What are Palestinian interests, how are they defined by Palestinian leaders and are Palestinian leaders dangerous demagogues and grifters who are repeating tragic Palestinian history and leading their people down the road of doom, tragedy and exile? How do Palestinian political movements uniformly define Palestinian interests and are there any divergences between them?
All Palestinian movements support the claim to ”return” of descendants of Palestinian refugees and who never lived in Israel but have been raised in vicious Jew hatred by the Palestinian movements. Sometimes more sophisticated Palestinians will offer Israeli Jews to remain in an Arab state encompassing the entire area between the river and the sea. What kind of offer is this and why is it made? The consensus among Palestinians is that the Israeli Jews must be expelled to countries from which their ancestors immigrated to Israel but the goal of the Palestinian movements is more radical – total extermination of all Jews. This is sometimes publicly stated by Palestinian officials and has always been the goal of the Palestinian movement before and long since after the Holocaust. The ”offer” is provided by some Palestinians as ”an alternative” to exile and genocide where Israeli Jews ostensibly would be ”equal citizens” among the most Anti-Jewish people in the world where 97% are Jew haters and furthermore incapable of democracy as alas are still most Arab peoples. When Palestinians had the opportunity to have freedom and representative government they unanimously voted for enemies of open society. So how would such an hypothetical state from the river to the sea be democratic with a Palestinian Anti-Jewish majority?
So what about the so-called ”two-state solution, what does it mean and what is its purpose in Palestinian discourse? The so-called ”two-state solution” is perceived as a a precursor to the judenrein so-called ”one-state solution”, or to put it differently, a step in the intended direction. However, the Palestinian movements are ferociously opposed to a negotiated settlement and end of conflict (usually referred to as ”the liquidation of the Palestinian issue”) which wherefore is not possible at all. Their goal and what they imagine is the world imposing sanctions on Israel and in their fantasy forcing Israel to unconditionally withdraw to the lines of the 1949 Jordanian-Israeli armistice agreement which explicitly stated that these were not to be considered international borders. After that they imagine would Israel be forced to accept and receive millions of descendants of former Palestinian refugees and then the final solution would once more implemented and completed.
Thus there is no possibility of a negotiated two-state solution, this is a pipe dream which will never be realized unless there is comprehensive de-radicalization throughout Palestinian society. Sanctions on Israel are meant to weaken Israel economically and militarily so that Israel can be militarily overwhelmed and its Jewish population exterminated.
But practically speaking, what would be the real consequences of a unilateral Israeli withdrawal from most or all of Judea and Samaria? Yes a Palestinian state would be established but would wage ferocious war of terror against the Jewish state. Judea and Samaria would come to resemble Gaza after Palestinian terrorists perpetrate October 7-style attacks against Israeli civilians and as in Gaza would the world tell Israel not to defend itself and not to defeat their enemies and to turn the other cheek. The world would blame the Jews for defending themselves against the genocidal enemy. As the landscape in Judea and Samaria would come to resemble that currently in Gaza, this could only end with voluntary mass migration of millions of Palestinians to third countries such as Somaliland.
So what is the Palestinian interest? A Palestinian state alongside the Jewish one with Israel applying sovereignty to all indigenous Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria is the shared Israeli and Palestinian interest because this is the optimal the Palestinians can hope for and only after there has been comprehensive deradicalization of Palestinian society. It is utterly unrealistic to think that Israel would ever agree to indefensible borders (especially after October 7) so this is what both Israelis and Palestinians should aim for. Importantly, selling pipe dreams and fantasies about genocide against the Jewish people does not serve the Palestinian interest.
