The same eye cannot both look up to heaven and down to earth.



Gaza engaged in a ceasefire that was extremely effective prior to Cast Lead. The IDF started violating it and then got pissy when rockets started back up.

Gaza, and others on Gaza's behalf have tried the non-violent route with Israel and it tends to just get them killed and beaten, including boats from NATO nations in international waters.

You're also faultily assuming that non-violence alone is even viable in general in the first place. Traditionally unless your movement has a threat of violence or a separate 'faction' that is threatening violence, non-violence is a pretty poor strategy. The largest non-violent movements people think of were typically heavily aided by a violent one.
