Comment on What is the difference between terrorist attack vs military strike if both kill civilians?

It’s what the government wants to tell its citizens.

Any government can enact terrorist attacks or military strikes. However, random people can only conduct terrorist attacks (as they don’t have a military). The lines get blurred when you are talking about insurgent factions and occupied peoples. But it’s essentially a semantic choice depending on the propaganda you want to promulgate.

  They can call it whatever they like, but if there’s only a small handful the best the international community will grant is a “guerrilla” attack.
