“Israel has a right to protect its citizens from violence by Palestinian armed groups but, in doing so, it must comply with international law,” said Pillay.
The Palestinians decided to carry arms because there is no way that they could remove the foreigners in their country using their fists! The French remained in Algeria for 130 years and they had made it very clear that they will never leave Algeria but they did leave Algeria and the reason was because the National Liberation Front of Algeria who were determined to remove the foreigners. The French decided to fight back and therefore it took eight more years of war and thousands of people killed when the French finally recognized that there was no way they could remain. The Jews in Palestine would have left a long time ago if America was not using its power to protect the Jews from the indigenous population.
