What criteria is used for terrorist designations? What is the due process used?RE: All The News Anti-Palestinian Posters Will Not Read Or Discuss
SUBTOPIC: Very Poor Logic and the application of a fallacy (ad Hominem).
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
BLUF: Identifying a person (or persons) as a "Terrorist" has been in the international political and judicial vocabulary since 1938. The use of such a term is just as valid as identifying someone as a "Palestinian."
Such things help to define a word that modifies a noun.
◈ Hostile Arab Palestinian◈ Terrorist Arab Palestinian◈ Hostile Arab Palestinian Terrorist.What Does It Mean,Why Is It Important, andWhat Should We Do With It?
(COMMENT)
Most educated people define the terms or outline why a term is not applicable. To play "Osterich" and stick your head in the sand in order to disavow knowledge that that the European Union (representing 27 Countries) identifies the following organizations as terrorist groups or entities:
(See 9/1/2019 Official Journal of the European Union) (COUNCIL DECISION (CFSP) 2019/25)
◈ Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade◈ Hamas’, including ‘Hamas-Izz al-Din al-Qassem◈ Hizbollah Military Wing◈ Palestinian Islamic Jihad◈ Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine◈ Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine — General Command
(COMMENT)
Should we just retire such words, simply because it offends the sensibilities of the perpetrator? (RHETORICAL) Well that is like saying that a neighborhood should not know has a resident "sex offender." That is like saying that you should not notify residents of a local center for helping former drug addicts, prisoners, psychiatric patients, or others has been established in their neighborhood.
More importantly, are the likes of communication and support these various Palestinian organizations have established. You have no doubt noticed that the Arab Republic of Egypt has simply closed its border crossing with the Gaza Strip. And this is a perfect case of "selective enforcement" on the allegation of "apartheid." Egypt completely closes it border crossing (not apartheid), but Israel is apartheid because: 80 percent of the goods entering the Gaza Strip pass through the Kerem Shalom Crossing. in terms of value, are purchased from Israeli companies and suppliers. The Kerem Shalom Crossing is economically vital for the Gazans to get their goods to market in the West Bank and Israel. The Israelis are now allowing some 10,000 Gazan Merchants and Sellers to pass into Israel through the Erez Border Crossing. The Rafah Border Crossing Point has recently reopened a portion of the crossing (one-way operations).
Most Respectfully,
