Palestinian non-violence

[Max Sawicky]

. . . i.e., just stone throwing. But just as most Americans consider Seattle
to be largely nonviolent because stone throwers were a small minority, so
Palestinians consider the current intifada to be mainly nonviolent because
only a small minority of them are shooting. . . .

It doesn't matter whether the Palestinians think what
they are doing is non-violent.  What matters is what
others think.  N-V is a political act aimed at changing
the minds of others.  If others are not impressed,
you're doing it wrong.
