    Terrorism is the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals.

    Genocide is an international crime defined as specific acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.

    What happened in 2001 is in fact terrorism.

    What’s happening in Gaza is in fact genocide.

    Both are bad one is worse. If you can’t figure out which one is the worst one please reevaluate your life choices.

        I literally just gave the definitions of the two terms. They are ideologically two completely different things.

        Although I will grant that terrorism can turn into genocide.
