As the truth about Gaza emerges pointing out the horrors bestowed by Israel upon those "animals" the Palestinians, I note the supporters of Israel have gone quiet.
You have to ask what made those Palestinian boys attack with such brutality in October. Crawling from the wreckage of Gaza now are yet another generation of orphans with little hope and few prospects of a decent life, angry at "jews" for what they have done to their homes, schools, hospitals, and the lives of their families. How would YOU repspond?
There are good reasons why there is so much antagonism more generally between the US and Islam..
As usual your views are too narrow, shallow, dogmatic and bankrupt.
First you did not define the term 'terrorism' and 'terrorist'.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism
From my objectivist and moral realists point of view, any killing of humans by humans is evil and immoral.
Every act of human killing humans must be condemned and prevented as far as possible.
But we need to take into consideration there are degrees of evilness and immorality and give different emphasis in respective of their degrees of evilness and immorality in the existing circumstances and constraints.
In the OP contexts you compare the Israel killing of Hamas terrorists and Gaza civilians by the IDF directly with Hamas terrorists act of Oct 7.
The Israel war in Gaze is constraint by the Constitution of Israel, so was the 'invasion' by Clinton, Bush, and Obama which were constraint by the US Constitution. This is evil and immoral, but their attack is not within the ambit of the term 'terrorism' because civilians killed were not done deliberately and intentionally.
The attack by terrorists in Oct 7 was a free for all without any self-constraints and deliberately target civilians, the age, and
even babies, and given the opportunity they would have killed whoever [as evident Jews and non-Jews] is in Israel as sanction within their charter.
IF Israel exists with the same unrestraint conditions as Hamas, they could have easily kill ALL or the majority of Palestinians in the Gaza strip, but they don't. Instead they took steps [as evident] to avoid killing civilians.
It is the same with Clinton, Bush, and Obama; they could have killed as many Muslims as possible in those Muslims countries they went in for some legalized purpose within their constitution.
However, it would not the same for organized Muslims, they will kill the maximum of non-Muslims because that is
sanction by their God; if they don't do it they may not get to go to paradise with eternal life for being non-compliant in the given situation.
Any killing of humans by humans must be condemned and prevented.
Your OP views are too narrow, shallow, dogmatic and bankrupt because you did not take into account the nuances within the degrees of what is immorality and evilness.
