If you count that sort of thing, then every carjacking and drug deal and home invasion in America gone bad is "terrorism". Where does crime end and terrorism begin? I don't know, but I don't think "terrorism" includes random killings, as most people think of it.

The Mohammad and Malvo incident would be equivalent to a couple of Palestinians being responsible for many killings. I'm sure there are some serial killers like that, and that is more akin to terrorism than your typical murders and attempted murders are. But not all Palestinian shootings (or Israeli shootings, to put the shoe on the other foot) are like that.

I think what strikes most people as terroristic incidents are the suicide bombings and mass shootings, including those occasional ones perpetrated by an Israeli, like Baruch Goldstein.

It is pretty simple. A carjacking is to steal the car, a drug deal is to buy drugs, but mines placed in public roads or setting up a machinegun pit to slaugher people driving down a highway is not a "crime" per se, as the motive is to kill someone at random to create fear in the general populace. We had, in the year discussed well over four THOUSAND such attempted killings. The only reason I responded to the thread is the obvious double standard the State Department is usings. Somehow, when terrorism is used against Jews, it is not terrorism, but when terrorism is used against anybody else it is. I do not know how direct you can get, setting up an ambush squad against some lady driving to school to deliver her kids, but some how, when it happens against Jews many times a day It is overlooked.

But the one case where you get a balistic Jew, it is never overlooked, and some how the 10,000 attacks in this intifadda alone is seen as a balance to the 1 whole attack by a nutcase. (Which by the way is quite a strange case as there are a lot of left-wing political groups involved in setting this one up).

For instance your comment on Jews shooting. Less incidents have happened in three years of this terrorism war than happen every single day over here by Arabs against Jews. But you like most of the rest fall right into the "cycle of violence" garbage. How can it be seen as a cycle when there are thousands of attacks every year by arabs and one or less a year by Jews?

Bias is a nice way to point out the clear agenda of the Pogram, something you are perhaps an unwitting part of. But the blood on you hands as you push this lie, still stains. At even a hundred to one perhaps you could be fooled, but at a thousand to one it is pretty obvious to anybody that this Middle East power struggle is simply the Arabs want to kill all the Jews and take all their land on their path to take all the world.

If you take the huge nation of Israel and place it in little bitty Arabia you end up with a whole match box in the middle of a football field. Seems pretty silly for Arabs to want to fight over half the matches, but for 15 nations, every one of them many times the size of Israel, it is all they talk about. Wiping out the Jews is their only goal in life.

By all means, ride in their wagon if you wish. All wagons lead to the Judgement day, but you might wish to start preparing your case now. I suspect it is going to be pretty hard to justify backing 22 police states with the worst historys on human rights in the world against the only free country in this quarter of the globe before God. I suspect He will not be amused. It is not like you have not been warned, He said he would set up Jerusalem as a stumbling block in the last days, and whoever would move it, He will cut in pieces.

Prepare to be sliced and diced dude.
