@Babylon They aren't.
People don't really care about Palestinians or any oppressed group in fact. Even most Arabs and Muslims in Arab countries, they don't care. You will see them online talking about it when it's trendy, jumping on the bandwagon but nothing of substance ever gets done.
The oppressed group have to rise up and I don't see that happening when they don't even have clean water to drink.
We live in indifferent world.

@Miram Unfortunately I don't think it's going to be free either. I don't think there are any examples in history of an indigenous people undoing the effects of a settler colony. South Africa sort of heading in that direction, maybe...but obviously very different.
In either case, the one-state and two-state solutions are both impossible for various reasons so the only thing that's going to happen is the ongoing slow takeover of Palestine (which I guess will be a "one state" but not the "solution" that's proposed).

Very much that. As someone from a culture that's being slowly erased, I know it's inevitable when there is such huge gap in power between the sides in conflicts.
It's not that I give up on Palestinians and helping them, but everything at this point is about minimizing suffering and not even enough of it to be honest.
You build one house, ten will get destroyed..
You feed one orphan, dozens of kids are orphaned by the day due to poor healthcare access and violence and poverty..etc
