Is resistance legal? A moral right?

A few hundred meters downhill from Ariel, an Israeli settlement, lives Sadeq al-Khuffash. He is the mayor of Marda and has this to say about the Israeli occupation of Palestine:

This is our home and resistance is a legal right. If there is no respect for agreements and international law, things will go on like this, with violence.

So, I got to thinking: is resistance legal? If that’s not enough, I began to grapple with the morality of resistance.

I know nothing else of Sadeq al-Khuffash, yet I do wish him good luck.
