About this episode

The episode discusses the no-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, emphasizing historical patterns and self-organization over state-based approaches.

The no-state approach is more faithful to historical patterns of life in the region and no less realistic than state-based approaches — all of which have demonstrably failed, repeatedly and catastrophically. Solutions that appear “realistic” are in fact impossible in practical terms. Palestinian self-organization and agency, as well as broader Middle Eastern social histories, reveal the error of focusing on states and state-centered solutions. Modern states in the region are all of an imposed nature, with each state functioning as the enemy of a substantial part of the population it rules. By their very structure, these states generate conflicts and wars. The idea of a no-state solution represents an adjustment to the historical nature of social self-organization in the region. Mohammed Bamyeh is a Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Pittsburg and the author of Anarchy as Order: The History and Future of Civil Humanity. He was presenting via Teams September 7, 2025.
