“I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism,” [Leon] Panetta said on “CBS News Sunday morning.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) condemned Israel over the pager explosions, saying the incident “unequivocally violates international humanitarian law and undermines U.S. efforts to prevent a wider conflict.”

By being genocidal lying sacks of shit.

And Hezbollah is not a “terrorist group,” it’s an anti-imperialist, anti-settler-colonial Lebanese political party, and a paramilitary that liberated southern Lebanon from the Israeli state.

Putting bombs in widely distributed electronics makes you a terrorist as does launching rockets at civilians. Whatever their goals it is their actions that define them.
