Tufts Students For Two States Coalition

Op-ed: In Favor of a Two-State Solution

As student leaders of various pro-Israel groups on campus including Tufts Hillel, J Street U Tufts, Tufts Friends of Israel, Tufts American-Israel Alliance and Visions of Peace, we may not always agree on the specifics of how to express our pro-Israel identities, but we stand united in our shared belief in a two-state solution as the most viable solution to the conflict. We believe that advocating for a Jewish, democratic Israel necessitates advocating for an independent state of Palestine, and we believe that politics and morality both dictate the need for negotiations to ensure mutual recognition, security, and freedom for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
