If it works for one it works for all; it can't work for one and not the other.
The questions to answer before resorting to violence have little to do with right or wrong, or justice. We may presume anyone contemplating violence will feel both right and justified in doing so. The questions are first, have you the capacity to gain what you seek by violence, and second, is your goal one which violence can obtain for you. If one's goal is an independent state of Arab Palestine, at present, and for quite some time, the answer to both questions is no. If one has some other goal than that, it should be acknowledged. Resort to violence has only straitened the condition of the people of Arab Palestine, and that is all it can achieve.
