Even the Israeli's verify’s they are and “Occupation” by charging people with the crime of “Resisting the Occupier,” for if it was any different, such a charge would not have the penalty of prison for anyone resisting the occupation.

What I am sure they do not wish to the world to know, is the declaration of war against them was actually declared 106 years ago; upon their armed invasion.

Any people under the threat of genocide, to the many other horrendous title’s given to the atrocities occurring in my country, will tell you that what the resistance actually is an nothing more, but the resistance to occupation, which is a valued reason normally in any political or humanitarian arena.

This has never been the case in Palestine, where people are having to fight for their very existence.

I am finding the more I understand these men, who would put their life on the line to try to save the very people they love; to the possibility of being a martyr or prison.

I also think it is a horrible state of affairs when these very people are treated with list’s and insults by they very people that wish not only their demise, but the whole of the Islamic world.

In the normal sphere of reality, this type of charge would be challenged, for this simple fact it is not a legitimate charge; unless the Israeli government actually agrees they are an "occupation force illegally in Palestine. "
