> Terrorism has a simple definition: using force against civilian life to further ones goals.

Not disagreeing with the definition but this is what both sides have been doing.

Look, blowing up aid workers, which is in question in this article, is also terrorism. Killing unarmed civilians, kids, etc is also terrorist. Also if you you use your definition for what Israel has been doing in the last 70-80 years it makes them terrorists as well, the word is simply meaningless at this point.

What political/ideological goal does attacking the aid workers move forward? It's a war crime, no doubt, but terrorism has a meaning that doesn't include all war crimes.

> Killing unarmed civilians, kids, etc is also terrorist.

The vast majority of lethal force actions in Gaza are targeting Hamas operations. Civilians getting killed by those strikes is NOT terrorism.

Terrorizing aid workers, which reduces how much aid reaches the Palestinian population?
