Two things clearly wrong with this article: the assertion that they are terriosts, and the general bias inherent in the detail towards that assertion.
This needs re-wording with a little more unbiased background.

I have done my best to replace "terrorist" with militant or guerrilla, and refer to how they are engaging in armed resistace to the Israeli occupation of Gaza. I also compared the US responses to the killing of the diplomats and the murder of Rachel Corrie.
If four massive Israeli tanks were accompaning the US convoy, how do we know the PRC guerrillas weren't targeting the tanks, presumably making the diplomats (in US military jargon, although I HATE this phrase) "collateral damage"? Kingal86 20:47, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Why does jayig think Rachel Corrie was killed accidently by an Israeli occupation soldier? She was trying to stop the war crime of wanton destruction, by protecting a civilian house from US-made buldozeers. All the eyewitnesses state that Rachel Corrie was clearly visible, and would have been clearly visible, and that the soldier ran her over deliberately. Moreover why have the US government made no comment? If an American civilian had been killed by a British soldier in Northern Ireland, even by accident, the Americans would have gone crazy! Kingal86 19:28, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
The tank thing was just a suggestion. I'm not sure what happened. I agree with you you in one way: a soldier running over and killing a civilian who is nowhere near a military target is definently nothing like a guerrilla blowing up a diplomatic convoy surrounded by military targets. BTW, Jayig, do you consider the Popular Resistance Committees to be terrorist groups because they have committed war crimes, or because they dare to engage in armed resistance to a foreign military occupation at all? Kingal86 17:40, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
It is not politicking to refer to Jewish colonial settlements on occupied land as being considered illegal by the UN. The UN and the majority of countries consider the settlements a violation of the Geneva Conventions. Even the USA officially considers them illegal (although it doesn't act like it) It is a war crime for a government to transfer its civilian population onto occupied land. Of course, this doesn't make unarmed civilian settlers/colonists legitimate military targets, despite the claims of several Palestinian armed resistance groups. Kingal86 20:30, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
What misunderstanding of the Geneva Conventions? Article 49 of the Fourt Geneva Convention of 1949 states, "The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies."-Kingal86 23:28, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
These parts of the Fourth Geneva Convention apply to an Occupying Power who is a High Contracting Party. In this case, it is Israel. It doesn't require that there is another High Contracting Party or state on the other side (although Egypt--who previously controlled Gaza, and Jordan--who previously controlled the West Bank, and Britain--who previously controlled all of pre-1948 Palestine--are also allHigh Contracting Parties). That would be ridiculous since occupations usually involve the overthrow of a government (thereby eliminating a High Contracting Party), and often annexation (therby eliminating the state).
Numerous UN resolutions and decisions of the High Contracting Parties to the Geneva Conventions have reaffirmed the applicability of the Fourth Geneva Convention to the Occupied Palestinian Territories including East Jerusalem (and the Syrian Golan Heights). Kingal86 00:03, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Then a campaign of ethnic cleansing, stealing people's houses, the immigration of millions of Jews (who, like many of Palestinians living abroad, were also never born in what is now Israel but have been given a "right of return" by the Israeli government regardless) to create an artificial Jewish majority was fine then, was it?
In fact why should Jews who were not not born in the Holy Land, many of whom are not related to people who were, be allowed to "return" to the ancestral homeland (some of) their distant ancestors left or were deported from thousands of years ago, when Palestinian refugees and their descendants are not being allowed to return to the homes they left or were deported from in 1948? Kingal86 00:03, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The following paragraph was removed:
The US response to the attack on diplomatic convoy by Palestinian guerrillas contrasts sharply with the killing of unarmed US civilian Rachel Corrie by an Israeli soldier in a US-made buldozer in the Gaza Strip. The buldozer had been attempting to demolish a Palestinian house, when Corrie tried to obstruct the buldozer. The US government appears to have made no response to this, even though eye-witnesses described the running over of the ISM activist as deliberate, and therefore a murder.
The reasons are:

This page is simply badly written. There is no real information relevent to the topic and I would say this page should be deleted until someone has something that hasn't been covered in Al Aqsq Martyrs brigade or Fatah Movement. freestylefrappe 21:14, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
Tom, why do you keep deleting the paragraph about the Tali Hatuel killings, which is well referenced by the BBC article link? Also, why do you continue to delete the other information, which also has two links for it? Jayjg (talk) 14:36, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I feel the article is right on the money. The term guerrilla under the Geneva Convention requires 1-a uniform or form of identification 2-bear weapons openly 3-Having a chain of command. The PRC does not meet all three criteria and the fact of targeting civilian (noncombatants) is illegal no matter who's land they are on. They are just plain terrorist. GTDewey --24.10.128.184 05:17, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
I've changed the definition on the PRC back to terrorist. I know that in the politically correct world of the European far left, a Palestinian cannot be a Terrorist, but a group who is responsible for the attack of a Diplomatic convoy (which came to Gaza to give scholarships to young Palestinians..), and is responsible for the murder of a mother and her for daughters (aged 2 to 11), IS a terrorist group. Not militant group. Not Guerilla group.
For various reasons:
This is a conflict in which a little coolness on all sides is needed, and trying to make a point is not a good way of editing.--Cerejota 01:55, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

WP:TERRORIST, people. That said, I have no problem with the current wording, and with the link I put to the excellent resources (if sucky execution) of List of designated terrorist organizations. That said, a claim is made that is not sourced in either the list or the article. Please source in both or the claim must be taken out. Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 11:37, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

The subject(s) of this article are the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC). Yet when the acronym "PRC" is used in the article the sentences are written in the singular rather than the plural. Are we dealing with one "Committee" or many "Committees"? If it is the latter, then the acronym "PRC" are plural, not singular. I know this looks weird, but its no different from data or sheep, which are also plural. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 09:20, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
