The Israeli army Chief of Staff Halevi visited a base for the 91st Division in northern Israel, but far from the Lebanese border.

📰 ‘Terrorism’ is a propaganda term, unlike ‘war ⁠crimes’

Israel's propaganda distorts the war as an ‘anti-terror operation’. Media and international orgs explain why they refuse to speak of ‘terrorism’ for alleged Hamas crimes on Oct ⁠7:

AFP press release (Oct 28): «AFP does not describe the perpetrators of such acts, past and present, as “terrorists”. […] AFP will say that a group has been designated as terrorist by a govt or an institution. […] As a term, terrorist is highly politicised and emotive. Many governments brand their domestic resistance or opposition movements as terrorist organisations. Many resistance movements and individuals that were branded as terrorist went on to be embraced internationally and became part of their countries' mainstream political landscape. Perhaps the most famous example was Nelson Mandela.»

Amnesty International France (Nov ⁠2): «We don't use the term ‘terrorist’ but ‘armed group’, in this case Palestinian, because ‘terrorist’ is not recognized in international law. If we want justice, we must qualify precisely: ‘Palestinian armed group, guilty of war crimes’

BBC guidelines: «We should not use the term ‘terrorist’ without attribution. […] We should use words which specifically describe the perpetrator such as ‘bomber’, ‘attacker’, ‘gunman’, ‘kidnapper’, ‘insurgent’ and ‘militant’. We should not adopt other people’s language as our own.»

BBC World Editor (Oct 11): «I've seen for myself the aftermath of attacks like this one in Israel, and I've also seen the aftermath of Israeli bomb and artillery attacks on civilian targets in Lebanon and Gaza. […] But this doesn't mean that we should start saying that the organisation whose supporters have carried them out is a terrorist organisation, because that would mean we were abandoning our duty to stay objective. […] We don't take sides. We don't use loaded words like “evil” or “cowardly”. We don't talk about “terrorists”»

From the remains of the house destroyed in Aita al-Shaab, the remains of a Qur'anic page that reads

"Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of Taghut [great evil]. So fight against the allies of Satan. Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak."


الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ الطَّاغُوتِ فَقَاتِلُوا أَوْلِيَاءَ الشَّيْطَانِ ۖ إِنَّ كَيْدَ الشَّيْطَانِ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا
