      Unfortunately, In Palestine this means destruction of Israel as the Jewish state. It is quite sad because there was a chance for Palestinian state from Ehud Barak to Arafat in 2000. Now, with Bibi’s government and settlement expansions, I doubt that opportunity will appear again. Palestinians need self-determination, just like every other people.
      Most Palestinians in polls think the conflict will end with Israel’s destruction. It won’t, of course.

      ​ That is a description of an independent Palestine not a free Palestine. You are describing freedom of the government to rule the people and not the freedom of the people under the government. Are the people of Egypt, Afghanistan, Iran, and Syria "free"? Would LGBTQ have freedom and human rights in a free Palestine?
      What lands would a "free Palestine" occupy? The 1967 borders of the West Bank and Gaza? All of the Palestinian Mandate? All the lands between the river and the sea?himan

    Well said. There's also a context to this latest iteration of the Israel -Palestine train wreck. Netanyahu and hard right representatives in Israel abandoning a 2 state solution several years back as well as expansion of settlements on the West bank with a redeployment of IDF from the Gaza border helped create a vulnerability to attack. Yep Hamas terrorism on 10/7 is wrong and tragic but Israeli policies that make a tinderbox more desperate don't help. It's long overdue for Netanyahu to go and for an Israeli leader with vision and the support of Israeli's to appear. Someone who doesn't believe he has to undermine the judicial system. Palestinians deserve capable, moral leaders too but our country bankrolls alot of the Israeli military so we have some responsibility for how that moneys used. How are 14,000 Palestinian casualties mostly civilians justified?

As such, how is that apartheid? 3) Before the Six Day War in 1967, the Palestinian people in the West Bank/ Gaza were citizens of Jordan/ Egypt. Due to Jordan and Egypt losing this war, that they started, Israel gained more land. That is what happens when you fight and lose.

    Unfortunately this conflict is very deeply tiered with injustices from both sides performed. However, the Palestinian people have the right to live there, what Israel is doing is very neocolonialist. Since they (Israel) are allied with the United States every other Western country is too fearful of the American war machine to defend the occupied in this situation. Even with Hamas out of the equation -- Palestinian people have been on the tail end of Israeli airstrikes since 1960. Even though the Oct 7th attack on Israel is damning, the Israelis have been doing the same thing to the Gazans for decades upon decades. The hypocrisy of the situation and the propaganda created to villainize the oppressed is unreal.

      Yes no country is perfect. Especially the US. But after 9/11, nobody demanded to "see the other side" and to "understand the plight of Al Qaeda". Israel is far from perfect, but they have faced an existential threat since their very founding, and the palestinian people have refused every 2-state solution from the very beginning to modern day. That's why it isn't a fight over land or "occupation" (that hasn't existed since 2005). It's a fight against Jews. Israel constantly has to show restraint and fight with its hands behind its back. If it didn't. Gaza would have been leveled decades ago. The difference is: if the palestinian people recognize Israel's sovereignty, the fighting stops and the annexes would eventually lift. if Israel stops fighting, the entire Jewish population in the region will be wiped out (a true genocide), "from the river to the sea".

    By the way, the country is called Palestine and has always been Palestine, even under Roman occupation (Syria-Palestina). Here are the lyrics to a potential national anthem for when the dust settles:
    In the ancient scrolls, a tale unfolds,
    A land named Palestine, its story to be told,
    Through the ages, through the strife,
    Underneath the desert sun, a resilient life.
    (Chorus)
    Palestine, oh sacred land divine,
    In the verses of the ancient time,
    Liberation's promise, a script unrolled,
    In the heart of history, forever you'll hold.
    (Verse 2)
    Underneath the olive trees, whispers of old,
    A prophecy written, a story to be told,
    In the heart of struggle, resilient and strong,
    Palestine's journey, an epic, an ancient song.
    (Pre-Chorus)
    From Bethlehem's cradle to the Jordan's flow,
    In the Holy Land, where the rivers grow,
    A promise echoes through the ancient vine,
    Palestine, your liberation will shine.
    (Chorus)
    Palestine, oh sacred land divine,
    In the verses of the ancient time,
    Liberation's promise, a script unrolled,
    In the heart of history, forever you'll hold.
    (Bridge)
    In the wilderness, a voice declared,
    Freedom for the oppressed, a message shared,
    Through deserts and rivers, the path is clear,
    Liberation's call, the world shall hear.
    (Verse 3)
    Underneath the crescent moon, a prayer ascends,
    In the footsteps of prophets, where justice blends,
    From Jericho's walls to the Gaza shore,
    Palestine's liberation, a promise to restore.
    (Pre-Chorus)
    From Bethlehem's cradle to the Jordan's flow,
    In the Holy Land, where the rivers grow,
    A promise echoes through the ancient vine,
    Palestine, your liberation will shine.
    (Chorus)
    Palestine, oh sacred land divine,
    In the verses of the ancient time,
    Liberation's promise, a script unrolled,
    In the heart of history, forever you'll hold.
    (Outro)
    As the sun sets over hills so high,
    Palestine, your spirit will never die,
    In the pages of time, your tale unfolds,
    Liberation's story, forever it holds.

      Palestine was a district in the Roman Empire and the empires that succeeded it,
      and it included what is now Jordan. Never a state, never a country.
      The Palestinians were never a people.
      If you go back a 100 years and tell an Arab from Jaffa that he is Palestinian,
      he wouldn't know what you are talking about.
