Yeah but in that case:

US government and Canadian are terrorists (look at their list of war crimes against civilians, genocide of native Americans, kidnapping and “re-educating” native children for ethnic cleansing). The US independence war literally got kicked off by torturing civilian tax collectors by ripping their skin off after dragging them through the streets

Israel is a terrorist state (genocide against a specific ethnic group definitely fits this definition even if they just did it for expansionism, that is a political goal and there are 36000 that Israel has killed directly on the low end, including over 224 civilian humanitarian aid workers and 179 civilian unwra workers)

Hamas is a terrorist organization

Dole is a terrorist organization (banana republics, Hawaii)

Many police organizations nowadays are terrorists (constant violence against innocent civilians), especially in the US

Belgium is a terrorist state (Congo anyone?)

France is a terrorist state (they have a special police battalion hand picked for violence against civilians lol)

Russian army is a terrorist org (talk about violence against civilians, they have wiped out so many villages and just killed and dumped the population)

Hell, Britain is a terrorist org (Kenya atrocities like the chuka massacre, the Irish???, Iraq & Afganistan?? BBC themselves reported how the British government was covering up their forces killing and torture of civilians and children in the middle east)

The point is that a news org can’t (or shouldn’t) just cherry pick who they want to label terrorists because that, no matter which way you slice it, will be political bias. Their own government has committed many, MANY acts of terror very recently.
