Now that the mythical two-state "solution" is clearly dead, Israeli anthropologist and activist, Jeff Halper, co founder of the Israeli Coalition Against House Demolitions, is working with a group of Palestinians and Israelis to develop a possible framework for what a truly democratic, inclusive, one state could look like. He spoke to a group in Bremen, Germany, where he outlined what this unique group has come up with for this new democratic one state vision. Excerpts from this speech are today's feature presentation.
Over the next several months we will continue to follow the efforts of this Palestinian/Israeli working group as they continue to forge a consensus for a way forward in the consideration of a truly democratic, inclusive one state solution.
You too should be involved in this discussion. The status quo is unsustainable, immoral, and destructive beyond measure. While its main victims are Palestinians, it hurts us all. As this show's original founder, the late Sherif Fam, memorably said each week, "Get involved! Get involved!"
his Week In Palestine (a weekly 8am feature of Truth and Justice Radio (TJR)) is an award-winning 45-minute (or more) segment of news from Palestine and discussion of issues relevant to the Palestinians' struggle for freedom from Israel's brutal military occupation and colonization of their homeland. It speaks from the point of view of Palestinians and those who care about them. TJR is aired Sundays 6-10am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, also streamed live and archived for two weeks at wzbc.org; TJR's modest website, truthandjusticeradio.org, has a link to This Week In Palestine archives back thru 1-6-2008; editions are also accessible at radio4all.net or by navigating through our playlists.
