/ˈʃroʊdɪŋər/ SHROH-ding-er:
- An Austrian-Irish theoretical physicist. He won the Nobel Prize in 1933 for quantum mechanics, and his best known for his thought experiment, Schrödinger’s Cat, which is a paradox.
- The state of being in two states, in paradox; for example:
Schrödinger’s Palestinian State:
Is the state status useful for harassing Israel in international bodies? (The UN’s hyper-focus on Israel to distract from real, enormous human rights violations elsewhere). Then yes, Palestine is a state.
Does the state status mean responsibility for brutally invading Israel, ending the fiction of “refugees” and “return”? Then no, it is not a state.
— Dr Einat Wilf, author, The War of Return
Schrödinger’s Genocide
A war where civilians are supposedly targeted for annihilation, denied aid, and starved, but when a ceasefire is declared, the “victims” emerge well fed, well dressed, well armed, claiming victory and promising to finish what they started.
Schrödinger’s Ceasefire
A unilateral suspension of fighting that allows terror organizations to hold civilians hostage and shoot rockets at the civilian population.

Schrödinger’s Gazans / Schrödinger’s Refugees
A group of people living on a strip of land in the Middle East called Gaza. They have held refugee status for eighty years. Unlike all other refugees in the world, they can’t be resettled because Gaza is their home. They are both refugees and not refugees at the same time.
