I think the key word here is "invasion." There is only one juggernaut, and that is the industrial north rolling over the developing south. "Terror" is localized responses to Modernity and colonialism, it's not incipient fascism. And this is the second commenter in as many days (maybe you're the same person) to obsess about the "left making excuses for Palestinian terror." I'm sick of being implicitly accused of this. Go berate some other lefty! Last I heard, the Palestinians were victims of territorial aggression, not invaders of countries. Expressing a modicum of sympathy for them is not wearing an Arafat T-shirt, or ignoring suffering elsewhere.
