He was a major supporter of the One State Solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

“The Arab-Zionist conflict did not begin in 1948 but rather long before it,” Abunimah maintained in a 2009 lecture. It began, he said, “when the Zionists came to Palestine in the beginning of the last century, and was exacerbated with the appearance of the refugee problem.” He made the following argument: “If for example the Jews returned to their original countries, those countries would be shocked, and those are their countries who exported them to Palestine. So how can these countries, most of which sing the praises of democracy and human rights, be silent about the right of return of the Palestinian people, the people and owners of the land, to their villages and cities?” He also claimed that “Zionism is strong, but it has not been renewed or rooted in the land of Palestine, and the Palestinians hold their land and identities dearly and are on their way to a majority.”

In a post on Electronic Intifada in January 2009, headlined “Why Israel Won’t Survive,” Abunimah wrote that Israel was created by “the ethnic cleansing of Palestine’s non-Jewish majority Arab population,” and “has been maintained in existence only through Western support and constant use of violence to prevent the surviving indigenous population from exercising political rights within the country, or returning from forced exile.” Abunimah expressed his belief that the intention of the peace process was to normalize Israel as a Jewish state and gain Palestinian blessing for their own subjugation. He compared Israel to apartheid South Africa, saying Israel makes “South Africa’s apartheid leaders look wise, restrained and humane by comparison.” In addition, he also approvingly cites comparisons of Israel to Nazi Germany made by Gerald Kaufman. In 2010, he tweeted that “Supporting Zionism is not atonement for the Holocaust, but its continuation in spirit” and has also said “Zionism is one of the worst forms of anti-Semitism in existence today”. He has acknowledged the potential for anti-Jewish violence in Israel should a one-state solution be realized, stating in a Q&A at a 2009 conference at Hampshire College: “You can never have an absolute guarantee about what the future will be like. … You cannot guarantee that if there was a one-state solution it wouldn’t, it would be…the best scenario is if it’s more in the direction of South Africa and Northern Ireland than Zimbabwe. But we couldn’t rule out, you know, some disastrous situation, like Zimbabwe.”

Abunimah played a key role in the Gaza Freedom March in 2009, a joint effort with Codepink to bring humanitarian relief to Gaza via the Rafah border crossing with Egypt. Though he did not join the later Freedom Flotilla I voyage and was not part of the Free Gaza movement boat projects, Abunimah asserted that the participants in the flotilla had acted peaceably and that they did not intend to kill the IDF soldiers who boarded the ship. Brian Stelter of The New York Times commented in an article on June 1, 2010, that video evidence appeared to contradict Abunimah’s account of events on the Mavi Marmara. Among the evidence were two videos which were uploaded by the North American Desk of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Spokesperson’s Office on May 31, 2010, and which show flotilla activists on the Mavi Marmara attacking Israeli soldiers attempting to board the ship. However, most of the video footage from passengers had been confiscated by the IDF. Footage that was smuggled out later clearly showed the commandos attacking the passengers.
