Many Palestinians and solidarity activists advocate for the one-state solution as the best for both Israelis and Palestinians. Host Naji Ali talks with author and professor Michael Neumann who argues that the one-state solution is an illusion rather than a practical and possible solution to the conflict.

Next, Israeli Occupation Forces have been given new orders that allow troops to use live rounds against Palestinians demonstrating against the apartheid wall in Jerusalem. Author and activist Anna Baltzer joins Ali to discuss these latest tactics and the broader implications they have on resistance to the occupation.

And as always, Crossing the Line begins with “This Week in Palestine,” a service provided by The International Middle East Media Center.

This program was produced by Crossing The Line for April 22, 2008.
