I think that's what happens when people feel a peaceful discussion is going nowhere. The frustration only increases while available non-violent solutions appear to shrink. The Black Panthers, Palestinian terrorism... There's nothing good about it, but I find it entirely unsurprising.
Not only people feel that the non viability of peaceful dialogue doesn't exist, it is a reality that such dialogue is not going anywhere. As reiterated by the Genocidal regime's prime minister, peace in Palestine is not an option for Zionists.
The solutions are not appearing to shrink, rather the solutions are made to shrik, deliberately.

Okay, let's call it "Zionists terrorism against the British Empire".
In fact, we can even top with: "And against the indigineous population of Palestine, of course."
Are you now ready to agree that, since the mid-1960s, some Palestinian resistance groups have also engaged in terrorism?
More to the point: why tailor your own language based on what the other side supposedly thinks or says?
Instead of just getting to the point, and saying what you know to be intellectually honest?
If we are to be intellectually honest, then my position is:
1. Zionism is a colonial settler project created by British Empire, lord Balfour created it to create a buffer zone between Suez Canal and Ottoman Empire to protect British trade route to India.
2. After ww2 when British lost all their colonies, US picked it up as its own colonial entity and uses it as a military base to exert pressure in the region on oil rich countries
3. Zionists have no claim to the land of Palestine because “biblical claim from 2000 years ago” is a ridiculous pretext for British-US empire to keep a colony in the middle east.
4. People of Israel are being used to project power and fight imperial wars to control the middle east, at the great expense of the jewish people and especially global diaspora and long-term prospects and reputation of Judaism
5. Because it is colonial settler project, it is accompanied by all sorts of crimes against humanity, like: ethnic cleansing, displacement, genocide, war at the great expense of the native population that lived in peace in the holy land, before Zionists from Europe showed up in late 19-early 20th century
6. Because we live in 21st century, I dont agree with colonial settlement projects and crimes against humanity, recognized by UN and other international organizations and the best course of action is to implement UN agreed decision to resolve a conflict
