Under the heading "grinding squeeze" appeared in Haaretz on September 30,2013, article by Yitzhak Laor attacking the one democratic state vision all historical Palestine, surrender to government plans and settlers. Intensified his attack directly addressed to Professor Ian Lustick is that the New York Times published an article entitled "The illusion of the two countries," said determining the undignified death of two state plan, the removable cellar oblivion, whenever the question of the Palestinian National endangers the social and political order in the region. Professor Ian Lustick does not need my support or my defense on the Palestinian question. Yitzhak Laor right when he notes that Lustick 's book, "Arabs in the Jewish state" (published sailing , Haifa, 1985), is the best book on this subject published in Hebrew. Lustick revealed in his book especially sophisticated control forms of Israeli Arab society remains very shady borders Nakba in 1948 , the mechanisms that allow the exclusion, becoming marginal and preventing development while preserving the Arab patriarchy and control of government agents in this population. Lustick short burst through those scholars who came after him and stood on the shoulders of his teachings. Abandonment of apartheid program known as the two countries, indicates precisely the profound wisdom and understanding of the subject and is an expression of better perception of reality in Palestine. The collapse of the false formula "two states for two peoples" is a fait accompli, and again you can not convince the masses continue to be misled. Well explains the panic broadcast Israeli spokesmen from the Zionist political spectrum. For many years the idea of ​​"two states for two peoples" excellent cover for the continued occupation of the PLO leadership in making its subcontractor , and to strengthen the apartheid state. Now, finally, the formula breaks down that false labor was used shirt struggling Palestinian people freedom and brake his hopes. Critics of Ian Lustick also joins Maya Rosenfeld (Haaretz 18.10.2013) argues that the reason for throwing it in the trash is" unfair mediation of Americans in the conflict." too bad it relates to the fold of the shadows of H"sulta" (PA) as political leaders who could act against Israel short American backing , they basically corrupt subcontractors of the Israeli occupation. sad thing is that Mrs. Rosenfeld than probably believed, as most Israeli Left that the U.S. could have at some point become a moderator at all. Detachment of this approach stems from ignoring the fact that imperialist domination of the Arab East as being Israel's GDP, the vanguard of this system and the U.S. being a major organ in the body is monstrous . The true purpose of the "two-state" has always been to achieve recognition Palestinian leadership of the "Jewish state, built on motif of separation, concise sentence: "They are there and we are here" ,and "are there no High Court and without B'Tselem" and preserve the Zionist state based on primitive racism while promoting ethnic and religious values ​​reactionary. on the basis of this plan have emerged closure, cap, checkpoints, bypass roads, the separation wall and the exclusion of the rights and lands. gradually, following the Oslo Accords, the methods of control. exclusion and dispossession rights exerted on the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967, ran into space in 1948, and became outspoken and visible more. "expect" - a kind of new settlement in Arab population - were planted mines on land expropriated, wherever existence helps limit the construction Palestinian. within the Green Line were built bypass roads and built barriers municipalities. really like in the 67' has policy separation this phenomenon affects Palestinian citizens in Arab communities in Israel. slogan "two states" institutionalizes the catalyst , stabilization and fortification of the apartheid regime. Not loaded by Yitzhak Laor, placing the joint state plan squeeze novelty born of two state plan and erosion at a supporters, the truth is completely the opposite. Partition plan that the UN adopted in 1947, built on denial and removal from the agenda of one democratic state plan was fundamental to self-determination of all nations began to break free from colonialism . Distribution intended as a device to eliminate the Palestinian nation, as the effects of the Yalta agreements held between imperialism and bureaucracy Stalinist, designed to maintain world social order. program democratic secular state, was perfectly clear national movement Palestinian and was the only alternative to random tearing Palestine apart. following was written in September 1947 in the newspaper "Voice of class" underground out of Palestine. article titled " against partition ": "The calculations that led to the proposed division of Palestine are the same calculations that led to the division of India. "And what are these calculations?

"In our time, imperialism maintains his power by using two methods: rough and brutal repression - Indonesia, India - China and Greece , sowing strife or nationalist. Latest method is safer, cheaper and allows imperialism to hide behind the scenes... 'Independence' Jewish state can be expressed by choice: starve or be sold imperialism on her skin and bones... pocket Jewish state in the Arab East may be an excellent device under the mercy of the imperialists. shall use it to strengthen and cultivate its position among the Arab countries during the' Jewish Question danger, namely the fear of trends inevitable expansion of the tiny Jewish state., and one fine day leave 'Friends' the Jewish state alone... In short Aon"a Commission proposal [UN Special Committee for Palestine] is not a solution to the Jews, not the Arabs. is only solution imperialist policy." Every word rock. Not surprising that the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which began operations in 1966 , accepted the democratic secular state plan as Palestinian national freedom and self-determination. Even within Israel have adopted different political bodies this program. Example: Workers Alliance (vanguard), in 1970, Abnaa to Balad in 1983, Compass Marxist in 1986 - and others. Since 1998, with the establishment of the Committee for a democratic secular state in every area of ​​the country did not fall this password agenda despite minority supporters .

Currently being built new broad movement which championed the program one democratic state in all of historical Palestine. This plan is the only one who can solve the national question Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland and liberate the Jews from the ghetto and dangerous clerical Zionism that built it.

Determination of the amazing. In light of the final sentence of the article in Haaretz. "He writes: The status quo is comfortable necking of negotiations Israel to the Palestinian National deletion (my emphasis. A. A.).

The fact is, that the Zionist movement engaged in it 66 years or more erasing Palestinian nationalism different methods. However, nothing is more contributed to the organization's renunciation of secular democratic state plan and replacing it glass beads Oslo. Falsehood solution of two states, he was trampled scarecrows sheltered Palestinian nationalism not only the Palestinians but to all its parts. Supporting this Scarecrow today just sickening. it offers the illusion renewed masses realized already that this is for them a death trap. what grows, entrenched and expanded as a result of this program is the only apartheid state Jewish . those who want to support nationalism Palestinian authentic, namely self-determination Palestinian and surrogates, should join the call establish a single democratic state and to demand the return of Palestinian refugees to their homeland.

There is also no reason to wait or open armed uprising against the occupation as Rosenfeld claims Lustick apparent from the words. Have to build a movement united and consolidated for the Republic secular democratic state in all of Palestine historical and fight together for what Slustik offers: the struggle for equal rights for personal and political of all residents of the territory and refugees, which requires of course the replacement of the apartheid state of the Jewish and the cancellation of privileges determined by religion of If the citizen.
