I didn't say you did, but to criticize citizens who tried to fight it is unbelievable to me. Do you really believe they could have persuaded those killing Jews to stop with a nice smile on their faces? Not much different thinking than those members of "win without war?" Get real!

I was being sarcastic. I am sorry for bothering you.
I have great respect for those who fought and gave their lives to preserve the freedom of their homeland.
I thought it would be interesting to use the arguments of some of the pro-abortion people on this forum against terrorists whose actions they believe were acceptable and see how they responded. I skimmed this entire thread in less than 70 minutes so I might have missed it, but I did not see any of the pro-abortion people give a cogent explanation of why they believed terrorism against past governments and "institutions" was acceptable but not against abortion. (I do NOT support terrorism against abortionists).
As for calling the "resistance fighters" radical terrorists, I believe that that term is factualy correct.
They were radical, or extremists, because they obviously either believed differently, or had different priorities than the majority of the population, and most certainly the legal government. Unless I am mistaken, the countries the Germans controled had unconditionaly surrenderred, hence they were under the authority of the German military.
They were terrorists according to the legal definition of terrorism, which is, if I recall correctly: Terrorism is the use of violence against a government or population to accomplish a political or religious goal.
