Ted, I'll bring up a better example than your overly-contrived "what if" scenarios.

When Japan occupied Korea between 1910-1945, Koreans suffered dearly. You can imagine how the plight of the Koreans compared to the plight of the Palestinians. Needless to say, many Korean freedom fighters committed acts of guerilla warfare which could be considered "terrorism."

However, there is a HUGE difference. Korean freedom fighters never called for the death and destruction of Japan. Koreans never made it a formal policy to slaughter Japanese women and children (although I'm sure the thought had crossed their minds, to say the least). All Koreans wanted was their country back.

And most importantly, there was NO analog to Hamas in Korea during the Japanese occupation. No formalizing of an evil doctrine, no Mafia-like tactics to keep dissenting opinion from existing, no constant flood of suicide bombers onto the Japanese mainland targeting women and children.

So before you continue conjuring up even more extreme scenarios, you might want to consider the many oppressed people groups throughout history (such as Korea 1910-1945) who never resorted to the organized evil that Hamas and other groups are spreading across Palestine.
