Israel as a Terrorist State
Updated 2024-02-25
2023-10 23 Hamas Is a Terrorist Organization. So Is the Israeli Government Labels are central to the politics of media. And no label has been more powerful than “terrorist.” A single standard of language should accompany a consistent standard of human rights, which the world desperately needs. “If thought corrupts language,” George Orwell wrote, “language can also corrupt thought. A bad usage can spread by tradition and imitation, even among people who should and do know better.” But U.S. media outlets dodge being evenhanded with the “terrorist ” label applying it to organized Palestinian killers of Israelis and not to organized Israeli killers of Palestinians.
No amount of rhetoric from its defenders and apologists can change the reality that Hamas engaged in mass murder. What Hamas horrifically did to more than 1,000 Israeli civilians of all ages two weeks ago meets the dictionary definition of terrorism.
And no amount of rhetoric can change the reality that the Israeli government has engaged in mass murder during the last two weeks. What Israel’s military is horrifically doing in Gaza, already killing several thousand Palestinian civilians of all ages, also meets the definition of terrorism. https://freepress.org/article/hamas-terrorist-organization-so-israeli-government

2012-11-26 Can We Hold Israel Accountable? The great wish of the early Zionist leader Theodor Herzl was that Israel would be treated like “any other state.” Were that the case, there might be more rational and productive discourse regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is particularly critical in light of Israel launching yet another devastating attack against civilian-populated areas of nearby Arab lands.
While most of the international community has criticized both Hamas and Israel for their attacks on areas populated by civilians, the Obama administration has restricted its condemnation to the Palestinian side. U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice–widely considered to be the president’s first choice to succeed Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State–correctly noted that there is “no justification for the violence that Hamas and other terrorist organizations are employing against the people of Israel.” However, she had absolutely no criticism of Israel’s far more devastating attacks against the people of the Gaza Strip, simply saying that “Israel, like any nation, has the right to defend itself against such vicious attacks.” https://www.utne.com/politics/can-we-hold-israel-accountable/
