I just read that Rachel Zegler shared the trailer for Snow White and commented attached to it, '....and always remember, free Palestine.'

It just got me thinking, what does 'Free Palestine' or 'A Free Palestine' mean to you?

What is it you would want to see in order to be satisfied that Palestine is free and Palestinians are free?

A thought terminating cliche like Transwomen Are Women and Just Stop Oil. It doesn't mean anything. Just signals your in-group status.

I just roll my eyes when I see it thinking they’re either anti semites or useful idiots who have no understanding of the situation.

This.

Its a nonsense term, they will never be free from Israeli oppression and never be free from Hamas or groups like Hamas.
The people of the region are caught i a self perpetuating loop of hatred.

Free Palestine from Hamas

To me it means a two state solution where Israel and Palestine are merely neighbouring states. Israel will not have control over the water/electricity/movement of people/ taxes/ Internet/ imports etc.

Both countries will accept their borders and not seek to increase their land mass.

Palestine will have full control of it's people and parliament and be recognized by the world as an independent state.

But a special relationship will exist between the two that respects their integrated traditions and history.
Like Ireland and England.

Nobody? I get that it's perhaps a difficult and complex question to answer, but surely someone must have an understanding of what it means and how it should be achieved?
