    There are many Palestinian groups calling for peace through non-violence. They are doing plenty of stuff. Maybe it gives Hamas a good PR to look like they are the ones “doing something” while the rest of us Palestinians do what? stand there and hold their beers? Please.

      groups calling for peace through non-violence.

      I’m going to assume you’ll have no problem showing me how this vaunted “non-violence” has worked against genocidal imperialism in the past. Should be plenty of examples around, shouldn’t there?

        It doesn’t work so well, but I don’t mean not using weapons… Just not having to force the civilian population to arm themselves. The UN needs peacekeeping forces to protect Palestinians, and I’m not opposed to any army taking on the IDF.
