A good concession for a terrorism essay for my English class?

Except that the essay isn't asking you about specific acts of terrorism, it's asking if terrorism can be justified. There is no "balance" here: it's a yes or no question. If you can name situations in which it can be justified, then your answer is yes, regardless of the actions of any particular organization and whether or not you agree with them.

If you say "terrorism can't be justified. Except for blah blah blah blah blah. Here is why terrorism can't be justified, ignoring everything I just said:" then it is a bad essay.

OK.

I still don't want to say yes though. If I can make a solid essay saying no then that's all I need.

I thought you just demonstrated that a "no" conclusion is anything but solid.
