do you think some people who currently identify as israeli would be able to go back to identifying as palestinian jews in a free palestine? i think it would probably be a small minority tbqh but i think it may be possible esp among antizionists / those who dont id w the "israeli" label already and among those descended from pre-settler palestinian jews

I mean it depends on their relationship with zionism imo more than how they identify. If they're a hardline zionist they're probably not going to want to not be Israeli. But there probably are jews who are legally considered Israeli bit personally identify as Palestinian or at least *not* israeli. A person who comes to mind is hadar Cohen who identifies as an Arab jew.

But also I want to say the binary of communities between "arab" and "jew" is also not accurate because there are Palestinian communities who aren't Arab but still consider themselves Palestinian. So that's why I genuinely don't understand why israeli has to be a separate identity because no Palestinian in '48, or at least very few, would be willing to give up their Palestinian identity or self determination as a palestinian because that means giving up your ancestral history and that's what makes a lot of Palestinians keep going. We look at our grandparents and great grandparents and the horrors they had to face and we think "we have to bring them justice." Part of that is not abandoning "Palestine".

You didn't say that last part it's just a point I wanted to touch on.
