  1. I support all forms of resistance because according to the 1917 Balfour Declaration it started then. Balfour and his colleges saw this coming. I read that between the lines in the Declaration.

  2. That's not the point. The point is whether the legal resistance against the 100-year illegal occupation will be successful. Read the 1917 Balfour Declaration. It started then and Balfour and his colleges saw it coming.

  3.  @שלומימשאט  Do you know what terrorists are? According to International Law there is a huge difference in the legal position between freedom fighters and terrorists. The definition is: “Terrorism (from the Latin word terror, panic) is the commission of serious violence, or serious threat thereof, WITHOUT LAWFUL GROUNDS, for a political or religious purpose. In most understandings of what terrorism is, it must involve illegal violence, usually linked to civilians and victims. This means that Hamas is not a terrorist organization but a resistance movement that even has the right to use violence. Israël, together with the US are the terrorists because the occupation is not a legal ground.
