Israel is a Terrorist State

Introduction

The State of Israel, birthed through the violent campaigns of Zionist militias like Irgun, Lehi, and Haganah, carries a legacy of bloodshed that mirrors the tactics of modern terrorist organizations when judged by the standards applied to non-state actors today. From early assassinations and massacres to contemporary airstrikes on diplomatic facilities and targeted killings of political figures, Israel’s actions reveal a consistent pattern of violence designed to intimidate, coerce, and displace for political ends. If committed by a non-state actor, these acts—spanning a century—would unequivocally be labeled terrorism. Yet, Israel, rooted in this brutal history, hypocritically brands Palestinian women, children, aid workers, and journalists as terrorists, often without evidence, to justify its aggression. This essay defines terrorism, catalogs Israel’s violent acts with casualty details and terrorism classifications, and exposes the hypocrisy of its terrorist labeling, arguing that Israel’s actions, from its founding to its 2024 attacks on diplomatic targets, mark it as a terrorist state.

Chapter 1: Defining Terrorism

Terrorism, as defined by the Global Terrorism Database (GTD), is “the threatened or actual use of illegal force and violence by a non-state actor to attain a political, economic, religious, or social goal through fear, coercion, or intimidation, typically targeting civilians or non-combatants.” Key elements include intent (coercion through fear), targets (civilians, infrastructure, or symbolic figures), and actors (non-state entities). While state actions are typically judged under international humanitarian law (e.g., Geneva Conventions), applying this terrorism framework hypothetically to state actions reveals whether they align with terrorist tactics. Indicators include deliberate civilian harm, disproportionate force, or actions to intimidate or displace populations. For Israel and its Zionist predecessors, this lens exposes a strategy of violence to secure statehood, territorial control, or regional dominance, akin to tactics used by groups like al-Qaeda or ISIS. This definition frames the analysis of Israel’s actions as terrorism, holding it to the same standard as non-state actors.

Chapter 2: Chronological List of Terrorist Acts by Israel and Its Predecessors

Below is a comprehensive, chronological list of actions by Zionist groups (Irgun, Lehi, Haganah) and the State of Israel, including the 2024 attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus and the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, with casualty details and explanations for their terrorism classification under modern standards. Each act is assessed as if committed by a non-state actor, drawing from historical records, UN reports, and credible media sources.

This catalog—from 1924 assassinations to 2024 diplomatic attacks—demonstrates Israel’s reliance on violence to coerce, intimidate, and displace, aligning with terrorism if committed by non-state actors. The civilian toll (e.g., Deir Yassin, Gaza) and targeting of diplomatic sites (e.g., Damascus, Tehran) cement its terrorist legacy.

Chapter 3: The Hypocrisy of Israel’s Terrorist Labeling

Israel’s century-long record of violence—killing civilians in Deir Yassin, bombing embassies in Damascus, and assassinating diplomats like Haniyeh—stands in stark contrast to its reckless labeling of Palestinian women, children, aid workers, and journalists as terrorists, often without evidence. In Gaza (2008–2024), Israel branded entire communities as “terrorist strongholds,” bombing schools, hospitals, and UN shelters, killing thousands (e.g., 926 civilians in Cast Lead, 1,617 in Protective Edge, per B’Tselem). The 2024 World Central Kitchen strike (7 aid workers killed) and the 2022 killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, dismissed as a “terrorist affiliate” without proof, exemplify this pattern. The 2024 Damascus embassy attack and Haniyeh’s assassination, targeting protected diplomatic figures, further expose Israel’s disregard for international norms while accusing others of terrorism.

This hypocrisy is rooted in Israel’s refusal to confront its terrorist origins. Leaders like Menachem Begin (Irgun, King David bombing) and Yitzhak Shamir (Lehi, Bernadotte assassination) became prime ministers, their crimes rebranded as “freedom fighting.” Meanwhile, Palestinian resistance, even non-violent, is labeled terrorism, dehumanizing victims to justify atrocities. Israel’s 2021 designation of six Palestinian NGOs as “terrorist organizations” lacked evidence, drawing UN condemnation. By projecting the terrorist label, Israel deflects scrutiny from its own actions—massacres, embassy bombings, and assassinations—perpetuating a cycle of violence where civilian deaths are dismissed as collateral. This double standard, shielding a state built on terrorism while criminalizing others, underscores Israel’s identity as a terrorist state.

Conclusion

Israel’s history, from the Zionist militias’ assassinations in the 1920s to its 2024 attacks on diplomatic targets in Damascus and Tehran, is a relentless campaign of violence that would be branded terrorism if committed by non-state actors. From massacring civilians in Deir Yassin to bombing the Iranian embassy and killing Ismail Haniyeh on a diplomatic visit, these acts—targeting civilians, infrastructure, and protected figures—mirror the tactics of notorious terrorist groups. Yet, Israel shamelessly labels Palestinian civilians, aid workers, and journalists as terrorists without evidence, exposing a grotesque hypocrisy rooted in its unacknowledged terrorist origins. This double standard, coupled with a century of documented atrocities, marks Israel as a terrorist state, cloaking its violence in the guise of self-defense. The international community must hold Israel accountable, applying the same standards to its actions as to any terrorist organization, to end this cycle of violence and hypocrisy.
