How is the deliberate targeting of civilians an inevitable act of desperation?
I never understood this concept. How can someone say if a group of people are oppressed it is only natural that they will lash out and attack a civilian population.
If it was the military or goverment that was harming them I could understand, but civilians that just happen to be easier targets?
Please if such things are inevitable remind me when Jewish groups started to kill German civilians either during or after the Holocaust. During the programs did any one say lets go out and rape and pillage the near by Russian village because it happened to us.
Maybe someone should tell the Tibetans that it is inevitable that they blow up bulidings in Shanghai

In case you haven't noticed, but the rules of war haven't been followed in generations. Guerrilla warfare is the trend now, especially by those who feel they have nothing to lose. Granted, not every oppressed person feels that way, some are intelligent enough to stop the cycle of violence, and bite their tongue to keep from saying something even though they feel like they're going to burst. That is the higher road, and it is very difficult to follow, that is why it is easier to give up and turn away from what is the right thing to do. Regardless of one's religion, every teaching and every following is looking for peace, defending one's self is quite another thing, but, never have I ever read or heard that one should start any war, any trouble, at any time. Even when we are young, we are told "ignore the bully", "rather than fight with fists, outwit your opponent with words" - hence, knowledge is the best weapon, and it's much more tactful, decent and less messy. No one wants to talk out problems, they just want to fight. And the even lower people are the ones who recruit people to go out and do the dirty work for them. It is quite normal for those being oppressed to want to stand up for themselves and fight back, revolts are natural, but, they are not rational, neither is the behavior of many people in the world today.

They understand precisely what they're doing the rationale the US even got here into the moment WW was once in alternate for Palestinian rule via the Zionists. I suppose the Zionist plan is solely to with ease demolish folks who don't seem to be them and get in the best way of any land grabbing and riches to scouse borrow for themselves and monopolise on it, similar to an inbred thieving gypsy would like we've in Britain who're a regulation unto their possess. And if it divides Nations too the entire bigger for them, given that we're simply farm animals in the best way in their global domination, and it will get the process performed faster.

thats why tibetans arent likely to get an independent state ever.
as for the use of terrorist practices, how can u explain to palestinians that terrorism wont lead them to have their own state, when israel was created also thanks to the terrorist practices (murder of un peacemaker, bombing, etc) of the irgun and other zionist terrorist groups? the leaders of these terrorist organizations even became israeli prime ministers (shamir and begin)

I agree with you 100%. I myself am from Russian and lost many relatives in the Holocaust. I was called a Zhid (kike) more times than I can remember and was hospitalized once after an incident involving two bigots beating me up. However, I never had an intention of going out, putting a bomb on myself, getting on a bus, and blowing myself up along with all the people on the bus. You don't hear and will never hear me say that all Russians have to be pushed out into the sea or that they are all evil.
You don't see Native Americans or the African Americans picking up weapons and going into shooting spree against the whites or you don't see them blowing up white neighborhoods. Please, when judging one country read more than one view to get a full blown picture.
Do you see me firing rockets into Moscow? No, all of these are excuses made by those who truly despise Israel. Their hatred has blinded them from the truth. They only see what they want to see. I bet if the same thing happened to the U.S. we would have declare war on that particular country within a second. Wait, we did..Afghanistan. I have not seen to many people here in the South protest the president's decision to annihilate the Taliban.

''How is the deliberate targeting of civilians an inevitable act of desperation?''
It's not, and you should probably tell the IDF that because they seem to think otherwise.
