sure, but it is israel's militarisation which turned palestine into a terrorist state.
i think, because terrorist is such an emotive word to use, it cannot help but inspire fear. "military" does not hold these same connotations. terrorism implies provocation, and the word "military" implies defence. therefore, although technically used correctly by fugazifan, the words do not really mean anything, considering the death counts and the facts (i.e. 1948). in a situation like this we must stand away from messy rhetoric, and look at solid facts.
