This is a straw man argument. I designate you as a banana! There, the word banana is now meaningless.

It is quite well defined.

The word is notoriously ill-defined, so much in fact that most newspapers of record will not use it [1]

My point is that countries designate groups of people as "terrorists" all the time for political reasons. Here's another example: "Venezuela: UN experts condemn use of counter-terrorism laws to convict trade unionists and labour leaders"

Yes, and his point is that "terrorism" is still a meaningful term for groups like Hamas.

But we know you understand this.
