    For spray painting something in protest but just stop oil and extinction rebellion aren't despite doing the exact same thing many times?

    I'd imagine breaking into a military base might just have raised eyebrows.

    So it isn't the actual itself or the reason behind it that gets you considered a terrorist, it's where you choose to do it.

    Really the government should be lucky that it was a peaceful protest group who "broke in" and only sprayed some paint without harming any life

    They sabotaged two military assets that's terrorism possibly a treasonous act. They also are spreading lies by saying these aircraft are used to refuel Israeli planes they aren't because they physically can't due to the in flight refueling systems of UK and Israeli military aircraft being incompatible.

    Probably due to it being military property. A better way for these people to protest would be to fly to Israel and make their feelings known rather than damage property in a country that Israel doesn’t listen to.

    Because the military are deeply embarrassed by their appalling lack of security and need to save face....

    So the Greenham Common protestors were terrorists too?

    They cut up fences and trespassed on an RAF site. And generally from time to time made nuisances of themselves with their civil disobedience.

    Surely "terrorism" should be related to what you do, rather than where you do it.
