It is not a matter of "supporting" the PLO and Arafat.
The reality is that the West Bank / Gaza situation is essentially
one of Neo European Colonialism.
Since WWII there have been countless "wars of National Liberation."
These wars of national liberation are very brutal wars where terrorism is the
most effective and common weapon - for both sides. Terrorist bombings
by insurgents; airplane bombings by the superior military side. Torture
is "de rigueur" by those seeking to oppress the insurgents.
Algeria, Kenya, Viet Nam, Rhodesia, South Africa come readily to mind.
Of course Israel itself was birthed through terrorism.
Few observers "supported" the terrorist tactics of the insurgents or the
status quo. As J2 points out - such is the reality of brutual conflicts -
and the side with the highest pain tolerance usually prevails.
Generally those with less to lose and the higher birth rate will
win.
Will the Palestinians outsuffer the Israelis? As the Israelis assume
a traditional European / American standard of living with all that
entails such as glorifying a lifestyle that abhors inconvenience and
demands instant gratification (much like the traditional colonialists living
in their colonialist bubble) they paradoxically become weaker. For
example it is now common for young Israelis to dodge the draft which
was almost unheard of in the past.
The more squalid the Palestinian's conditions become - the stronger they
become in terms of this conflict.
Perhaps the closest to the Palestinian / Israeli situation is South Africa.
It is clear that Israel's long term plan is an Apartheid State. Only an
Israeli Apartheid State could possibly survive demographic reality
assuming Israel insists on remaining a Theocratic "ethnically pure"
political entity.
Clearly just as in South Africa, Apartheid is a losing game.
