Non-Violent Resistance?
The Palestinian News Network has released a non-comprehensive list of twenty options— "besides surrender"— that Palestinians can choose from 60 years after Nakba, or the "day of catastrophe." Number 20: "Write poems, do music, perform plays and other resistance arts."
I shutter at the thought of a young and intrepid Palestinian daring to remake Judy Gold’s Jewish ministrel show, "25 Questions for a Jewish Mother." Jerusalem might be gone forever.

I particularly enjoyed the “Attack other Palestinians that don’t agree with you” option…aaah, they’re an advanced culture.

my personal favorite is “convert to Judaism and claim the right of return as a Jew.”
I guess Puck, they could do that after they ‘ve done their attacking of other Palestinians.

21. Put on your best flip-flops, jump around in the street firing an AK47 into the air while burning whatever flag has offended your religious sensabilities today.
That one should be number one on the list. How can you expect them to keep reading the rest of the list if that one isn’t first?

That one is not on the list, because they have already mastered that option.
