If they gave up the violence and kept every one of their demands i would have a problem with it. Doesn't mean that all of those demands would be met but it would give some moral credibility. They could actually build some support in the US if they were to use Gandhi tactics. Would it get them everything they want? no but it would give them more then they have now and most importantly it would give them a chance to move forward.

There are countries all over the world right now that are occupying territory they conquered from others. Russia and China both larger problems with occupied territory and the Muslim population that live there then Israel has but all of the focus is on Israel and Israel is the only that is expected to give in. Where is the outrage for what is happening in Chechnya? Why isn’t Europe up in arms over that? What about the people in Xinjiang why do they get no support? Why is a tiny country like Israel whose very existence is at risk held to such a higher standard then countries like Russia and China? Those are not rhetorical questions and I think the fact that there is no good answer raises the question of does the fact it is a Jewish state play a role.
