Behind the definition of terrorism - part 1
No matter if Hamas is doing that to get back the rights of Palestine or not.
WHAT THEY DID WAS A TERRORISTIC ATTACK! and this has nothing to do with what Israel is doing now. Even if he did that to save Palestine, THIS IS NOT A JUSTIFICATION and the journalist has the whole right to call them terrorist organisation, because again:
Terrorism is defined by Title 22 of the U.S. Code as politically motivated violence perpetrated in a clandestine manner against noncombatants = EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID! Experts on terrorism also include another aspect in the definition: the act is committed in order to create a fearful state of mind in an audience different from the victims. Whether or not an act is considered terrorism also depends on whether a legal, moral, or behavioral perspective is used to interpret the act. If a legal or moral perspective is used, the values of the interpreter are the focus rather than the act itself. A behavioral perspective appears to be best suited for interpreting and reacting to terrorism.
Terrorism is directed toward goals that are political; in other words, terrorist actions are intended to guide or influence governmental policy. Thus, violent acts such as robbery, homicide, and kidnapping, which are committed in the furtherance of personal or criminal goals, are not included.
Second, terrorist violence is directed at noncombatants. Noncombatants are people who are not members of the military services or military members who are not actively involved in military hostilities. This criterion identifies terrorism as violence directed toward civilian populations or groups who are not prepared to defend against political violence.
The literature on terrorism has highlighted a number of elements. Here we will focus on five elements:
The first constitutive element of terrorism is represented by the use of violence ✅
The point that needs to be stressed here is that terrorism has a connection of some sort with the political sphere ✅
