Pahalgam Terror Attack: Why Western media loves to call terrorists 'gunmen'

IndiaTimes Friday, 25 April 2025 ()
When 26 Hindu tourists were methodically executed in Kashmir’s Pahalgam valley — identified by name, religion, and in some cases, their inability to recite Islamic prayers — the global media did what it does best: looked away, chose its words carefully, and reached for the comforting vocabulary of denial. Not terrorism. Not jihad. Just “gunmen,” “militants,” and the ever-useful “tensions.” Because in the moral economy of modern newsrooms, the value of a life — and the weight of a headline — depends on who the victims are, and who the killers pray to.

China DEFIES Trump: U.S. Tariffs Must END For Any Deal | Trump Launches Fiery Attack, Vows REVENGE

China is ramping up its trade war rhetoric with the U.S., urging President Trump to remove sweeping tariffs if the dispute is to be resolved. The Chinese Commerce Ministry emphasizes the need for "extreme scenario thinking" to manage trade risks as tensions rise. Despite claims of active talks from the Trump administration, China denies any negotiations are ongoing. Meanwhile, retaliatory measures continue, including China's refusal to send Boeing planes back and imposing a 125% tariff on U.S. products. The standoff shows no signs of easing as both sides dig in. #China #Trump #TradeWar #Tariffs #USChinaRelations #EconomicTensions #Boeing #TradeRisks #GlobalTrade #EconomicPolicy #USPolitics #ChinaTariffs #USTradeDeficit #TradeStandoff #ChinaResponse #TrumpTweets #EconomicCrisis #TradeEscalation #WashingtonDC #ForeignPolicy #ChinaCommerceMinistry #USChinaTradeWar #TariffDispute #TradeNegotiations #Beijing #InternationalRelations #ChinaRetaliation #BoeingPlanes #ChinaCommerce #TradeRelations #DiplomaticTensions Also Read US President Donald Trump, Russia's Vladimir Putin Condemned Pahalgam Terrorist Attack, Call It A Brutal Crime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-russias-vladimir-putin-condemned-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-call-it-a-br-4131695.html?ref=DMDesc China Tests Non-Nuclear Hydrogen Bomb Capable of Producing 1,000°C Fireball :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-tests-non-nuclear-hydrogen-bomb-capable-of-producing-1-000-c-fireball-4130973.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~GR.121~

India-Pakistan BIG Standoff: Can Pakistan Attack India Begin War Over Indus Water Rights | Explained

On April 23, 2025, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty following a deadly terror attack in Kashmir, blaming Pakistan for cross-border terrorism. The move ends decades of controlled water sharing that was critical for Pakistan’s agriculture and survival. With 80% of Pakistan’s water supply at stake, leaders are calling this an “act of war.” As nationalist voices in Pakistan push for a military response, fears rise of a full-scale conflict between two nuclear-armed neighbors.

Hindu Terror Victims: Pahalgam Massacre and the Global Silence on Hindu Persecution [Video]

Hindu Terror Victims: Pahalgam Massacre and the Global Silence on Hindu Persecution

The bloodbath in Pahalgam is not an isolated tragedy—it is the latest chapter in a long history of violence against Hindu terror victims. Twenty-six innocent lives, mostly tourists, were killed not for profit or politics—but simply for being Hindu and Indian. The Hindu terror victims of Pahalgam now join the forgotten exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from 1990, the persecuted minorities in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and the silenced families across South Asia. Under Prime Minister Modi, India is no longer passive—abrogation of Article 370, Balakot strikes, and upcoming decisive actions mark a new era. This episode examines how India is preparing to respond, why the world looks away, and what it means for the future of Hindu terror victims worldwide. The time for silence is over. #HinduTerrorVictims#PahalgamMassacre #ModiAgainstTerror #NeverForget1990 #JusticeForHindus ~GR.122~PR.282~HT.318~

India Pakistan Tensions: Pahalgam Attack Sparks Fierce Response from Modi Government

In this gripping episode, Oneindia uncovers the rising India-Pakistan tensions following the brutal Pahalgam terror attack. A peaceful Kashmiri town turned into a graveyard when Hindu tourists were selectively targeted and executed by Pakistan-backed terrorists. The Modi government’s reaction is swift, strategic, and unforgiving. With diplomatic ties being scaled down, visa services suspended, and military readiness at its peak, India Pakistan tensions have reached a boiling point. Prime Minister Modi has sent a clear warning: those behind terror will face consequences beyond imagination. As India tests the INS Surat’s missile capabilities and tightens its military grip, the world watches how these India Pakistan tensions could reshape South Asian geopolitics forever.
