What is the definition of terrorism, basically? More than 25 years ago it emerged

these terms emerged in the world, and there was confusion in understanding the meaning of

“terrorist.” What does “terrorist” mean? In my view, the terrorist is the one who

kills innocent people, children, and the public, and uses illegitimate means

to harm people. So if we apply this description to many

countries in the world, we find that the number of victims in Gaza

is almost sixty thousand people, most of them innocent. The Syrian

regime, over fourteen years, has killed more than one million people in Syria,

and up to this very moment we have more than 250,000 people missing,

disappeared, whose fate is unknown. We freed all the prisons, but we did not find

those people who vanished. It caused the displacement of more than fourteen million

people, yet it is not called terrorist. We see that wars took place in the region,

in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in different places, and all those who were killed

were mostly innocent, while the killers are called… they are the ones who describe

the others terrorists. So I think that after twenty-five years it has become

that people have an awareness of the meaning of the word “terrorist,” and who deserves this word

exactly.
