Terrorists = Anyone fighting against western imperialism and colonialism
No, terrorists are people who attack civilians as a war crime. Including actions from both the IDF and Hamas. And certain actions from US troops in various wars. But this is not the first account nor instance of UNRWA and its facilities being used in support of or directly for when Hamas does military action, which only endangers Palestinian civilians. If hospitals and schools etc. are indiscriminately used as war facilities, they become valid targets under international law, and thereby makes the civilians there much more at risk.
They're literally both terrorists, I don't know what to tell you. But even when killing civilians, there are rules that sometimes allow it according to proportionality rules (which I think Israel has violated). And of course the Israeli government actively wants to and are by the definitions of many committing genocide, which is way worse.
Unless you think that Hamas killing people at a music festival is somehow a valid military target, they're terrorists. Just like how the IDF are terrorists for attacking Palestinian journalists and innocent family members.
"Terrorist" is a meaningless term in the first place really. It's used by the imperial core to describe anyone from their own right-wing tools like the ISIS to anyone fighting against imperialism like Hamas or Ansarullah.
