The idea of being a terrorist is breaking international law and all laws.

The idea of being a democracy and a sovereign nation means to follow international law.

If a sovereign nation doesn't follow international law they become on par with the terrorists.

There is no such thing as self defense for an occupying force. This is international law. Hamas, PLO and any Palestinian that chooses to resist against their occupying power is not breaking international law. Israel claiming self defense while occupying is a breach of international law.
