There is in fact international consensus on what constitutes a terrorist organization. Hamas, ISIS, Al-Qaida, Hezbollah, Houtis, Boko Haram and so on, very clearly quality.

Sure, China or Russia can and will label political opponents "terrorists" to justify persecution against them. Their goal is to destroy the international consensus, so that "terrorist" becomes a purely subjective label. By equating Israel's bombing of an actual terrorist group with Russia's persecution of a fake one, you are supporting Russia in this effort.

Instead, you should equate Israel killing Hamas leaders with the US killing Bin Laden, coalition forces bombing ISIS in Iraq, France bombing islamists in Mali, etc.

"Terrorist" is just this century's n-word. It has been applied wilfully by racists towards their chosen out-group victims in order to justify their atrocities.
