Israel is a brutal colonial occupying power which has spent the past sixty years oppressing and killing Palestinians.

Of course the Palestinians have the right to resist that military oppression and the occupying power.

In Paris in 1938 a Jewish student walked into the German embassy in Paris and shot dead a diplomat in protest at the imprisonment and murder of Jewish Germans at the hands of Hitler.His tactic may have been wrong but i would never condemn his actions !

In the war, the resistance in France and across Europe organised at enormous risk to oppose the nazi invaders.
In Vietnam, Ageria, and many other countries whole populations have resisted their colonial masters often with armed force.

In Palestinine much of this resistance has seen young children take on Israeli tanks,unarmed international observers face down enormous armoured bulldozers demolishing Palestinian houses, and Palestinian villagers and pro peace Israeli supporters getting shot by the IDF whilst protesting against that giant Apartheid Wall on Palestinian land.

Even during the current slaughter in Gaza hundreds of Palestinian Israelis and Jewish anti war Israelis were imprisoned for peacefully opposing the war in Israel.

The resistance in Gaza has every right to oppose the invaders with their killing machines.As a previous writer has said most of the killing was done by young soldiers and airmen who were far removed from their young victims...as if they were actors in some appalling video game.

Reporters in Gaza have found examples of the most appalling racist and jingoistic graffitti on walls left by the departing Israeli soldiers along with their excrement.

Of course the Palestinians have the right to resist!The Israelis have the guns,the bombs,the missiles,the chemical weapons and the tanks but they are finding it harder to win the wars and impossible to win the peace!
Free Palestine!
