Abstract

The moving of the American embassy to Jerusalem coincided with the bloodiest day of the Great March of Return demonstrations. Each of these events had its own history and motivation but they tell the same story: as stable solution could be based only on reciprocal recognition of the attachment of both Israeli and Palestinians to the whole of historic Palestine/Eretz Israel

Previously head of the News Department at Haaertz, Meron Rapoport is currently an Editor at Local Call, an independent journalist, and a political activist. Rapoport, along with Danny Adino Ababa and Oron Meiri, won the Premio Napoli, an international journalism prize awarded by European newspaper editors on behalf of La Fondazione Premio Napoli for their 2003 article “The Battle for the Olive,” which detailed the fight between Israelis and Palestinians over the harvest from a 1,000-year-old grove. Rapoport is also one of the founders of the A Land for All movement, which calls for the establishment of two independent states, Israel and Palestine, with open borders, freedom of movement and joint institutions.
