So it is a fair say that the Palestinians have the right to fight and get their land back? Than, the Israelis should not cry foul when a Palestinian attack Israel.

I think people fight when they have the power to win, or they have the cause - it has little to do with "rights". Rights are generally bestowed by governments on their populations.

Of course Israelis should cry foul when attacked. Everybody in the world cries foul when they get attacked, regardless of the reason.

A better question for the Palestinians is whether it is in their best interest to fight the Israelis, or to build a normal civil society where they can, and get on with their lives.

Why do you think the people of Gaza don't declare themselves the independent nation of Gaza which plans to unite with their West Bank Pal brothers once the WBers get their border with Israel sorted out? If I were them, I certainly would. Israel is out of Gaza, Israel isn't going to give them any more land inside Israel's side of the Gaza border, the WB border issue may continue for another 300 years, and they've got some very nice beaches that tourists would like to visit. If they act responsible in 20 years they may get control of the Egypt-Gaza border and have their desired nationality.

Seems a better plan than firing random rockets at a country with rockets that are 1,000x more accurate than yours.
