Ending empire at its root. Right of return, BDS, and the one-state framework.
Palestine is not a regional conflict. It is a lens through which the entire logic of settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, and imperial support becomes visible.
Palestinian refugees and their descendants have a legal and moral right to return to the land from which they were expelled. This is enshrined in UN Resolution 194. The right of return is not a radical demand. It is international law.
Liberation requires that governments, corporations, and institutions that materially support the occupation be held accountable through arms embargoes, sanctions, and divestment. The BDS movement provides a civil society framework that has proven effective — which is precisely why it has been criminalized in dozens of U.S. states and across Europe. Effective pressure is always called extremism.
The two-state solution is a dead letter. Decades of settlement expansion have made a contiguous Palestinian state geographically impossible. The one-state framework — a democratic state with equal rights for all citizens regardless of religion or ethnicity — is the only solution consistent with universal human rights.
