One State, Osama Zatar, Tal Adler, Israel

Policies of Separations and Cultural Diversity

Policies of Separations are global. Administering fear, hatred and divisions has always been an effective means to ground unquestionable rule. Even in unified federations, states and nations, differences with other states or nations are highlighted.

As in other places, separation policies are the way to go in Israel & Palestine, however, an honest attempt to promote sustainable peace renders separation policies there absurd. In Israel & Palestine too much is already mixed. Arbitrarily drawn borders can reflect nothing of the cultural diversity of the place. Among the many ethnic, religious or cultural identity groups living there are Muslims from various backgrounds, Christians from different churches, nations and beliefs, Druze with different national affiliations, Bedouin from various tribes and origins, Samaritans, Adygs, Baha’is, Gypsies, Armenians, Palestinians with Jewish roots, Jews from Arab countries, Hassidic Jews with European roots, hundreds of thousands of international workers, Buddhists, Atheists, Pantheists and many, many more.

• In OneState everyone lives together with equality, benefiting from cultural diversity and respect.

Neighbors and Alliances

OneState sees all people equal. All racial, religious, cultural, historical and biological hierarchies are utterly rejected. Divisions and Separations become redundant and a new proposal for human civilization is put forward: Looking at mankind equally and sharing resources globally. OneState therefore seeks friendly and peaceful relations with its neighbors and with all other states.

• OneState has no borders inside and wishes to merge one day with all other States, Unions and Federations globally for a more equal and responsible civilization.

Religions

As religions tend to serve as pretences for Human conflicts, they should remain the domains for spiritual practices and well away from state politics. OneState has no official religion and no religious affiliation. In OneState religion is an option, not a duty. People are free to cultivate their spirituality with consideration and acceptance of the others’ beliefs.

• OneState is a state for all its citizens, not a religious organization.

Holy War

There are many visible and hidden, conscious and unconscious interests and benefits for governments, organizations, institutions, companies and corporations worldwide in the wars in the Middle East. However, wars are never beneficial for the majority of people in the long run, even for the ‘winning side’. The massive resources invested in wars and maintaining fear and hatred policies could bring humans to unimaginable high levels of evolution in an instant, if just directed in other channels.

• In OneState weapons of any kind are illegal and there is no military.

Grateful for the hospitality, cultivating sustainability

In spite of the diverse cultural, spiritual, ethnic identities mentioned above, we are all eventually just humans, sharing the same global habitat. We are all part of nature, as other animals and plants around us. Territorial wars are a petty waste of time and energies as we cannot own land. Land does not belong to any man, we live shortly and when we die we go back to earth. We are capable of living together in this habitat, sharing the resources and making sure they are not depleted.

• OneState is grateful for nature’s hospitality and makes sure it is respected, maintained and sustainable.

Diplomacy

Historical consequences make Europe an inseparate part of the solution of conflicts in the Middle East. A critical look at the way Europe and the rest of the world is contributing for this solution reveals suspicious contradictions.

Vienna, the place where monarchs titled themselves kings of Jerusalem, where the Jewish State conceived, the holocaust cultivated, and still today Islamophobia and anti-Semitism compete for crowd’s popularity, is the place where OneState opens its first Embassy.
