Attack in self-defence
Play
The other night I was watching a BBC news report about religious extremists in the Middle East. When the reporter interviewed these lunatics, they said they were not terrorists but "freedom fighters" and claimed their violent acts were simply the will of
No, dear readers, the people being interviewed were not Islamic extremists. They were Jewish settlers in Israeli-occupied territories.
The reason we think only Muslims are terrorists is because when America and Israel kill people, it’s called “freedom fighting”, “self-defence” (even when America attacks a country thousands of miles away which poses no threat to the US) or, in the case of one of America’s wars, “Operation Just Cause”. But these lovely euphemisms only diminish the value of the lives of the people who America and Israel kill, especially when those people are Muslims.
