Good point, militant resistance is an act of war.

The issue is that Israel is engaged in the form of local colonialism employed by [Nazi Germany](https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-global-history/article/colonial-crossovers-nazi-germany-and-its-entanglements-with-other-empires/E71F372A95F984784090512D88107C22). Though less kind than the Waffen SS, Israel seeks the same ends. That is bound to arouse resistance by those being colonized.
