I am confused why I am being downvoted?....please help me to understand why anyone would support terrorists. Would you like to be a plane that was hijacked? If you were on a plane that was hijacked, would you praise the rescuers as heroes? This is not difficult, so why are people downvoting mentioning that terrorists belong in prison? Seriously. Do HN readers support terrorism and giving a voice to terrorists?
> I am confused why I am being downvoted?....please help me to understand why anyone would support terrorists. Talking to terrorists does not imply supporting them. And I don't want Zoom or the US or Israeli governments deciding who I may speak with.
The Chinese have a great problem with terrorism and I find it likely that Zoom which has its servers in China, are not interested in antagonizing them by giving a voice to a hijacker.

Both sides of the Jewish-non-Jewish intra-semitic conflict in Palestine have committed or supported terrorism. Several anti-Arab Jewish supremacist terrorist organizations became part of the Israeli government upon the creation of the Jewish state in Palestine. If we were to totally ignore groups who have used terrorist tactics to achieve political objectives, there would be basically no one to talk to when it comes…
Those interested in the terror that the Jews did primarily against the British should read former Israeli PM Begin's book, The Revolt [1].
Begin's Irgun and the more extreme Stern gang were denounced by the official Israeli government at the time.
The largest loss of life by Irgun was the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem where the British administration had stored many files on Jews (and Arabs). The call to evacuate the building was made too late and about 90 people died, including 17 Jews. Begin would never had intentionally killed Jews, so it is recognized as a error and not by intent. Still Begin was responsible.
But primarily, in The Revolt available in Kindle for $5, the Irgun attacked infrastructure such as the Haifa refinery and railroads but also attacked an airfield of British bombers blowing them up. The attacks on infrastructure is far more embarrassing to the government than targeting people.
Still if you give terrorist a voice, then you open yourself to giving all terrorists a voice and I don't think governments would be open to that idea.
The Jewish terrorists of Irgun never sought to kill innocent women and children.
