I'm pretty sure "targeted" is still pretty scary so counts as "terrorism?" I mean it's not the knocking out of infrastructure that wins in the end with asymmetric warfare as US found out after 20 years in Afghanistan and Vietnam. Jews are looking to scare people into submission by shows of superior force - basically getting their circumcised willies out (not very scary to those who are as nature intended). US was looking for "full spectrum dominance" and yet when you are invading a country that does not want you short of killing everyone there is nothing you can do. UK used to concentrate on "hearts and minds" in Malaya which worked much better than the Japanese approach. To this day the Malays prefer the Brits to Japs (and it's not all brainwashing). Something both the Americans and the Jews still have to learn (are they the same?). Old Donald Rumsfeld's thinly veiled terrorism relabelled as "shock and awe" doesn't actually work when people are prepared to die to protect their communities and ways of life. I think of Thermopylae and the Spartans holding up the Persians; there is great inspiration to be had in being defeated well. Problem for the Jews and Americans is the Old Testament Yahweh is a Bronze Age God who doesn't get all these subtleties. For the Jews its just monochrome David and Goliath and if David had lost the Jews would not be interested. Very primitive people.
A search for happiness in poverty. Happiness with personal loss, and a challenge to the wisdom of economic growth and environmental exploitation.
