It should be acknowledged that the designation "terrorist" has lost all meaning since 9/11. When used by the US, Israel and the western colonial allies, the word is actually referring to: "any dark skinned (though could be any color, such as in Eastern Europe) people, preferably poor, peacefully living on land on top of oil fields, resources, strategic waterways such as the Bab-el-Mandeb, the Strait of Hormuz or the Panama Canal, etc. that the USI covets, but who resist (as is their right under international law) so that the United States of Israel is forced to viciously overwhelm and destroy them, especially civilians, fathers, mothers, children, the sick and elderly, with "the most lethal" industrial weapons, toppling their governments, stealing, raping and pillaging, all the while making gargantuan military-industrial-corporate profits at any cost and without a shred of conscience or remorse, and unenforceable international laws be damned."

Did I leave anything out?

Back in the 1980’s the CIA trained terrorists in C America to terrorize! One example, a Catholic nun working with the church trying to advocate for minimal land reform was abducted, tortured, gang raped, thrown. In a pit full of dead bodies, taken out and shot in the head and dumped in a ditch! Somehow she survived and was rescued! American foreign policy, something to really be proud of!!

No Liana you said exactly what all the international governments should be saying but are too frightened because they all bow to the dollar...that's all; it isn't because America is great or strong, it is because it was a vast and pristine landmass that was systematically pillaged by the nations of Europe mainly...uncontrolled greed and brutality "forged" this mistake of a nation. When I think of America I envision a huge lavatory pan that needs a massive toilet brush that only God could wield and great silos(such as are raised on the Great Plains) filled with powerful disinfectant! And when I think of Israel it is a paltry little artificial country resembling an 1880s spittoon that the Devil would like to spit in and obviously has! Bravo to all the decent pro-Palestinians who understand right from wrong whilst the brutal and cowardly ignorant refuse to admit that they are totally and utterly wrong. Even the dreadful suffering of children doesn't penetrate their callousness. They believed the decades old Israeli propaganda hook, line, and sinker. When people of colour rightly express the fact that they face prejudice they are attacked for "playing the race card" when the Israelis and many Jews have tried to deflect any criticism of them by inventing the term antisemitic...but If people are wicked, evil, or otherwise repulsive, it matters not where they come from...Borneo, Luxembourg, The Isle of Wight, or Argentina...call them out for the bastards they are! In an ideal world all the indoctrinated Israelis and Americans, indeed from any country that cannot see the injustices against the long-suffering Palestinians, should be sent to Trump's mates region; Siberia.
