Reply #58: Ending the occupation

[King Mongo]

While I am against the usage of violence, I understand that people have the right to defend themselves. The difficult situation with this conflict is that, no matter what Palestinians do, they will be pushed further towards the dead sea. If Palestinians use violence, they will be pushed further towards the dead sea and if they don't use violence, they will be pushed further towards the dead sea.

Seeing this logic helps us to understand that both Palestinians and the illegal settlers (everyone in Yesha) must join forces and stand up against Israel. How they choose to practice self-defense is their choice. I do not know which methods work the best. Yet, I understand that together, the people of Yesha can succeed in gaining the international pressure that will force the occupation forces to withdraw and recognize an independent nation next to Israel in which the illegal settlers and the native people can live together under conditions of equality and democracy.
