At a certain point, and this was after my father passed away, and I think that was part of my reckoning process of grief, of just coming to terms with the fact that I've been fighting for the two-state solution.
But at a certain point, I started feeling that this model is crumbling between my fingers, and I don't believe in it anymore.
The reality is telling me something else.
Meeting Palestinian friends,
are telling me something else.
Meeting the international community, I'm learning something else.
Living in Israel, I'm learning something else.
And so I'm, you know, there advocating for the two-state solution as an activist, but everywhere I'm hearing the two-state solution is dead.
It's impossible.
And at the same time, in Israel, this idea of peace, of negotiations, of two-state solution is becoming not relevant in the public discourse.
Like there is no conversation about this.
And so in 2018, I had my first son and we were living a couple of years in the States and coming back to Israel, no one was talking about a future for my child, about security, about safety, about vision, about horizon, about hope.
No one was telling me what we're fighting for.
And that two-state solution has become an empty shell for people to talk about something but not take any action.
And by any action, we've been led to October 7th.
By not presenting a viable vision and not organizing ourselves around that, we've succumbed to this managing the conflict, right?
So we'll talk about the two-state solution, but everyone knows it's not going to work.
And we find ourselves in international, very, very important forums with serious decision makers who say two-state solution.
We know it's never going to happen.
So in a way, for me, I was taking the life of my children into my own hands.
