First off, I’m truly asking this in good faith, please be nice but correct me too on anything I saw that’s stupid.
As an anarchism, my ideal solution for Palestine is a no-state solution where people are allowed to move freely, interact freely, and work being done on both sides to heal from the decades of conflict and live in one society.
Now you folks (I love you folks) aren’t all anarchists and I’d love to hear your thoughts. Sometimes I’ll see people saying that all Israelis should just move somewhere else, but I think that’s really dumb. Both sides seem to be operating on the assumption that the other group will leave, which in my opinion is just as racist thinking as saying all the Palestinians should just leave.
So what are the tankie’s (/j) thoughts.
I think there’s a meaningful difference in that the colonization of Palestine is so recent. All the examples you give are from over a hundred to several hundred years ago, and so much time has passed that addressing the damage becomes more complex. Living Palestinians have been kicked out of their homes by colonizers and could be returned to them, whereas the brunt of land and property theft against Native Americans for example was already done by the start of the 20th century. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth addressing or impossible to address, just that it’d look different.
Yeah it’s worth thinking about asking that same question about British North American colonies not in 2024 but in 1682. The answer is much more easily understood as oh wait yes they should leave now
Yeah true enough.
