They weren't offered peace. They were threatened with mass murder.
If Moses had negotiated in a rational manner you'd have a case.

So the course of events (vastly simplified)
"Give us three days to worship and we'll come back."
"No, come back now."
"Guess I just have to start killing people."
Or something like that? That's terrorism not negotiation. Hardly an offer of peace. The request certainly wasn't unreasonable but the response to rejection was ridiculously out of proportion.

"Give us three days to worship and we'll come back."
"No, come back now." wrong, it's like: "no way!"
"Guess I just have to start killing people." wrong... there are many things Moses did for the Egypt for them to accept

So he was rude, hardly worth killing over.
Did these things involve talking or were they more plagues? (which would be terrorism again)
