If someone kills the leader of a genocidal country, they are a hero to the genocided and a terrorist to the genocidal country. The leader of a genocidal country is a terrorist to the genocided and a hero to the genocidal country.
There is a pretty clear definition of terrorism and when you think actual genocidal islamists arent terrorist “because they fight the status quo and nothing else” you might need to find yourself in prison for terrorism support.
The thing that makes you a hero is killing a terrorist.
That is a matter of perspective.

You’re oversimplifying something to make your own point appear valid when it isn’t.
Everyone fighting against a status quo is a terrorist to those that benefit from it.
