The Palestinians have no right to a State. No one has a right to a
State. A State inherently violates individual rights!

I'd be interested in the libertarian take on the arguments. Precisely
when is it reasonable to strap bombs ones body and kill non-military
personnel to eliminate the "oppressors"?

After all, aren't the Palestinians simply trying to create an
independent state where they can have "self-direction" (principle 6) and
just opposing "authoritarian social control" that prevents a "open"
society (principle 5)?
