The Sydney Morning Herald has an op-ed by Chicago’s Ali Abunimah saying that the one-state solution is gaining adherents worldwide. The two-state solution "has all but disappeared as Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip are caged into walled reservations by growing Israeli settlements and settler-only roads – a situation that resembles the bantustans of apartheid South Africa," Abunimah says, and points out that the number of Palestinians under Israeli rule is about to exceed the number of Jews, at 5 million.
The Herald is one of Australia’s two leading papers, sort of the NYT of Aussie. A pity that Abunimah can express these views down under but not here. When does the author get invited on to op-eds here? Our journalism is broken, even as Abunimah is right, the one-state option gains adherents.
