If we were as powerless as the Arabs/Muslims/Palestinians, will we

[KlatooBNikto]

adopt the same terrorist tactics as they are doing and wouldn't we be praising our people for taking the fight to the enemy?

[Clark2008]

1. Erm, we're still doing that even though we are powerful.

One man's terrorist is another man's liberation movement.

2. Don't fall for THEIR choice of words. Call them PARTISANS

or freedom fighters, not ever terrorists!

I think this is really important. Those who coin the phrases determine the thinking.

3. so Hamas and Hezbollah are just partisans?

[neweurope]

4. There are partisans AND terrorists there. And I hope you understand that

what I have been alluding to is your government's calling EVERYBODY who opposes them a "terrorist". And we shouldn't fall for it. We also should avoid - just one example here - government-coined phrases like "Clear skies Act" when it actually has nothing whatsoever to do with "Clear" Skies. Simple people hear "clear skies" and think everything's just dandy then.

By the way: No chance of getting me into an Israel-Palestine discussion here :)
