unfortunately, some people will always try to justify terrorism. on both sides. Hell, even I as an American can look back at history, and look at our war of independence, and i will justify any of the tactics my forefathers used to liberate our land from the British imperialists. Just like many will also justify attemptes at irish independence. and if some Scots are unhappy about the result after the referendum, i couldn't blame some Scots for taking up arms if they are not allow3d independence.

It's very complicated. Who are terrorists and who are freedom fighters? I think if you purposefully target civilians you are a terrorists though. and i don't think Israel is targeting civilians. Hamas definitely targets civilians.

Hamas has sent suicide bombers into shopping centers just because they could kill more civilian people, people they knew had nothing to do with the government or military of Israel. Israel has never targeted an area just because it creates more civilian victims. Israel always targets an area to target military and political leaders specifically. so i think there is a difference.
