More importantly how do you define terrorism.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I will go with "random attacks on civilians intended to instill fear in a populace". Now you go

Then neither Hamas nor Hezbollah are terrorists by your definition.

Are you the same guy who sent me a link and called me an idiot for not reading it even though it supported my point?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Couldn't tell you but you could certainly just look instead of trying in vein to misdirect.

It's just that I have no idea what you are talking about, you have been wrong several times, and refuse to clarify what you mean about anything. Basically this is a dead end conversation.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oop there you go again, it's not terrorism by your definition so you abandon your definition. Neat.

I have no idea what you are talking about and I stand by my definition of terrorism.

Edit: also just noticed that you've been taking the time to down vote all of my comments. Lol.

Then neither country is taking terrorist act.

Boo hoo? What's your point aside from crying about you and m that had no bearing on how wrong you are

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hezbollah is a terrorist group. I never said anything about Lebanon committing terrorism, only that they harbor the Hezbollah terrorists.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

By your definition neither Hezbollah nor Hamas are terrorist organizations.

I've said this iirc twice and you seemingly haven't figured out why though it is glaringly obvious.

October 7 was done by terrorists.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not by your definition

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait, are you saying that the people attacked and killed on October 7 were combatants, and not innocent civilians? That's your argument?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I didn't say that at all, read your description. The reason it isn't terrorism by your definition (by literally side) is the same for all sides.

Think about it.
