Working Paper 3: Socio-Economic Decolonization This paper will address the colonial-apartheid Israeli policies of economic and social discrimination and repression and their impediments to socioeconomic development, such as the permit regime, the denial of the right to freedom of movement and natural resources, and the imposition of neoliberal economic policies on Palestinians. It will then counter these policies by applying the three-tiered framework to the policies: dismantling the existing system, establishing reparations and affirmative action, and creating an alternative system that focuses on ensuring stability, diversity and non-discrimination creating new foundations and mechanisms for whole development for all. The paper will outline the necessary pathway to create common values, economic prosperity, and whole and inclusive development. Working Paper 4: Cultural Decolonization This paper will address the colonial-apartheid Israeli policies of the colonial education system, ethnocide and memoricide, greenwashing/ ecological colonization, and ideological discriminatory values. It will then counter these policies by applying the three-tiered framework. The existing laws and systems imposed by the Israeli colonial-apartheid regime must be dismantled, along with the racist Zionist ideology. Then, the future state must develop the cultural and educational systems to defeat the entrenched psychology of the colonizer, and to establish ways to preserve Palestinian collective memory and history. The new political structure must focus the emerging culture around the core values of human rights, rule of law, democracy and pluralism, and must center its policies and leadership on equality and non-discrimination to account for the diverse communities and groups, beliefs and religions, and languages and origins that will exist under one Palestinian citizenship. 25
