In Part 2 of Donovan's 1:1 with Jake Levin, they pick up right where they left off at the end of part 2, jumping into whether or not a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine is possible, the complexity of the upcoming elections, and the power of coalition-building. Jake shares his perspective on the essential role of Palestinians leading the conversation and the significance of solidarity among marginalized groups. It's a pretty thought-provoking convo. Remember to try to donate directly to evacuation fundraisers as opposed to bigger organizations.

🌟 Highlights:

• The viability of the two-state solution

• Election 2024 and its impact on activism

• Coalition-building across communities

• The leadership of Palestinians in the fight for justice

• Personal reflections on anti-Zionism and collective liberation
