What kind of state did Martin Buber propose for Jews and Arabs in Palestine?
Martin Buber advocated for the formation of a binational state in Palestine, a position he promoted through his monthly publication, Der Jude ("The Jew"), between 1916 and 1924.1
Throughout his life, Buber remained a consistent proponent of Jewish-Arab cooperation, often standing in opposition to the official policies of the Zionist movement and, later, the state of Israel. His commitment to this cause was rooted in his broader philosophy of dialogue and encounter, which emphasized the importance of meeting the "other" with the fullness of one's being. His efforts to foster peace between the two peoples were recognized even after his death, notably when a delegation from the Arab Students’ Organization laid a wreath at his funeral in Jerusalem.1234
