What methods have Palestinians used to resist Israeli occupation?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Palestinian resistance methods have ranged from peaceful protests to hurling rocks and insults at Israeli soldiers to bombings and other acts of violent terrorism. It does not appear to have been a coordinated resistance, but rather a popular resistance by many individuals and groups; with some Palestinians willing to use more extreme methods than others.

What did Gandhi do about imperialism?
He opposed it by using methods of non-violent protest. For example, according to colonial laws in India, Indians were not allowed to make their own salt, but had to buy it from British stores. As a result, he organized a march to see so that Indians could create their own sea salt. When the British tried to stop them, they just kept coming, but refused to violently resist the attacks of the soldiers. This created sympathy for the Indians and against the Occupation.
Can someone explain carefully how the Israeli-Palestinian conflict started from the beginning and how has it evolved?
Note: ANY answer to this will be influenced by the biases and prejudices of the author since the question is looking for a thematic discussion of the conflict.Answer 1The main reason the conflict started was because Israelis think the land is theirs but in the other hand Palestinians think the land belongs to them. Yasser Arafat the leader of Palestine and Yitzhak Rabin the prim minister of Israel have shook hands to make a peace process but the ended in war over and over to this very day.Answer 2The Conflict has four major periods which will be discussed herein.1) British Mandate Period:This period was characterized by a British Mandatory Government controlling the area called the British Mandate of Palestine. Some of the major events during this period were the increased Jewish immigration to the Mandate of Palestine and their modernization of the territory. This brought in Arab immigration from neighboring territories who wished to live in the more sanitary and developed conditions in Palestine. This combined immigration led to massive population increases. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Jewish population was becoming more significant and Arab leaders and militias urged the British to prevent further Jewish immigration. This resulted in the British rescinding Jewish immigration rights to the territory and culminated with the 1939 White Papers permitting only nominal Jewish immigration. During World War II, Palestine remained off-limits to Jews wishing to flee the Holocaust. This, combined with the White Papers, led many Jewish leaders to openly resist the British Occupation. In 1947, the British relented and brought the Palestinian and Jewish question to the United Nations. The slaughter of the Holocaust and American and Soviet pressure galvanized the world to provide for a Jewish State and an Arab State. The Palestinian Jewish population (who could anachronistically be called Israelis) approved of the Partition whereas the Palestinian Arab population refused further territorial concessions.2) 1948-9 War and ArmisticesWhen the United Nations passed Resolution 181, the Arabs rejection of the plan lead to skirmishes between Jewish Militias and Arab Militias. In 1948, when the British announced the end of the Mandate, the Jewish Settlement used the opportunity and the legal avenue opened by Resolution 181 to declare a State (Israel). The day after, seven Arab armies from neighboring countries joined with the Arab Militias already operating. As the fighting progressed, Israel was able to repel the invaders and claim about 78% of British Mandate of Palestine as the grounds of their new state. The War is considered by most to be an Israeli Victory.Throughout the fighting (from 1947-1949) numerous Palestinians were forced from their homes inside what would become Israeli territory. Other Palestinians left in fear that they too could be attacked and forced to leave. This climate of fear and and desire to leave was increased by Arab leaders who encouraged such activities claiming that it would get civilians out of the way while the fighting occurred. After the War and the elimination of Israel, the Palestinians would return without issue. This did not happen as Israel was victorious. Palestinians call this event (the overall war and removal from their homes) the Nakba or Great Catastrophe. Israel has refused the Right of Return for Palestinians claiming that if it did so, it would no longer have a Jewish majority, putting the entire purpose of a Jewish State in jeopardy.Additionally, Jews from elsewhere in the Middle East (from Arab countries and Turkey) fled to Israel (in roughly equal numbers) in the wake of mass Arab Anti-Semitism, which had been growing since the early 1940s. Jews in Arab countries were subject to discriminatory treatment, pogroms, executions, and humiliations prior to their flight to Israel.As a result of the war, there was also a semi-viable State of Israel and remaining Palestinian territories were occupied by other Arab Nations. As a result of the 1948-9 Arab-Israeli War, Israel now occupied 78% of the Mandate of Palestine. During this period, Israel was considered weak by both allies and enemies and was treated to belligerent treatment from its neighbors (even during the "peace"). Syrian missiles rained down on the Galilee lowlands periodically, Egyptians cut off Israeli shipping through the Suez Canal (leading to the Suez Crisis of 1956), skirmishes in the water occurred, and the Old City was forcibly cleansed of its Jewish inhabitants by Jordanian forces. Palestinian rights were also suppressed by the Arab States as Jordan militarized the West Bank and Egypt openly annexed Gaza after watching its Palestinian Puppet State fail. The Egyptians openly taunted Israel and amassed troops at the Israeli border in 1967 in order to eradicate the country.3) Expansive Israeli PeriodThis period is characterized by an Israeli State that acquired (through war) numerous additional territories from Arab States. During this period, most Arab States (Egypt excepted) refused to negotiate with Israel and therefore did not successfully reacquire these lands. The Six Day War completely changed the dynamic of Arab-Israeli relations. Israel was now negotiating from a place of strength and ceding territories for peace. Among the territories now under Israeli military authority were what have since been called "the Palestinian Territories" of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The Israeli Military Occupation attempted to maintain law and order in these regions. Although, Palestinians did have a hard time under occupation, there was no real international non-Arab support for Palestinian self-determination. Many Palestinians sought work in Israel and numerous Israeli companies hired Palestinians as lower-class laborers. This would continue until the late 1980s with the Intifada leading to border closures.However, the conditions were still less than desirable which lead to the formation of the Terrorist and Paramilitary organization called the Palestine Liberation Organization, whose intent was to create a self-sovereign Palestine. The Palestine Liberation Organization was (of course) illegal in Israel and the Occupied Territories. In 1970, they attempted to launch a coup d'état in Jordan which resulted in their expulsion from that country. They tried out a few other countries like Tunisia and Libya before being kicked out of those countries as well. They eventually found refuge in Southern Lebanon creating their own state-within-a-state and eventually leading to the Lebanese Civil War, which expelled them from Lebanon in 1982. A smaller, more Islamist Paramilitary and Terrorist Organization called Hamas was developing concurrently in Syria and refused to join up with the PLO since they considered the PLO too secular.4) Palestinian Intifada and the Palestinian StatesThis period is characterized by the creation of the Palestinian Authority and beginnings of a Palestinian State in the West Bank and Gaza Territories. Following the eviction of the PLO from Lebanon, they eventually made their way into the West Bank and were able to coordinate an Intifada or an Uprising of Palestinians. The Palestinian Uprising began to show Palestinian dissatisfaction with the continuing Israeli military occupation of the territory and lasted from 1987-1993. In 1993, the Oslo Accords were signed, granting recognition to a new body called the Palestinian Authority which would be responsible for governing Palestinian affairs. Most of the members of the PA were former members of the PLO who were among the moderate members of the organization. In the wake of the Oslo Accords, Jordan finalized a Peace Treaty with Israel in 1994. Israel ceded discrete pieces of land to the PA, but refused to give up large chunks of land until 2005 when it ceded all of Gaza to the PA. In 2000, the Second Palestinian Intifada began in response to Palestinian anger over perceived Israeli intransigence in devolving more power. This intifada lasted until 2005 and was considered a loss by Palestinians. In 2007, the Palestinian Elections sparked a civil war between Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah (the remnant of the PLO in the PA), leading to the former controlling Gaza exclusively and the latter controlling the West Bank exclusively. Hamas continued to exhibit bellicose behavior, bothering both Israelis and Egyptian Military leaders (who termed the territory Hamastan). Responding to constant civilian bombardment, Israel invaded Gaza in December of 2008 in what resulted in nearly 1400 Palestinian Civilian casualties.

Who do the Palestinian Islamic Jihad threaten?
Jihad is a misunderstood concept to the world. The major Jihad is actually the struggle between yourself. A good Mujahid is the one who is able to resist the bad desires to lie, cheat, steal, kill etc. However there is the minor Jihad as well, which is the fight to defend the religion against attackers and invaders. In Palestine, the mujahideens are in a war with Israel. But for your information, It is only that those mujahideens are trying to protect their country. Israelis say it is their country and they have the duty to fight the Palestinians to take it back, and the Palestinians say it is originally their country and they have the duty to protect it. It is a conflict between Palestinian Muslims and Israeli Jews, as visualized by western and Israeli media. Refer to the related question below for more information.

If you are talking about self-defence against rockets carrying explosives, yes he does. Otherwise, please pay attention to whether the information you have about Israeli forces is correct; as the Gaza campaign has been the focus of an extensive propaganda effort by Hamas designed to distract attention from their own atrocities. Information about the rocket attacks. Terrorists or freedom fighters depending on your point of view continue to resist the Israeli occupation with rocket attacks. The reality is the rockets contain no warhead and no guidance system. It can argued that the rockets are nothing more than a large firework with no powder. The mortality rate from rocket attacks since 2001 in Israel is 0.002%

Why was there a 22 day war in Gaza?
1). Gaza is under military occupation. Article 42 of the Hague Regulations stipulates, a "territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army," and that the occupation extends "to the territory where such authority has been established and can be exercised." Similarly, in the Hostage Case, the Nuremberg Tribunal held that, "the test for application of the legal regime of occupation is not whether the occupying power fails to exercise effective control over the territory, but whether it has the ability to exercise such power." Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip, like those in the West Bank, continue to be subject to Israeli control. For example, Israel controls Gaza's air space, territorial waters, and all border crossings. Palestinians in Gaza require Israel's consent to travel to and from Gaza, to take their goods to Palestinian and foreign markets, to acquire food and medicine, and to access water and electricity. Without Israel's permission, the Palestinian Authority (PA) cannot perform such basic functions of government as providing social, health, security and utility services, developing the Palestinian economy and allocating resources. 2). Terrorists or freedom fighters depending on your point of view continue to resist the Israeli occupation with rocket attacks. The reality is the rockets contain no warhead and no guidance system. It can argued that the rockets are nothing more than a large firework with no powder. The mortality rate from rocket attacks since 2001 in Israel is 0.002% 3). In January of 2009, Israel broke the peace and launched operation 'Cast Lead' a massive military offensive against a civilian population. It banned foreign press from entering Gaza. It used white phosphorus (a chemical weapon) on UN sanctioned hospitals and schools (a war crime). Within 23 days the death toll had reached 1,284 Palestinians dead, 6 IDF by enemy fire and 3 IDF by friendly fire. When the operation had finished Israel had claimed more land from the Gaza strip in the name of security zones for their protection. The following links detail some of the incidents that took place during 2009.
