Researchers need to afford to live, and that money comes from research grants. If this was even a problem, which it isn’t, the root cause is capitalism.
or they live under a secular, democratic Palestinian state from the river to the sea where both the Jewish and Arab population live as equals.
I don’t see the people who voted in and fully supported:
the Zionist settler-colonialist project and it’s ambitions, the full extermination of the Palestinian population.
Participating in a secular democratic Palestinian state in good faith. I also don’t see the religious and nationalist zealots that make up the current government and its core supporters agreeing to leave.
but they are all in a United Front against the Zionist regime.
United fronts don’t tend to outlive the enemy they are united against.
I also don’t understand what the your alternative is? Palestine is unstable as fuck under two states. so what are you proposing?
I don’t see how a single state including all of these groups, under a secular democratic government can come into existence.
The sort of societal change necessary would require tactics similar to revolutionary China or Russia, full wealth redistribution, some form of widespread re-education and some form of vanguardist government to oversee the transition. The majority of people in Palestine would not support those measures, and neither would the surrounding powers.
I really hate people who speculate and criticize without offering any actual implementable plans.
My lack of ability to think of a solution to the problem does not stop me from seeing the issues with the ones that are proposed. (Or rather skipped past in most cases.) We all, I would hope, want to see an equal, democratic and secular Palestine from the river to the sea, but how does that happen?
If they’d endured as independent groups into the 21st century without being colonised by Europeans, as the map shows, they would almost certainly have developed defined borders.
