Here's a language anomaly that linguists might
find particularly intriguing for a case study in
how the manipulation of language carries a
distinct underlay of 'what's in a word' messaging
absorbed by the subconscious to satisfy a lesser
designation of violence linked to an ancient antipathy.
Take for example the use of the descriptive: 'terrorist'
reserved for acts that fall clearly into that category
aptly describing violence whose purpose is to
fearfully intimidate, to inspire and to instill fear
through threats and acts of lethal violence. Those
who scheme to terrorize a community, to destroy
its security and commit mass slaughter are by
their very hate-inspired actions and acts named
terrorists. Exceptions made and generally accepted
when there is little public sympathy for a long-
suffering ethnic/religious/cultural group infamously
targeted throughout history upon whom deadly
attacks are committed by 'gunmen' and 'assailants'
where the commission of violence by terrorists in
terminology reserved for others cannot be extended
for to do so would amount to recognition of their
indisputable human rights not relished by Jew-haters.
