@histodons@israel@palestine re-watching “The Oslo Diaries” (2018), there’s a feeling of missed opportunity shared by many liberals, both Israeli and #Palestinians: If it wasn’t for the extremists, on both sides, peace was achievable. But was it really?
The idea that the Palestinians need to negotiate clawing back parts of their homeland (in whichever geopolitical circumstances led to them losing it), is passible an explanation why such negotiations were doomed from the start. It was negotiated by Israeli and Palestinian liberal intellectuals, not particularly representing the tolerance for compromise of their respective communities, on the premise that an undeniable right of Jews to settle in Palestine.
Was wondering, what if next round should start with which parts of pre-1948 Ottoman Palestine should the Palestinians give to an Israeli state, if at all? Just saying 🙄
@oatmeal@histodons@israel@palestine Sorry, the "right" of Jews to settle in Palestine is just a cover for another colonial project, this time not a European nation is behind it, but a particularly European ideology - Zionism.
