However, pre-Zionist Palestine was a place where Muslims, Christians,
and Jews coexisted peacefully, and where most people experienced
violence only rarely — likely less frequently than in many parts of the
Global North.

Violence as a permanent and massive aspect of life can only be
removed when its source is removed. In the case of Palestine, it is the
ideology and praxis of the Israeli settler state, not the existential
struggle of the colonised Palestinian people.
