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Historical references are also valuable in this discussion, like slave revolts or the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, although hopefully in the case of Palestine a peaceful and successful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.

The resistance argument falls apart when you remember the attacks coincided with not one but two Jewish observances. Ever since the hospital incident, it's also widely known for fact in developed nations that those targeting Israel have been honest about the war and is good at its dishonesty.

It also coincided with the 50th anniversary of October 7th, basically the Arab victory over Israel. Also Idk if the Jewish observances were intentional or not, but attacking your enemy while they have their guard down is common sense.

Then there would've been plenty of other opportunities, this one still being too oddly specific. Even moreso if it coincides with a victory date. It's no different from how the World Trade Center was attacked on 9/11 because 911 is an important number in communication. It's hyperstigmatization which is a timeless tactic used in terror.
