If Palestine got to have its own recognized (by everyone including Israel) and sovereign state, what other different current nation would it most likely resemble? (lemmy.world)

EDIT: I'm interested in how a free Palestine would play out in terms of what that would mean for women, gays, children, people of non-muslim religions, in terms of personal freedoms, etc. For the average citizen/denizen what would that look like?

I’m interested in how a free Palestine would play out in terms of what that would mean for women, gays, children, people of non-muslim religions, in terms of personal freedoms, etc.

I think this is a ludicrously speculative question given the current state of things, and possibly a leading one. It smells like imperial core feigned human rights concern for the purposes of manufacturing consent. That’s the reason we hear about Palestinian human rights from Western governments, human rights NGOs, and corporate media; and therefore why they’re salient in the public discourse. It’s propaganda.
