Terrorism

The Irish Republican Army evolved from the Irish Volunteers who staged the Easter Rising in 1916. In 1919, an elected assembly was formed in Ireland and the Volunteers were recognized by this assembly as an offical army. For three years the IRA used hit and run tactics against the occupying British forces in the Irish War for Independence.

Following the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, which established the Republic of Ireland as its own soverign nation, those within the IRA that supported the treaty formed the Irish national Army, those that did not fought a civil war with their former comrades but eventually lost. They remained together afterwards, intending to overthrow the Irish Free State and British controled Northern Ireland and creating a unified free Irish nation.

Keeping the IRA title, the anti-treaty splinter group continued its attacks against both the Republic of Ireland and the British forces in the North until 1969 when the group split once again into the Provisional Irish Republican Army, who supported more traditional Irish republican views and the Offical IRA who began embracing Marxism.

This newest encarnation of the IRA, or Provos, launched a thirty year campaign against British forces in Northern Ireland and various pro-British para-military orginisations that claimed nearly two thousand lives.

The Offical IRA began their own campaign but called a ceasefire in 1972 before disbanding entirely by the end of the decade.

1997 marked the end of the armed campaign for the IRA while its political wing, Sinn Fein, continues to grow more powerful in both Northern Ireland and in the Republic of Ireland.

The Israelis and the Palestinians are not fighting over the Gaza Strip. There are

presently no Israelis living there and no Israeli military forces stationed there.

The area is presently governed by Hamas, a political/military entity listed by the

US State Department as an international terrorist organization, and with the

explicit, publicly expressed goal of destroying Israel. Weapons and ammunition

are constantly flowing into the area, from Sinai, through tunnels under the

border policed by Egypt, and from time to time, rockets are launched from

inside Gaza and land in civilian neighborhoods in nearby Israeli cities. Also

from time to time, Israel mounts a military operation designed both to take

rocket manufacturing and launching facilities out of operation, and to register

its disapproval of their use. Like, say, the US might do, if, say, rockets launched

from Tijuana were to rain down on residential neighborhoods in San Diego.

To use force or the threat of force as a means to achieve political objectives.

Obviously, that information isn't publicly held at this time.

Bin Laden, originally from Saudi Arabia and an offshoot from the Saudi Royal Family had enough cash to move quite freely before 9/11. Even since 9/11 his movements, while undoubtedly restricted, are still possible.

The two general theories on his whereabouts are that he's moving nightly between the Afghan and Pakistan, assisted by the Taliban, or that this victim of long term kidney disease is now dead and we just haven't confirmed it.

Considering the rather huge bounties on his head, the question of, "Why has no-one turned him in yet?" loom large -- if he's alive.

Hamas is an Arab Muslim Terrorist and Paramilitary Organization. Hamas operates out of the Gaza Strip and Qatar. (Prior to 2011, Hamas operated out of Syria, but their Anti-Assad position during Arab Spring got them evicted from Syria.) Some particular elements of Hamas Ideology include:

Jihadist Ideology
In terms of politics, Hamas is a Jihadist organization. Jihadism is a political ideology whose goal is to bring a particularly repressive version of the religious tenets of Islam into the daily functioning of a government and its laws. Additionally, it believes that violence in defense of the faith is the preferred way to do this. Jihadism is a political ideology rooted in Islamic religious concepts, but not part of the Islamic religion per se. Hamas argues that its Jihadist struggle is part of the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided (in Islam). Because of the religious sectarian orientations, Hamas identifies itself as avowedly Sunni, but accepts Shiites because of Iranian funding.

Anti-Israel Sentiment
In the Jihadist conception, only Muslims should be in power in the State and any non-Muslim minorities should have a secondary role if they should have one at all, whereas Jews are too "uppity" in having created a state where they are in the dominant position. Second, Israel is situated in territory which used to be governed by Muslims for nearly 1300 years (with a century-long break under the Crusader States). As a result, Israel is considered a usurpation of historical Islamic authority whereas European countries (for example) never had Islamic authority before.

Anti-Semitism (Jew-Hatred)
Hamas is a virulently Jew-hating Organization. Not only do they oppose Israel's very existence, they have references in their charter to the elimination of all Jews throughout the world. While Islam is not inherently Anti-Semitism, its doctrines are easily to meld to an Anti-Semitic world vision and historically have been melded in such ways. Islam has several Anti-Semitic thrusts. In addition to the crucifixion of Jesus the Messiah (which is not deicide in Islam since Jesus is not God in Islamic theology and because Jesus eluded the attempt to crucify him), Muslims have made the argument that Jews are the killers of the Prophets plural, even though Jesus was the only one of the 35 prophets in the Qur'an who Jews attempted to kill (per Islamic teachings). Additionally, Muhammad and the early Muslims had negative political and military relationships with Arabian Jews which led to Anti-Semitism having a greater prominence in the early Islamic tradition. Hamas has endorsed and promoted all of these Anti-Semitic Views.

Terrorism and Attacking Civilians
The most common and identifiable Hamas terrorist action is the suicide bomber who blows himself up to take out some enemies as well as himself, but Hamas has increasingly used missiles and rockets. Most Muslim terrorists wish to inspire fear in their enemies and therefore primarily attack civilians, considering them part of the enemy.

Palestinian Nationalism
Hamas argues that the Palestinians are the indigenous people of the southwest Levant and Hamas is aggrieved that people from abroad would come to the land that their people's parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents had lived on and worked for as long as they could remember. Hamas refuses to help settle Palestinian Refugees and encourages the children and grandchildren of refugees to remember where in current-Israel they came from: the exact village and street. The point is to create an emotional and intractable grievance to push for Palestinians having the right to go back to their homes in contrast to more realistic solutions.

Welfare for Public Support
Since Hamas exists in Palestine, which has a weak internal support structure, it will use its own funds to build schools, parks, hospitals, and other social services in the communities it occupies. It provides goodwill with the local inhabitants and allows them to more effectively spread whatever messages they may wish to say.

Irreverence Towards Democracy
Hamas has actively engaged in elections in Palestine with its own political parties. However, the engagement is a farce, because if the governments formed after the elections were not desirable to Hamas, Hamas has engaged in militant actions to force the national government to capitulate to their desires. As a result of Hamas's discontent there was a Palestinian Civil War in Gaza and the West Bank. Hamas continues to murder Fatah militants and politicos in the Gaza Strip as a method of securing power.

Power. Everyone is looking for power, and terrorism is a way to get it. If you hold the entire world on a string, if you can make them go back on their defining principles, if you can stop them from believing in themselves, their hopes, their futures... How much more influence could you have?

In that the UN supersedes national borders, it meets the criteria for being a supranational organization. Generally speaking, the UN provides four major services at the international or supranational level:

1. Education

2. Food and medical (both disaster response and infrastructure).

3. Negotiation and mediation (to include sanctions as well as a general forum).

4. Support of police actions.

The IRA no longer exists. They were active in Ireland and Britain.

The steps taken by the Indian government to stop terrorism are quite a number. The common ones include random patrols in various places and having security cameras in populated areas. There are also impromptu operations where citizens are required to produce identification.
