Palestinian Lives Lost in the Struggle Between Resistance and Normalization

The Palestinian people find themselves caught in a tragic bind between two conflicting narratives: resistance and normalization. The first advocates for liberation through the sacrifice of Palestinian lives, often lacking real support. The second calls for patience and waiting for a change in Israeli sentiment, hoping to achieve peace through normalization and concessions. Both approaches fail to provide a sustainable solution, leaving Palestinians in a precarious position, with their lives and land at stake. The article argues that neither the resistance nor normalization approaches have succeeded in securing Palestinian rights, and calls for a new path forward that emphasizes unity, self-determination, and genuine international support.
