Terrorists and Activists

Taken from "DiggingwithDarren.com"
(a great Torah studies website)

Murdering people makes you a killer or a terrorist. But if those being murdered are Jews, then you are an activist. You might also be a 'freedom fighter'. Crashing jet planes into buildings makes you a terrorist. But attempting to shoot down civilian planes landing in Israel makes you an activist. Placing large bombs on trains in Madrid and London makes you a terrorist, but placing bombs on Israeli buses full of children makes you an activist. Snipers shooting innocent people in Virginia are terrorists. Snipers shooting Jews in the West Bank and Gaza are activists. People trying to ram soldiers with trucks and cars are generally terrorists; unless the soldiers in question are Jews. Throwing rocks at civilians makes you a criminal and maybe even amterrorist, and if you do so off a California overpass you will get jailed and possibly shot. But throwing the same rocks at Jews in Israel makes you an activist, and maybe even a professor at Columbia University. Denying the Holocaust makes you a racist and a fascist bigot, unless you are an Arab, in which case it makes you a moderate, at least if you deny the Holocaust in grammatically correct English. Hiding behind children when you shoot weapons at soldiers makes you a coward and a villain, unless you are a Palestinian or an Iraqi Baathist. The 9-11 attack, the 3-11 attack in Spain, and the July attacks in London, are a form of terrorism with NO underlying causes or root grievances, but Middle East activism in which Israelis get mass murdered IS - and is all because of Israeli insensitivity and because Palestinians feel 'occupied'. When the US jails hundreds of terrorists in Guantanamo Bay without trial, this is because the jailed are terrorists. When Israel jails people who have been proven in a court of law to have mass- murdered Jews, this is undermining the peace process and antagonizing activists. Firing mortars and rockets into civilian areas in the Balkans makes you a war criminal. Firing them from Gaza into Jewish homes makes you a freedom fighter.
