    It seems to fit to you because your initial operating assumption is that you should support the terrorists here and everything else you believe is distorted to meet those expectations.

    For instance, Israel told the civilians to move to the city of 120k people that is called a refugee camp, but is in fact a full on 80 year old city, and fourteen people died in an airstrike on a Hamas position.

    But you didn't Google the city "camp" or look past the claims at all, because your initial assumption is "Israel bad, Hamas good."

    You are indeed defending terrorists who kill families of civilians with no overarching military goal in mind at all.

      no one says hamas is good. but they don't need to be in order for israel to be bad.

      You know nothing about me, and fuck you for making an accusation like that. Shameful.

        I know what you state, and that's what you stated.

        If that offends you, take a long look in the mirror and sort your life out

        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.

                    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.
