Don't babble at me about how bad and wrong it is for Palestinians to use violence unless you can offer me a coherent plan for what they should do instead.
Civil disobedience won't work because Zionists have no conscience and don't care about Palestinian death and suffering.
The doors to a two-state solution with a real Palestinian state are slammed shut by Israel's political landscape and are being further bolted down by continually expanding settlements deliberately designed to prevent such a solution from ever emerging.
A one-state solution where everyone has equal rights and no ethnicity gets preferential treatment is an even more remote pipe dream which not even Israel's western allies support.
So what can the Palestinians do? It doesn't look like anyone who opposes armed resistance has any good answers. Really what they want is for Palestinians to just lie down and submit to whatever abuses Israel wants to inflict upon them and just slowly fade into obscurity and become a forgotten people, but they can't say that aloud without sounding like psychopaths so they just finger-wag at Hamas without ever offering any legitimate solutions.
@SeanUlidia So based on your argument, SF would be better off abandoning their abstention policy of Westminster? If being in the room is so vital, and "lack of engagement" is so detrimental?
@SeanUlidia Biden won’t ever act against Israel because SF ask him too.
Biden left isolated on St Patrick’s Day with no SF to bolster his reelection chances would be disastrous for him & might bring him to his senses.
Anyone going to the White Hiuse that day will just be patronised
Israel is emboldened by the world's inability to stop them
They are getting more help than hindering
They will run through the West Bank and jump borders.
Whose to stop them?
Remembering Kirsty MacColl RIP.
“You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night”

@Sineadmcgar@JoeBrolly1993 I am thinking of 3 small children.....he opens his article with these lines, what if he had opened with, I'm thinking of a brave woman scarred for life....ultimately Joe Brolly puts the blame back on the woman for raising her head above the parapet...
