So I guess the IRA bombing of London was not a terrorist attack.
The dead Londoners will rejoice.
Ask BBC about the IRA and all you will hear from them is the word "terrorist".
I'm sure it is "terrorism" when they kill a reporter.
To the BBC, killing a Jew or an American would not even count as murder.
And then on the flipside you have that idiotic term, "homicide bomber." So many ppl seem to have lost their minds.
bump
BBC is Britain's version of the NY Slimes.
The BBC has fallen a very long way from what it was during WW 2.
Well not call them "terrorist" is also a "very value judgments"
So if there not "terrorist" what are they?
Are they soldiers? because if they are then targeting and killing unarmed civilians that makes them war criminal
Are the civilians? because if they are then targeting and killing other unarmed civilians that makes them mass murderer
So if they not "terrorist" what are they ... and what ever they are then targeting and killing unarmed civilians for political reason to create terror in a civilians population to leverage political change... and that is what the term "terrorist" was coined for to define
Ya know, if the situation were reversed, the BBC wouldn't hesitate to call the Israelis terrorists or worse.
I agree; the term "terrorist" is completely inappropriate in the context in which it is generally employed. In a sense, it glorifies the activities of these characters by offering a verbal category which separates them from the mainstream. It would be far more accurate and far more appropriate to refer to them simply as "ignorant, homicidal, criminal thugs." Wordy, but correct.
