Israel and Palestine

  • The BBC has taken some stick over this and their bias, yet again, like calling the Israelis 'soldiers' and the Palatinates 'militia' (or is it spelt mallisha) and implying they are terrorists.

    Soldiers wear uniforms and are authorised to use weapons. Civilians who use weapons are terrorists. It's the same all over the world.

  • What makes Hamas a terrorist group?

    Q That they're killing Israeli civilians rather than military?

    It's two countries at war, not military-only games.

    Q That they don't have a seat in UN?
    How would having a seat at a non/dysfunctional institution help them? Especially as the UN helped make Palestinians become dispossessed.

    Q That they hate Israel?
    Since when were wars based on amity rather than emnity?

    Q That their hatred is unustified?
    Since when is it ok to be evicted from your land by people who claim God rates them as The Chosen Few?

  • The definition of terrorist is an armed group that opposes and upsets the status quo from those trying to bully, overpower and take over or at least move control into their hands via an intermediary group. You don't even have to be armed with weapons these days and you could be armed with signs on a protest march and get labelled as a terrorist. The only exception is when that opposing group puts on a uniform and they are then labelled something else. Sadly the use of language and labelling is being used as a weapon in itself to indoctrinate and overthrow in one direction or the other.

  • Armed terrorists are a blight on a decent society. They hide behind women and children to carry out atrocities. We have endured that evil behaviour during the IRA bombing campaign. They were too cowardly to wear a proper uniform, so they were not an army. They were criminals and terrorists..
