Yeah. The second one is genocide and (often conveniently undeclared) war.

School shootings and ICE kidnapping innocent civilians are terrorism, though.

The funny thing is that Israel was behind both of them.

Let’s not pretend that the US is magically incapable of independently being vile, lol.

Israel as a nation state did not exist until 1948. We were committing atrocities well before that.

school shootings generally aren’t about achieving political or other goals

they’re mass murder; not terrorism

AFAIK the goal is often some sense of revenge.

And terrorism require political goals beyond the killing itself
