"Investigation--Example 2: Internet hate sites, as well as Fisk, attribute this derogation of Palestnians as “two-legged beasts” to former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin. The source generally given is:

Menachem Begin, as quoted in Amnon Kapeliouk, "Begin and the Beasts,"New Statesman, June 25, 1982

Indeed, the radical French-Israeli journalist, Amnon Kapeliouk, did attribute such a quote to Begin in his New Statesman article criticizing Israel’s invasion of Lebanon. The author posited:

For this reason the government has gone to extraordinary lengths to dehumanise the Palestinians. Begin described them in a speech in the Knesset as "beasts walking on two legs".

However, further investigation by CAMERA reveals that the actual speech upon which Kapeliouk based his quote, as well as news reports at the time demonstrate that the journalist distorted the quote, giving it a completely different tone and meaning. Begin was talking, not about "the Palestinians" but about terrorists who target children within Israel.

On June 8, 1982, Begin addressed the Knesset in response to a no-confidence motion over Israel's invasion of Lebanon. He talked about defending the children of Israel, and according to a June 9, 1982 AP report, “his voice quaver[ed] with anger and sadness.” According to the minutes of the session, Begin stated:

The children of Israel will happily go to school and joyfully return home, just like the children in Washington, in Moscow, and in Peking, in Paris and in Rome, in Oslo, in Stockholm and in Copenhagen. The fate of... Jewish children has been different from all the children of the world throughout the generations. No more. We will defend our children. If the hand of any two-footed animal is raised against them, that hand will be cut off, and our children will grow up in joy in the homes of their parents.

Kapeliouk neither recanted nor apologized for his deception. "

Humans can act like animals, they can be monsters. I'm pretty sure that everyone [including Bowser] has had at least brief moments in his life, when he/she has "lost it" due to certain various kinds of circumstances- anger, loss, drugs, or whatever. The "whole point" about terrorism is it is de-humanizing.
You could define terrorism as the deliberate intention of being a monster- or making other think "you"/"our cause" are monsters.

Now, what is the difference between an enemy and a terrrorist? Obviously a terrorist is an enemy, but a soldier has rules: throughout history there has been various kinds of "rules of engagement". And there has always been "debates" about what is proper conduct in war and what isn't. For example the use of submarines and snipers in WWI & WWII are "classical" examples of this kind debate. BUT to dismiss this "debate" as quaint & old fashion; to think that there is no *real* difference *actually* between terrorism and warfare is MERELY an admission of one's ignorant and indicates a habit of belittling all aspects of life in general- in other words, stupidity.

Terrorism maybe hard to define, but so is Jazz, baseball, or whatever. But if you took any professional soldier from two thousand years ago, he would have good grasp of the difference. Warfare has always involved covert acts, denying the enemy supplies, finding the enemy, and seeking an advantage over the enemy. Soldiers are trained, have discipline, and are distingishable from non-soldiers {civilians}.
