	Nonviolent resistance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nonviolent resistance (or nonviolent action) comprises the practice of applying power to achieve socio-political goals through symbolic protests, economic or political noncooperation, civil disobedience and other methods, without the use of physical violence.
		While Palestinian Arab resistance often carries connotations of terrorist attacks and of suicide bombers in particular, efforts have also occurred to use non-violent resistance to oppose Israeli control of the Palestinian territories.
		The classification of this kind of resistance as "nonviolent" remains debatable, but it certainly proved less "violent" than engaging in or supporting terrorism directed at taking life or health from the occupiers.

		The nonviolent resister is just as strongly opposed to the evil against which he protests as is the person who uses violence.
		The nonviolent resister must often express his protest through noncooperation or boycotts, but he realizes that noncooperation and boycotts are not ends themselves; they are merely means to awaken a sense of moral shame in the opponent.
		King described nonviolent resistance as "one of the most potent weapons available to oppressed people in their quest for social justice." The truth of this statement can be seen in the history of the civil rights movement, and the many social struggles that followed.

		The resister's token of power in the face of the opponent's violence is his capacity to "suffer" in the eyes of the on-looking audience.
		The classic non-violent resistance technique is to suddenly thrust the initiative to the opponent, and thus also the responsibility, for a conflict with unarmed citizens that it cannot avoid and which will have the inevitable consequence of alienating a portion of the on-looking audience.
		If the resisters are arrested and taken to jail, the responsibility for this suffering is also on the hands of the government which, under certain circumstances, might prove a stimulus for the crystallization of public opinion against the government.

	Non-Violent Resistance And Social Transformation - I.Satyagraha (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		His doctrines of satyagraha or non-violent resistance and sarvodaya or universal welfare were at once the logical corollaries of his fundamental premisses about human perfectibility, and the mature fruit of his repeated experiments with political action and social reform.
		For civil resistance to merit the title, the satyagrahi can feel no anger and no violence towards his oppressor, however much he may be assaulted.
		Whilst civil disobedience and other forms of resistance could advance social amelioration, they could not establish the firm foundation for a general and continuous improvement of society or for the full realization of economic social and moral freedom.

		Resistance on the buses would, for example, mean humiliation, mistreatment by police, arrest, and some physical violence inflicted on the participants.

		Passive resistance is a powerful weapon in gaining concessions from oppressors, but I venture to say that if Mack Parker (a fl man lynched in 1959) had had an automatic shotgun at his disposal, he could have served as a great deterrent against lynching.

	Non-Violence
		The problem with the use of violent confrontation strategies is that they quickly escalate to the point where the parties' only concerns are victory, vengeance, and self-defense.
		Non-violent resistance strategies, such as those pioneered by Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King are designed to avoid this trap by absolutely refusing to be drawn into a violent confrontation.
		Key to the success of non-violent approaches is the willingness of the parties to base their resistance upon broadly supported moral principles and a communication strategy which publicizes for all the world to see the immoral and violent behavior of their opponents.

		Colombia's war is both complicated and violent: both FARC and the many paramilitary groups that oppose it survive by protecting Colombia's drug-producers, who supply much of the world's cocaine.
		But although ordinary Colombian citizens face violent pressure from both FARC and government forces, they have found peaceful methods to retake their nation that have proven far more effective than guns.
		This release, obtained through "peaceful resistance" has raised a national debate: the possibility of resisting violence without needing to use weapons has demonstrated the effectiveness of human solidarity movements.

		There is a complete compatibility between such methods of non-violence and Islamic values and beliefs which instruct the faithful to resist injustice and oppression, pursue justice and Sabr (patience), protect the sacredness of human dignity and be willing to sacrifice their lives for this cause.
		In the case of Palestine, non-violent resistance provides us with an opportunity and framework to resist, and pursue justice without inflicting physical harm or suffering on the “Other.” The power of Islamic non-violent resistance is its appeal to the morality and humanity in every person, even the occupying soldiers.
		Similarly, when resisters use violent strategies it becomes impossible to draw a clear line when violence is legitimate and when it is not.

		It also details the nuts and bolts of nonviolent resistance: which tools to use in order to undermine a regime's sources of power, how to sustain discipline in the face of violent response, and the crucial importance of entering such struggle as one would a military campaign, with a strategic plan.
		One fascinating point he makes is that this type of resistance doesn't need a charismatic leader to work, and in fact, it can work extremely well if these techniques are spread diffusely through the society.
		I agree that nonviolent resistence is the both tactically and morally the best way to overturn a corrupt political system.

		Some may argue that the goal of armed resistance is not to destroy Israel, but to end the occupation, but that is unconvincing to Israelis, particularly when average Israelis are being killed and wounded, and when military activities spill over into Israel itself.
		It must be engaged in as a serious, militant, and difficult choice in favor of resistance and struggle.
