Now heres the palestinians, the closest they can come to fighting for their independence is sending a man into a super market with a bomb strapped to his back.

This is totally untrue. Revolutionaries murdered loyalists and their families and destroyed their businesses in an effort to limit goods going back to the Crown. And at the time the combat tactics of the seperatists were considered just as shocking as the suicide bombers are now. There are actually a great many parrallels between the Revolutionary struggle and the Palestinian struggle.
Almost all of where Israel now sits is urban or suburban. Skirmishing out in the woods is just not practical.
As far as killing innocents...I am appalled by this. But you have to remember that every Jew who has emigrated to Israel lives on
Palestinian land and at the expense of the Palestinian people.
They are as legitimate a target as workers killed in bombing raids in WWII.
Whether the bomb is dropped by F16 or mailed in a box it doesn't matter morally either way.
