ISRAEL, A SETTLER COLONIAL STATE
The ODSC program for a single democratic state in historic Palestine begins with the need to decolonize Zionism, to transform Israel (and its permanent control over the Occupied Territory as well) into a state of equal rights for all its citizens, Palestinians, Israel Jews and other communities.

A Just Future Demands the Decolonization of Palestine – and a Democratic State for All

ONE (APARTHEID) STATE BECOMES A FORMAL REALITY

The ‘One Democratic State Campaign’ program for a multicultural democratic state in Palestine/Israel
As the Leonard Cohen song goes, “everybody knows” the two-state solution is dead and gone.
