RIGHT now the idea of a peace settlement and a Palestinian state seems absurd given the apocalypse unfolding in Gaza under Israeli bombardment and siege.
Recent editorials in the Morning Star and a feature article by Nick Wright have insisted that the two-state solution is the only viable road to a Palestinian state alongside Israel. Calls for a one-state solution, which some in the Palestinian liberation movement support, are dismissed.
Wright wrote last week: “Those who think a single state — assembled within the existing state apparatus of Israel and including the existing populations of Israel, Gaza, the occupied territory and the West Bank — would be a secular democratic state of equal rights have abandoned any materialist and Marxist conception of the state.”
