No, I freely admit that I don't understand the etymology of the term in depth. I do understand the long-running usage as a pro-violence non-negotiable one-Palestinian-state-no-Israel statement. I also understand that it's been in usage by Palestinians since the mid 60s.

The existence of such usage is all that is needed to make it advisable to avoid the term when calling for peace in good faith.
