A Two State Solution, Not a Final Solution, To End Genocide

The just concluded Schiller Institute conference in Berlin, “Man Is Not a Wolf to Man: For a New Paradigm in International Relations,” has set into motion a wide variety of tasks for responsible citizens to take up in their respective countries. One of those tasks, laid out by Dr. Naledi Pandor, Chairperson of the Nelson Mandela Foundation and former Minister of International Relations in South Africa (2019-2024), involves people mobilizing at this time of global warfare, to urgently stop the genocide in Gaza. She also reminded people that July 18th is Nelson Mandela International Day.

The one thing Mandela urged people, in honor of that date, was to devote one hour of activity to doing something for another person in need or a community. The millions of people now in the Gaza Strip, who are faced with daily bombings, starvation, and disease, is an obvious case in which people can contribute to ending, once and for all. It must be understood, however, that the genocide is not a local phenomenon in that area of the world, but an expression of the dying, trans-Atlantic “rules-based” system which would rather see billions exterminated, if it means maintaining their financial hegemony in the world.

Only a policy based on a new, security and development architecture for all nations in the world, including worldwide projects that would provide economic prosperity to those in Africa, South America, and Asia, such as Lyndon LaRouche’s Oasis Plan, will be sustainable. A new statement, issued by the Schiller Institute, headlined, “A Two State Solution—Not a Final Solution,” presents a set of action points for what must be done in Palestine and Israel, which must be circulated now ahead of the upcoming summit in New York City at the UN, to advance a two-state solution in Southwest Asia.

Today’s program will feature reports from the Berlin conference, and provide you with the basis for organizing in the next days and weeks.
