Reply #17: You are assuming that Palestinian attacks are for the sole purpose of ending the Occupation.

Since they are in fact among other things, aimed at destroying Israel, disrupting peace negotiations, and just killing for the hell of it, as well as possibly ending the Occupation, they aren't exactly for a legitimate goal. I recognize that my definition isn't all that good, but the alternative is to have to distinguish between legitimate terrorism (Hiroshima?), and Palestinian bombings and rocket attacks. And how do we distinguish between the two? By the goals of the perpetrators.
