It can be terrorism and also not a reason to go start some 20 year war and kill a bunch of innocent people
in circumstances like this, the word "terrorism" is used as a thought-terminating cliche, to depict the enemy as an unreasoning malevolent force with no external motivations, to simplify a complex situation and cultivate vague blanket support for any response against the enemy, no matter how destructive, misguided, or counterproductive.
Maybe, I also think people too often just talk about how complex and nuanced the situation is as a reason that they don’t want to make firmer statements denouncing the actions that have taken place and the ideologies that have inspired those actions.
I hope we can acknowledge both things.
What would you do if you're put in Palestine situation?
