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?

With what borders? Your insinuating the zionist entity would still exist how is it possible for palestine to be free, and for their lands to still be occupied by the zionists at the same time?

If you want a true path to a free palestine ill give it to you.

Step 1: Stop the genocide. The israeli state stops their agression and stops killing innocents. A full ceasefire.

Step 2: Demilitarization, and international intervention. The israelis, and hamas surrender their weapons, and send their soldiers home as an international UN peacekeeping force enters the region to maintain peace. Led by South Africa preferably. Freedom of movement is granted to all people in the territories, and equal citizenship is granted to all palestinians, and israelis in the unified levant territory state. The international community would need to pour humanitarian aid into the country to stabilize it at this point.

Step 3: A civilian governemnt is elected by the unified electorate of israelis, and palestinians including the millions of displaced palestinians currently in places like jordan who would be allowed to return home if they chose to.

Step 4: reconciliation. The new civilian government must decide what to do with the stolen property and homes. Most likely many zionists would flee the nation back to where they came from much like the whites in south africa did, but if they chose to stay then youd have to make sure anyone whose family had lands stolen either got those lands or equivalent lands back, and zionists would have to give up what they stole. In a democratic situation palestinians outnumber settlers so theyd dominate the new government, and zionist policies would be a non-starter.

Step 5: Trials. You would need a nurenburg style trial for the war criminals who orchestrated the genocides against palestinians. Justice would be needed. Altho i imagine many zionist criminals would try to flee to the US, or Germany.

Step 6: peace? I think that israelis who are ok with the freedom and liberation of palestinians and who chose to stay would find themselves welcomed by palestinians in this new Palestine, and while old wounds would take time to heal i do think given proper policy, and a end to the fighting most people would just want to rebuild, and live in peace. The new civilian government at this point could begin to form a new defensive military, and once it was able to secure its own borders the UN forces could withdraw.

This process would take decades probably, and would require the United States to step in and force Israel to stop its agression as Israel is a protectorate of the USA. Its a very unlikely scenario, but it is the only peaceful solution. To end the occupation, and the genocide.
