A Jewish group inPalestineduring theBritish mandatethat advocated anArab-Jewish binational state in Palestine.Ju-dah Magnesbelieved that a determined effort should be made to avert a direct clash between Arabs and Jews. Along with others, such as theologian and philosopherMartin Buber, he helped to form in 1942 a group called Ihud. It advocated a binational solution to the problem of Palestine and argued for that view before theUnited Nations Special Committee on Palestine. After the establishment of Israel, hhud (and Magnes) argued for the establishment of a confederation in the Middle East that would include Israel and Arab states.
