    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.
        • The ability or right to make one’s own decisions without interference from others.
        • The political independence of a people.

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