The One State Reality argues that a one state reality already predominates in the territories controlled by the state of Israel. The editors show that starting with the one state reality rather than hoping for a two state solution reshapes how we regard the conflict, what we consider acceptable and unacceptable solutions, and how we discuss difficult normative questions. The One State Reality forces a reconsideration of foundational concepts such as state, sovereignty, and nation, encourages different readings of history, shifts conversation about solutions from two states to alternatives that borrow from other political contexts, and provides context for confronting uncomfortable questions such as whether Israel/Palestine is an "apartheid state.
