"No government" is precisely the problem with Palestine. The IDF "administers" the region by doing whatever-the-fuck-they-want with Palestinians who have no rights, no government to protect them, no "real" legal recourses against abuse, torture, murder, theft, and all the other shit we hear about.
If anybody thinks government is always the problem and offers no solutions in return , then prove it to me. Go move to Gaza where there is no government. It ought to be the libertarian mecca you've always dreamed of.
It would be magical if there were some other deeply indoctrinated system by which people came to the defense of each other when needed, such that this positive function of government were fully distributed among the people and there was no central government. But AFAIK nobody has figured out the magic necessary for a large group of people to have this property. The property that large groups of people have instead is belief in and respect of a hierarchy of power. And according to some psychologists like Jordan Peterson, that hierarchy idea goes all the way back to lobsters, so not easy to replace with a better idea among humans. Maybe A.I. could do it.
