We can say that violence that kills civilians, even in an attempt to gain freedom from an oppressor is wrong. But, the fact is that practically no national liberation movement has ever been liberated without violence.
The women that brought bombs to bars and public places to kill French civilians are now considered heroines of the Algerian revolt against the French occupier. The bombing sequence is one of the most watched sequences in the Battle of Algiers. It is quite poignant.
Should the Palestinians behave any differently than the Algerians or non-white South Africans? If so, why?
I am not condoning violence just questioning why some believe the Palestinians should behave differently than other people seeking national liberation.
Killing innocent civilians is wrong...once you start to make that acceptable, then what kind of future are you building? It's that question often asked - do the ends justify the means?
When is it "ok" to kill innocent peolple?
When is it not?
Who decides?
How far do you go before it becomes an atrocity?
Are people living on stolen land exempt from retaliation? Are they, in fact, "innocent?"
