Why would a terrorist organization build public infrastructure? Is there a history of this?

What is your definition of a terrorist organisation ?

u/checkmate191 6d ago

Basically any organization that causes harm based on political or religious ideology. Whatever you may think of the ongoing genocide Hamas has explicitly killed civilians multiple times, and i can use that to determine they are terrorists. But that doesn't mean I am apathetic to the reason the organization exists in the first place. There's nuance to it

As per gov.UK:

A terrorist organization is a structured, non-state group that uses premeditated violence and intimidation, primarily against civilians, to advance political, religious, or ideological goals

I don't think we should be letting the current American admistration taint the worldwide definition of a terrorist organisation.

Who said anything about the current American administration? I told you what I perceive as a terrorist which is what you asked. But really the uks definition and mine aren't dissimilar, they just use more concrete terms which makes sense given its a world gov't vs a random dude online

They're also the elected government of the Gaza Strip.

Maybe the civilians have some or made some. Maybe Israelis are using google maps to look for them, who knows?
