RE: Who Are The Palestinians? Part 2
※→ et al,
When judges and certain high officials bestow great distinction, upon those that intentionally seek to murder the innocent, given especially to those that openly kill, in face to face, the lives of children, the death of which serves no tactical purpose, THEN that distinction says something about the morality of the people. That would be both in the context of the murderer and those that seek to glorify them.
The morality of the honors given to acts of political violence is based, as a first level or criteria, the focus of direct targetting. That is, did you point the gun directly at unarmed men women and children with the intention of killing them and only them? The example of this is in the action of one of the martyrs just recently honored (PLO Fedayeen) Dalal Mughrabi, who participated in the murder of 25 men and women and 13 children.
No I've heard many a Palestinian justify their action by attempting to compare it to the deaths incurred when Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP) intentionally put the innocent in harm's way by attempting to shield themselves behind the innocent to avoid retaliatory military action.
When the Leadership of the various HoAP factions attempt to lure, attract and attempt to recruit followers using the despicable actions endangering the innocent and by preaching that it is moral to utilize the presence of a civilian or other protected person (men, women, and children) to render certain HoAP military forces immune from Israeli engagements, constitutes a war crime in international armed conflicts.
This is altogether different that the casualties incurred when the HoAP fail to conduct their hostile operations outside densely innocent populations; or intentionally fail to remove (evacuate) such innocent populations from areas in proximity to the conflict.
Most Respectfully,

(a) Prohibit by law incitement to commit a terrorist act or acts;

(COMMENT)Jerusalem District Commander Yoram Halevi signed an order Thursday forbidding a conference of Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party in honor of terrorists.
The conference was to be held in the Issawiya neighborhood of eastern Jerusalem to honor the mothers of shaheeds (martyrs) and those wounded while attacking Israelis.

• Is State Terrorism Different Than Terrorism? by Dr Amy Zalman • said:“State terrorism” is as controversial a concept as that of terrorism itself. Terrorism is often, though not always, defined in terms of four characteristics:
- The threat or use of violence;
- A political objective; the desire to change the status quo;
- The intention to spread fear by committing spectacular public acts;
- The intentional targeting of civilians. It is this last element - targeting innocent civilians - that stands out in efforts to distinguish state terrorism from other forms of state violence. Declaring war and sending the military to fight other militaries is not terrorism, nor is the use of violence to punish criminals who have been convicted of violent crimes.
When the Leadership of the various HoAP factions attempt to lure, attract and attempt to recruit followers using the despicable actions endangering the innocent and by preaching that it is moral to utilize the presence of a civilian or other protected person (men, women, and children) to render certain HoAP military forces immune from Israeli engagements, constitutes a war crime in international armed conflicts.
