversation based on reality: two peoples will need to live together in some sort of unified state. It is balanced and accessible to neophytes and to experts alike.
