Everyone’s worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there’s really an easy way: Stop participating in it.

Another problem with the official definitions of terror is that it follows from them that the US is a leading terrorist state.

Hamas is regularly described as 'Iranian-backed Hamas, which is dedicated to the destruction of Israel.' One will be hard put to find something like 'democratically elected Hamas, which has long been calling for a two-state settlement in accord with the international consensus'—blocked for over 30 years by the US and Israel. All true, but not a useful contribution to the Party Line, hence dispensable.
