Seiken, as I noted in the essay, the same was assumed of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and yet, Germany lost WWII, in which the Uprising was a key turning point. Likewise, armed resistance was thought to be hopeless in South Africa and Northern Ireland, but in both cases, armed resistance played a major role in ending imperial domination.

The entire world outside of the western empire (and even citizens of the empire) are now turning firmly against Israel at an unprecedented scale.

I give apartheid Israel 10 years of survival left, afterwhich it will likely go the way of apartheid South Africa. Hopefully with out any neoliberal bank loans.. 😉

To quote Nelson Mandela:

"It always seems impossible, until it's done.."

The odds are stacked against this tactical move turning into a strategic victory. Very, very significantly stacked approaching impossible.

The Palestinians have a legitimate right to attack all the illegal settlments of the occupying state. Just like the citizens of any country that was occupied during WWII had the right to fight against the invader.
