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 ? "

Just like the Jewish people have the right to “self determination”, do Palestinians as a nation have the same right to self determination?
I asked this simple question to better understand where you are coming from.
Yeah can’t they do it without affecting anyone’s basic human’s rights ?
What are you looking for behind it is beyond me. Either they can or they can’t . Some people think nothing stops them, Some people say they made a democratic choice to vote for Hammas others think Israel is totalitarian regime, others think evil west oppresses them.
