The push to recognize a Palestinian state creates the illusion of action, but delays the real remedies: sanctioning and isolating Israel's apartheid regime.
Let us not waste another 30 years of Palestinian lives on the partition paradigm — a colonial “solution” to a colonial problem. Israel has long made clear it will never accept a Palestinian state; clinging to the two-state solution is gaslighting on an extraordinary scale, and it has brought us only despair.
Recognizing Israel as an apartheid state is the necessary first step toward a future beyond ethnonationalism, rooted in equality, justice, and freedom for all. And it is not symbolic; apartheid is a crime against humanity under international law.
