A webinar featuring Diana Buttu and Jeff Halper, moderated by Peter Larson. The two state solution to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict has been the conventional wisdom among politicians and foreign policy experts in Western nations for decades. Despite this mainstream acceptance, it has done nothing to bring peace any closer 

 

for the people of Israel/Palestine. Denial of civil and human rights, confiscation of land and resource for exclusive Israeli use, and total suppression of any attempts to create a Palestinian state have made clear the flaws in the the two state path to peace. An alternative approach appears necessary. IJV-Montreal is proud to present this 

 

discussion on such an alternative: one democratic state. We are especially proud to host two established and respected voices, a Palestinian lawyer and an Israeli peace activist respectively, as they 

 

discuss this possibility. This discussion considers the reality on the ground in Israel/Palestine, what might be done to reach one 

 

 

democratic state, and what that one state will look like.

 ky News Australia 1.53M subscribers Transcript Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Michael Doran says the Biden administration has a “faulty theory” it can create a balance in the Middle East. 

 

 

 “They have a theory, the Biden administration, I think it’s a very faulty theory, that they can create a balance in the Middle East between their traditional allies and Iran,” Mr Doran said, a former Bush administration National Security Council senior director. 

 

“They kind of see themselves no longer as leading a coalition against Iran and China but just holding a kind of balance between the forces 

 

 

in the region because they don’t truly believe that the Chinese are 

 

trying to oust us from the region.” Mr Doran said that was a “very faulty assumption”.
