Mary Thanissara calls for the destruction of the State of Israel (and renounces the two-state solution)

A quote from Mary Thanissara’s instagram, dated December 11, 2025:

The two-state solution is a convenient political myth to distract attention. This is not a centuries-old conflict. Jews, Muslims, and Christians lived for centuries in relative peace, cooperation, and harmony in Palestine.

Like South Africa, a dignified future for all can only exist through a just transition from Apartheid into a one-democratized region, called, once again, Palestine.

While she continues to try to dress her antisemitic political extremism in pseudo-dharmic language, Thanissara’s real colors are starting to show ever more clearly. She is now taking a position that is considered extreme even among Palestinians themselves! At least in public, many Palestinians continue to claim that they recognize Israel’s right to exist and wish to form a separate Palestinian Arab state alongside the Jewish state of Israel. But Thanissara is now explicitly endorsing the “one-state solution” that seeks the eradication of the world’s only Jewish state.

Engaged Buddhism Has Jumped The Shark, Part One

The main problem with so-called “Engaged Buddhism” is that this “engagement” has always amounted to an uncritical (and invariably superficial) adoption of bits and pieces of western leftist ideology, which are then dressed  up with pseudo-dharmic phraseology.

The result is twofold: (1) a dharmicized politics that claims to be non-political, and, worse (much worse), (2) a politicized dharma that claims to speak for all right-thinking Buddhists.

The resulting moral absolutism leads to (indeed, demands) attacks on all Buddhists who fail to live up to a set of newly minted political litmus tests.

And now in the wake of the October 7 pogrom in Israel, we have the spectacle of a smal number of outspoken Buddhists who uncritically repeat the most extreme antisemitic rhetoric of Israel-hatred, while demanding that all Buddhists must join them in their denunciations of the new great enemy of the Dharma, the new Mara incarnate: Zionism.
