Terrorism is like any other act of violence in that when the targets are unambiguously evil people it’s actually a good thing
Sure, we can agree on that depending on your definition of evil people. To target civilians indiscriminately is not a good thing, though. It’s bad when the IDF does it and it’s bad when Hamas does it. Resistance is not killing random people because of where they live, that’s terrorism. Resistance is fighting your oppressors.
I very much doubt that Hamas hand picked their targets on Oct 7. I doubt that those who died, or were taken hostage, were all evil people hellbent on eradicating Palestinians. They died and were taken hostage simply because of where they were at the time.
Nearly all hostages taken by Hamas were IDF or former IDF. They primarily targeted generals and IDF bases, which thanks to Israel’s Hannibal strategy are interspersed in civilian areas.
Given the number of causalities, Hamas acted, and has always acted, with more valor and more care for civilians than the IDF who are famous for sniping children and reporters.
Resistance is killing those that oppress you, even if they take off their uniform and throw a party next to your concentration camp.
