Mark LeVine on the one-state two-states debate:

With Palestinians wielding binationalism as a threat and Israelis imagining it as a curse, it's not surprising that the idea still has relatively few supporters. But what if a binational state was reimagined as a positive development, one that allows for the greatest possible realization of both Jewish and Palestinian aspirations? Indeed, the idea had this connotation for progressive Zionists such as the Brit Shalom movement during the pre-1948 period, and an increasing number of Israeli academics and activists are giving the idea a second look today.

Even Theodor Herzl, in Zionism's ur-text, Altneuland (Old-New Land), describes the future Jewish state as one where Jews and Palestinians have equal rights and responsibilities in the civic and economic life of the country.

Of course, Herzl also imagined “spiriting” Palestinians “across the border” to ensure the creation of a Jewish state. And it is precisely such paradoxical sentiments towards Palestinians—wanting to live with them as good neighbors and wanting to get rid of them in order to ensure unfettered possession of the land—that has defined the serpentine trajectory of Zionism during the last century.
