According to International law, an occupied nation can fight its occupier. And as the saying goes: One person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter.
I would also add that this is yet another example of how taking the Second Amendment out of the context of a "well regulated militia" is a bad idea.
As they say, you can give someone a gun, but there's no guarantee where they will point it.
UN Resolution/45/130:
"Reaffirms the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial domination, apartheid and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle; "
UN General Assembly Resolution 37/43 (December 3, 1982) specifically mentions the Palestinians, "Considering that the denial of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination, sovereignty, independence and return to Palestine and the repeated acts of aggression by Israel against the people of the region constitute a serious threat to international peace and security." That resolution goes on to say: "Reaffirms the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for their independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial domination, apartheid and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle. "
Despite the UN having allowed for the Zionist state to be created at the detriment of the Palestinian people, the change in makeup of the United Nations has led to a change in attitude toward this issue. Although, UN resolution 194 from 1948 did grant the Palestinians the right of return to the lands they were ethnically cleansed from.
So, while people might want me to condemn Hamas for its activities, which they may seem extreme: Hamas is engaging in a legitimate action to recover the land stolen from the Palestinian people. And 75 years of ethnic cleansing have only made the situation worse.
Yes, the solution is simple: Palestinians are allowed to return to their land. The truth about the ethnically pure state of Israel need to be made more widely available outside of Israel.
And people like Ben Shapiro get shown up for being the loudmouth dickheads they are for trying to justify crimes against international law. As Ben points out, there are 400 million arabs. There are also 2 billion Muslims.
Anyway, if you want to say that the Second Amendment is about fighting tyrannical governments, then you should be cheering the Palestinians.
Not the IDF.
