For example no one can doubt seriously that most of Israel’s military over action has
been the result of grave attacks inside the state. The checkpoints, the curfews, even the
wall, have all been attempts of Israel to protect its civilians from been, usually
strengthens after recent attacks.
Alleged oppression and injustice, the defence of the people against tyrants are always
present in the argument: “It should not be hidden from you that the people of Islam had
suffered from aggression, iniquity and injustice imposed on them by the Zionist-
Crusaders alliance and their collaborators; to the extent that the Muslim's blood became
the cheapest and their wealth as loot in the hands of the enemies. Their blood was
spilled in Palestine and Iraq”, Osama Bin Laden, “Declaration of War against the
Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places”, Delaware Criminal Justice
Council Terrorism Research Page, http://www.state.de.us/cjc/binladen.htm, (October 13
2003).
From Robespierre to Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Nechaev, Bakunin and even Osama Bin
Laden, the historical examples show that terrorism cannot be explained by the cause,
but it can be defined by the rationalization, logic and perception of how to effect
change. “Terrorists are different when viewed from the social context of time, the target
selection of the terror, the reason for the use of terror, the justification for the use of
terror, the evil that terrorists seek to address, and the goals they have. These and other
factors will always differentiate terrorists in history, time and place. But the use of
terror as a tool to achieved desired goals has not changed”, Garrison, pp. 262-263.
