In response to your question, there are other groups that are guilty of the same or worse acts of terrorism, but we have different names for them because we support their ideology. Many of the actions of the Israeli government are institutionalized forms of terrorism. We most certainly do determine what we call these groups. Any action can be made heroic or cowardly just by the words we use to describe them.

Guidance-bombing a building which has known enemies is not terrorism. It's part of war.
Indiscriminate rocket or suicide attacks purposely killing civilians is terrorism, not a part of war.
Don't let yourself be caught up in the greys. There are legal rules to war, there are legal definitions of terrorism. Israel, though they have blood on their hands, makes extreme strains to both make peace with and treat their enemies extremely well considering the bloodlust of their neighbors.
