The South-African blacks and Mandela acted against white oppression with patience and peaceful resistance.
I believe this helped them gain their liberty and equality sooner.
The Afghans are a divided people, with the Taliban being the oppressors, and the liberals as seekers of personal freedom.
The Palestinians, prior to Arafat, showed the Israelis nothing but hatred. "Drive all Israelis into the sea" ring a bell?
So they must now show more patience and wisdom than the South Africans did, to gain their independence.
They could for instance negotiate for new lands from Jordan and Egypt on the borders of Israel.
Fact is, both the Israelis and the Palestinians have a population growth problem that's not going away.
They'll *both* need new territory. And with modern desalinasation techniques, which can even be done on sunlight alone (
Freshwater (industrial scale) from seawater, on sunlight | Physics Forums - The Fusion of Science and Community), these lands *can* be acquired in exchange for good deals on farming products grown on lands that would be prepared for farming.
