9,300 olive trees destroyed by Israel in the West Bank in one year, says ICRC

What definition of terrorism do you use? Does Israel commit terrorism when it "murders civilians"?

This is my understanding: "Terrorism is, in its broadest sense, the unlawful use of intentional violence to achieve political aims"

For example, the Weather Underground was a radical left wing militant organization in the 1970s that "conducted a bombing campaign targeting government buildings and several banks." Three of its own members were killed, but not others.

Your definition of terrorism would not label these as terrorists, but it would label the Israeli state and the IDF as terrorists, and Israelis as terrorist enablers. I am arguing that it is an incorrect definition and that the Israeli state is not necessarily by definition engaged in terrorism.

You are using a word that you do not understand, yet you use it so often.
