    There’s a difference between terrorism and war, even if it’s equally despicable. For example, the Nazis were too big to be called terrorists.

      Whom does the IDF wage war against? Their own population. That’s terrorism.

      To whatever extent that terrorism and war are separate, it’s only a way for those in power to tell uninformed people which violence to support or who to hate. “We’re going to war to bring freedom” vs “Those terrorists are attacking the [colonial] government!”
