Palestinians have the right to self-determination to. And you have no right to keep that from them.The fact that you disconnect the Jewish people's wish to live in and have self-determination in their own national homeland demonstrates the source of your arguments as anti-semitism.
No one is preventing them from having self-determination. Israel is only preventing them from having the sort of self-determination which is eliminationist and violent towards Israel. Israel is entirely justified in doing so.
If the Arab Palestinians want full self-determination in more territory than they already have, they must stop attacking their neighbor and recognize their neighbors existence and equal right to territory and self-determination. The way through to that is peace.
I know that you are going to argue that the Arab Palestinians have every right to use force and violence. I agree. They do. (In fact, I'd argue that their use of force and violence in belligerent attacks on the sovereign country of Israel is PROOF of their existing self-determination.) The consequences of that use of force and violence is repression of force and violence by Israel.
If they want to use their self-determination for building an economy, for trade, for peaceful relations, for mutual benefit then they should get on with it.
And I know you are going to argue next some version of "Jews are evil" and "Arabs are just responding to Jewish evil". That is just your antisemitism showing.
