You blew your argument in your third sentence. It is indeed, a Resistance. Zionists stole the land from the original residents and they have been LEGALLY resisting ever since. Would you call the anti-Nazi resistance movements during WW2, terrorists?

I call the allied resistance in WW2 allies and the Nazi partisans (like say Ukrainian Insurgent Army or UPA) the enemy.

As for the legality of their resistance, it's not legal in Eretz Yisrael and that's why they are subject to arrest or death. The basic law of the sovereign state of Israel is that ONLY Jews have the right to self determination, and there is no (and never has been a) "Palestinian" state.

There was never a state called Israel, either. Although Jews, Arabs, Christians all seemed to live peacefully until the European Zionists arrived, none of which had a drop of Semite blood among them.

If you fly to so-called "Palestine" you go through Israeli border control and when you spend money in "Palestine" you'll be spending New Israeli Shekels. When you mail something to "Palestine" it's handled by Israel.

Israeli sovereignty was real enough for 5 of their neighbors to invade in 1948 and two of them recognized Israel as part of the peace treaties they made with the state of Israel.

It's not a myth that "Palestinians" transact in New Israeli Shekels. It's very real, and you're the one lying to yourself, now.

The US' aid to Israel isn't very significant compared to Israel's involvement in US tech. Basically every Western transaction goes through semiconductors which Israeli has had a hand in designing. The aid is a pittance compared to the benefits the US gets back economically.

What planet are you on? Israel has made sure that there's no mo event between Gaza and Israel but through their barricades, which Don't allow Palestinians through now. Any money is under the control of Israel but Palestinians have been robbed of jobs, businesses, farming and any means of employment now except for doctors,who are being targeted and kill, as is their families, also the aid workers who haven't been murdered and ambulance drivers--all have too many people being maimed or killed are also attacked.

Yet, you have IOF so-called soldiers who can only kill children with snipers rifles, or attack old men and women then prance about in female lingerie(that's underwear).

the 'sovereign state of israel' gets its sovereignty from international law, which overrides national laws. struggles against colonial/foreign occupation are legal everywhere.

Sovereignty comes from a government recognized by a select population with a monopoly of force over a territory.

If "international law" said tomorrow that Israel was not a state, or all of Europe said "Israel was not a state" it wouldn't change a thing about Israel sovereignty.

Sovereignty and all actual contested rights come from power. There are no rights or sovereignty absent the force to contest those rights or sovereignty.

sovereignty comes from the world allowing it. if international law kicks in and all of europe (and the rest of the world) said israel is not a state, it will take 6 months or a year for israel to cease to exist. the world has the power to contest those rights and it is in its interest to do so.

> sovereignty comes from the world allowing it.

Nope. Sovereignty existed before "international law" aka guidelines and recognition by other states.

Read webber

Israelis will be flying from and to Israel via Israeli border crossings and trading with a number of countries like India and the US regardless of what Europe or other countries do.

The Arab world tried an embargo on Israel and they simply hurt themselves in their confusion.

the world can be the human community that uses physical force through sanctions (and maybe even a military intervention?, or rather the absence of military support?) to control the territory. hence israel's fanatical lobbying against bds. israel's 'sovereignty' relies primarily on western support.
