sir, there is no such thing as a palestinian state in existance right now. yes you are correct ,the government in India and South Africa do not have a policy of terrorism.The current government in South Africa had its origin through terrorism. modern India of today is a victim of terrorism just like the United States. it is also trying to fight terrorism. but, before 1948 there were plenty of Indians who advocated and committed acts of terrorism against the british government in India. but India had the good fortune of having a clever politician like Ghandi who came up with the idea of non-violent civil resistance. I am sure Mandela and his ANC followers who are running South Africas government are against terrorism. but back in the 60s, 70s and early 80s, they used terrorism in an attempt to dismantle the apartheid system. I would say that the palestinians are in a similar situation that India was before 1948(under british rule). they also seem to be in a situation similar to the days of apartheid system in south africa. when the british empire collapsed in the 40s, one nation after another in asia and africa got their independence. if Ghandi and his non-violent struggle hadn't worked, there were people in India who would have come up with ways for India to get her independence.
