Palestinianism in the context of Palestinian self-determination
Palestinian self-determination, also known as "Palestinianism", refers to aspirations by Palestinian nationalists for increased autonomy and sovereign independence as well as to the international right of self-determination applied to Palestine. Such goals are features of both the one-state solution and the two-state solution.In the two-state solution this usually denotes territorial integrity initiatives, such as resisting occupation in the West Bank, annexation efforts in East Jerusalem or freedom of movement along borders, as well as the preservation of important sites such as Al-Aqsa Mosque.
