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?

Defensive tho or offensive?

Take your pick lol. Israel did settle on their land in the first place. They'll probably be a good chunk of Palestinians on both sides of that question. Some who just want to finally enjoy peace and freedom. And some who want to make sure that what they've gone through for the past 70+ years never happens again. No one that is not Palestinian can fault either of those 2 opinions.

According to Israel, those terror words mean the same thing.

Kind of like how they had the gall to use the phrase 'deescalation through escalation'
