Under the most widely agreed upon, historically-continuous, definition, the answer is no. Terrorism is generally agreed upon to invlve non-state actor. There are some (Critical Terrorism Studies scholars and pundits like Glenn Greenwald) who disagree.

Great piece by @hoffman_bruce on explaining the differences between terrorism and hate crimes. Every journalist should read this so that when they’re on air they know the difference between the two and use the terms appropriately. twitter.com/levitt_matt/st…

Last week’s mail bombs and synagogue attack have reignited a heated discussion of hate crimes and terrorism in the United States. Definitions matter in this debate, writes @hoffman_bruce on.cfr.org/2Q1DVjo

(2) Historian Eric Alterman, one of the leading scholars of this period, reviewed the book in The Nation and cites the figure in his review, which gives it further credence.

(1) I thought it sounded high, too. However, Bryan Burrough's Days of Rage: America's Radical Underground, the FBI, and the Forgotten Age of Revolutionary Violence (New York: Penguin, 2015) is arguably among the most authoritative accounts of this subject. See p. 5.

Why are some attacks considered #Terrorism and others not? There is more into it than a different point of view. @SalamPlan answers with leading experts @hoffman_bruce etc salamplan.com/en/terrorism/w… #MondayMotivation #MAGABomber #CesarSayoc #ROBERTBOWERS #PittsburghSynagogueShooting pic.twitter.com/SzsOSQvG46

Election, sectarian & political violence are hardly new to America but are pathologies we believed had been banished to an ugly past. It is incomprehensibly sad that they have both re-surfaced & are now encouraged as @MaxBoot warns. wapo.st/2ENBmAd

6) The Gab social media platform is a cesspool for extreme rhetoric from white supremacists, who use it as a safe haven. Shows that while major platforms like Twitter and Facebook receive brunt of criticisms, smaller ones like Gab often evade such demands for accountability.

For the record, Mr. President: I've never worked with a journalist who purposely reported something false or inaccurate. On the (hopefully rare) occasions we make an error, we correct--immediately & publicly. Been my experience over 25 yrs @NPR, @BBC, @CNN, @TheAtlantic &@AJC. twitter.com/realDonaldTrum…

Actually, the very first thing CNN was evacuate our NYC offices because of a bomb threat.
And I didn’t hear one CNN employee on TV or privately accuse anyone other than the bomber/s of being responsible for the devices. Not one. twitter.com/markknoller/st…

Creating more jobs is one thing, but protecting workers who fill those jobs should be just as important. This is precisely the kind of non-partisan issue that congress needs to move on and the president needs to sign into law.
