Americans were terrorists (not an army, but a militia, when fighting King George).
Terrorism doesn't even have to kill people (though it often does).
also, genocide doesn't even have to kill anybody (though it often does).
War kills, no exceptions. It's rarely, if ever, military targets only.
Fun Fact: Every act of genocide ever commited in human history has been done exclusively by conservatives.
Conservatives are truly, deeply evil. Disown them.
Settler colonialism is genocidal by nature, guesssseug and what the Israeli liberal did genocidal acts
Many, many Israelis are conservatives. How do you not know that? Wait. You do know that. You're just being dishonest for some reason.
Also, the opposite of conservative is progressive, not liberal. For example, neo-liberals like Chuck Schumer and Ronald Reagan are not progressive. They are conservative. The More You Know...
Olmert is liberal, Barack is liberal, Rabin, was liberal none support a totally independent Palestinian state. As much as I hate Conservatives they are not the only supporter of Genocide. Let's not talk about the liberal West who, supporter Israel with weapons
the first is blow back for the second, as Chalmers Johnson said it would
Immortal technique 911 freestyle.

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.
Killing civilians is terrorism.
It doesn't matter if your delivery system is a suicide bomber or a drone or a manned aircraft... or (to cite a bonified terror weapon) a railroad gun used to siege cities.
Wasn't 9/11 retaliation born from a coup or something to do with assad?
Afghanistan. The CIA created instability within the country arming fundamentalists that caused a nasty civil war. The point was to bait the Soviets into a quagmire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Afghan_War
