Terrorists or freedom fighter

Are these your guys opinions, or the summary of the video? I'm not watching a 40-minute video for what is likely to be highly biased one way or the other.
My opinion.
Judging on the video being from Al Jazeera, I'd expect them to have some politically motivated conclusion, probably the inverse of what wabasca said.
This coming from a guy that post videos tht are 4 hours long tht he clearly didn't watch, then dump on others for not wanting to expand their knowledge base. Clearly do as I say not as I do.
So still don't want to tell us your opinion of this question you felt was so important? Horrors, if you did, you might say something stupid or make a mistake; classic DM.
shrek71 nailed it.
Al Jazeera (not the American division) produces some excellent journalism, especially their in-depth articles. Of course you have to know who funds it (the Emir of Qatar) to be wary of bias, but in my experience their coverage of most world events is a refreshing change from US-dominated news sources. They employ dozens of western journalists (ex BBC, etc) with very good track-records.
As for a classic example of the terrorist/freedom fighter non-question, consider Menachem Begin whose Irgun militia blew up the Jerusalem King David hotel and 91 people (mostly Brits) in 1946. Again - shrek71 summarized it perfectly.
My post above was meant to summarize the classic Western government/media definition of terrorist.

According to Putin, those big men carrying big guns in Crimea are not Russian soldiers but simply concerned "citizens". Didn't Hitler say the same thing about the Brownshirts?
Begin attacking the British military headquarters = the act of a freedom fighter. Begin attacking civilian targets = the act of a terrorist.
Same goes for anyone else. Hamas attacking Israeli military = the act of freedom fighters. Hamas attacking civilians = the act of terrorists.
This shouldn't be a question of ambiguous politics, merely of ethics.
