The aftermath of an Israel strike on a school in Minab, Iran [Abbas Zakeri/Mehr News/WANA via Reuters (Al Jazeera – March 3, 2026)]
This article appeared on the Al Jazeera website on March 3, 2026. It is straightforward and convincingly documented.
It appears that the US government, as well as the Israeli government engaged in a deliberate act of terrorism resulting in the murder of 165 innocent civilians, mostly girls between the ages of 7 to 12 in southeastern Iran.
What's even more disturbing about this article is that it appears that this policy of terrorism on innocent civilians has been carried on for some time now by our (US) government, as well as by the Israeli government.
Below is Google Gemini's definition of "state terrorism":
State terrorism is the systematic use of violence, intimidation, and terror tactics by a government against its own population or foreign citizens to achieve political objectives, maintain power, or suppress dissent. It involves state agents performing acts like extrajudicial killings, torture, and forced disappearances.

Key aspects of state terrorism include:
Direct Perpetration: Unlike state-sponsored terrorism (where states support non-state actors), state terrorism is carried out directly by government agents.
If this Al Jazeera story is true, it appears that we Americans are citizens of an official terrorist state. If that is true, what the moral implications for us American citizens?
The definition of terrorism stated above leads to another disturbing implication: The policy of state terrorism stated above bears a strong resemblance to what ICE was trying to get away with in Minneapolis last month. This implication is further strengthened by Kristi Noem's insistence on labeling Renee Good and Alex Pretti as "domestic terrorists". This resembles the well known tactic of blaming the victim for the crime committed against them.
