The Ukrainian resistance aren’t called terrorists, the french resistance during ww2 weren’t called terrorists.

That's probably because neither of those groups exhibited the mediaeval barbarity against civilians Hamas has been celebrating.

Hamas are like them freedom fighters and the atrocities they commit mirrors that of the aggressor.

Hamas is explicitly calling for genocide. "The aggressor," is not. Israel goes to great lengths to minimize civilian deaths, even notifying targets of incoming airstrikes before they hit.

If you think these actions are morally equivalent your moral compass is broken. One side is trying to defend themselves and the other side is trying to eradicate every member of their opponent's society.

They want freedom and they fight for it !

Perhaps they should negotiate for it rather than continually provoking an enemy they cannot defeat militarily and hiding among civilians. That would prevent many needless civilian casualties.
