The "Pro-Palestinian" political ideology refers to a stance that advocates for the rights, self-determination, and sovereignty of the Palestinian people, particularly in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This ideology is rooted in the broader historical and geopolitical struggle over land, identity, and statehood in the region historically known as Palestine, which has been a focal point of conflict since the early 20th century.

The origins of the Pro-Palestinian movement can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the region was under…   Ottoman rule and later British mandate. During this period, tensions began to rise between the indigenous Arab population and the growing number of Jewish immigrants, many of whom were fleeing persecution in Europe and seeking to establish a homeland in Palestine. The Balfour Declaration of 1917, in which the British government expressed support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, further exacerbated these tensions. Palestinian Arabs, who constituted the majority of the population at the time, viewed this as a threat to their own national aspirations.

The Pro-Palestinian ideology gained momentum after the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, an event known to Palestinians as the Nakba, or "catastrophe." During this period, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were displaced from their homes, and many became refugees in neighboring Arab countries. The Pro-Palestinian movement, both within the Arab world and internationally, began to coalesce around the demand for the right of return for Palestinian refugees, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, and opposition to Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.

In the decades that followed, the Pro-Palestinian cause became intertwined with broader anti-colonial and anti-imperialist movements, particularly during the Cold War. Many countries in the Global South, as well as leftist and progressive movements in the West, viewed the Palestinian struggle as part of a larger fight against Western imperialism and colonialism. The Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), founded in 1964, became the primary representative of the Palestinian people and was recognized by many countries and international organizations as the legitimate voice of Palestinian aspirations.

The Pro-Palestinian ideology has evolved over time, particularly in response to key events such as the 1967 Six-Day War, in which Israel occupied the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, and the subsequent peace processes, including the Oslo Accords of the 1990s. While some Pro-Palestinian advocates support a two-state solution, in which Israel and an independent Palestinian state would coexist, others argue for a one-state solution that would grant equal rights to all inhabitants of the region, regardless of ethnicity or religion.

In recent years, the Pro-Palestinian movement has gained significant traction in global civil society, with activists advocating for boycotts, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) against Israel as a means of pressuring the Israeli government to end its occupation of Palestinian territories and address human rights violations. The movement has also been bolstered by growing awareness of the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as by international solidarity campaigns that draw parallels between the Palestinian struggle and other social justice movements, such as the fight against apartheid in South Africa.

Throughout its history, the Pro-Palestinian ideology has been shaped by a complex interplay of local, regional, and global factors. It remains a deeply contested and polarizing issue, with supporters emphasizing the need for justice, human rights, and an end to occupation, while critics often accuse the movement of being one-sided or failing to acknowledge the security concerns of Israel. Despite these challenges, the Pro-Palestinian cause continues to be a significant force in international politics, particularly in discussions about peace, justice, and the future of the Middle East.
