A Radical Vision for Israelis and Palestinians

The "Land for All" confederation model offers a transformative approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by moving beyond the binary of total separation or a single unified state. Co-directors Rula Hardal and May Pundak propose two sovereign, independent nations with open borders, shared institutions, and freedom of residency to accommodate the deep, intertwined psychological and religious connections both peoples hold toward the entire homeland. This vision rejects the failed paradigm of security through segregation, arguing instead that sustainable peace requires acknowledging mutual historical narratives—including the Nakba and the Holocaust—and fostering cooperation on shared interests like economy, climate, and public health. By prioritizing a clear, long-term endgame over the current cycle of managing violence, the model seeks to build a bottom-up political movement capable of replacing the status quo with a framework rooted in equality, dignity, and collective security.
