Are the Palestinians terrorists or people fighting for their own state?  Were the Irgun terrorists or people fighting for their own Jewish state?  Would your view of the Palestinian cause change if they declared a State and organized a formal army? Would they no longer be terrorists if hey were a state with a visible army? Or, are they, like so many other nationalsist movements in history, fighting for their cause with the only weapons and strategies they can muster? 

I am a strong supporter of Israel and I understand why the Palestinians fight the way they do.  I think Israel has to continue to stay strong against Palestinian terrors attacks but let's not confuse that with what is taking place in the West Bank.
