You seem quite obsessed with people on facebook. You should try getting over it, or make your own group.

Only because their obsessed with everyone else on this site.

You've been here on VJ long enough to know the TOS. The TOS is not about historical accuracy. It's about decorum.

You thought wrong Don't make it a habit.

Not true. Israel is and has been a terrorist state. If you could read, posting to you would be more productive. That would be nice, but alas . . .

I tend to disagree that terrorist states exist by definition. Terrorism IMO is linked to non-state players that lack a strong voice in any government.

If I applied the broad definition of State Terrorism to say the United States then arguably we as a nation are also a Terrorist State and each citizen is then a terrorist including you and me. After all our tax dollars have been soaked in blood in at least a few regional conflicts related to the cold war and maybe even recent conflicts that may or may not have been connected to profit via government contracts.

At any rate, if we are all terrorists then it does tend to water down the term doesn't it. I mean I'm 99% sure I haven't directly killed a person. That's different than say a person who purposely donates a bomb in a crowded area.

is it time for my "anh map for global mod" campaign yet?

I disagree. We're called a Christian nation, but that doesn't make all of us Christians.

The US government classifies suspect nations as those who are considered to be state supporters of terrorism, directly or indirectly involved in terrorist acts. That was the premise of us invading Iraq. So there is a clear precedent in our own foreign policy of using the term "terrorist" to refer to nations.

If that were true, P&R would be shuttered long ago.

That would make the US a supporter of terrorism, as the mission of Special Forces is to engage in guerrilla actions, i.e. recruit from the indigenous population to destabilize the current regime in a foreign country.

You changed your flag from Morocco (for years?) to Palestine, coincidentally, within about a 4 to 12 hour period after I temporarily changed my flag to Palestine.

Don't think I don't know/remember
