Breaking news (if true).
I was looking at a tweet that quoted her, refreshed the page, and saw:

Is deletion permanent?
Edit2: No. 
haven't various palestinian organizations said 2-state was acceptable at various times, including hamas?
It has become increasingly clear (has been bleedingly obvious since the Oslo accords tbf) that Palestinian sovereignty is something that Israel won’t even entertain, much less a return of all their illegal settlements and 1967 borders. What the two state solution really means, unless we are fundamentally changing Israel, is the same thing as Bantustans or Native American reservations. The only real alternative that doesn’t at least involve ethnic cleansing is a single secular pluralistic state.
China, Cuba and the Soviet Union are also Zionist according to this definition (NK would be the sole non-Zionist AES state unless I’m mistaken), so it is a strange thing to latch on to. I don’t think Contra really cares and two state solution is just the generic answer.
yeah 2-state is an easy way for liberals to not have to question their worldview
Anarchists and Posadists want a no state solution.
I would say there is a difference between an official diplomatic policy and the stated viewpoints of a netizen. Netizens have more room to espouse radical policy than governments. It's why DPRK who has the least relations with other countries also tends to espouse more radical views in their international statements.
But yes, countries should at this point start recognising that the 2-state solution is dead. But that would require a broader shift in international political consciousness towards more radical anti-imperialism.
It was seen as a compromise by some organizations eventually. Never a good solution or even one that would be lasting. People flocked to Hamas because Hamas continued to fight. When Oslo proved hollow and the two states meant what they had always meant, people saw who was still fighting and sided with them.
