Comment on EU gives Meta 24 hours to 'take action' on Hamas videos
BrikoX@lemmy.zip 11 months agoWhile your points are valid, the comparison is not. EU has Hames designated as a terrorist organization, so in comparison to that the actions are the same as with ISIS or Al-Qaida.
And EU did callout Israel for breaking international law, though it’s very unlikely they will take any other actions apart from calling them out.

Of course theyre designated as terrorists, theyre fighting back against israel military occupation of their country.

Regardless of one’s acceptance or rejection of their status as “freedom fighters” they are absolutely terrorists.

I think the two terms are mutually exclusive. Ukrainian military forces arent terrorists for fighting back against russian military occupation, even when attacking on Russian land it's self defense against the occupation. Gaza is militarily occupied by Israel.

Remember that time when Ukrainian soldiers shot down a few hundred civilians on a music festival? Me neither…

They are not mutually exclusive in any way, shape or form. Terrorism and terrorist are descriptors, not moral judgments. Nelson Mandela was a terrorist and a freedom fighter, for instance.
