If you want we can talk about Palestinian armed resistance more generally with out bringing up specific organizations engaging in said resistance, sure we can do that. However I don’t see how that is any better. But I’ll try. My main point here (and the point which sparked this discussion a dozen posts upthread) is that there does not exist a political avenue for Palestinian self-determination, and the main actor preventing that is Israel, not any of the number of organization—some bigger and more successful then others—which engages in armed resistance. Israel has shown time and time again, that no matter how many people or states want Palestine to have self-determination, it is simply not going to happen without armed resistance. I bet people also said the same of the IRA, a terrorist organization which targeted civilians, that it simply wasn’t a viable actor in the region. However, without the IRA, or other groups engaging in Armed resistance, there would not have been an Easter Uprising, and Ireland would not have been free. The way the British got rid of the IRA was with a ceasefire negotiations which gave the Irish nationalists political rights. Treating the IRA as a non-viable actor would have prolonged the troubles and resulted continuing violence for many years more.
