I find it very interesting that Israelis may *annex* areas of Palestine and occupy them - and anyone who uses violence to oppose them is a *terrorist*, yet in Ireland where the fight is about whether a people whose every generation for over a millenia were born in Ireland and who wish to remain part of Britain, it's not *terrorism* to bomb, shoot, and terrorise the population in opposition to that.

We currently have three definitions of terrorism going on this thread. By all three definitions (Paul's, Russ' and mine) the actions of NI factions in bombing and shooting the population _are_ terrorism.

You are thus far the only person on this thread who said that NI factions bombing and shooting the population is not terrorism (albeit sarcastically). What definition of terrorism are _you_ using to arrive at that conclusion because it is certainly not mine, nor Russ' nor Paul's?

Trade.
