Isreal ser nå alt palestinerne gjør som TERROR.
Det påpeker journalist Noa Landau i en artikkel i Haaretz 8. januar 2023:

"Israel Sees Palestinian Human Rights Groups as Terrorist Organizations"
Når humanitær virksomhet blir "terror" ...
Når diplomatisk virksomhet blir "terror" ...
Når juridisk virksomhet blir "terror" ...
... DA mister ordet terror sitt innhold.
Og det blir snarere avsenderen som ikler seg begrepet.

Israel Sees Palestinian Human Rights Groups as Terrorist Organizations

Among the myriad problems in the security
cabinet’s decision to “punish” the Palestinians for their diplomatic
efforts to fight the occupation was one particularly dangerous and harsh
element. Part 5 of the summary of the cabinet’s decision states:
“Actions will be taken against organizations in Judea and Samaria that
promote terror activities or any hostile activity, including
diplomatic-judicial action against Israel in the guise of humanitarian
activities.”
The
significance of this decision is an official declaration of war on all
Palestinian civil society groups fighting the Israeli occupation by
peaceful means. No more legal squirming to find shaky evidence
connecting Palestinian human rights groups to terror, as former Defense
Minister Benny Gantz did with regard to the seven organizations that he recently outlawed in a decision that many countries still consider strange.
Instead of bothering to invent such
indirect connections, the Israeli government simply declares in black
and white that as far as it is concerned, all diplomatic and judicial
action, that is, non-violent opposition, is fundamentally “hostile” and
in the same bracket as terrorism.
In other words, to the Israel of today, Palestinian diplomatic activity
is diplomatic terror, Palestinian court appeals are judicial terror,
pro-Palestinian boycotts of goods are economic terror, a Palestinian
demonstration is terror against public order, and a Palestinian protest
song is musical incitement to terror.
Of course, the same goes for Palestinian
democratic opposition at the ballot box. From Israel’s perspective, this
is demographic terror. As playwright Hanoch Levin put it in “Security
Instructions in the Occupied Territories”: “A man walking down the
street glancing nervously from side to side and over his shoulder shall
be suspected of being an Arab terrorist; a man walking down the street
and looking calmly ahead of him shall be suspected of being a
level-headed Arab terrorist.”
According
to Israel, the Palestinian people have no legitimate or legal way to
fight to achieve its national aspirations, because Israel isn’t really
just fighting Arab terror, it is fighting the Palestinian national
struggle – in any form it takes.
This decision is utterly absurd not only
because it gives the same weight, legally and morally, to violent
opposition and non-violent opposition (according to Israel, both are
equally prohibited), but also because it empties the meaning out of the
Israeli definition of terror.
When the world sees that Israel shutters Palestinian human rights groups
charged with “hostile diplomatic activity” or “hostile judicial
activity,” or organizations whose only sin is “humanitarian activity,”
which to Israel is “in the guise of” general hostility – what will they
think of the Israeli claim toward other organizations it will define as
“terror organizations” over the years?

Israel erases the differences between these categories with its own two
hands. In the case of the seven organizations that were recently
outlawed, perhaps that was for the best. Israel is now helping the
countries that donate to them belittle Israel’s definitions of terror
and continue to contribute to them.
If the cabinet’s decision is to treat all
Palestinian civil society groups as terror organizations (although it is
not clear exactly what “actions” will be taken against them), this will
be a major test for the human rights groups on the other side of the
Green Line.
We
need solidarity not only because it’s the right thing to do, but also
because the norms and practices of such persecution never stop in the
territories; they always creep into Israel itself. Equating civil
activities to terror will not stop with the Palestinians. It will
trickle first to Palestinian organizations within Israel, and then, of
course, to Jewish leftist groups.
