Likewise, the Israelis have killed far more kids in the OT as
part of their land grab. If that is not terrorism, what is?

As you wrote it, I don’t think the Israeli land grab is terrorism. Terrorism
is a means not an end. The point is to instill fear so that some other thing
(even if poorly defined) may happen. The Israelis may (like every other
nation) use terrorist tactics to achieve their ends from time to time, but
the number of deaths hasn’t anything to do with terrorism.

I’m not sure I said the “number of deaths” specifically has anything to do with
terrorism. The violence, theft and oppression does; the deaths on both sides
are only a result of that.

But I’m not sure if you were really asking.
|
My point was that we can’t really pick and choose who we call “terrorists”.
