@buckleycarlson@elonmusk@LauraLoomer Her definition of jihadists is extremely broad, includes everyone from the mayor of New York City to Tucker Carlson, and anyone in between who opposes Israel.
Don’t ever forget that by October 8th, Israel had already killed 413 Palestinians, including 78 children (more than twice the number of Israeli kids killed on October 7th). But for Joe these Palestinian lives don’t matter, they have no value. It is the very definition of racism.
@flockofravens2@StephenKentX Not stupid; apply the definition of terrorism equally to Orgs and Countries, then the Iraq War, funding AQ in Syria/Libya, and many other aggressive wars—unrelated to protecting US lives but carried out to achieve political aims—wouldn’t those be the cases of terrorism?
@martyrmade Yes. If one moves to a country that welcomes you & gives equal rights - should show gratitude & not taunts -especially at the time of such high sensitivity. Worry about demographic change is not just a white thing; every group feels it (In every country).
@TPUSA@MatNuclear Will be fun to apply the same definition of terrorism to the countries to see which one comes out on the top… then wonder which doctrine is governing it.
@Islamabdulhady@scrowder The translation talks about concealing one’s religion in order to protect himself from death. Like I said you are an idiot who doesn't know what he is talking about.
@KDanishefsky@marklarflash@mehdirhasan Providing a reason is not justification or agreement with the reason. Both are different. US presidents funded & used bin Ladin in 80s ag Soviet was GREAT but somehow his reasoning (not justification) ought to be outright dismissed cz he hated freedoms blah blah bullshit!?
Nope. Listen to what the FBI agents who investigated the 9/11 attackers told the 9/11 Commission:
“I believe they feel a sense of outrage against the United States. They identify with the Palestinian problem, they identify with people who oppose repressive regimes and I believe they tend to focus their anger on the United States.”

@marklarflash@mehdirhasan Making agreements with Taliban/ accepting their words as part of deals to get out of Afg GOOD; welcoming leader of ISIS at White House and making agreements/trusting him GOOD; funding/creating/using with OBL in 80s GOOD; OBL reasons for 9/11 NOT GOOD cz They hate our freedoms 😂
@mytempacct4now@dino_rosati@HabCorpLinguist They are. Per this definition of FBI - every act of violence in Iraq, Syria, Libya and many other countries - either directly or through proxies - was terrorism, or more precisely - christian terrorism (per your logic of assigning religion to terrorism, though I don’t agree)
@mytempacct4now@dino_rosati@HabCorpLinguist Now do the number of bombs dropped and shots fired in Iraq (illegal war and hence a terror attack), insurgents funded in Syria and Libya by CIA/ War industry and Afghan insurgents (that became alqaeeda) created, funded and used by US to fight Soviets. Count will be interesting.
@MofudgeS@yankees78781@jeremycorbyn He had nothing to respond on religious affiliation of who created/funded/used terrorists when the interests aligned with them but when the same people go rogue, then it’s Islamic terror etc … and just pivoted to attacking Canada.
@yankees78781@jeremycorbyn Radical Islamic terror by OBL who was created, trained and funded by, among others, Christians presidents from successive US administrations in 80s and 90s. So going by your logic, shouldn’t it be called christian facilitated, funded, trained Islamic terror?
@scapel63acr@washingtonpost Osama bin Laden and several other terrorist groups were created and funded by the US under Christian presidents. Also, should we consider the war in Iraq based on lies and the arming of rebels in Syria and Libya by the CIA as Christian terror campaigns too?
Who should we believe on genocide, Netanyahu’s pal, below, and ‘Grace’ from Will and Grace? And Boris Johnson?
Or Holocaust historians like Omer Bartov and Amos Goldberg, human rights groups like Human Rights Watch and Btselem, genocide scholars like Dirk Moses & William Schabas?
