I get that to westerners “terrorist” is the worst label ever, but terrorism is weak sauce compared to the shit Israel gets up to. “Colonizers” would be a much more appropriate label.
I mean, Hitler took inspiration from Manifest Destiny and American actions in the early 20th century, so Americans at the time weren’t meaningfully distinguishable from Nazis on the atrocities front.

It’s not intended as a pejorative, so its perceived weakness is irrelevant.
It’s a precise term with a very specific definition in international law, and that’s the point.
It’s not, actually. At least not that I know of.
America is colonizers. Israel is colonizers, yes, but they are modern Nazis.
