Realistically, how can Palestine gain it's freedom? (suppo.fi)

We know what happens with peaceful protests, elections, and foreign interference (and more foreign interference), so how can Palestine gain it's freedom? Any positive ideas are welcome, because this situation is already a humanitarian crisis and is looking bleaker by the day.

Historical references are also valuable in this discussion, like slave revolts or the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, although hopefully in the case of Palestine a peaceful and successful outcome can be achieved, as opposed to some of the historical events above.

Leftist government in Israel (like Rabin) would help

China having more global influence than USA would help

Last thing we need is more superpowers meddling in the Middle East.

Last thing we need is more superpowers meddling in global affairs. The Middle East is the only place that would benefit from more superpowers meddling in it, because at least it'd be harder for Israel to genocide the Palestinians.

This presumes the global superpowers added to the mix are against genocides. Neither you no the person you are responding to specified that.

That's right and from the looks of it genociders of a feather stick together (Germany).

They already are. Do you think Biden is just sitting on his ass thinking of his cousin?

They're already heavily involved.
