If you live in the US, Are Hamas and Hizballah Terrorist Organizations?

[Roudy]

That's a hog stupid remark.

it is an extraordinarily intelligent and accurate remark.

That is your opinion of it. For whatever your opinion is worth to anyone else.......

One hoot.

The word "terrorism" is politically and emotionally charged,[5] and this greatly compounds the difficulty of providing a precise definition. Studies have found over 100 definitions of “terrorism”.[6][7] The concept of terrorism may be controversial as it is often used by state authorities (and individuals with access to state support) to delegitimize political or other opponents,[8] and potentially legitimize the state's own use of armed force against opponents (such use of force may be described as "terror" by opponents of the state).[8][9]

The definition of terrorism has proved controversial. Various legal systems and government agencies use different definitions of terrorism in their national legislation. Moreover, the international community has been slow to formulate a universally agreed, legally binding definition of this crime. These difficulties arise from the fact that the term "terrorism" is politically and emotionally charged.[21] In this regard, Angus Martyn, briefing the Australian Parliament, stated that

"The international community has never succeeded in developing an accepted comprehensive definition of terrorism. During the 1970s and 1980s, the United Nations attempts to define the term floundered mainly due to differences of opinion between various members about the use of violence in the context of conflicts over national liberation and self-determination."[1]

The terms "terrorism" and "terrorist" (someone who engages in terrorism) carry strong negative connotations.[43] These terms are often used as political labels, to condemn violence or the threat of violence by certain actors as immoral, indiscriminate, unjustified or to condemn an entire segment of a population.

[Roudy]

In the U.S. and Europe they are classified as terrorists organizations.

But to the rest of the world they are viewed as freedom fighters.........

One side's terrorist is the other side's freedom fighter!

That slogan ain't gonna get you off either. Ha ha ha!

it is only your opinion that that is my opinion, for whatever your opinion is worth to anyone else.

christ, marg...just how stupid is that remark exactly? just how far do we need to go in stating the obvious? this board is a board designed for people to express opinions. you could answer every post with that statement. it almost sounds like a speech of concession or surrender.

but hey, marg...the above is just my opinion. happy?

Are Hamas & Hezbollah terrorists? Is Arafat dead & Hanan Ashwari still ugly?

Roudy, et al,

Yes! They both unlawfully use or threatened use of force or violence against people and property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

Most Respectfully,
R

that pretty well defines most of the militaries in the world, and particularly the IDF...except perhaps for the unlawful part.

how about the nazis? were they terrorists? was castro a terrorist when he was supported by the U.S., or only when he fell out of favour with us? the girondins? i believe the term "terrorism" originated due to their lawful activities. viet cong? viet minh? NVA?
ARVN? 23rd?

who exactly is HAMAS and hezbollah trying to intimidate or coerce for ideological or political purposes, as opposed to simply ridding their land or the region of a colonial power or the remnants of that power.

Sowee. Hamas are bloodthirsty animals that kill women, children, and civilians intentionally and gloat about it.

don't know about that.

do know they don't have t shirts made up bragging about it and celoebrating it. that would be your brave boyos. "YAYYYYYY. WE SHOOT PREGNANT WOMRN." (the IDF. op. cast lead.)

Tinmore is now back to his word games. All signs of desperation. US govt, Western Europe, and many other nations have classified Hamas as terrorist because they qualify the criteria.

Wikipedia will not save you from a jail sentence should you appear in front of a judge. Pack a lot of Vaseline.

terrorist because they qualify the criteria.

And what criteria would that be?

The criteria for what constitutes a terrorist group as established by the US govt and European governments is objective and fair and according to international legal standards. Both Hamas and Hezbollah have exceeded the criteria necessary to qualify for being on this list.

What is true is that Hamas is 150% a terrorist organization.

"don't know about that"? That doesn't even qualify as a lame attempt. How could any reasonable, civilized, educated, informed person not consider Hamas a terrorist organization?

 

[irosie91]

roudy leave tinnie alone ------when his kith and kin are
the targets of terrorism he will know what it is -----until then
he will know only that sneaking into a house at nite in order
to slit the throat of an infant is terrorism only if the infant is
not jewish

 

[Roudy]

Tinmore, why do you think bullshit propoganda clips by PressTV, which is the official govt propoganda arm of the Islamic Republic of Iran, count? That's like posting clips from a North Korean govt website! How stupid can you really be? Iran, a Pariah terrorist nation, spokesperson for the Plestinians? Ha ha ha!

 

[Roudy]

Irose I truly hope that nobody, not even ignorant people like Tinmore get to personally experience the effects of Islamism and Islamic terrorism. At this time I will paraphrase a well know Jewish Rabbi named Jesus who said "forgive them Lord, for they know not what they do."

Tinmore swears Hamas is a benevolent, philantrophic humanitarian establishment and only devote 100% of their effort to terrorism. How about lifting your foot from Tinnie's neck.
