Many revolutionaries, terrorists, guerrillas, and insurgents
(anti-government forces in general) attempt to masquerade as freedom fighters; trying to wrap themselves in a flag of patriotism. And while it is true, that some patriotic nation builders started out as revolutionaries, terrorists and insurgents, the Arab Palestinian are neither patriotic or nation builders --- aready given ample time and opportunity to demonstrate both and failing at both.

Throughout recorded history, and the Middle East having more than most, are annals and annal of legendary exploits of armies and kings on conquests and quests to units lands under a single banner. They were all expansionist and taking by force what they could. Muhammad (PBUH) was just such a person, at war for more than a decade (622 - 632) within the region on the road to
Mecca. He was the first among the Jihadist that raided, brought sieges upon --- using coercion, intimidation and used hegemonic diplomacy, to establish allies or subdued and suppress a whole host of Arab tribes, settlements
and cities of the Arabian peninsula in their struggle to overcome the powerful regional merchants.
they want to the u.n. and other police agaencies, which u.s. and britian were supposed to be a just ones of these police and they found all these agencies weak and corrupted by the money and violence the zionist nazi faction has. we'll all pay for our cowardice of letting these injustices go on in our names,.
(COMMENT)
One of the great problems in the later part of the 20th Century were the developments behind the fundamental ideas that:
- The Allies Powers should act as the "World Police;" and actively going out and subduing and suppressing evil doers.
- The Allied Powers should take those bold steps to carve-out places of safety and security for people and cultures historically treated unfairly.
Believe me, the US and the other Allied Powers understand the costs and have paid the price, over and over again.
As for the cowardice and injustices gone in the name of the UN and Allied Powers, that remains to be seen. The perpetual victims (AKA Arab Palestinians) have never demonstrated any propensity for heroism and justice. They are just in it for themselves, never look at the causes greater then themselves which is the hallmark of heroism. In the end, history will not look kindly on the people that used terrorism and murder in their vindictive quest to expand another failed state.

You are full of crap. History will look just as kindly at the Palestinians as they have towards the Algerian, South African and other freedom fighters fighting a foreign occupation/colonization.
(QUESTION)
Which one of these is not like the other?
Answer: Of course the answer is "
Menachem Begin." Why? Because his was the only effort that actually resulted in self-rule and a successful government.
(COMMENT)
Terrorism is “the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological.”
And an insurgency is “an organized resistance movement that uses subversion, sabotage, and armed conflict to achieve its aims. Insurgencies normally seek to overthrow the existing social order and reallocate power within the country. Used in tandem they attempt to:
(1) Overthrow an established government without a follow-on social revolution.
(2) Establish an autonomous national territory within the borders of a state.
(3) Cause the withdrawal of an occupying power.
(4) Extract political concessions that are unattainable through less violent means."
The Arab Palestinian resistance fits this bill perfectly.
