2022-02-25 14:18:59 He was oddly reluctant to answer your question about exactly which Palestinian terrorist group they had ties to. PFLP seems a likely candidate. Overall sounded like he's taken a bit of a revisionist stance on Action Directe; understanding their definition of civilians &amp; 'combatants' is useful for studying them, accepting it as he's done is not.

I disagree man I don’t think he’s being revisionist at all, he’s just not giving it the usual “these are bad people!” shit. Make up your own mind.

Maybe revisionist is a bit strong, but he's clearly adopted their definition of a civilian, you even call him out a bit on that in the interview. That's not really any different than a scholar studying jihadi groups adopting the premise that a kuffar is not a civilian.

Hi, sorry if I sounded reluctant answering the question on the Palestinian groups, it's simply that I didn't get much details about this topic yet and that I didn't know the english acronyms. As far as I know, they indeed had links to the PFLP as well as the "Lebanese Armed Revolutionary Factions". About adopting their definition of civilians and combatants, if I wasn't clear enough, what I meant is that targeting Georges Besse, the CEO of one of France's largest company at the time, even though he was indeed a civilian, is not the same as targeting a random civilian in the streets.

Thank you for the clarification! I would argue that despite the specificity of their target in the case of the assassination of Besse they still fit the criteria for a terrorist group, as the strongest defining characteristics are the political cause and violence by a non-state actor towards civilians. Either way, cool to hear from someone looking into the history of these guys, they do tend to get overlooked.
