    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.
    • Determination of one’s own fate or course of action without compulsion.
    • Government of a political unit by its own people.

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