        I don’t define it as civil/non-violent defiance against an occupying power. Or being happy that a family member is released from prison.

          Ehm, civil-non-violent, eh? One of the released women is Amani Hashim (sp?) 37 y.o. from the West Bank who used her car to ram an Israeli soldier on a check point, seriously injuring him, and then waved a knife on others, while shouting religious slogans… Got convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

          I can imagine what would have happened, if that checkpoint wouldn’t be there…

            You do know what kind of ethnic cleansing and illegal settlement the IDF is currently carrying out in the west bank? Whah kind of resistance do you expect?

          Who is being occupied? Israel disengaged from gaza since 2005. Since hamas won the election, they kept threatening israel’s existence, so how do you suggest israel should respond with such threat?

            Israel is occupying Palestine (including Gaza and the West Bank). They control water, electricity and imports into Gaza and you claim they “disengaged”?

            Also: There are Palestinians in Israel. They don’t have the same rights that non-jewish people living there do. I.e. They get locked away when showing joy that their family members can leave prisons for ridiculous charges.

              Damn, how far fetched are you from reality? The West Bank are controlled by the Palestine Authority and Gaza by Hamas. Since 2005. Read it up. Israel is the one supplying water, electricity and oil to these two area because they’re not capable to produce them on their own. Let me ask you. If it were you, would you give your enemy the luxury of all of those? Israel did. And they stopped giving more to gaza after they were threaten by hamas. Justified or not?

              Again, what are your sources for these claim? Arabs in Israel does have rights as any Israeli as long they are a citizen. They can vote, they can enter politics, or do any kind of jobs. There are even arab soldiers in the IDF! Palestinian on the other hand are treated like how any country would treats foreign citizens. Of course they won’t be let freely to do what they want in a sovereign country. You have to know the difference between an arab israeli and a palestine. And you have to think of Israel as a country. They’re controlling the border? Why shouldn’t they control their own border?

                    Lol “small minded person”. That’s the best you got, trying to insult me?

                    I’m calling you a racist colonizer, because you’re basically saying:

                    These darker skinned natives had it coming. They couldn’t even live on the land they’ve inhabited for centuries, if it weren’t for white europeans.

                    If you can’t connect these dots (my guess is that you’re probaply too bathed in the consent manufactured by pro-israel propaganda), I guess I’ll be the one who has to throw sick burns like “small minded person” around.

                    Edit: And since you’ve asked for sources: Is Amnesty International good enough for you?
