Who is a terrorist?
Terrorists mean the people whose activities are against the interest of general people as well as the whole nation. But is there any absolute definition of a terrorist? The US and Israel consider the Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation. But Hezbollah is not a terrorist group to the people of Lebanon as well as to the people of Muslim countries. People of Muslim countries have great support for Hezbollah. Basically, Hezbollah fights against Israel to drive out the illegal occupants. Three former prime ministers of Israel were categorised as terrorists by the British because they murdered British representatives.
Accordingly, the term "terrorist" is used according to one's own perspective. So, as there is no accurate definition of a terrorist, the UN has failed to define who is a terrorist.
