What exactly is a “militant”?

Scott Horton, July 19, 2006

Ever notice that when the Israeli government murders someone, they call them a “militant“? Now, Hamas suicide bombers and riflemen are “terrorists,” but what exactly is a “militant”? It seems that if those they killed were “terrorists,” they would say so.

I’m sticking with the definition “innocent bystander” until someone can show me different.
