Israel is a brave country. Barely the size of New Jersey, and surrounded by dozens of murderous anti-Semitic Arabian Muslim women-beating states, it faces a constant battle for survival. For the security of its own citizens, (well, the Jewish ones anyway), Israel is constantly forced to crush those Palestinian bastards who just won’t give up.
If they dare to fight against their occupier, oppressor, the entity that stole their land, imprisoned thousands of their men, women and children, starves 1.5 million of them in a besieged enclave, denies them necessary medical care and continues to colonize the remaining tracts of land under their control, the Palestinians must face the consequences of their audacity. Shoah Time!
Of course, after 60 years, most people would’ve figured out that violence is not going to get anywhere. Why can’t they be pacifists, the dumbasses?
Well, because Israel is determined to not let that work either. See, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict didn’t start with the first Palestinian suicide bombing all the way back in, um, 1994. Instead, it began six decades ago when Israel expelled hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes and banned them from returning. Since then, Palestinians have engaged in constant methods of nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience, such as marching on checkpoints and refusing to pay taxes to the occupation.
For the past several years, the village of Bilin in the West Bank has conducted a weekly nonviolent protest every Friday against the confiscation of huge tracts of its land to build an illegal Israeli settlement and for the construction of the wall. The protest attracts ordinary Palestinians, international supporters and Israeli peace activists as well as the village residents themselves. It is well covered by the media too, so the abuses of the Israeli military are on display week after week.
Today’s protest wasn’t atypical. The Occupation Forces fired rubber-coated steel bullets and tear gas at the protestors, injuring 17, including 7 journalists.
So to recap: Israel expels Palestinians from their homes, bans them from returning. Not happy with that, the greedy bastard goes after the Palestinian it has yet to expel, stealing their land for its settlements. It then shoots at Palestinians who stage nonviolent protests against this theft.
Brave country.

Umm, if this is what you believe to be the most used for of resistence then you are either ignorant or purposefully telling a lie. The Palestinians, painful as it might be, essentially invented modern day terrorism as we know it in order to get their cause into the limelight. Peaceful resistance, sadly, is the exception, not the rule.
This is an objectively and completely misleading post, and indicative of why the Palestinian movement has been nothing but a failure to this very day.
It's interesting how the author cares to selectively ignore the fact that the Palestinians were dispersed because, oh, I don't know, there was a war going on! One that Israel didn't start, thank you very much.
And let's not forget the lamest soundbyte in recent memory, 'shoah time'. Gimme a break. More people die daily in the illegal Iraq war than have died in Gaza in the last month. By using sensational terms to catch the readers attention, such as ethnic cleansing and shoah, palestinian activists do more to hurt their cause than to help it.
Again, is it any wonder the Palestinian cause hasn't gone anywhere in decades? Is it any wonder that a cause that puts more weight on violence than on peace has yet to gain any mainstream traction?
The Palestinians were offered a state. They rejected it. Instead Arab armies attempted to destroy Israel. What's interesting is that this supposed "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians is more of a projection of the Palestinians own failed ethnic cleansing of Israel in 1948. Stop the war. Embrace Peace. Stop supporting extremists who yearn for a Greater Islamic Palestine, and then hopefully peace can be achieved.
