On a personal level, like an abusive spouse or abusive parent, people seem to agree that the abuser projects the responsibility for the violence on the victim. Can anyone see a correlation between that and what is happening today in Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Iraq? Calling Arab/Muslims terrorists takes the onus of responsibility off the US and Israel?

Hezbollah and Hamas are hardly victims of anything. They cannot get along with human beings so they need to be removed from the planet.

We don't call them terrorists because of the nation they come from we call certain groups that ,like the shites and the Taliban. These groups are proud of the terror that they cause. Stereotyping people is not right and the government really doesn't do it. It is done by uneducated society that makes up most of America. If more people did some research before they started Bi#@*ing they would see it.

The aggressor has to justify his actions, and looks for faults or projects faults into the victim in order to deflect the blame off of them, and feel better about the harm they are causing.

If the victim is blameless the aggressor loses his locus standi to be offensive.
