“Wars are not fought for territory, but for words. Man's deadliest weapon is language. He is as susceptible to being hypnotized by slogans as he is to infectious diseases. And where there is an epidemic, the group-mind takes over.” MenMindWarLanguageGroupsDiseaseWeaponsTerritorySlogansEpidemicsSusceptibleInfectious Diseases Author:Arthur Koestler
“Women as a class have never subjugated another group; we have never marched off to wars of conquest in the name of the fatherland. We have never been involved in a decision to annex the territory of a neighboring country, or to fight for foreign markets on distant shores. These are the games men play, not us. We want to be neither oppressors nor oppressed. The women's revolution is the final revolution of them all.” MenWantWarCountryPlayFightingGamesNamesDecisionClassGroupsRevolutionInvolvedFinalsShoreTerritoryOppressedConquestOppressorsFatherland Author:Susan Brownmiller

“Gaza is such a tremendous humanitarian problem, it's way beyond Israel's capability to do anything significant about. It's a world problem, but the world doesn't want to do anything about it. That the world has packed them like sardines in a tiny piece of territory run by a fanatic Islamic group, run by a fanatic group like Hamas. Unless the world decides it wants to tackle this problem, that they want to deal with refugees there, prepare to absorb some of the refugees.” WorldWayWantProblemRunningDealsPiecesGroupsIsraelHumanitarianTinySignificantIslamicTerritoryCapabilityRefugeeFanaticsGazaHamasWorld ProblemsSardines Author:Moshe Arens
“It is not possible to starve an organised terrorist group because it is number one a state, so it levies taxation inside the territory that is controlled by Islamic State. But also the activity, for example the smuggling of oil, is taking place in an area which is a war zone. So of course people will buy that oil because they don't have any alternative. So even if we wanted to stop that kind of trade, it will be very, very difficult to do that.” PeopleIfsKindWarStatesWantedCoursesDifficultNumbersGroupsExampleActivityAreasTradeOilTerroristAlternativesIslamicZoneControlledTerritoryTaxationOrganisedIslamic StateWar ZonesSmugglingTerrorist Groups Author:Loretta Napoleoni
“One of the lessons we've learned from the last 25 years of terrorism is that groups that have safe havens are able to develop external attack capabilities in a way that groups that don't have safe havens are not. So we need to find a way to squeeze them significantly in their safe haven. Taking away territory that really matters to them is really, really important because it prevents them from focusing on external attacks.” WayNeedsYearsImportantMatterAbleLastsGroupsHavensLessonsSafeTerrorismTerritoryCapabilitySafe Haven Author:Michael Morell
“Remove justice, and what are kingdoms but gangs of criminals on a large scale?... A gang is a group of men... in which the plunder is divided according to an agreed convention.

“Satan delegates high-ranking members of the hierarchy of evil spirits to control nations, regions, cities, tribes, people groups, neighborhoods and other significant social networks of human beings throughout the world.

“ISIS is a radical jihadist group that is increasingly sophisticated in its ability, for example, to radicalize American citizens, in its inability to exploit loopholes in our legal immigration system, in its ability to capture and hold territory in the Middle East, as I outlined earlier, in multiple countries.” CountryAbilityGroupsMiddleExampleCitizensEastImmigrationRadicalTerritoryCaptureMiddle EastMultipleSophisticatedInabilityExploitsAmerican CitizensLoopholesLegal Immigration Author:Marco Rubio
