"Jim, who is talking about "industrial action"?"
You are describing economic sanctions as terrorism on a thread that is about terrorists blowing up bus passengers - I find that appalling
I asked you if you thought industrial action was terrorism.
Basically, economic actions are the equivalent to industrial sanctions writ large - applying economic pressure to oppressive states rather than employers.
I asked for yur definition of terrorism - and answer, came there none.
I have pointed out that those who oppose economic sanctions are invariable those who are happy that things stay the same - response, came tere none.
I also pointed out that these people never come up with an alternative of their own - your silence on the matter confirms that.
I ask again, what is your definition of terrorism that includes economic sanctions.
It's nice to know that the you believe U.N., Oxfam, Amnesty International, human Rights Watch, the Anti Apartheid movement.... and numerous other international bodies are all terrorist organisations - all have called for economic sanctions to be taken against human rights abusers at one time or another.
I really can't believe that anybody would compare a nutter with a suicide bomb to somebody fighting to end Apartheid.
Jeremy Corbyn has just called for economic sanctions against banks and countries funding Isis - is he a terroris
Obama callled for economic sanctions against Russia and Cameron backed him - supporters of terrorism, no doubt?
Economic sanctions are workable alternative alternative to violence - they can in no way be described as terrorism
