I beg to differ. The concept of "rights" is *always* going to be halfway because rights are decided on and granted by some authority and can always be taken away or selectively applied by that same authority. (To be clear, I am not using "authority" here in the sense of an expert, but in the sense of concentrated power, whether in a single person or a power structure, whether that power was taken or supposedly "granted".)

It doesn't matter if we posit some other higher authority to moderate the first one, that just adds extra steps to the process but does not change the dynamics of it at all.

To my mind the only solution is to recognize and embrace the already existing reality of freedom and consequences, and to reject the model of rights and obligations under authority, which is the system that resulted in #Gaza.

@Yehuda "I want freedom for the Palestinian people under a government that cares about them in Gaza & West Bank." If only people in governments cared about the people they rule over and resulted in anything resembling freedom.

Tl;dr nation states, in their present form, and nationalism are big problems and make the conflict between Palestinians and the Israeli state intractable.

Now, the more interesting question for me is exploring Israeli claims of indigeneity to the land they occupy. It's true that a bare majority of Jews living in Israel are Mizrahi and have lived in and around the land occupied by the modern state basically forever. My understanding is that they were not really the most hardcore zionists pushing for the creation of an explicitly Jewish state, though.

Those zionists who worked so hard to establish the new theocratic state were largely Ashkenazi, who have mostly made their home in Europe for the past thousand plus years (and also make up a significant part of the diaspora, my own ancestors). Through their efforts to establish the state of Israel in 1948, commit the Nakba, make war with the surrounding nations, and form a new and largely invented national identity, most of the so-called Arab nations kicked their Mizrahi populations out in the 1950s. Most of those people went to Israel, resulting in the demographics there today.

It's a story of continual displacement and dispossession of both Jews and Arabs by both Jews and Arabs for the past 75ish years (that said, it has been disproportionate). It's the result of nationalistic projects along ethnic and religious lines in the region and a fast-forwarded and bloody sorting of people along those lines similar to that seen in Europe (most recently, in the genocidal violence in Bosnia as Yugoslavia disintegrated but plenty of other examples stretching back a couple of centuries to the origination of the idea that each ethnic/religious group ought to have it's own nation state and territory).

All this is to say: #NoStateSolution please.

I support freedom, autonomy and self-determination for Palestinian people.

I am convinced that the only realistic path to achieving this is the #NoStateSolution
