        I don’t know I was asking the question if they can do it. Because i didn’t get answer to my question here about whether they are they allowed to do it or not .

            Well kinda, I asked if they are not allowed to do that in a way that won’t turn into violence .
            You know self determination is very general term. I could self determine at the expense of you or I could do it in neutral or even beneficial way to you. But I’m merely asking if they are not allowed.

                Do you mean shelling neighbors or democracy ? And again aren’t Palestinians allowed self determination without violence ? To me you seem to have reason to think they aren’t. I’m just trying to figure out what is the reason.

                    Not sure. I’m just asking plain simple question, that is: "Aren’t Palestinians allowed self determination without violence ? "

                    Maybe (American Heritage) definition of self determination could help ?
