What's that second image? This being a meme I suppose it is either Palestine or Iran - in both cases I'd argue it isn't terrorism. It sure is equally horrifying at least, but not every (mass)-killing is terrorism. It, if my assumption is right, both is killing of civilians. Or by legal definition, non-combatants. Targeting non-combatants is illegal according to international law. Not that any of these perpetrators care, but not holding them accountable is the real terror imo.
It's Gaza.
If you don't think destroying all the hospitals, water infrastructure, schools, and nearly every building in what is effectively a concentration camp is terrorism... You had better be calling it a genocide
Yeah i do consider what is happening in Gaza a genocide. My pont is that there is a definition connected to words like genocide and terrorism, and in that sense the images are not displaying the same thing. Sure, they are both horrible; but if the bottom image is Gaza than that is not terrorism, just like the attack on 9/11 wasn't conventional warfare. I get that the meme is going for 'when they do it, it's horrible; when we do it, it's fine', and OP is right; both are horrible and both caused a lot of suffering. Those responsible need to be held accountable.
I think it's Gaza.
