    Firstly ... what is a terrorist? Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu should know better than most, after all he continuously uses the term and many on this forum believe every word that he says.

    Bibi Netanyahu on terrorism: https://www.thenation.com/article/essential-terrorist/
    (While the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations in the 1980s)

    “The root cause of terrorism lies not in grievances but in a disposition toward unbridled violence. This can be traced to a world view which asserts that certain ideological and religious goals justify, indeed demand, the shedding of all moral inhibitions.”

    Given this definition, let us test the reality of Israel/Palestine using REAL facts

    Facts regarding “unbridled violence – Part 1: The example of the 2014 Israel/Gaza war - Operation Protective Edge:

    Sources: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...a-conflict-50-day-war-by-numbers-9693310.html; https://wiki2.org/en/2014_Israel–Gaza_conflict#Casualties_and_losses

    Fatalities:........................Gaza - ~2200...............Israel – 71

    Of which children...........Gaza – 490..................Israel - 1

    Injured:...........................Gaza – 11 000..............Israel – 256

    Homes destroyed:..........Gaza – 20 000..............Israel – 2

    Displaced:......................Gaza – 500 000............Israel - < 100


    First question: Based on REAL facts, which side uses “unbridled violence”?

    Conclusion: Terrorist Label Score ........- Israel 100 / Hamas 2

    [to be continued
