Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostI don't recall a huge number of redneck school shootings in Western Europe. And the world graph does include armed assault and hostage taking, so I'm not totally sure what your point is.
e.g. When Palestinians attack Israelis is that terrorism, and is it terrorism when Israelis attack Palestinians?
The definitions can get blurred at times.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

However, the figures exclude any claimed state terrorism. If you exclude state terrorism, then the answer to your questions are 1) yes 2) no, because the attacks various factions of the Palestinians make on Israel are not sanctioned (officially!) by the Palestinian state.

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostWrong again. Your link was totally useless. The graph is from an entirely different source.
The whole website is fascinating actually if you bother to take a look. Lots of analysis and data including this, very accessible work, from the front page:
https://www.start.umd.edu/gtd/featur...ta-Rivers.aspx
And what it shows....
More terrorism today than the 1970's.
Oh but you were just talking about Western Europe
Well that's very narrow minded.Comment
