    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.

        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 ?
