I would say there are times when terrorism would be justified. If I were living in Germany in 1942 and had the good sense to see things were following apart, I could hit military targets with bombs all the time. I could plant IEDs along military routes. The idea is that, when conventional warfare fails, you fall back to a more drastic and desperate form of warfare: terrorism. I think most would agree that terrorism against Nazi military targets in order to slow the holocaust would be justified. Even a peacenik like me.
I don't condone Palestinian terrorism, but it's clear that no one can or will stop Israel from breaking UN Resolution 242 and from continuously attacking and destroying what's left of Palestine. If I were a Palestinian, I might be involved in their resistance. The problem is that they hit civilian targets instead of military targets. They'd do well to read the following:
Palestine will be free when you elevate yourselves above those you face and stop killing innocent civilians. For every Israeli civilian that dies, you lose a battle. If you start to focus your attacks on military instillations at times when it's clear very few to no people will be there, and if you sabotage the bulldozers, then the message won't be covered in blood but in truth. The world will side with you when they see that you are 100% victims and the Israeli government is 100% aggressors. That cannot happen until you STOP killing civilians. You cannot have my full support and the support of the world until you STOP KILLING CIVILIANS.
