The infamous Anarchists Against the Wall, an Israeli direct action group which is committed to joint popular struggle with Palestinians, is sending two representatives on a speaking tour around Europe, with an extensive tour around the UK.
Sarah, an Israeli activist, and Ra'ad a Palestinian activist will talk about the struggle, especially at the village of Bil'in in the West Bank, and show a film. If you are interested in the grassroots response to the occupation on either side of the checkpoints, then check out the dates below for when they arrive at a community centre near you. Bring your friends and family ;) spread the word...

Here's an unofficial homepage of the group, though it doesn't reveal much:
http://www.squat.net/antiwall/
The AAW are mostly non-violent, and as anarchists have no support for Hamas (as an Islamic party) or the PLO (I'd imagine at least, since the PLO used murderous tactics on civilians). I don't think there is much more to say than that, since they are an action-oriented organisation with no platform or manifesto, their ideals and opinions will have to be interpretted from their actions. As for suicide bombing, I do not think it comes under direct action, unless your goal is to arbitrarily kill as many people as possible. If your goal is creating a Palestinian state, then suicide bombing is most definitely not direct action. If your goal is to dismantle the wall, then dismantling the wall is direct action. =)
