Gershom Gorenberg has an unbelievably good article in The Weekly Standard taking a look at the possibility of a genuinely non-violent Palestinian resistance — one set to the mold of Gandhi and King. He looks at the people advocating such a stance today, the reasons why it hasn’t manifested in the past, and the barriers to producing such a movement in the future. It is a stellar, nuanced, fascinating read that I can’t recommend highly enough.
I give some more specific thoughts at my own place, focusing on how the functional bleeding together of separate Palestinian political aspirations (good: ending the occupation, getting an independent state; bad: destroying Israel, expelling, killing, or subjugating the Jewish inhabitants) poses a specific and lethal barrier to the type of politics Gorenberg imagines.
