It doesnt cancel out but they can still be compared. Arguably its much worse when an entire state is carrying out terrorist style attacks. When a state loses its ability to separate terrorists from innocents, then that state weakens its own legitimacy and gives rise to even more terrorists.
When people face terror despite being peaceful, then they have no reason to stay peaceful.

One negative doesn’t cancel the other one, even if India is terrorist state, doesn’t mean attackers that shoot tourists are not terrorist.
