Amnon Raz-Krakotzkin gives a talk on the idea of binationalism that came up among a “small group of Jewish intellectuals who, ..., ‘introduced the idea of binationalism into the discussion of Zionism and Palestine’ (quote A. Raz-Krakotzkin). The small organization they established in 1926 was called Brit Shalom, i.e. Covenant of Peace, and advocated a binational state in Palestine, based on equal rights and the partnership of Arabs and Jews. Members of this group of whom many came from a German-Jewish milieu were, among others, Gershom Sholem, Martin Buber and Hannah Arendt.” (Wolf Lepenies, Introduction)
