The article focuses on the history of the Israeli discourse on "terrorism," and the central role Benjamin Netanyahu played in shaping it in the 1980s.
It answers a simple question: according to Israel, who was (and was not) a "terrorist" in the 1980s?
It then concludes about the deeply ideological nature of the discourse, and makes a rapid reference to the conflict in Gaza.
