  Terrorism Research - What is Terrorism?
Terrorism is not new, and even though it has been used since the beginning of recorded history it can be relatively hard to define.
Terrorism has been described variously as both a tactic and strategy; a crime and a holy duty; a justified reaction to oppression and an inexcusable abomination.
In some cases, terrorism has been a means to carry on a conflict without the adversary realizing the nature of the threat, mistaking terrorism for criminal activity.

  Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Terrorism against Israelis
Acts that were inflicted and declared terrorist committed by nations and individuals against Israelis.
Many Israelis and Americans blame suicide bombings on the indoctrination of Palestinian children, from kindergarten to college age, with pro-suicide propaganda, citing official Palestinian Authority television shows for 5 and 6 year olds teaching them songs about murdering Jews.
Israelis point out that the books in questions are irrelevent, because they are not textbooks, and have never represented any concerted attempt at indoctrination.

 MINNESOTANS AGAINST TERRORISM
One of the issues protested is NPR's refusal to call the Palestinian killers of Israeli civilians by their true name - "terrorists," rather than euphemistically as "militants" or "activists" even though it will use the word "terrorism" to describe attacks against civilians in other parts of the world.
By contrast, the second attack was subsequently reported by NPR without using any form of the word "terror" and included nothing about who the likely perpetrators might have been, describing them only as "militants".  The attack, and similar attacks in the past, were described and implicitly justified as a "campaign.
Minnesotans Against Terrorism expressly disclaims all liability with respect to actions taken or not taken based on any or all of the contents of any third-party websites.

 Roadmap to Mideast Peace? Opportunities and Concerns
All official Israelis institutions end incitement against Palestinians." This text implies that Israeli defensive military action against terrorists is equivalent to Palestinian acts of terrorism against civilians.
The Roadmap implies that ending the "Israeli occupation" of the West Bank and Gaza Strip (assuming Palestinian terrorism is under control) is the key to Israeli-Palestinian peace.
Many Israelis and supporters of Israel were left concluding that the Palestinian aspiration was not an independent state in these territories existing alongside Israel, but rather a goal of a Palestinian state replacing Israel.

 "Sponsoring Terrorism: Syria and the PFLP-GC" (September 2002)
Meanwhile, as Israeli preparations for a withdrawal steadily proceeded through the fall of 1999 and spring of 2000, Syria began a massive infusion of arms to PFLP-GC bases in the Beqaa.
The Israelis were deeply concerned about the growth of mechanized PFLP-GC units in the Beqaa ahead of their withdrawal from Lebanon and decided to strike.
Israeli officials claimed that that the Santorini, a Lebanese-registered ship, had departed from Syrian-occupied northern Lebanon and that the PFLP-GC was behind the operation.

  Summer Rain Over Gaza By Alice Gray
The current Israeli invasion of Gaza was ostensibly caused by the killing of two Israeli soldiers and the kidnapping of one more (Gilad Shalit) by Palestinian militants connected with the elected Palestinian government (Hamas).
This being the case, actions undertaken by the military wing of the elected government against the deployed military personnel of an Occupying power are somewhat subject to interpretation in terms of their 'lawfulness' or otherwise.
The Israeli invasion, and indeed the entire military occupation of the Palestinian Territories, are themselves on similarly shaky ground with regard to their 'lawfulness'.

 The Challenge Of Confronting Islamic Terrorism - Terrorism Against Israel   (Site not responding. Last check: )
I can tell you that there is a sense of hopelessness and outrage that is gripping all Israelis today but there is also the conviction that we must struggle on, to continue with our lives; we just cannot allow ourselves to be always held in a state of siege or hostage.
There are some people who call this global war against terrorism, a clash of civilizations and those who pooh-pooh this clash of civilizations theory, who trivialise this view point, end up trivialising the seriousness of the threat of Islamic terrorism or that much of this Islamic terrorism is directed against non-Islamic peoples and nations.
Terrorism has come to mean terrorism against the US and its national interests.

 Israel's unexpected victory over terrorism
The Israeli army seemed as disoriented as the politicians: When two reservists were lynched and mutilated by a Palestinian mob inside a police station in October 2000, Israel's initial response was to bomb mostly empty buildings belonging to the Palestinian Authority (P.A.).
Though abuses against civilians have occurred — over 600 are now being investigated by the IDF and many more have obviously gone unreported — Israel proves that a war against terrorism can be fought while preserving basic democratic principles.
That means an ability to endure criticism from abroad and even to risk international isolation, a willingness to define the war on terrorism as a total war, and a commitment to focus one's political agenda on winning, not on divisive or extraneous concerns.

 CAMERA: CAMERA ALERT: Washington Post Knotted Up Over Terrorism
Terrorism is like other things that you know when you see, and The Post should not shy away from that word when it is useful for the general reader.
According to the U.S. government, it is the threat or use of force against civilians, often to influence a larger audience for political ends.
The ombudsman tried to rebut readers who “attempt to equate the U.S. battle against al Qaeda with the Israeli battle against Hamas.” He erroneously labeled Hamas “a nationalist movement,” implied its “territorial ambitions” were limited to the Gaza Strip and West Bank and that its “social work” offset its terrorism.

 Cairo's Terror Summit
But if ending all violence and terrorism and returning to negotiations were on the agenda, there would be no point meeting with groups committed to killing as many Israelis as they can, wherever possible.
Since murdering Israelis on their streets and in their homes could not be more direct, this can only be understood to mean that American blood is redder than that of Israelis.
The premise of the Bush Doctrine is supposed to be that terrorism is as unacceptable as it is indivisible.

Terrorism and all other mischief on Earth are the very acts that Muslims are commanded by God to stand against.
With examples from history, the book demonstrates that the only way to fight terrorism is to embrace the sentiments fostered by the values of religion, such as love, compassion, forgiveness, tolerance and justice.
Beginning with the event of September 11, the film explains that all kinds of violence against civilians are crimes against humanity and grave sins in religious terms.

 YID With LID: OSLO 2- ISRAELIS NOTHING
As with Arafat, U.S. and Israeli concessions and funding are not being made contingent on Abbas and the PA fulfilling their 14 year-old signed agreements to stop terrorism, arrest terrorists and end incitement to hatred and murder in the PA.
It is notable that on the occasions when Abbas has criticized Palestinian acts of terrorism against Israelis, it has always been in terms of the harm done to Palestinian interests, not because the acts are inherently barbaric and evil.
Yet there was no peace and much terrorism and the Palestinian movement did not speak of liberating these territories to create a Palestinian state but of destroying Israel instead.

 netWMD - Pope on terror: A spade is a spade, except when used to stab Israelis
It is significant for the pontiff to confront Muslims on terrorism, especially as Western leaders have continued to use politically correct language, describing Islamist terrorism as some type of nebulous concept having no clear source.
It singled out Israel for criticism, saying that that beleaguered nation’s responses to attacks against its civilians was “not always compatible with the rules of international law.” It then went on to say that the Vatican could not protest every Palestinian attack against Jewish civilians if Israel did not always follow international law.
But his unwillingness to condemn terrorism against Israelis is no less than a sin of omission, to put it into ecclesiastical terms.

 ZOA 01-19-06: ZOA: PA Chief Abbas' Continuous Refusal To Condemn Palestinian Terrorism As A Moral Horror Is Sickening
Following today’s suicide bombing in Tel Aviv, in which 30 people were wounded, Abbas only stated that, “This is sabotage and aimed at sabotaging the elections, not only the elections, but also the security of Palestinians...
Since coming to office, Abbas has refused to condemn terrorism against Israelis as a moral obscenity and crime to be fought, criticizing it only as a public relations nuisance that tarnishes the Palestinians’ international image.
ZOA National President Morton A. Klein said, “It is simply sickening that the leader of the Palestinian Authority lacks the humanity, principle and decency to tell the truth about terrorism committed against Israelis -- that it is an abomination and crime against Jews which must be stopped and its perpetrators hunted down, disarmed and jailed.

 "Sponsoring Terrorism: Syria and Hamas" (October 2002)
Authorization for terror attacks was relayed from the political leadership in Amman to the operational command in Syria, which sent instructions to Qassam Brigade cells in the West Bank by telephone and fax (usually after being routed through Cyprus to obscure the origin).
The bomb that killed 15 Israelis at a restaurant in Haifa in March 2002 was built by Qayyis Adwan, a Hamas bomb-maker who, according to the Shin Bet, was "in touch" with Hamas headquarters in Syria.
Successful efforts by Israeli and PA security forces to uncover and arrest high and middle-ranking Qassam Brigade operatives led to a decline in the number of attacks in 1998 and 1999, while the PA succeeded in greatly reducing the flow of funds to the group from outside sources.

 Israel Palestine Center for Research and Information - IPCRI
The more force that Israel uses against the Palestinian population, the more the Palestinian public supports, publicly or in their hearts, the use of all means of violence, including terrorism, against Israelis.
This was one of the main forces that fought against Hamas and Jihad prior to the intifada and from the general sense of their discussion, it was clear that they would be more than happy to go back to their jobs and their task of fighting against Hamas and Jihad.
They believe that the true Israeli intention is to apply continued pressure to the Palestinian population so that they will embrace the most extreme elements of Palestinian society and thus the option for peace, meaning Israeli withdrawal becomes impossible.

Ghitis claims that terrorism against Israelis is not condemned with the absolute vigor it deserves and that "the West" must stop "excusing" terror.
But there is a secret about terrorism that nobody dares to mention: Westerners themselves, for all their sound and fury, have not wholeheartedly condemned terrorism.
But in April 2002, when Israelis were going out of their minds with grief and fear, Europeans reacted with massive street demonstrations condemning Israel's admittedly Draconian efforts to stop the bloodshed and demanding that Israelis give in to Palestinian demands.

 You Can't Blow up a Social Relationship : The Anarchist case against Terrorism. - Anarres Books Essays   (Site not responding. Last check: )
However, when left-wing terrorism is being carried out in a consistent way in society, it gives the state extra leverage in using political repression against individuals and the left in general.
Around the world the word "terrorism" is used indiscriminately by politicians and police with the intention of arousing hostility to any phenomenon of resistance or preparedness for armed defence against their own terroristic acts.
Terrorism is distinguished by the systematic use of violence against people for political ends.

Sharon was forced to resign in 1983, after an Israeli tribunal found him indirectly responsible for the massacre of hundreds of Palestinians at the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila by Lebanese Christian militiamen allied with Israel.
In 1982, he was appointed deputy chief of mission at the Israeli Embassy in the U.S., and in 1984 he became the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, where he served for four years.
His hard-line stance against Palestinian attacks has endeared him to the Likud Party and he is expected to enter politics, perhaps as a candidate for defense minister, when he steps down from his current post in July 2002.

 Collectivism and Compensation: Geekery Today 2006-02-09 :: Rad Geek People's Daily   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Radgeek’s argument is that Palestinian terrorism is at least in part motivated by the allegedly legitimate grievance of land theft by Israelis from Palestinians in the Israeli War of Independence.
This is because for the Israelies to return land or make compensation for injustice to the Palestinians before the war is over is for the Israelis to enrich and thereby strengthen and embolden their enemies.
Of the remaining Palestinians who have not sworn off war against Israelis, public opinion polls, Palestinian Authority elections (in which even the so-called moderates like Mahmoud Abbas are Holocaust Deniers), and the decades-long track record of Palestinian actions all indicate the same conclusion: That the vast majority of Palestinians support the anti-Israeli Jihad.
