Truth about Terrorists...
Someone who kills civilians is called
-a terrorist by some
-a freedom fighter by others
The Israeli Irgun movement in fact pretty much started modern day terror by bombing the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in July 1946. Victims were both Jewish and Muslim civilians, and British military.
The PLO today is in fact the most moderate Palestinian political movement. During the 70s it was the biggest Palestinian terrorist/freedom fighting movement.
The ANC carried out attacks on civilian targets. Today it is an established and respected political party (first president was Nelson Mandela, a convicted terrorist/freedom fighter).
During the Reagan Administration, armed groups in Honduras were trained and funded to carry out attacks on civilians in Nicaragua. These were the Contras, called 'freedom fighters' by the Republicans, 'terrorists' by the rest of the world.
ETC...
P.S Stroggy: sorry to hear about the anti-semitic attacks by some people from the left in America. Mind you, there's plenty of anti-semite people on the right-wing in the rest of the world (Middle and Eastern Europe for that matter).
