    Did you know that Nelson Mandela was a terrorist? Seriously. He was a terrorist leader. He co-founded uMkhonto weSizwe. A anti-apartheid terrorist organization.

    And the IRA. Terrorists that lived their car bombs.

    The US military has explicitly used terrorist tactics in war.

    As for Hezbollah… They were founded when Israel invaded Lebanon to act as a resistance force. Since Israel still holds Lebanese territory Hezbollah still has a reason to exist.

    It also doesn’t help that the IDF has been launching air strikes and assassinations in neighboring countries since the 50s…

    Which really makes the IDF the true terrorist organization here.

      It is funny because the first official terrorism in Palestine was by the Zionist militant group. The UK called them terrorists because they bomb a hotel where the UK officials staying at. It is clear they are gaslighting people. There attempts are not working because media can no longer control the narrative.

        There were actually several zionist military groups. The Irgun, the Haganah, and the worst of the bunch, the Lehi.

        And they did more than bomb a single hotel. They were a bunch of evil assholes who massacred villages, which is what started the first Arab-Israeli war.

        The Lehi hated the British so much that they repeatedly tried to join the Nazis in WW2. The death camps were common knowledge among Jews who escaped Germany, and yet, the leaders of Lehi still wanted to join Hitler in fighting the British. They also really liked the Nazi writings about wiping out “inferior races” but decided that since they were “god’s chosen” they swap the races around a bit and put Arabs at the bottom.

        And in 1980, the surviving members all got medals issued to them by the IDF for their role in helping to found Israel. Issued by the surviving (second) leader, who was the Israeli Prime Minister at the time, and was Netanyahu’s political mentor.
