What a ridiculous question. The real answer, and the one commonly accepted in any Arab country, is I don't condemn resistance movements. I only blame them for not doing more to avoid civilian casualties that's all.

“Palestine has a right to defend itself.” “Do you deny Palestines’s right to exist?”

Getting into semantic debates with imperial citizens about an objective definition of “terrorism” is useless, because “terrorism” has been effectively defined in the imperial consciousness since at least 2001 as “subhuman enemy without rights under law”.
