    Well kinda, I asked if they are not allowed to do that in a way that won’t turn into violence .
    You know self determination is very general term. I could self determine at the expense of you or I could do it in neutral or even beneficial way to you. But I’m merely asking if they are not allowed.

        Do you mean shelling neighbors or democracy ? And again aren’t Palestinians allowed self determination without violence ? To me you seem to have reason to think they aren’t. I’m just trying to figure out what is the reason.

          I think you are totally misreading the situation here. /: Maybe some background info you seem to have missing about this entire issue?

            Not sure. I’m just asking plain simple question, that is: "Aren’t Palestinians allowed self determination without violence ? "

            Maybe (American Heritage) definition of self determination could help ?

            • Determination of one’s own fate or course of action without compulsion; free will.
            • Freedom of the people of a given area to determine their own political status; independence.
            • Determination by one’s self or itself; determination by one’s own will or powers, without extraneous impulse or influence.
            • Determination by one’s self; or, determination of one’s acts or states without the necessitating force of motives; – applied to the voluntary or activity.

              I’m asking because I’m Palestinian. No one talked about violence at all.
