Greg, every struggle is different. It took people years and years to turn to non-violent struggle. Ghandi's form of non-violence didn't coincide with the beginning of Indian struggle against the British colonials. Similarly, the non-violent struggle of Martin Luther King didn't coincide with the beginning of the American American struggle. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict started just a little over 60 years ago, how can you expect them to start a non-violent struggle?
And with all due respect, none of us know how it feels to live in Gaza or the West Bank. We can sit here and argue how they should fight their oppression all we want but at the end of the day we don't have a clue about what they go through.

And I have no ability to claim what horrors the Palestinians are going through. But I do wish them hope, dignity, and the ability to live propserous lives on their own land. I have just seen very little coming out of Palestine leading in that direction. And I think there is an active role they can play in their future, even as "slaves" to the Israelis today. The moment you throw your hands in the air, presume you are merely a turtle on its back, and look externally for your only chances of salvation is when you're in deep doo-doo.
