How is it a terrorist group? The nation state you are referring to is an occupying colonialist state. This same "state" is an apartheid state and not a democracy. You just have to scratch a little under the surface to see it. The nightly raids in the west bank. The concentration camp referred to as Gaza - where this "state" controls all utilities and imports. Hold anyone under your thumb for long enough and they will do their best to get out from under it. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction (Newton's Law of Motion seems to aptly fit)

Slaughtering a bunch of dancers at a festival seems congruent with terrorism to me. Your argument seems to be: it's okay to do terrorist things if someone makes you. But that's still terrorism.

    I recall seeing this shortly after Oct 7; though at that time it was difficult to distinguish whether it was propaganda. I think the Hannibal Directive is not great, but at the same time the Israelis wouldn't have committed those acts had the terrorists not crossed into Isreal intending to do terrorist things. It's terrorism whether you invade to kidnapp civilians or to murder them, and they're was plenty of civilian murdering happening that day as well. Even if Isreal goaded them into doing it to justify genocide, it's still Hamas who decided to do the terrorism.
