This is something I’ve wondered about but never really seen an official leftist position on, and it’s gotten a lot more relevant with the ongoing Palestinian uprising. Also curious if there is any good reading out there on this subject.

Not everything has to be a state policy.
At some level, reconciliation is a function of the state. People need healthy productive outlets for their enthusiasm after a colonial government fails. Otherwise, it all descends into tug of war over increasingly scarce resources.
China handled this well, in the wake of the civil war. Cuba did, too. Haiti didn’t. France didn’t. And here we are.
Yeah. I agree, state policy probably needs to assist reconciliation. But they don’t need to decide the ultimate fate/living arrangements of settlers, and they don’t need to attempt to deport them all.
