C-J Allies just promoted a webcast on Jonathan Kuttab’s new book “Beyond the Two-State Solution.” Here’s the page for the book on his site.
Jonathan Kuttab is co-founder of Nonviolence International and a co-founder of the Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq. A well-known international human rights attorney, he has practiced in the US, Palestine and Israel. He serves on the Board of Bethlehem Bible College and is President of the Board of Holy Land Trust. He co-founded the Mandela Institute for Political Prisoners and is co-founder and board member of the Just Peace Advocates. He was the head of the Legal Committee negotiating the Cairo Agreement of 1994 between Israel and the PLO.
In Beyond The Two-State Solution, Jonathan describes how some have thought the two-state solution would resolve the conflict between Zionism and Palestinian Nationalism. He explains that the two-state solution (that he supported) is no longer viable, suggesting that any solution be predicated on the basic existential needs of both parties, needs he lays out in exceptional detail. He formulates a way forward for a One-State solution that challenges both Zionism and Palestinian Nationalism. He invites readers to begin a new conversation based on reality: two peoples living together in some sort of unified state.
