Terrorism is Extortion on a National Level

Lebanon: From Lebanon, Green Resistance, calls for just that. Resistance. What does that mean? “the act or power of resisting, opposing, or withstanding” … and “the capacity of an organism to defend itself against harmful environmental agents”Gaza is in darkness. Where is our cry? Where is our resistance? Still in Lebanon, Ibn Bint Jbeil posts a number of paintings and cartoons to drive home the suffering in Gaza. He also writes: Gaza, Palestine, the largest concentration camp on Earth, is today under the most brutal, inhumane, genocidal siege. May God protect and bless them.

Terrorism is extortion at a national level. Essentially, the writer assumes for the Palestinians the Israeli reality for the past 60 years.
Israel is the nation surrounded by hostile neighbors since 1948. The Arabs threaten to kill all the Jews [genocide].
If the Palestinians had opted for peaceful economic development, they would have no need for the beggar bowl tactic.
