Terrorism is indeed when you kill civilians with no military aim in mind. Invading a country specifically to murder their families in their homes is absolutely terrorism.

by this definition every colonizer is a terrorist, which means that the israelis are terrorists. maybe we just shouldn’t use the term, and instead condemn bad actions and bad actors on the merits of the actions without the political label.

Maybe you shouldn’t use the term “colonizer” since that’s a dumb fuck term.
colonization happens, and it’s perpetrated by colonizers.
why should the military aim matter? THAT’S PURELY POLITICAL. terrorism just means you don’t LIKE the politics of the person doing the killing.
Terrorism is explicitly killing done without military targets in mind. It’s explicitly political, and targeted at civilians, to instill terror.
I’m sorry you don’t like the definition of the word, but it is the definition of the word.
like police shooting black men
No that’s just good old fashioned racism combined with stupidly poor recruiting and training practices.
make any excuse you want: it fits the definition you gave
it’s loaded language. i know what the definition is, but using it only means you don’t like the politics of the killers.
No it means they’re doing things that fit the definition.
being loaded language, using it actually means what I said.
