Shouldn’t terrorism be treated alike?
When terrorism targeting public premise with unarmed innocent people presence takes place, it is appropriately condemned as terror followed by due process, investigation and imposition of law.
Juxtaposed, the terror wreaked via warfare with precision attacks on hospitals, ambulance preventing emergency rescue to children crying SOS, schools, kindergarten, places of worship, residential buildings and all areas related to civilian dwelling and commute are carried out with authorization from above viz. the leadership at the helm as the head of the state, the leadership and those carrying out the atrocity are exempted from any rule of law – domestic, international and humanitarian law.
The terrorists recruited in terror act are subject to maximum legal punishment not barring capital punishment, while the terror committed by politics authorizing military to go to any extent from air raid to ground invasion and other abuse such as rape – the potent weapon deployed against women and even children in war zones merely treated as nothing more than collateral damages and rudiments of warfare.
The actions are even justified as the norm claiming that happens in warfare without any legal ramification to perpetrators beginning from the top to bottom.
Militarism is militancy and disproportionate militarism against civilians is deliberate intentional violence as described in terrorism using lethal weapon against a crowd.
Why is terror from terrorists organized, funded and directed mostly by politics and whoever is any different from terror reined via megaton bombs, missiles, air strikes, ransacking homes, rape, forceful expulsion and mass killings of innocent civilians publicly and politically approved by the Chief Executive in the executive branch and members of legislative branch of nations are not considered terror and punishable or even subject to punishable act of crime in society?
Await response on this bizarre terror discrimination.
