Terrorism is a tactic, sometimes euphemistically called "shock and awe". "Terrorist" is a label for demonizing the other side, in order to shut down all dialogue and to surrender to the logic of hate and revenge.
The state of Israel has regurarly engaged in terror tactics and so have it's enemies. However, I refuse to label Israel a "terrorist state", because they need to be negotiated with over how to stop terror and find just peace, not demonized and exterminated. And same for the enemies of Israel.
Blame games over who is a terrorist and who is even more terrorist are not helpfull, they mean surrendering to the right wing framing of the situation, surrendering to the illogic of The War Against Terror (TWAT), by more suitable name War of Error (WOE).
