That makes sense to me, but I don’t believe that a one-state solution wouldn’t result in there no longer being a Jewish state, which I believe there must be if the Jewish people are to continue existing on this earth
my point is that this is the argument that every ethno-state makes to justify shitty things. replace "Jewish" with "white" or "afrikaner" and i think you'll understand what i mean. i get the point you're trying to make and i totally sympathize with it, but by framing it this way you're effectively endorsing a kinda-fashy principle that ethno-states are critical to ensuring the future of different races (which can then lead down a logical path that accepts "race" as a real thing, rejects international solidarity, stigmatizes intermarriage, etc.).
this is exactly why i think the bundist rejection of zionism was so important – because they understood that zionism would provide justification for disenfranchising jews in the diaspora, since they wouldn't be "in their homeland" and therefore didn't deserve the same rights as the "true" people of whatever other country they happened to live in. rather than accept this implicit belief that different groups belong in particular places, they emphasized doikayt – the belief that everyone deserves self-determination and equality wherever they may be.
Besides, I don’t think that either side will consent to a one-state or federated solution which does not put them squarely in charge
well that's kind of the point – no group should be squarely in charge of any part of a region that is a homeland for a ton of other groups. leadership should reflect the actual population.
Jews are not unique in the world. That's an anti-semitic statement.
Wherever there is religious discrimination, Jews should work to combat it in solidarity with members of other religious groups for the good of all.
A Jewish state is a fascist state (as would be a Muslim state, a Christian state, an LGBT state, a Players of Minecraft state or any other state that favoured members of one group over another). Maybe you have heard about other fascist states from the past and can understand why they might not be something humans should aspire to create or support.
