I said you sounded a bit anti-Jewish,but I will take your word for it,that you are just anti-Israel,and I presume anti-Zionist,ok?

I trust you are anti-all groups and nations who are,and have been involved in land disputes,throughout history,or is it only the leftist agenda of focusing on Israel.
How is your anti-IS caliphate campaign going,or your anti-Taliban,anti-boko haram,and anti-wahabism campaign?

Justice and equality for all.

Jewish gangs used violence against the British,in order to further their aims,90 years ago,from their nationalist perspective in that time.

And it worked. They also imparted brutal campaigns at the time on the palestinan population - from which greater conflict grew.

Of course Britain and U.S. had to then deal with those perpetrators of those terrorism acts as they were then installed as head of state - Ben Gurion, Shamir et al.

It's not "sad" bringing that up, it was factual and was there to prove to Hippo that the number of terrorist acts perpetrated do not correlate with the number of people. End of.

Blue, if those things worked to further nationalist aims in the 40's, does that mean they gave in to terrorism?

Also... The sinking of the USS Liberty. What purpose did that serve? Was that state sponsored terrorism?

Hippo back to your point about a UN member state - should they be "forced" to abide by UN resolutions in order to resolve conflict - a lot of the tensions in the Middle East and some beyond have this issue playing a large part in their thinking.

I'd agree that state-sponsored terror has been almost a modus operandi for Israel for years. However, if we start counting that, surely we should also be counting every single attack perpetrated by Islamists in Syria, Irak, Lybia, Nigeria, Somali, Kenya, Chad, Mali, the Arabian peninsula, Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Russia/Caucasus, China, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines...

Don't see any point whatsoever in people arguing this point when they all agree that terrorism is the scourge it is.

Less Than 2 Percent Of Terrorist Attacks In The E.U. Are Religiously Motivated.

-----
That was the topic title, the unrest in France has probably contributed to this rising.

I was gonna say I hope it wouldn't have too much of an effect on that 2% number, but then that would mean these 50-odd incidences would be an insignificant number!
