I assume since you realize silly arguments about the magical leader of every single palastinian citizen doesn't exist you're retreating to such enlightening arguements as 'there are palastinian snipers'.
Yes and since the snipers are a valid response according to you, I assume you won't use them as a counter-argument.

The Problem of a leader who does not represent the people is a difficult one. I assume you are in favor of Democratization and whatever might bring that about. Not sure how you resolve the Hussein problem if the Arafat problem is a valid one. The Pals who blow people up seem to consider Arafat a legit leader - they rally around him when he is threatened - so if their bombing and sniping actions are valid their support of Arafat is valid too.

The truth is that the Pals are led to believe that through their actions they can actually defeat Israel, which is why they persist and why other peoples, such as (look, more examples, Dana) the Tibetans with China, the Kurds with Hussein, etc. do not turn to suicide bombing of innocent people.

A great majority of Palestinian people are in favor of continuing the intifada.
