A lot has happened this year.
Most of it fucking terrible. Unimaginable. I thought 2024 sucked. Listen...
But more people are connecting the dots and speaking out against genocide, and I hope that continues to snowball.
The idea that reconciliation or a one-state solution would lead to the extermination of Jews is a false and fear-based narrative. It assumes that Jewish safety depends on maintaining ethnic dominance rather than equal rights. But history shows that true security comes from justice, not supremacy.
A democratic, shared state would not erase Jewish identity or culture. It would protect it alongside others. The fear of annihilation ignores the possibility that Jews can live safely and freely in a state where all people are equal and not one built on exclusion and control.
Justice for Palestinians does not mean destruction for Jews. It means a future rooted in coexistence, not domination.
This vision is captured in the phrase “from the river to the sea” which is a call, in its liberatory sense, not for expulsion or erasure, but for equality, dignity, and freedom for everyone living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. It imagines a single democratic homeland where no group is superior and no people are oppressed. A home for both Palestinians and Jews, not one at the expense of the other.
I don’t want a two-state solution, Santa.
The two-state solution is often framed as a moral compromise, but in reality, it protects the status quo, delays accountability, and avoids confronting the deeper issue: a system built on inequality and displacement. It may sound balanced, but it too often serves to preserve ethno-national privilege while appearing to endorse peace.
