True, the determining issue is to terrorize and coerce change in a specific target by making them think "there are no rules to this and I'm in danger at all times".

Here I disagree. I find that the real issues of the non-extremists are in fact strongly determined by land (as well).
Not in the extremist "we must drive these infidels from this holy/sacred ground", but as a literal space/territory that that can shelter "your" people and in which their future can be determined by themselves.
I know it stinks to high heaven of the nazi Lebens Raum (vital space) theory which led to Chekoslovakia, Bavaria, Austria and finnaly triggering WWII in Poland, but it is still a major issue, specifically hydric resources.

I must say that indeed it does seem so and my first posts did little to dispell that. I should have know better seen as it was you who were posting, but it seemed to me at the time that you were saying that it was better to always flee and take refuge in other countries than to take up an armed resistance (thus, in my view, totally downplaying a real need for a palestinian state). I should've known better than to make those assumptions about you.
I therefore painted myself into a corner.
Clarification?
I'm a pompous little arsehole who likes to feel that I'm always right no matter what and will do just about anything to inflate my starving little ego. I thought that would've been clear by now. You're just to polite to point tit out.
I'm not a hypocrite.
I don't have any conspiracy theories.
I have a one-man conspiracy of my own and a real plan for world domination (you not taking me seriously on this is exactly why I will succeed).
