defined as 'violent or terrorist acts.'
Today, e.g. , "Israeli Tank fire kills l4-year old Palestinian boy in an OFFENSIVE move", and other news...The Israeli military has been pressing an "OFFENSIVE" in Gaza since June. OR "Israel to begin "OFFENSIVE" ground assault by bombing Gaza bridges" OR "more than 80 Palestinians killed in Israeli OFFENSIVE."
yet Palestinian responses to Israeli attacks, are classified as "violence" or "terrorist acts."
Killing is violence no matter who pulls a trigger, throws a stone, or rolls a tank into an occupied apartment.
And its all about land, or so we are led to believe.
Still, this conflict exists it appears, because Israel and Palestine each believes different versions of the same history regarding land rights. And so they fight like little chldren, and kill and maim and refuse to give in
Its ALL violence.
and please. No knee-jerk reactions. I'Im on NEITHER side.
I'm just curious about this very obvious play of words and definitions.
