  • Tough international law does not provide a clear definition of the term ‘terrorism’, there is a general consensus on this issue. According to this consensus, terrorism involves intimidating the civilian population while causing minimal damage to the enemy’s military capabilities, with the aim of maximising civilian casualties, particularly among vulnerable groups such as children, women, the elderly and the wounded.

    Such actions were seen on 11 September 2001, when Islamic terrorists hijacked four passenger planes and flew them into New York and Washington, in what is currently recognised as the largest terrorist attack in human history.

    Yes, clearly those heinous attacks on civilians are worthy of being compared to 9/11. Not Russia’s deliberate attacks on Ukrainian cities though, they are totally fine. This propaganda trash has nothing in common with actual reporting. Get it out of the news community.
