There's a reason I've been calling fundamentalist Christians in the US, "The Christian Taliban"

Y-all kay duh?

A lot of parallels between netanyahu and trump, both barely have majority voting support and are starting false wars to delay domestic investigations.

Millions of Israeli Jews feel the same as you and have been voting against netanyahu.

I'm on the side of unarmed civilians with pro-social impulses.

The funny thing is that Israel was behind both of them.

school shootings generally aren’t about achieving political or other goals

they’re mass murder; not terrorism

Don’t forget the illegal settlers, I saw a video of an interaction where a settler literally calls the military group asking for support.

The USA has carpet bombed entire nations, more than one, into the dust.

They weren't all enemy combatants, either.

Israel thinks they are in the right, just as the USA believed it was right (and Germany, Japan, UK, Russia, et al).

I don't think they want a two-state solution, and I think the Palestinians agree, they also don't want a two-state solution. Their long-term goals are to destroy the other (from the river to the sea).

Do all Palestinians and Jews agree? Of course not. But, the violent fundamentalists of both do agree.

History has proven that you can totally destroy Jerusalem, and fundamentalist Islam, Jews, and Christians will be more than happy to fight over the Holy Rubble.

How do you resolve this? The territory has been owned by Jews, Muslims, Christians; Babylon, Ottoman Empire, United Kingdom, Rome, Greeks, and more.

That is the legal definition. Laws written and agreed upon by representatives of states. One has to consider that it is defined that way out of self-interest. Charges of terrorism are levied against the enemies of states, which are denied the recognition and privileges of statehood, while charges of war crimes exist only to legitimize states and are levied against the losers of imperialist wars by the victors.

“Technically” there is no internationally accepted definition of terrorism.

It’s basically the first thing everyone learns when they study the subject.

As others already pointed out, there isn't really a unified agreed upon definition of terrorism, but the vast majority those definitions overlap, with small differences between them here and there.

The probably most important part of those definitions is that the implementation of terror against your opponents has political motivations. War crimes in general on the other hand mostly don't follow this same philosophy. The only modern day example that theoretically checks both boxes at once is stuff like the Russian terror bombing of civilians (the war crime part), thinking they'll eventually bomb them into total submission and Russia will achieve their political goals (the terrorism part).

And we get the opposite.

Genocide is also terrorism.

Israel is committing act of genocide which is violent in the goal of extermination palestinians under the belief of the religious, policitical and ideological zionist mouvement

If you can figure out

Do you mean, "if you can't" ?

Gaza is both

Afghanistan. The CIA created instability within the country arming fundamentalists that caused a nasty civil war. The point was to bait the Soviets into a quagmire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Afghan_War

Afghanistan, Palestine, US bases in Arab lands and cruel and crippling sanctions against Iraq:

https://www.newsweek.com/osama-bin-laden-911-letter-transcript-12427271

"The American people are the ones who pay the taxes which fund the planes that bomb us in Afghanistan, the tanks that strike and destroy our homes in Palestine, the armies which occupy our lands in the Arabian Gulf, and the fleets which ensure the blockade of Iraq," bin Laden wrote. "This is why the American people cannot be innocent of all the crimes committed by the Americans and Jews against us."

If you strip out the religious speech from the declaration their reasons for doing this are pretty "rational". The religion is mostly the ideological bond between different peoples. Besides some very problematic religious repression.

If the Americans refuse to listen to our advice ... then their fate will be that of the Soviets who fled from Afghanistan to deal with their military defeat, political breakup, ideological downfall, and economic bankruptcy.

The larger strategy was pretty clear, draw the US into unsustainable wars that shorten their "unipolar moment" of being the only global superpower.

At the time, they made a big hullabaloo about the U.S. stationing troops in Saudi Arabia, the country of the holiest sites, during and after desert shield/storm.

I honestly don’t know what is a sincerely held belief and what is pretextual.

Settler colonialism is genocidal by nature, guesssseug and what the Israeli liberal did genocidal acts

That's right. The Soviets for example, are very well known today for spearheading the revolution against that evil far-left Russian Empire thing and we're extremely lucky they ultimately won. Who knows what could've happened to all those small non-Russian minorities in furure decades, if Lenins' movement didn't step in!

(do we do the /s thing here too? lol)

And NO, I'm not a conservative, before someone starts screeching. I'm a centrist trying to appreciate the good parts from both of the extremes, while spitting on the bad. That is my ideology. So here I'm just trying to bring back a bit of that grey almost everyone apparently has completely forgotten existed, making the mainstream discourse almost exclusively black and white.

It's Gaza.

If you don't think destroying all the hospitals, water infrastructure, schools, and nearly every building in what is effectively a concentration camp is terrorism... You had better be calling it a genocide

I think it's Gaza.

It's Gaza, but it could have just as easily been Assad's Syria.

How come Hamas is not in your list?

It makes perfect sense.

Palestinian terrorists initially claimed responsibilty for the attack. Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank were celebrating the 9/11 attack en masse.

It is a perfect argument to use the 9/11 memory to defend the Palestinian cause.
