Israel-Palestine: A single binational state

Last may, the most vehement critic of Israel and zionism, Norman Finkelstein, was giving a conference in Montreal invited by Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East. After the conference, he was asked about his position on the issue of a single binational state. He said that in his opinion the most possible and feasible solution right now is the two state solution and that the One state solution did not have support on either side.

This answer from Finkelstein made me change my opinion about him. I think he is more of a critic of what zionism and Israel have become than a staunch supporter of the palestinian cause as he is most often described. Because he was ignoring in his answer and in his position the extraordinary and growing support for a single binational state on both sides and persisting in trying to convince himself and us, against all odds, that the two state solution is still workable.

But he is wrong.

The Two State solution is nearly dead

On The Israel Lobby and Intellectual Terrorism

Criticism of Israel becoming mainstream in the US ?

Thanks to the paper on the Israel lobby by Mearsheimer and Walt and to the recent book by former president Jimmy Carter 'Peace not Apartheid', criticism of Israel is becoming mainstream in the US, despite current perceptions.

Read here the comments of Norman Finkelstein on Carter's book and on the attempt by some pro-zionist or zionist wary media to discredit Carter's arguments, most notably the comparison Carter makes between the state of Israel as it is now and the south African Apartheid.

The Lebanese daily Star Rami Khoury's ''Israel's dominance may be going into slow reversal'' offers us an analysis of the moves by the Israeli government during the last six monts and concludes that since the July war on Lebanon, Israel is in trouble.

UPDATE: I received an insult from one commentator on this post but I did not publish it. However I can publish the IP of this commentator who is from the US:205.188.117 (aol commercial)
That's just a proof that insults are one of the methods Zionists resort to in order to silence criticism...Other means are: lobbying, Blackmailing, Bombing, Intimidating and Targeted Killings...
