Quote:aslamsdoes anyone notise how israil just hates muslims? they kill our sheikhs and stuff yet not one calls them \"terrersts\". sadThe politics of terrorism are indeed complex, and the term is used in questionable ways to condemn certain groups while exonerating others.However, Israel is not some evil country hell-bent on destroying Islam. I might agree that this is true of the Israeli far-right, who want to annex various parts of the Middle East into a "Greater Israel," but be reminded that Israel does indeed have many Arab citizens, and they do not prevent Arabs from gaining and holding citizenship there. Further, much of Palestine's economy is based in Israel as so many Palestinians work there and bring that income back home.
I'm saying this not to pretend that Israel has not committed its share of atrocities, but to remind you that the picture is not so simple as "us= good, them=bad."
