Winning independence through force of arms does NOT justify the Palestinian terrorist cause. Americans fought for their own independence and didn't have to attack another country to get it.

Oh? Thomas Jefferson just went up to King George III and gave him a big wet kiss, and tah dah! Independence was granted to the American colonies! How could I have missed out on that fact? I guess I was asleep that day in civics class.

The trouble is they keep going onto someone else's honestly obtained land and attacking them without cause, or justification.

Great Britain signed the ‘Sykes-Picot Agreement’ promising Palestine to the Arabs in return for a revolutionary Arab liberation war against the Ottoman Empire (Turkey). This Arab uprising against the Turks was largely responsible for the Allied Powers victory in the Middle East in WWI. THAT is recorded history. If you want to call the British Empire the legal owner of the land, then they went back on a signed contract with the Arab people. The Palestinians have every right to be upset.
