P F Tinmore,
et al,
I cannot hardly believe you said this! I've been wrong all these years?
Terrorist is an Israeli propaganda term so it is no surprise that most Palestinian organizations get called this name.
If you take a close look at these groups:
(1)They do not operate outside of Palestine's borders.
(2)They do not target "civilians" (the legal term is "protected persons") as defined by the Fourth Geneva Convention.
They simply do not match the definition of terrorists.
The PA was set up by foreigners to outsource Israel's occupation to a Palestinian face.
(COMMENT)
And here, all this time, I thought that a terrorist engages in the systematic use of terror as a means of coercion.
I didn't know that Palestine had official borders. But I will grant that Palestinian Terrorists generally operate regionally, in the Middle East.
I suppose they are all foreigners, non-Palestine, is that correct? And they never launched a rocket into Israel, they never blew-up a bus, opened fire on civilian cars, highjacked a plane, or bombed civilians at a border crossing.
I supposed they didn't bomb the Rosh Ha'ir Restaurant; Bombed of American convoy in the Gaza Strip, or detonated a bomb in the Main Cafeteria at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel; all of which killed American Citizens. No, --- of course not. A Palestinian would never do that. It was all foreigners.
Now I suppose that all these organizations don't have a membership of the indigenous population known as "Palestinians."
- Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)
- The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)
- Abu Nidal
- HAMAS (Islamic Resistance Movement)
- Hizballah (Party of God)
- The Palestine Islamic Jihad (PIJ)
- Palestine Liberation Front (PLF)
- Al-Aqsa Brigade
- The Tanzim
And none of these organizations have never received material, economic, or direct support that has been used to conduct operations I've asked about. (Terrorist Supporter)
No -- "They do not target "civilians" (the legal term is "protected persons") as defined by the Fourth Geneva Convention."

OK, I believe you!
