I think its fair to ask an objective "what would a free Palestine look like"
I'm interested in what life would be like for folks there.
Young people seem so different when they don't have a physical or emotional gun to their back, I actually entertain the idea that young Palestinians (with aid and world collaboration) could work towards—I dunno, like Pakistan or something. I don't know a lot about all the geopolitics but Pakistan is seperate from India, thats an achievement that seems similar
Better than the blockade in Gaza and the apartheid system in the West Bank they've been living under for the last decades.
I don't think it would be a model in terms of human rights, doesn't make Israel's actions any better.
You have to make some assumptions for your question to make sense. If all you want is lines on a map, that could in theory happen tomorrow. Various political leaders could agree to it. But lines on maps don't change what's happening on the ground.
So I think the short answer to your question is, it might look exactly like today. But if you want to add in some details to your hypothetical, if you want to establish that there are peacekeeping forces or that various factions are disarmed, or some means of reducing violence and increasing human aid, that would continue in the medium and long term, then you might have an interesting question. The problem is that until you specify those details there's no way to answer the question you're asking, because everything depends on the structure of the country.
