    Was Native American raids on “Settlements” terrorism? Was Nat Turner’s rebellion terrorism?

    Hamas is evil and the acts they have done are evil. But they weren’t created in a vacuum. Peace and a one or two state solution needs to be agreed apone by all with a right to self determination for the cycle of evil to stop.

      Do you like this group of people? If yes, freedom fighters; if not, terrorists

      Do you like this state? If yes, government; if not, regime.

      Native American militias didn’t brutalise Native Americans, much unlike Hamas does to Palestinians.

        This is simply not true. Plenty of natives fought against other natives, whether independently, or with US troops, or for bounties.

          Those were generally clashes between different tribes. Hamas is doing internal political oppression, brutalising political opponents etc.
