  • Boaz Ganor's Definition Of Terrorism

    1291 Words  | 6 Pages

    Ganor agrees with this idea in that any state can currently define what terrorism actually is according to their perspective and worldview, although he disagrees that they should subjectively be able to define the word in the first place (292). Throughout the piece, Ganor stresses the importance of an international definition of “terrorism” being accepted as many factions can abuse the current ambiguous definition of the word. This ambiguity allows any state to decide and define what violent acts can fall under the category of being committed by a “terrorist” or a “freedom fighter”. If a singular worldwide definition of the word “terrorism” is adopted, many different issues can be resolved such as countries and organizations being held responsible for carrying out terrorist attacks (Ganor 289). Under the current national law, “organizations are not specifically prohibited from perpetrating actions that are considered illegal and abhorrent when carried out by sovereign states” (Ganor 289).

  • Osama Bin Laden On Terrorism

    The world today is facing a crisis and there seems to be no resolution in sight. The war on terrorism has been going on for many, many years and it appears as if the leaders of the world are baffled as to stop it or if nothing else, control it. Many scholars have a difficult time attempting to define a good definition for the word terrorism. Many believe it is a difficult word to define because there are so many interruptions to the word. It will depend on what part of the country one is in, but for the universal approach to the definition many believe terrorism is “the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce esp for political purposes” (Dyson, 2012, p. 19).

    The term terrorism is inextricably intertwined with the notion of foreign actors unleashing widespread disaster on American soil. This notion is not unfounded and carries a very real and very dangerous threat to the US. While the US must of course be constantly vigilant with regard to the threat of an attack emanating from a foreign land, the US must also consider an equally dangerous threat that lurks in our own backyard: the domestic terrorist. Make no mistake, the use of the word domestic should by no means diminish, and should in no way normalize the malevolency these groups perpetuate. One is tempted to limit one’s thinking regarding domestic terrorism to the latest news story and how that may affect the US in the here and now.
