I am simply using his own medicine on him. I do not believe the term "terrorist" has any legitimate value. It's a term created by the state to differentiate state controlled violence versus non-state. It's a political tool that is flimsy.

But if we really want to use the term terrorist. I would absolutely argue that Israel is a terrorist state. They kill more civilians than any of the other "terrorists" in their region.

terrorism—the use of violence, especially against innocent civilians, to advance political, ideological, or religious goals

Self defense is not ideological political or religious goal

The Palestinians are defending themselves against land-stealing religious zealots? I'd say that's just cause. Google the Nakba. Oh right you're an Israeli Zionist and you have no nuance or critical thinking skills. I sure am glad my taxpayer dollars goes straight to your racist country.

I remember leaving gaza 19 years ago, they had no reason to attack and all the reasons to lay down their weapons

"Civilian deaths" is loose terminology? what does a fake news story have to do with generally agreed upon death counts?

In Syria yes, what are the causes of the deaths in Syria?
Are we counting dead ISIS militants as civilians again?

Your state controls everything that goes in and out. They are completely at the mercy of your army and government. They are in a glorified concentration camp. And you NEVER gave them the right to return. TO THEIR HOMES.
