Abstract
Independence by the Palestinian liberation movement along side an independent decision
making process is considered a significant step towards overcoming colonialism. That is
possible by allowing Palestinians to control their destiny in seeking national independence.
As one of many Palestinian movements, the national movement cannot succeed in ending
the Israeli occupation without ensuring its independence and ownership over the
nation’s decision process.
This thesis explores the complex relationship between the Palestinian national movement
and its independent decision-making and ruling, while providing historical context
spanning from the Nakbeh in 1948 up until the year 2014. This study is a result of the
author’s reflection on the high cost Palestinians paid as the leadership relinquished its
independence to Arab leaders in 1936. Based on that understanding the author reviews the
national movement’s ability to reclaim its independence and maintain it over the years
through various military and political battles.
This study addresses the significance of the independent rule to the Palestinian cause, in
addition to exploring the dangers and obstacles that independent rule faces. On the
forefront of these dangers is the Zionist agenda embodied by the Israeli occupation.
Another risk investigated by this study is the internal division amongst Palestinians and the
absence of a unified political program. While globalization and the global economic crisis
have also created an obstacle to the independence of this rule.
The author concludes his thesis with an analysis of the biggest challenge facing the
decision process yet. That challenge posed by Political Islam and represented by Hamas’
take over of the Gaza. A challenge that the author believes can end Palestinian’s ownership
over their destiny and independence and will cause the conclusion of the Palestinian
cause.
