- Nothing coming from the heavens (hellfire), and controlled from far-away places, though spectacular, killing scores of innocents and terrorizing them, can ever be "terrorism". It's also not "extra-legal" in case the non-terrorist entity writes the laws allowing for non-terrorist terrorizing of innocents.
It depends on the context and yes those things can be considered as state terrorism imo.
In an ongoing conflict the attacks you describe can be deemed as crimes, war crimes. The mass bombing can be classed as indiiscriminate attack and thus a war crime. States shouldn't get away with the charge of terrorism just because they are states
- Whatever comes from the dirt (IEDs) is by definition both "devilish" and "evil", and thus "terrorism", even if the targets are criminal invaders and occupiers. No, the common rules, allowing for extended self-defense by those helping the criminally invaded, won't help you there.
.
Nope, the acts you describe in the context you describe them are definitely NOT terrorism and are in fact legitimate acts of resistance against occupying forces.
You have fallen into the trap, or are happy to occupy the space voluntarily , of what I said earlier............ it's only terrorism when they do it. That is clear in how you have it the wrong way around in the above " clarification "
If I may be so bold, may I suggest you re-read my posting with your irony and sarcasm detectors on?
