however you want to do that "peacefully".
That's what the BDS movement is about. The goal is to apply the same strategies the international community used to end south african apartheid on israel.

What the fuck are you on about? we're talking about a scenario proposed by
@Zenos7 where Israel gives them the occupied land back, and you said it is totally justified for Palestinians to want the entire historic Palestine. Meaning you're totally okay with more wars and blood spill over the land.
It is totally justified. Before 1948 they had full access to that land. Then the zionist militias used massacres and forced expulsions to steal that land and turn the palestinians into refugees. They then gave that land to jewish immigrants and renamed those towns with jewish names.
The difference between palestine and israel is this. Israel's character as a jewish state can only be maintained if Palestinians are excluded from land that is rightfully theirs. Jews were always a minority in palestine and the jewish state was only created by the ethnic cleansing of the palestinians. In contrast a free palestine wouldn't exclude jews, it would merely honor the palestinians' right of return to their indigenous homeland. A right that Israel gives to jews across the world regardless of their connection to the land.
Like I've said, I'm a convert, my connection to the land of Israel is purely religious, none of my family or ancestors are from that land. Yet under Israeli law, I would be granted a right to return to israel, whereas people who's families lived in that land for generations wouldn't, merely because I'd be a jew and they wouldn't.
And I don't even think that the jewish right to return is even bad. Yes, I think jews should have a homeland where they can go to escape persecution, and the land of Israel has deep religious connections to the jewish people. More so than it does for Muslims or Christians. In the torah it is technically a mitzvah to go and live in Israel because that's the land God told us to live. Not to mention, a majority of jews aren't converts and can trace some ancestry back to Israel.
The issue is, it makes zero sense to give jews this special privilege when palestinians who were literally born on that land and were kicked out in 1948 weren't even allowed to return to gain their belongings that they left behind when they fled.
