The problem with accepting military work is that foreign governments will now consider you a legitimate military target.

Iran has been very liberal with what it considers military targets. There is no evidence rejecting military work has protected anyone from it.

Somehow with all the thingamajigs that the Israeli apparatus has, from spy networks to informants at the upper levels of the IRGC, and a heavily militarized population, and a heavily fortified border along both the West Bank and Gaza (even more than the Jordanian or Egyptian borders), somehow they still couldn't detect and stop a breach of their barricades.... Hmm.....

And let's not forget, all of this happened right when protests in the streets against Netanyahu were at their highest levels.

If I found a group of terrorist sympathizers invading my property and dancing on it I wouldn't be very empathetic to them.

But it would be your choice to commit terrorism back at them. Plenty of people across history have chosen both ways. It tends to go much better for one group over the other.

I don't think that's "terrorism" as much as it is self defense. The Haitian Slave Revolt and Indigenous American Pueblo Revolts come to mind as analogous military actions that produced positive results.

		> don't think that's "terrorism" as much as it is self defense Everyone says this. If October 7 had limited itself to military targets, this would have been different. If current polling showed Gazans pushing for only military retaliation, I think things would be different. Everyone has the right to self defense. But everyone also gets judged by how they do it. > Haitian Slave Revolt Claimed territory with a plan for maneouvre. Not particularly comparable outside minor tactical elements. > Indigenous American Pueblo Revolts come to mind This is a good analogy. I’ll have to read up on it more. To wit, however, they eventually accepted the new—awful, unfair and racist, I may add, but survivable and superior to the alternative of endless war—status quo.

The Iranians have considered anyone doing business with the Israelis a "legitimate military target" since 1979.

To be fair I consider those people doing business with israelis legitimate military targets as well.

		So you think a foreign distributer for some random Israeli agricultural product is a legitimate target? That's disturbing.
