There was a while where it obviously met and exceeded the definition in the UN Genocide Convention, but a lot of people refused to acknowledge it might be a genocide because the UN had not yet declared it to be one. The UN is notoriously slow at that kind of thing, though, especially when a powerful country wants them to be slow.
For a long time the claim was that it's only terrorism when non-state actors do it. If a state does it, it's not terrorism by definition.
Then the loyal dogs in the EU declared in January that an official branch of Iran's own military is a terrorist organization, so I guess the old definition is defunct. It basically just means "outlaw" or "designated bad guy" rather than having a real definition.
The etymology of the word starts with describing state actions. The French government invented terrorism as a policy; Indiscriminate, politically motivated violence.
America. America is a nation of terrorists who points the finger at other nations and wants to police everyone, while they continue to wreck the world.
Genocide
Genocide. Also ironically many countries are calling the people taking a stand against their massacre "terrorists".
In lib logic:
Terrorism is when non-UN recognised states do it
Otherwise it’s “war”.
Fuck States. Fuck Israel.
Doesn't even the un define this as genocide? I thought it was not controversial anymore calling it that...

Wait, what do you mean by “there was a while”? The goals of the blue people is still to genocide, isn’t it?
Yes now they do. But not terrorism.

"🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 FREEDOM!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸"
The first is a single attack that is better defined as "blowback".
The second is what occurs by the Imperialist and Imperialist aligned powers that cause the blowback in the first place.
Bush didn't "do 9/11". Decades of American Imperialism "did" 9/11. It was the inevitable result of its crimes.
“Self defense”

As far as I can tell 'When brown people fight back' is a fairly consistent definition for terrorism as its applied by the US.

The Khans don’t qualify?

This is exactly what racist white people want.
"Nuke 'em from orbit" isn't an uncommon phrase.
I'm out of the loop, what does the second image show?
I thought its a picture from Afghanistan or something, but judging the other comments, it seems to be Gaza?

war?
A very-very one-sided war. You could even call it a genocide.
