A very small but noisy minority of Post – Zionist Israelis joined the Israeli- Arab leadership in Israel and Palestinians in support of a One State Solution. The platform accepted on August 2009 at the Fatah Conference included a one state solution as an alternative to a 2 state solution.

Cecily Hilleary brought in her article "Could One-State Proposal Provide Middle East Peace," published in THE VOICE OF AMERICA, two scholars who argue for and against a one state solution:

Ali Abunimah, the author of "One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli- Palestinian Impasse, and Hussein Ibish, the author of "What's Wrong With the One State Agenda."

Ali Abunimah argues that a binational state is the reality in Israel today. There are about 11 million people between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, half of them are Jews and half of them are Palestinians. They are ruled by one government, the Israeli government.

He brings his considerations for a binational solution:
First, Israel is facing an international isolation, religious divisions within Israeli society and threats to its security from the region.
Second, there are 4,500,000 Palestinian refugees on the West Bank and Gaza Strip whose problems must be solved.
The best solution to these problems, are a binational state, in which Jews, Muslims and Christians will live in peace together.

Hussein Ibish disagree. He argues that the idea is not feasible because only Palestinians would benefit in one state. Ibish argues that "It's an ideal scenario from a Palestinian point of view…but I think the problem is it doesn't offer anything to Jewish- Israelis."

Ibish brings his considerations against a one state solution:
First, the return of Palestinian refugees would turn the Israeli-Jews into a minority.
Second, Israel was established as a national Jewish state and a democracy. It can't be democratic with the occupation, but, the return of the refugees will put an end to the Jewish national state.
Third, the treatment of minorities in the Arab Middle East does not ensure equal rights to Israeli –Jews in a country ruled by a Palestinian majority.

My view:

The one state solution represents the original agenda of the PLO.

The one state solution represents a selfish attitude that denies the Jewish people a right of self- determination, and any historical connection to Palestine.

But, above all, international experience proves that the binational state is not working. It’s a fact that binational states as well as multi- national states are disintegrating all over the world. A binational state is a receipt for continuous conflict and civil war.

The only fair solution to both, Israelis and Palestinians is a 2 state solution.
