Answer 1

Don't listen to them. They are going by the propaganda definition of a terrorist.

I could give you the textbook definition that basically says that terrorists are those who use violence, etc.. to terrorize whomever it is that they oppose. I good example of a true terrorist would be a bully at a school. The bully uses fear of ones weaker than he is in order to get whatever he wants.

Now pay close attention because this is where my definition of terrorism differs from most. I'll explain.

I actually see the USA as the terrorist and Al queda and the insurgents in Iraq as the victims of us that have decided to finally fight back in the only way they can. Like the bully example, the weaker kid can't take the bully head to head because he is stronger so in order to fight back he must become 'sneaky' etc...otherwise he must give up and let the bully continue to control his life.

Now before you get excited and say I am not a patriot or hate my country etc.. let me clarify that real quick: just because I see this truth does not mean I hate my country. It does not mean I agree with those trying to hurt us. It means that I see what is going on and want to fix/change it.

Many politicians and historians told Bush when he first started all this that he should instead be looking at what we did to make them hate us so much rather than use cowboy diplomacy to bully the world. He did not listen and now we are the brink of ww3.

If you listen to Bush, he says that the terrorist hate freedom. That is just something he made up to motivate the masses. Al Queda led by B.Laden spawned out of Afghanistan after a long war there against Russia. You see, we funded B.Laden in that war because we didn't want Russia to win. Then later we basically dropped B.Laden like a hot potato causing them a lot of despair after we were done using them.. there is a lot more but that is where their hatred for us came from.

Then you have the insurgents in Iraq. They are simply ppl trying to defend their country and their way of life from an occupation. Sure we may not agree with their way of life but wouldn't we do the same if the shoe was on the other foot?

Lastly you have Hezbollah and the Palestinians... this one goes deeper and farther back. This argument has no one side that is right and no one side that is wrong. This battle is all about who has the right to Jerusalem.

Now, if you examine each scenario I gave you, you see that what we are calling terrorist are those that do not have the military capabilities others have so in order to fight, they must resort to other means. Means much like our militia here used to defeat the British during the American Revolution. We could not take the British head to head on the battle field so we did what we had to do.

This is my opinion on terrorism. You may not agree but I do hope I helped you understand both sides.

Answer 2

I agree that a conversation approximately Israel is principal to lasting peace in The Middle East. Israel isn't with out fault within the on-going strife within the area and the United States will have to now not take facets robotically with Israel in disputes among the warring factions.I have no idea why being vital of the Jews and their insurance policies in Lebanon and the Gaza signifies that you're an Anti-Semite.I recognise that their is a big Jewish foyer within the United States,above all in Washington D.C., that impacts public opinion to constantly aspect with Israel it doesn't matter what the hindrance.On the opposite hand, Israel is surrounded on each side by means of their enemies and has no Allies within the area to support them if they are attacked.They do want the United States to be a staunch allie to dissuade her friends (Iran) from pondering two times approximately fitting competitive for Anti-Semitic motives.I do not consider that Israel's missteps in insurance policies in the direction of their friends will have to be out of bounds whilst discussing peace within the area. I believe all matters will have to be at the desk for dialogue and debate approximately all of the disorders that divide the concepts within the on-going upheaval within the Middle East.

Answer 3

Good question. Today as I know it terrorism is using a belief to start threats and attacks against another person or group without those same beliefs. Basically, be conformed or cast out. Criticizing does not even mean the same as terrorizing.

Answer 4

nowadays a terrorist is any Muslim or Arabic dude ,, that's cause they hired some stupid guys who said that they were Muslim to blow up the twin tower and do some wrong stuff , so our lil bushy Bush decided that all Muslims are terrorists and killing them is fine cuz ur killing terrorists , that's the truth , okay?? i think that they belive that Muslims are terrorists but i believe that they are terrorizing all the Muslims in the whole world , and i am one of them

Answer 5

It is easy to see that you have forgotten what the definition of a "terrorist" is. It is people who hide behind women and children while waging aggression. It is people who send missiles into residential areas, and people who prevent civilians from leaving the area where their rocket launchers and use civilian deaths to try to get sympathy for their cowardly causes. In other words Hezbollah

Answer 6

best thing is to encourage Israel soldiers to kill children to shoot to destroy because this is the appetite of the people today's,and if Israeli wants Lebanese and palestinian children blood, botteld it and send it to them to enjoy it. Israel is the best because they do not hide nothing ,they do what they want ,the world is under their shose, i like to be citezen of that country but not of them.

Answer 7

i always felt that Arab and Israel should be in peace and when i talked to any body hating them i tell him we must live with them in peace and friend ship but children are dying under the name of terrorism thought by criticizing Israel you criticize terrorism

Answer 8

Yes it is.

Because your "criticism" boils down to the idea that the jews should allow evil people to exterminate them without fighting back or creating a fuss. You are spreading propaganda in hopes of causing a genocide.

That makes you a nazi or worse.

Answer 9

no not at all for the simple reason is that "Israel " does not differ a lot from "Terrorism", they are synonyms and Isreal gave us the proof with the massacre of Cana.

Answer 10

Only in the USA many Jews are called that too when they question Israeli bad policy
