Are Palestinians entitled to defend themselves?

Yeah, that’s a list of Palestinians attacking invaders/colonizers in Palestine. Palestinians defending themselves in Palestine is unambiguously self defense. The tactics aren’t preferable, but I’m in no position to tell any person suffering under a brutal occupation that their fight for self determination is in some way invalid.

Cool, you say that Israel is colonizers and Palestine is defending themselves.

I'll say that Gazans are terrorists and Israel is ensuring it's security. Israelis defending themselves after an invasion of their country is unambiguously self-defense. Their tactics aren't preferable, but I'm in no position to tell someone who is under attack how to defend themselves.

Unfortunately none of this solves problems for actual civilians in the conflict.
