Many liberals use a different definition of “terrorism” than I do. For them the word is related to a cause, for me it’s related to a method.
Hence for them fighting for the cause they agree with, however inhuman and evil, is not “terrorism” regardless of the methods employed.
And for me attacking civilian targets to create fear (”terror”) is terrorism, regardless of what cause is being fought for.
There simply are not many Jews attacking schools and kindergardens in Arab countries because of real or perceived injustice or suffering experienced. But there are many Arabs who attack schools and kindergardens in Israel (and elsewhere). They are terrorists. They seek to create an atmosphere of terror in order to achieve their political goals (i.e. a Jew-free middle east or whatever their current propaganda officially says it is about).
They are too cowardly to oppose a real army and hence resort only to attacking children and unsuspecting civilians. They murder children in front of their parents, NOT because they expected the children to fire at them or because the children were used as human shields by militants firing at them but SOLELY because the children are too small to fight back and are thus an easy target for even the bravest of Arab terrorists.
And they are not very brave. They are only brave when their enemy is weaker. If the enemy turns out to be stronger, they whine and cry and ask the world for help against the evil Israelis, an enemy who at first seemed like an easy target and turned out to be far more difficult to “throw into the sea” than originally thought.
This is the terrorists’ battle strategy:
1. Try to murder children.
2. Wait for Israeli reaction.
3. Try to murder children until Israel reacts.
4. After Israel responds in kind, cry and whine and ask the world for money.
5. Use the money to buy weapons.
6. Repeat.
What heroes! If only they could take violence like they expect Jews to. But they are lesser men than the Israelis.
(Other typical targets of their heroic allies include unarmed black African tribes. Step 4 works so well as the world has lots of money because the world refuses to give that same money to the victims of genocide committed by the terrorists' allies in Darfur.)
