Lior, and here are Omar Barghouti's thoughts on the ethical decolonization of Palestine for your information:
**Omar Barghouti**, a Palestinian human rights activist and co-founder of the **Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS)** movement, has put forth a thought-provoking theory on **ethical decolonization** in the context of Palestine. Here are the key points from his perspective:
1. **Rejecting the Two-State Solution**:
- Barghouti challenges the conventional discourse around the two-state solution, which has been the dominant framework for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
- He argues that this approach has failed to address the root issues and perpetuates an unjust status quo.
2. **Ethical Decolonization**:
- Barghouti proposes a path toward decolonization that transcends the binary of "Jewish self-determination" versus "Palestinian self-determination."
- His theory centers on the concept of **"indigenizing"** the settler-colonial population.
3. **Indigenization**:
- Barghouti draws inspiration from Brazilian educator Paulo Freire's ideas on moral responsibilities.
- He suggests that the settler population (Israeli Jews) can be integrated into a future democratic, secular state through a process of ethical decolonization.
- This process involves shedding colonial privileges, dismantling oppressive structures, and accepting the restoration of indigenous rights.
4. **Conditions for Participation**:
- Barghouti emphasizes that settlers must abandon their colonial privilege.
- Only after justice has been achieved, including the right of Palestinian refugees to return and full equality for all Palestinians, can settlers participate in determining the future of the common state.
5. **Post-Colonial Vision**:
- Barghouti distinguishes between self-determination during colonization (which he opposes) and post-colonial integration.
- He envisions a shared nation where former colonizers become equal citizens, contributing to a just and democratic society.
In summary, Omar Barghouti's theory of ethical decolonization challenges traditional paradigms and offers a vision for a more inclusive and just future in Palestine¹.
