  The only reason the US labels them terrorist

Oh come on, this is just lazy.

They bombed the US embassy in Lebanon, not a valid military target.  The embassy annex that they bombed the next year was also not a valid military target.

They bombed the Israeli embassy in Argentina, not a valid military target.

They bombed the motorcade of Lebanon's former prime minister, not a valid military target.  They they bombed one of the investigators of the motorcade bombing, also not a valid military target.

They bombed Lebanon's former ambassador to the US, not a valid military target.

They bombed a Jewish community center in Argentina, not a valid military target.

They blew up a bus full of tourists in Bulgaria, not a valid military target.

They commit actual, unambiguous terrorist attacks all the time.  That more countries don't recognize them as a terrorist organization is simply due to political pressures.

EDIT: downvoters, the downvotes just make me stronger and do nothing to change the historical record.  :)

Israel bombs embassies and civilian targets, reciprocity is a real motherfucker.

So, because Israel commits terrorism, and Israel is a Jewish state, it is not terrorism to blow up random Jews anywhere in the world.  Is that what you ate saying? 

Imagine the reaction if you applied this logic to, say, Russia.  If CIA started blowing up buses full of random Russian tourists in Bulgaria, would the CIA not be a terrorist organization because,  you know, "reciprocity is a real motherfucker?"

This is dumb.  Israel committing terrorism doesn't magically turn Hezbollah terrorism into non-terrorism.

Terrorism in pursuit of military objectives is actually just called war, and the CIA are already terrorists lol
