I suggest that a person killing another person can be viewed as a terrorist, savage or hero - depending on the political leaning of the viewer.

I would ask our government and media to describe the action and let me decide if it is a terrorist act, a savage act or an act of heroism.

That politicizes something that should be obvious.

  • Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."
  • Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds.
  • Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location?
  • The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

"Obvious" describes something that is self evident. If it was self evident then everybody would see it the same way - we don't.

A number of people are part of a parade in the Middle East. A man jumps out of the crowd and tries to kill them and ends up stabbing at least 6. Police apprehend the perp.

Obviously another Muslim terrorist attacking some peaceful Israelis.

What? It was an ultra Orthodox Jewish Israeli? The marchers were part of a Jewish Gay Pride parade?

I guess this guy is a terrorist to those who were stabbed and most observers, a savage to those who disagree with someone using a knife to slice somebody up and a hero to some members of the ultra Orthodox community.

What was he to you?

A house in the Middle East is firebombed and a toddler is burned to death. This must be those terrorist ISIS cooking more captives to outrage the rest of the world. These ungodly terrorist savages should be hung immediately and the nation that harbors them be considered a terrorist state;

What? It was extremist Israeli Jews, tossing Molotov cocktails at a Palestinian family in their home and cooking a baby? How can that happen? Israeli's are not terrorists!!!

It certainly would not be accurate to paint all Jews with the same brush as those murdering religious extremists.

I said "IT WOULD NOT BE ACCURATE TO PAINT ALL JEWS WITH THE SAME BRUSH AS THOSE MURDERING RELIGIOUS EXTREMISTS !!!!!"

I suggest that these folks who murdered this baby and injured those Palestinians would be considered as terrorists by most observers, a savage by those disagree with burning toddlers to death and perhaps heroes to some members of the ultra Orthodox Israeli Jewish community.

What are these firebombers to you?

It should be considered a terrorist attack, especially considering that it follows in a line of so called "price tag" attacks by extreme zionists in recent years. That should be mentioned in the handful of news reports that are finding their way to western media, and also that most of these pricetag attacks aren't even in reprisal against Palestinian actions, but instead in reprisal against the Israeli Government for daring to put restrictions on settlers expropriating Palestinian lands in the West Bank.

A 16 year old female who was in that gay pride has died of her stab wounds. The killer had just been released from a 10 years jail sentence. He had been arrested, charged and convicted of ... stabbing a participant in a gay pride parade 10 years ago..
