Peace Based on Two States: End the conflict in the Middle East through a negotiated agreement that
provides for two states - Israel and Palestine - living side by side in
peace and security.
What’s Wrong with the One-State Agenda?
Why Ending the Occupation and Peace with Israel is Still the Palestinian National Goalby ATFP Senior Fellow Hussein Ibish
In
this new book, Dr. Ibish examines the arguments generally put forward
by Palestinian and other Arab American proponents of abandoning the goal
of ending the occupation and establishing a Palestinian state and
instead seeking to promote a single, democratic state in all of Israel
and the occupied Palestinian territories. The book also looks at
differences between the deployment of the one-state idea by some
Palestinian figures in the occupied territories as a diplomatic "threat"
intended to spur greater Israeli seriousness about a negotiated
agreement and the diasporic discourse that drives most one-state
rhetoric. Finally, Dr. Ibish explains in some detail why ending the
occupation and peace with Israel, while difficult to achieve and thus
far elusive, are the only plausible and practicable Palestinian national
strategy. The book also includes a preface by ATFP President Ziad J. Asali.

ATFP is strictly opposed to all acts of violence against civilians no
matter the cause and no matter who the victims or perpetrators may be.
The Task Force advocates the development of a Palestinian state that is
democratic, pluralistic, non-militarized and neutral in armed conflicts.
