RE: terror (Was: To the list...)

It is just WRONG for us to let ourselves get confused by the bourgeoisie's
usage of the word 'terror' and think that bombings in Palestine are the same
kind of thing as an anarchist shooting McKinley. It makes absolutely no
sense to talk about the organized campaigns conducted by Hamas, Islamic
Jihad, the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, or other organizations in Palestine as
if they were "individual terror".
There is nothing "individual" about them.
Response Jim C: I use a particular metaphor when dealing with Zionists and
their agents. I ask them if they are aware that some Jews in Poland and
elsewhere formed "partisan groups" and attacked and killed German settlers
that had been brought in to take/settle/hold "Lebensraum" (exactly analogous
to Haaretz Israel or Manifest Destiny) in Poland. Then I ask if they can
tell me how many German settlers were killed by Jewish partisans, do they
consider the German settlers "victims" and do they even care how many German
settlers were killed. I ask if they are aware that some Jews of the Warsaw
Ghetto did bombings and assasinations of German soldiers knowing full-well
there would be some "collateral damage" and can they tell me how many German
soldiers were killed and do they even care. I ask if they are aware that
some Jews assasinated other Jews who were collaborators with the occupiers,
can they tell me how many collaborationist Jews were killed by other Jews
and do they care.
