What is terrorism and can it ever be defended? Beginning with its
definition, proceeding to its possible justifications, and
culminating in proposals for contending with and combating it, this
book offers a full theoretical analysis of the issue of terrorism.
Tamar Meisels argues that, regardless of its professed cause,
terrorism is diametrically opposed to the requirements of liberal
morality and can only be defended at the expense of relinquishing
the most basic of liberal commitments. Meisels opposes those who
express sympathy and justification for Islamist (particularly
Palestinian) terrorism and terrorism allegedly carried out on
behalf of developing nations, but, at the same time, also opposes
those who would tolerate any reduction in civil liberties in
exchange for greater security. Calling wholeheartedly for a
unanimous liberal front against terrorism, this is a strong and
provocative attempt to address the tension between liberty and
security in a time of terror.
