Boston tea party?

Yup.

When did this happen?

The British military was at war with the US.

 

[whitehall]

History according to left wing idiots who probably never opened a history book. You almost gotta laugh.

Let us start with New Orleans, Sicilians/Italians, Columbus Day, Mafia, Cancel-culture.

Does this fit today's definition of Terrorism?
Read the article. Lots of stuff we could all comment on. Like:


One lynching victim identified as "Polizzi" — most likely a street vendor named Emmanuele Polizzi — was shot in his cell before he was savaged by the mob.

"He was not killed outright and in order to satisfy the people outside who were crazy to know what was going on within, he was dragged down the stairs and through the doorway by which the crowd had entered," The Times reported of the carnage.

"A rope was provided and tied around his neck and the people pulled him up to the crossbars. Not satisfied he was dead, a score of men took aim at him and poured a volley of shot into him …"

Three of the men lynched by the mob were tried in the murder of Hennessy and acquitted; cases against two other victims ended in mistrial, according to the ISDA. Four other men were charged in Hennessy's murder and also acquitted, according to other reports.


Upsetting? I can't help thinking of the outrage at HAMAS, and comparing how we should all feel about Americans doing similar, long before HAMAS ever existed.

What a pointless & mindless rant predicated on an obvious fallacy.

Dainty is not doing well these days.

Boston Tea Party - Definition, Dates & Facts | HISTORY

The Boston Tea Party was a political protest staged on December 16, 1773 at Griffin’s Wharf in Boston, Massachusetts. American colonists, frustrated at Britain for imposing “taxation without representation,” dumped 342 chests of British tea into the harbor. The event was the first major act of...

I would not consider the Boston Tea Party to be terrorism, for the simple reason that its intent was not to impose fear among the British. The term 'terrorism' is usually reserved for attacks on civilian populations in order to spread terror, hence the name. I would call it a political protest, and a pretty effective one at that.

Well, first of all, Harrison's Columbus Day proclamation didn't make it a recurring federal holiday, but a one-off recognition; we didn't get a day off for it until the 1970s.

But sure, lynching was terrible. It happened a lot, and is a dark spot on our national history. What's the argument? Is there someone claiming that Americans have always been saintly?

Just reminded me of the militants in the mideast. The savagery. The brutality.

The savage, brutal, "militants" in the Middle East, a.k.a. Hamas have a political agenda and goal, basically to destroy the nation of Israel and any to all Jews in that land, especially if they don't leave.

The example of your OP was a criminal act by a group of citizens against another group of citizens with no linkage to national, political boundaries or disputes over current versus past sovereignty.

About as much in common as apples versus horse poop.

Your imbecility: "disputes over current versus past sovereignty"

It does not apply to incidents within the nation itself, addressing immigration and...Unless of course your talking about how some US administrations chose to deal with the Indian problem.

You further decline into idiocy: "national, political boundaries"

The political boundaries had to do with immigration into a nation of immigrants. The national boundaries the same.

Dante does not deny HAMAS having an agenda that is abhorrent to civilized beings. There exists within the US, groups with abhorrent agendas. Given the weapons HAMAS had, they would not hesitate to use them on the civilian and military populations.

There exist many examples of terrorism in US history. What Dante does not list is the terrorism committed by the state. For just as with the state of Israel, the US has committed atrocious acts u[on groups of civilians. With Israel there is the issue of the Settlers - but that is a discussion in and of itself best left elsewhere..

I support the existence of Israel. I do not blindly back all actions by Israel, or become an apologist for her anymore. Those days flew the coup long ago.

I rate your post "fake news" because that's the harshest negative available; and because you start off with ad hominem. Drops your credibility about 75%.

Some of what you say is true and from the past, mostly distant past.

Review the 1948 "Arab v. Israel" war for better context and where the continuity of this "dispute" has major origins.

The U.N. presented a "two-state" solution to the "Palestine" problem in 1947-1948.

Jewish returning settlers to Israel accepted that solution. Arab/Muslim states did not and attacked the Jewish portions with intent to destroy Israel and kill any Jews who did not flee.

Also, "pogroms" in neighboring and regional "Muslim" nations against their Jewish citizens caused most of them to flee to Israel and other Western nations. These displaced persons(Jews) rarely get the sympathy that the "displaced" non-Jewish "Palestinians" receive.

In fact, the belligerent Muslim nations that attacked Israel declined to absorb the Palestinian refugees into their nations', rather placed them in "camps" to be used a political puppets and pawns to redo and re-fight Israel.

But understand how you believe your lies, many others do also.

The History of Terrorism in These United States: Part II​

Even Hollywood movies know a thing or two: The horrifying story of the systematic exploitation and murder of a community of Osage Indians in Oklahoma in the early 1920s.

On a warm late September day, somewhere in the bowels of a tony hotel on Central Park South, Scorsese is squeezing in a few more interviews before getting ready for the New York premiere of his new movie, “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Inspired by David Grann’s 2017 book of the same name, the adaptation tells the alternately gripping and horrifying story of the systematic exploitation and murder of a community of Osage Indians in Oklahoma in the early 1920s.

It’s new territory for Scorsese, who despite making movies about everything from Howard Hughes and Wall Street to Edith Wharton-era New York and Tibetan Buddhism, will always be best known for his films about gangs, ritualized violence and antisocial outsiders. Then again, the worlds of “Mean Streets,” “Taxi Driver,” “Raging Bull” and “Goodfellas” aren’t that far removed from the dusty towns of Osage County, where “Killers of the Flower Moon” (opening in theaters Oct. 20) takes place, and where greed, venality and nearly unfathomable brutality permeate nearly every echelon of society.

And in 1995, a rabidly religious Israeli Terrorist Assassinated a Man of Peace:

Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin

The assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, the fifth prime minister of Israel, took place on 4 November 1995 (12 Marcheshvan 5756 on the Hebrew calendar) at 21:30, at the end of a rally in support of the Oslo Accords at the Kings of Israel Square in Tel Aviv.
