seems to me israelis are using terror to achieve their goals. death threats supported by the idf seem pretty terrifying to me.

Artillery fire is also terrifying and is not terrorism

are you sure? the israelis call the palestinian rockets terrorism.

That is literal terrorism by literal terrorist groups, yes.

according to whom? seems to me they are fighting a terrorist state.

How can people actively defend terrorists like Hamas and Hezbollah? Absolutely crazy.

how am i defending them? what money have i send them. how much money have you sent israel?

Their openly, officially stated goal, of the destruction of Israel. It was in their constitution until recently. They specifically launch rockets into civilian area to kill as many civilians as possible.

Saying "who says they are terrorists?" when their own statements say so... Yeah.

cool israel elected official, members of the israeli parliament called for the "glassing of gaza". idf drops bombs everywhere in gaza, something like a glassing of some sort. so they are fighting a terrorist state. this is a fact. are you going to call terrorists those who take arms against a terrorist state? how does that work?

Your personal beliefs can be anything. But according to how these terms are actually used in the real world (and not "kinda similar online pedantry") it is not the same at all.

lol. just because a large number of people believes something doesn't make it true.

that is the beauty of truth, it endures in solitude until the lies have no more souls to eat. in the end it will shine bright and cast the light on fact that israel is a terrorist state. so you are like the slavery supporters.

Why were Israel sponsoring Hamas, a terrorist group, to displace the moderate PLO-aligned orgs then?

Irredeemable stupidity?

Antisemitism?

Manufacturing a pretext for the genocide they're now committing, perhaps?

We've established elsewhere that Israel meets the UN definition of terrorism.

Irredeemable stupidity?

As always, when something truly terrible happens, it's this.

While genocide does require intense stupidity, decades-long escalation toward genocide when you're dependent on US support requires a pretext before you can escalate. There's elements of all of the above - busy mostly the pretext.
