      Terrorism is indeed when you kill civilians with no military aim in mind. Invading a country specifically to murder their families in their homes is absolutely terrorism.

        by this definition every colonizer is a terrorist, which means that the israelis are terrorists. maybe we just shouldn’t use the term, and instead condemn bad actions and bad actors on the merits of the actions without the political label.

          Maybe you shouldn’t use the term “colonizer” since that’s a dumb fuck term.

            colonization happens, and it’s perpetrated by colonizers.

        why should the military aim matter? THAT’S PURELY POLITICAL. terrorism just means you don’t LIKE the politics of the person doing the killing.

          Terrorism is explicitly killing done without military targets in mind. It’s explicitly political, and targeted at civilians, to instill terror.

          I’m sorry you don’t like the definition of the word, but it is the definition of the word.

              No that’s just good old fashioned racism combined with stupidly poor recruiting and training practices.

                  It really doesn’t, but you’ll never care about reason anyway. You’re just another edgelord.

            it’s loaded language. i know what the definition is, but using it only means you don’t like the politics of the killers.

                being loaded language, using it actually means what I said.

                  Every member of Hamas is likely going to die like the terrorist scum they are, and the world will be a markedly better place for it

                  Nothing you say will change that fact.

                    the phrasing makes me think you think this hurdtmy feelings. in truth it just shows your too small minded to understand why terrorist use a meaningless label
