Slowly but surely the one state is becoming main stream discussion topic. This conference is the most publicized most attacked one state conference , this of course is a huge huge plus and an advantage that should be learnt from . I wish
that such an event should be done on a large scale open to all not limited to 300 seats.can you imagine the publicity .Second point is a question... when will the one state take the next step from academic discussion platform to political
platforms ? when will it take its fare share of the palestenian political agenda .I think that diaspora palestenians (mainly refugees ) should be the main focus in your out reach.

I don't understand

I don't understand why you can't have an opinion that the zionists have to leave Palestine. They invaded violently; broke international laws for 60 plus years and created all types of hell. Why can't you just turn around and say, "you have to go home."

Sorry, David King, where's

Sorry, David King, where's 'home' for most Israelis? On this basis,
should not all non-indigenous Americans, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, all go 'home'?

send the zionists back home

Where is home? Are you worried people don't know what country they came from? Don't worry about it. They know very well where they came from.

How on earth you draw your conclusions, I have no idea. Keep it simple. Have those who have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity tried and sentenced and the rest deported back to their native country.

Dangerous Thoughts

One State that provides a right of return to the 4 million children of the original 750,000 that were displaced no matter how it is cloaked in democracy is simply another demographic solution to the Jewish question. Justice cannot be exclusive to any group and two states remain available if both peoples are willing to communicate and take all the risks incumbent on giving birth to a reality that guarantees freedom to all.
