Definition of Terrorism
Why is terrorism always defined as perceived by the western world and their allies. It was western world or invaders who invaded the other country and when the people of the attacked country decided to fight back and protect their homeland, they were conveniently termed terrorists by the western world. USSR invaded Afghanistan and the CIA funded the Afghan Mujahideen and also distributed propaganda material to them that Russians are non believers and must be killed as per Islam. This created Taliban, Al Qaeda etc. US invaded Iraq under the false pretext of WMD that were never found and destroyed that country killing millions and rendering the rest of the country war torn. British and allies arbitrarily decided to settle Jews persecuted by Hitler based on some promised land mentioned in holy book and displaced the Palestinians year by year. When the same Palestinians fought or are fighting for their homeland, they are again conveniently termed terrorists. To all supporters of Israel, the invaders are terrorists, not the people fighting for their homeland.
What else do you call flying planes into buildings and beheading babies
You are not wrong. I wish Muslim world is united and democratic, rather than some bigots following some religious shit
Terrorism is a tool for west. This happens when you do every transaction in dollars, your dependency on west grows
There is def over labeling but lots of it is the tactics used and the targets, for example militias opening fire on a concert, taking over a hotel and shooting the tenants, hostage taking etc
Ok, OP. Both are terrorists. You happy? Killing civilians = bad.
Terrorism is intentional political violence against civilians by non state actors. When a state actor does it the same thing is a war crime. It's NOT inadvertent, accidental or collateral. If the target is military in nature then it's as insurgency, or if a state actor does it, war. Short story is don't do things like Oct 7
OP you have a lot of misinformation and outright lies in your post. Overall the intent of your disinformation is to support the false narrative that Jews are "colonizer" or "invaders". That if a lie, and it's a lie you spread in order to justify violence against Jews. You should stop spreading this kind of hate and lies. 1. The British didn't decide to resettle Jews, the Jews decided on their own to return to their ancestral land and began doing that in 1880, long before either the Nazis or the Soviet Union even existed. 2. The immigrants did NOT displace Palestinians. They bought land from Ottomans and settled on it. No Arabs were displaced until 1948, during the war that the Arabs themselves started 3. The Palestinians are termed terrorists because they attack Jewish civilians Calling the Jews names like "colonizer" or "invader" is a lie that you are telling to justify absolutely abhorrent atrocity.
Agreed that both are violence with vested interest and both are bad. But in general, people and nations learn from the past historical mistakes. If you take the history of the last 300 years, you can see that the rate of invasions reduces, especially after the second world war. And hopefully in another few decades, this will end completely as western nations can no longer fool their citizens anymore. But the story is different for the 'threat' of terrorism from religious extremists. No one can change the religious intolerance that their prophet has written into their holy book for eternity. It insists that a 'true' believer to wage holy war 'jihad' with swords against all kafirs until they are either killed or converted to the religion of 'peace'. No other religion in the world prompts their followers to kill non believers. If anyone disagrees they can share reference of one quote from their holy book or authorized annexures that preaches them to 'love people irrespective of their religion'.
There is not prophet. Prophet means nothing. Nobody has written that shit. It’s just powerful/corrupt and manipulative people controlling others for their interest.
Winners get to define the narrative. How else do we get away with so much?
Might is right. Ethics is a myth. One who holds power writes history and defines labels. Brits used to claim that the people of the lands they themselves invaded were terrorists. What the f*ck. But look at Britain and Brits now. They are a laughing stock, dying economy and licking their own asses. Oh wait… their arse.
+1 might is right. also, how much psychological bearing you have on the other entity. many commercial gurus in India are owning and flying personal airplanes, because they have captured the minds (and wallets) of their followers.
