      The difference between a terrorist and a rebel is their targets. This kid attacked innocent civilians to scare them away from voting. That’s terrorism. Violence in resistance to oppression should be directed at the oppressors.

      You might need a dictionary there. This is exactly what terrorism is. It’s not just driving planes in towers.

      This is like people who don’t consider white people immigrants, they’re “expats”. If your contry is invaded and you fight back, you might be called a terrorist but you won’t be one, unless of course you terrorise the population and use fear instead of attacking military targets.

      This isn’t a debate of falsely labeling something as terrorism for disinformation. It doesn’t matter who is right in terrorism.
