I don't understand your line of thinking

The Palestinian people are already independent. So any attacks on Israel are merely aggression for the sake of terrorism, not for winning independence

If the Palestinian people are already independent them why are there Israeli tanks on the streets of Rafah and Ramallah.
Your theory of national rights then seems to consist of two states, one where it is valid for a people to forge a national identity and fight for independence and another state when these issues are resolved and it is no longer valid to persue claims of national idendity or create new idendities. I am unsure how your theory allows the transition from one state to another state?
I brought Ireland up because from your IM handle I could make a good guess as to your feelings on the issue and I found that interesting when I knew your beliefs on terrorism amd the rights of force of arms. How is it that you consider Irish terrorists were right in fighting the democratic governemnt of the UK in 1916 to 1921 when there had never historically been a nation of Irish who considered themselves just as Irish and that idendity had only emerged gradually under the hundreds of years of British rule? I ask this question as a devils advocate and in doing so this doesn't represent perhaps my own views on the Irish situation.
So you can stuff your "go back to Belfast" thing where the sun don't shine
