    Dude, that is a long response when you could have just said you don’t mind the genocide of the Jews. That is what Hamas wants and the Palestinian people voted them in power. Since their goal is genocide, you seem ok with that and I’m not. As such I don’t see having a respectful conversation with someone who supports genocide against the Jews.

      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.

        Terrorists don’t get to have a state.

        insurgency works. ask Vietnam, Afghanistan, or even the USA. all resisted imperial power through asymmetric warfare. terrorists most definitely get statehood.

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

                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.

                  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”

                    i think you’re going to have to come to grips with the fact that you are not the arbiter of the meaning of terrorism, and its useful meaning has nothing to do with emotions.
