Israel has attacked targets in neighbouring countries. Isn’t that terrorism?
Israel is a repeat offender against Syria: this missile attack took place on July 19, 2023.
I was going to do an in-depth article on this, but then I realised that I don’t have to.
If someone sets off a bomb, triggers a firearm or commits another act of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims, we describe that as an act of terrorism. It doesn’t matter if the perpetrator is an individual or a foreign government.
The government of Israel has attacked targets in Lebanon, Syria and Iran for political reasons.
That is terrorism. Israel is now a terrorist genocidal state.
Here’s the information you need:
Usually Western leaders would condemn such violations of national sovereignty. Now they are dead quiet, revealing their hypocrisy and double standards.

In Iran, Israel’s bombs killed 84 people:
Now just who do you think is behind this terrorist attack? https://t.co/6G1mRVNRdW

Danger: the West is playing with fire. First, Israel attacks southern Beirut (Lebanon). Second, there is an attack near the grave of Qassem Soleimani in Kerman (Iran). Third, the West has started to provoke the Yemeni forces to defend *their* sovereign waters.

Oh, and here’s one more point:
Ok, so why are there 22,000 dead in Gaza? pic.twitter.com/OAbatS7e2P

The question of whether there really were no civilian casualties has yet to be answered (see above), but even if the claim is true, that simply means Israel’s slaughter of the innocents in Gaza is deliberate.

It’s the old story what is done depends on who does and to whom in some it is seen as a defence of democracy, an attack of retaliation, an act of terrorism and others.
But any attack on another country is wrong whether who makes the first action, but in world affairs is appears there is a degree of wrong and then that decides how the action is viewed.
Attacks on other countries can be because of fears of being attacked, being attacked, greed, opposition to religion, race, cultures and others.
There is the UN who should be there to maintain peace, but countries tend to accept the UN when they agree with proposed actions and don’t accept the UN when they disagree and then there are the fence sitters who can’t decide if they agree or not.
That is not keeping the peace for there is no real punishment for going against the UN, so in effect the UN has very little real power, but costs to run, would we be better off without the UN or not. But the UN does do some charity work which should be good, but many times the conflicts that arise means the UN stop the charity work, when in effect it is even more needed.
But in all instances safety is the main consideration and in some instances that is why acts of violence occurs which seems like inconsistencies in world affairs.
All world leaders should be held to account and acts taken against them to ensure that they are, for it is seldom that the populations of countries which are the problem but the leaders of countries, but the leaders tend to survive in most instances while the populations are the ones that suffer most.
The power balances are all wrong and do need to be addressed, but how, now that is the question.
