insurgency works. ask Vietnam, Afghanistan, or even the USA. all resisted imperial power through asymmetric warfare. terrorists most definitely get statehood.
people are responsible for their own emotions. the only reasonable definition of terrorism is activity that the existing political status quo does not approve. that’s it. it doesn’t need to attack someone. it doesn’t need to be violent. the Boston tea party was terrorism as surely as the assassination of the arch duke.
What I have found weird is so many countries are supporting a people that would murder them and attacking a people that treat people well who don’t try to murder them.
If Israel stops fighting, they’ll all be killed. If Hamas stopped fighting, the blockade would be lifted, they could get a country, etc.
yet, Hamas won’t stop. They are using their people as tokens since they know many people hate Jews more than logic.
Finally someone with a brain in their head.
Hamas is wildly popular within its territory.
Terrorists don’t get to have a state.
Ergo, Gaza is not a state.

No. Terrorism is when you destabilise the feeling of safety somewhere by attacking civilians

But it’s not the definition. It’s when you destabilise using fear of death and attack violently civilians to create that fear
Only in usa you make terrorism mean “enemy”

This take is so incredibly ignorant of history and reality I can’t even…
It’s not. You just don’t know the history.
Who is stopping the ceasefire now? Hamas.
