Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[Mr. Ed]

The whole argument Bishara makes falls apart in this paragraph,with his premise of who,and what a "terrorist" is-
"As it stands now, the concept of terror depends on who you are, not what you do. The murder of civilians for political purposes may be called terror. Or it may be called violence, acts of war, or even legitimate resistance. It all depends on whether the perpetrator is, or is not, listed as terrorist. Forget equality before the law. Forget proof of guilt. Terror is not a crime unless committed by a so-called "terrorist." And everyone is making sure we all know who the terrorists are."

Also,for him to say "Some of their acts of resisistance may be questionable,morally or politically" re:Palestinians again shows his lack of understanding of what we define as "terrorists".There is no place for the word "may" in this argument,there must be moral absolutes in this world for us to have any hope for a future.jmho.
