There is no justification for terrorism. There may be justification for terror... as in torture to get information that saves hundreds of lives.

It is not black and white. There are, at least, hypothetical situations where terrorism can be morally justified. My question is if there are any real life situations that are arguably morally justifiable.

On the other hand, terrorism employed in conjunction with guerrilla warfare in a protracted war of liberation may well prove useful and therefore also justified, as it did in Algeria and South Vietnam. Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy
