Re: Neutralise terrorists using terrorists: Indian Defence Minister
When states target “terorists” in foreign countries, they dont call such tactics “terrorism.” For example, when Mossad kills Hamas activists etc. Israel first of all never takes ownership of such killings, and even if they do, they don’t call it “terrorism.” It really comes down to semantics, because killing after all is killing, but in diplomatic parlance, no state can ever claim to employ “terror” on another group, at least not in those words.
The term “terrorism” implies the unjustified killing of innocent people… The Indian defense minsiter seems to have allowed his emotions to get the better of him. Its a rather stupid thing to say in public. He belittles his own position by saying such things.
