Yonni Eshpar, a young graphic designer from Tel Aviv who was among the conference's initiators, said that he put the event together because "Israel is a discriminatory and racist country and I am interested in seeing to my children's future." The group's main goal, Eshpar said, was to initiate a discussion of the one-state option.
Explaining why he wanted to include residents of the Palestinian Authority in his proposed "state of all its citizens," Eshpar said, adding "They are the citizens of this land. They were there before us. Besides, the nation-state system has concluded its historical role all over the world, from Singapore through Denmark to Israel."
One is not a citizen of any land but a resident of such.
One is a citizen of a country.
One can be a citizen of one country and be represented politically in another.
In fact, that's a better solution than that of the above conference initiator.
