questioning whether it was a terror attack is like questioning whether rain is water. definitionally, executing civilian targets is terrorism. deserved (9/11) or otherwise (this), that's what terrorism is. when obamna drone struck a wedding? definitionally terrorism. not because of the presence or lack of presence of a military objective, but because of the presence of civilians. that's why the rhetoric about this gives away the terrorism question in order to accuse literal children of also being military targets.
but have you considered that terrorism is actually defined as "any detrimental act committed by an enemy of the empire against imperial property?"
