I often wonder why it's a terrorist attack when bombs go off in Israel, but when Israel bombs Gaza or the West Bank it's called retaliation.
Hypocrisy at its finest.

The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Isn’t this just war? Would be like Russia claiming Ukraines recent attacks into Russia are terrorist attacks….
A bomb on a military target is terrorism if it is an Arab or they are opposed to Israel in any way.
Meanwhile when Israel bombs UN medical workers helping civilians in a place where no combatants are, they are legitimate war targets and not even oopsie...
If it had been a strategic target like a military convoy or supply depot, etc, I would agree with you. In this case, it looks like they were targeting a synagogue.
Then by that logic almost everything Israel has done in Gaza is a terrorist attack.
I mean, yeah
Yes, I agree with that.
Yes
Yes, exactly. The IDF intentionally attacks civilians in Palestine by shelling houses, for the purpose of demoralizing the population into surrendering to extermination. Sounds like terrorism to me!
Nailed it in one
Israel has been killing hundreds of Palestinians civilians in refugee centers, schools and hospitals for months on the claim that a military target was inside.
Was there any Israel military personnel in that synagogue? By Israels doctrine, any number of civilian infrastructure and casualties are justified to kill any military target.
Israel has been killing hundreds of Palestinians civilians in refugee centers, schools and hospitals
Just to note that actually, it's tens of thousands by now. Even during October Israel had already killed many thousands of Palestinian civilians.
Sure, but the Israeli government and IDF are fucking monsters. I'm not going to give a pass to one side killing civilians just because the other side is doing it, too.
Pretty sure they are claiming that in fact hahaha
That depends if there were any valid military targets near the synagogue. If there wasn’t, it isn’t a valid strike target in the same way Israel’s hospital strikes are invalid.
Doesn't sound like terrorism to me.
Terror is what's happening in Gaza by Israel.
Both.
