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Historical references are also valuable in this discussion, like slave revolts or the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, although hopefully in the case of Palestine a peaceful and successful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

I mean, the Olmert proposal was an opportunity. The 2005 Israeli withdrawal from Gaza was an opportunity. It doesn't seem that "freedom" was good enough for Palestinians back then.

Netanyahu has been winning because Israeli attempts at peace never seem to work.

Leftist government in Israel (like Rabin) would help

China having more global influence than USA would help

Palestinians have to kill Hamas to gain their freedom. Unfortunately, Israel blockades weapons from Gaza, so the Palestinians have no chance to fight for their own freedom.
