    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.

      like police shooting black men

        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.

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

      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.

              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

                  again: terrorist isn’t a meaningful epithet.

                  but you do seem obsessed with my feelings

                    No I don’t even know who you are. I’ve never read your screen name. You could be the initial person I responded to or just some other idiot terrorist sympathizer.
