I guess one should define a terrorist. I do not think that one who is protecting their land or home a terrorist, but I consider the terrorist the one who is trying to take it.
So you have just described the Palestinians and their philosophy. They are trying to take the land of Israel as their own through force, and the Israelis are defending the land from the attacks.
But would you agree anyone that deliberately and without a thought sets out to mass murder children in schools by planting high explosives under the schools to be callous, barbaric blood thirsty terrorist scum that deserve to die a horrible death.
Look at a map. I read the paper daily and read daily how Israel is taking bulldozers out at night and bulldozing homes, Palestinian homes. So who are the terrorists. Don't lay this on Hamas, the blame is on Israel and their people who allow this.
Nightly and daily the IDF big shots who can't fight a decent war, man to man, go out and shoot kids. Talk about scum.
