I didn't mean 'pathetic', like that, I meant it as in 'deserving of sympathy because hopelessly out-gunned'.
Obviously in terms of bravery it's the exact opposite of pathetic. As I'm sure you're away the majority of my sympathy in this sorry situation lies with the Palestinians.
No, I'm aware of your sympathies. I was just pointing that out. But of course I think that they did have meetings to discuss strategy - wouldn't you? There was a degree of leadership in the first Intifada which attempted to guide the rebellion and keep it going, as in, for instance the decision to abondon the use of molotov cocktails. These aren't stupid people, and if I were fighting for a homeland, I'd want to make it as well fought a campaign as possible. Perhaps it's not strictly necessary for the purpose of successful 4GW that you know what you are doing or why you are doing it, but equally I find the idea that people could be successful at it, without having reflected on it and their goals on the strategic and other levels, pretty implausible.
