Should they act completely peacefully while Israel maintains settlements and themselves don't honor the agreed upon 1967 borders? Why is it wrong for one side to behave violently but not the other?


The 1967 borders, as strongly as they feature in all discussions, were never "agreed upon".

Even the famous UN security council resolution 242 deliberately does not define those borders.

Every peace discussion has used them as a basis for a future settlement, but until that happens it's premature to call them agreed anything.


I don't condone those Israeli policies, but I don't think terrorist attacks are a productive way to incite peaceful reform. There's no fair solution when one side is much more powerful and cruel with that power, but responding with violence sure doesn't convince people to shake hands.


It's wrong for both sides to behave violently
