Reply #29: I don't think your characterization of Palestinian resistance is accurate.

Palestinians have NOT always sought to "constantly needle."

Initially Palestinians sought political freedom (waited for this) thru international channels (UN up until 1967), then through its own liberation groups (PLO in 60s and 70s), then through negotiation, then thru the 2-state scam.

Some Palestinians adopted armed resistance in the belief that when Israels will quit the occupation when the price becomes too high. They learned this lesson from Hezbollah after the Israelis withdrew from their Lebanese occupation.
