Again, I’ve granted that there are edge cases. I disagree that the IRGC is adequately described as a terrorist organization but see why people make the argument.

Do you think the IDF is like the IRGC?

I think this is a good counter example. The Taliban clearly have used terrorist tactics to get into power (as have the early Zionists!) though I think calling the Taliban government a terrorist organization would obscure more than it would illuminate.

that’s a very broad definition that would include scary clowns and a leftist demonstrator in front a nazi’s house. I think you should narrow it down a bit

i think it’s useful to distinguish states from non-state actors from an analytical standpoint. this is not a moral judgement

how do you define “terrorist”

yes, for the most part. i think defining all war crimes as terrorism or all states committing war crimes as terrorist organizations is not helpful from an analytical standpoint at all. it obscures more than it illuminates. this is, again, not a moral judgement.
