If you’re a democracy, you’re responsible for whom you vote in.

Lmfao that hasn’t been true since Athens invented democracy. Alcibiades was elected plenty and still turned traitor. The average Palestinian doesn’t support Hamas, but they’re not going to denounce one of the few factions actually fighting towards their goals. Get Israel out of Palestine and

The difference between a freedom fighter and a terrorist is whether they’re shooting are you.

As a native American in modern America, tell me more about how the terrorists won. Lmao my people also fought back, were labeled “terrorists” (read “savages” for old timey historically accurate racism flavor), and were damn near driven to extinction. There’s a reason I’m French Indian instead of just Indian.

The Colonies revolted. And then, for good measure (/s), they terrorized everybody else.
The Bluecoats were terrorists. They had no legitimate basis to rebel against the Crown.
