There's a clear difference between war crimes and terrorism.

And what is the difference, pray tell?

From your own source:

There are various different definitions of terrorism, with no universal agreement about it.

So what are you differentiating here?

Let me make it easier for you... show me a war crime that doesn't involve terrorism?

That's exactly the point. Calling everything terrorism is disingenuous because these days basically everybody calls things they don't like terrorism. Like the Saudis consider atheism to be terrorism. Better to call it by the term that's more clearly defined.

Like the Saudis consider atheism to be terrorism.

Liberals claim that the west is "democratic." Tankies insist the USSR was "socialist." Both are lying through their teeth.

Should we just abandon concepts because power has warped the living crap out of it for it's own purposes? We might just abandon politics and surrender to power altogether, then.

Better to call it by the term that’s more clearly defined.

Clearly defined by whom? The exact kind of power structures that perpetrates both?
