Comment on TikTok appoints ex-IDF solider as its 'hate speech manager'

National militaries commit war crimes thus she is a war criminal not a terrorist. Terrorists might have some degree of legitimacy behind their actions which war criminals do not have.

If “national militaries do not commit acts of terrorism” (source?), the IDF, by that definition, is not a national military. There is no definition of terrorism that excludes the IDF’s actions during the last 75 years

Go look up what defines “terrorism” it’s non-nation states engaging in political violence.
Armies commit war crimes. This is entry level IR stuff.

I hope you find comfort outside of bullshit semantic arguments
I think we agree on a more substantial level so I’m happy to leave it at that

This isn’t a matter of semantics. You cannot charge IDF soldiers with terrorism you can and should push for their prosecution for crimes against humanity and/or war crimes. It is important to make the right claims as to what laws are violated so you appear informed when making these demands.
