Do the Palestinians have a right to defend themselves? Or are we just going to call any retaliation "terrorism"?

Yeah, it worked great for US forces when they captured uniformed, trained, ranked military in countries we decided were state sponsored terrorists, so they weren't military, just 'enemy combatants' being 'extraordinarily renditioned' to an 'advanced interrogation' in a 'happy play time building' or what ever insane bullshit we were saying when we were 'liberating' oil fields, poppy fields, and other private resources to be carefully maintained by a trusted and legitimate corporation rather than being LOOTED, by a dictator to do evil shit like... build schools and hospitals... but also chemical weapons he bought. And WE KNOW!!! because we sold them to him.
But yes....
They are clearly all terrorists. Particularly when they attack Israeli police or military.

Oh, but I've been told that Gazans voted for Hamas, so they're getting what they deserve. Awfully young voting age they have in Gaza...
Let's be real here.
Israelis just like killing Palestinians.
Any claim otherwise is probably made in bad faith.
Considering Hamas ended all voting when they came into power, it seems unlikely these children did. Also because there children.
Hasbara is quite active on Lemmy recently
United States of Israel
It's just children! They would have probably gotten really angry and grown into militant adults. Remember how the avengers didn't kill Hitler as a child or Thanos? They didn't get it.
Anyway sorry for this comment. Imagine how insensible and out of touch you would have to be to think of, plan and authorize such an attack. The only thing I can think of right now is how we could change our government so it could never help stuff like this to happen. Do the Ukraine thing and help in a morally strong way!
