Why is a school shooting in Israel a "Terrorist Act", but in the US it's a Mental Case?
   
A gunman kills 8 in an Israeli school and it is instantly labeled terrorism. No terrorist organization has claimed responsibility, Hamas denied responsibility, yet it is terrorism.

In the US 35 are killed by gunmen, 14, 6, 5, 3 and it is just a case of someone with mental problems and a gun.

I don't get it.

:thatsright:
Because in Israel, the shooting was carried out by palis while the shootings in the US were carried out by deranged individuals.

If palis did not attack Israelis, none of this would be happening.

2. because the one at the Isreali school was motivated by political
   
divisions, and the ones in the US are just plain jerks that can get guns easily.

4. Wait in the Seattle area...where the ELF burned the multi-million
   
dollar houses...this was the lead for the local news

Terrorist group "Elf" left their calling card...

No they are not terrorist they are arsonists criminals and to use the word terrorist anytime something happens is insane...this is exactly what happened in Pre-Nazi Germany.

We need to call the media on their laziness and jumping on the band wagon to label every crime a terroristic act.

terrorist activities on our soil....that's why....

Terrorism:The calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear

It seems to me that the ELF bastards fit this definition to a T...... :bs:

No, they are just trying to scare folks. They never "intend" on hurting anyone. Ask TNO.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

We don't call them DUmmies for nothing.

Terrorist:  Someone who uses violence for political purposes.  They are making a statement about their political views and are trying to sway the population into surrender in a war of ideas.  Take the Palestinian / Israeli conflict.  The gunman in the school shooting was acting politically and was affiliated with an anti-Israeli militant group.  That's why his actions were those of a terrorist.

Domestic Shooter:  Someone who has no political motives and is not part of any particular political group trying to gain notoriety or media attention for their "cause".  They are typically individuals who broke up with their girlfriend, feel someone has wronged them and are seeking revenge or are just plain mentally deranged.

Now chew on that for a while, DUmmies, and see if your peanut brains can put it all together.
