Stop dodging the question.
Sorry to interject Skashion, and I know you're already aware of it (but others on here might not), but an occupied people has the RIGHT under international LAW to defend itself.
Yes, of course, but then the Israeli apologists are so blinkered that their logic is that the Palestinians not only have to be occupied, but somehow it's not the Palestinians defending themselves but Israel, the aggressive occupier, which has the right to claim self-defence. It's unbelievably twisted, and as I keep stating, I believe it's rooted in racism. No-one, but no-one, in this thread, would claim the Germans were defending themselves when they took reprisal measures against the populations they occupied, for the actions of their resistances. THE only difference is that Palestinians have engaged in terrorism by targeting civilians (and let's not forget that the resistances killed collaborators in their thousands). So, I ask any supporter of Israel, if the Palestinians attacked ONLY military targets, they would not be terrorists would they? They would be fully entitled to fight against occupation and they would be resistance groups who you would support wouldn't they?
