Dus als de wet ingaat mogen we niet meer met Russische en Israëlische vlagen zwaaien?

A government can meet the definition of a “terrorist group” if it engages in actions that fit widely accepted definitions of terrorism.

Most definitions of terrorism, such as those used by the United Nations or academic research, boil down to:
• *The deliberate use of violence* (or the threat of it)
• *Against civilians or non-combatants*
• *For political, religious, or ideological purposes*
• *To instill fear or coerce a population or government*

If a government — through its military, police, or security forces — deliberately targets civilians to achieve political goals, those acts can be described as *state terrorism*.
