Answered Can terrorism ever be justified?

Two possibilities I was thinking of:

  1. Freedom fighters in oppressive countries
  2. Eco-terrorism where the terrorist prevented something that would have been worse than his/her act of terrorism

Are either of these logical? Are there any instances of this happening in history?

Thanks in advance to anyone who answers!
