       A comment: I thought quite a while about whether to use the #Terrorism tag on that post.What both the state of #Israel, and 'unofficial' gangs of #Israeli thugs, are doing in both #Gaza and the rest of #Palestine is terrorism. But the narrative in Western media presenting the Israelis as the 'good guys' and Palestinians as terrorists is so persuasive that I was worried that some readers might think I was accusing the victims of these attacks of terrorism.

       تعليق: فكرتُ مليًا في استخدام وسم الإرهاب في هذا المنشور.ما تفعله دولة إسرائيل، وعصابات بلطجية إسرائيل "غير الرسمية"، في غزة وباقي فلسطين هو إرهاب. لكن الرواية الإعلامية الغربية التي تُصوّر الإسرائيليين على أنهم "الأخيار" والفلسطينيين على أنهم إرهابيون، مقنعة جدًا لدرجة أنني خشيتُ أن يظن بعض القراء أنني أتهم ضحايا هذه الهجمات بالإرهاب.
