What is the definition of “TERROR” The United Nations General Assembly condemned terrorist acts by using the following political description of terrorism in December 1994 (GA Res. 49/60): “Criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes are in any circumstance unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or any other nature that may be invoked to justify them.” Definitions include: "the deliberate killing of innocent people, at random, to spread fear through a whole population and force the hand of its political leaders" (Michael Walzer, 2002). "the organized use of violence to attack non-combatants (‘innocents’ in a special sense) or their property for political purposes" (C. A. J. Coady, 2004). "the deliberate use of violence, or threat of its use, against innocent people, with the aim of intimidating some other people into a course of action they otherwise would not take" (Igor Primoratz, 2004). "the use of force or violence or the threat of force or violence to change the behavior of society as a whole through the causation of fear and the targeting of specific parts of society in order to affect the entire society" (Arthur H. Garrison, 2004). "The premediated use or threat to use violence by individuals or subnational groups to obtain a political or social objective through the intimidation of a large audience beyond that of the immediate victims" (Todd Sandler, 2010). "a doctrine about the presumed effectiveness of a special form or tactic of fear-generating, coercive political violence... [as well as] a conspiratorial practice of calculated, demonstrative, direct violent action without legal or moral restraints, targeting mainly civilians and non-combatants, performed for its propagandistic and psychological effects on various audiences and conflict parties" (Schmid, 2011). Bruce Hoffman notes that terrorism is "ineluctably about power" “You can kill a terrorist, but if you destroy or kill innocent civilians, you create more terrorist in process.” Jason CROW

This is the Siman Tov family. #Hamas #terrorist killed each and every one of them on #Ocotober7. Tamar, Johnny, their five-year-old #daughters Shachar and Arbel, and their two-year-old #son Omer. None of them were spared But if any of them where alive today, perhaps they would #testify at the Kangaroo #court in The Hague. 🔹Although #Hamas has the goal of wiping out the Jewish people and obliterating the state of Israel written in its charter, it is #Israel that is being tried in the International Criminal Court of Justice (ICJ) for genocide. 🔹Although #hamas invaded Israel on #october7, murdered over 1200+ citizens and abducted another 240, it is Israel that is being tried in a court of "justice". 🔹Although #hamas and #gaza civilians celebrated the #rape, #torture and #killing of civilians, it is Israel that is being accused of inhumanity. 🔹Although Hamas can end this war at any point by laying down their weapons and returning the hostages, it is Israel and not Hamas that the United Nations has condemned and is demanding a ceasefire from. #clownworld #bringthemhome #standwithhumanity

📰 Press Release | Southport disturbances and far-right speculation online We urge heightened vigilance against foreign interference following far-right violence in Southport on 30 July. The spread of online disinformation and subsequent disturbances may reflect foreign efforts to stoke extremism. Our Executive Director, Adam Hadley, calls for action from government ➡ “This incident highlights the need for a national centre for open-source intelligence to analyse, share, and counter nation-state, terrorist, and extremist disinformation shared across the internet. The Home Secretary has rightly called on social media platforms to uphold their terms and conditions and challenge the feverish speculation that has taken place over Southport. However, given the possible role of foreign interference, we now need a concerted effort for platforms to identify and act against coordinated disinformation operations. A national centre of excellence that will conduct and openly share the results of their open-source intelligence investigations would enable society to hold platforms and the creators of online content to account, contributing to the resilience of our online and offline communities.” Read in full here: https://lnkd.in/dUz9tkwt #Southport #SouthportAttack #OSINT #FarRight #Extremism #Misinformation #Disinformation

#Russiaisaterroriststate launched a guided bomb at the geriatric boarding house in #Sumy. At the moment of the attack, there were 221 patients and 60 personnel. One person was killed and nine more wounded in this attack. What a horrific crime against humanity – to target such a vulnerable population. Russian has proved one more time that it rages this war against the entire nation with an intent of genocide and occupation. Russia needs to be stopped today. We urge our allies to lift the restrictions on the use of the weapons and #letUkraineStrikeBack to deprive #russianterrorists of capabilities to continue this senseless and unprovoked war against Ukrainians. #stoprussia #standwithUkraine #russiaisaterroriststate #warcriminals #letUkraineStrikeBack #collectiveresponsiblity #justiceForUkraine

Are the race rioters “terrorists”? Terrorism” is defined, (in essence) as committing violent acts with the intention of advancing a political or ideological cause [Terrorism Act 2000, s. 1]. Clearly the riots involve multiple instances of violence. There is also substantial evidence that participants did so to further a political cause (“immigrants out”/“take our country back”). Indeed, a cause arguably embraced by more than one political party. There seems, at the very least, a prima facie case to support terror charges. #law #humanrights #raceriots

💫 The rise in far-right hate crimes and extremist activities in the UK/Europe is alarming, driven by #social, #economic, and #political tensions, and amplified by digital media. ❗ #Radicalisation is the process by which a person comes to support terrorism and extremist ideologies associated with terrorist groups. ➡ Our Workshop | CHALLENGING THE FAR RIGHT | empowers participants to challenge #extremist narratives through a train-the-trainer model, featuring four interactive sessions designed for practical application. In this workshop, as a participant, you will: 👉 Increase knowledge of emerging trends and threats from the extreme far right, #farright proscribed groups, propaganda and manifestations of the extreme far right. 👉 Understand concepts such as ‘extremism’, ‘The Far Right’, ‘antisemitism’ and Islamophobia’. 👉 Recognise symbols, language and propaganda of Far Right groups and blended extremist ideologies. 🔗 Find out more here: https://bit.ly/499CY0b Anne-Marie Balbi, Ph.D. Dr Ramya Sheni, PhD Eliška Herinková Adam Thatcher Angie Suriyasenee Chidinma Nebolisa, AcArb Ioanna Santa Huseyin Cinoglu, Ph.D. Kafui Tsekpo Jade Hutchinson Emily Traynor Mayrand Ekaterina Khutorskaya Sulafa K.

Over the past few months, #Iran🇮🇷 has assumed leadership positions in several #UN bodies. * In 2023, #Iran🇮🇷 was appointed to chair the UN Human Rights Council's Social Forum. * Additionally, in June 2023, Iran was elected as rapporteur for the UN First Committee, which focuses on disarmament and international security issues. * Furthermore, in March 2024, Iran held the chairmanship of the UN Conference on #Disarmament. * However, such appointments have raised concerns about the credibility of the United Nations, particularly regarding its Human Rights Council. * The #UNHRC has been criticized for its perceived dysfunctionality due to biased statements and a distorted view of human rights issues after the massacre committed by #Hamas in #Israel. #ReleaseTheHostages It is essential for #Argentina🇦🇷 to consider their votes carefully, supporting Israel's right to defend itself against threats like #Hamas. Therefore, prioritizing efforts to address issues such as the release of hostages and promote peace and security in the region is crucial. #PresidentJavierMilei 🇦🇷🤝🇮🇱
The Human Rights Council will vote today on a shameful resolution condemning Israel and yet does not even mention #HamasTerrorists, or explicitly condemn its brutal acts on October 7. How many dead Israelis will it take to condemn Hamas? 1200 murdered is not enough. What atrocities will warrant condemnation? The sexual assaults, mutilation and torture of Israelis was not enough. How many victims must there be for the United Nations Human Rights Council to address Palestinian #terrorism? A vote yes is a vote for Hamas! A vote yes is a vote for undermining Israel's right to defend itself! A vote yes sends a clear message, me too, unless you’re a Jew! #standwithisrael
