Resumo

In principle, the use of violence and terror to achieve political objectives proposes a dilemma: on one hand, it may be an efficient means to an end, but on the other it is a direct attack on the moral codes of most societies. For this latter reason, the groups which chose to use violence need to construct a discourse which legitimises their actions, making it possible for them to obtain support from some sections of society. The following elements are used in constructing this discourse: the existence of a conflict which is of great relevance to the group, blaming their adversaries for the existing state of violence, delegitimising victims, and victimising the aggressor group.
