The sad thing is that this shows that terrorism works.
The only reason the world pays attention to the Palestinians is because of terrorism and latent antisemitism to some extent, but terrorism mainly.
You never hear one peep about the Tibetans, the Northern Cypriots, the Uighurs in Xinjiang, the Germans in the Danzig corridor and East Prussia, etc... Why? Because they don't use terrorism.
Terrorism makes people pay attention. It works. As Metallica once sang, sad but true.
