The other sites mention groups with more recent activity. I never disputed that such terrorism happened in fact I said "If you also count occasional small scale terrorism from disconnected individuals that Zionist/Jewish/Israeli terrorism still hasn't stopped, you'll always have crazy or evil individuals." I should modify that statement to include small groups but my main point that there have not been large scale terrorism was the Israeli government or some Israeli organization with wide spread support is correct.

How widespread was the support of the Kahane in the 1970s? I don't know but they were not a small org. And then are there are the settlers who take the law into their own hands and the Israeli's secret police, the Mossad. They too have committed terrorist attacks on their opponents.

2 - The legitimacy of the Palestinian cause and the legitimacy of their tactics are two different issues. We can talk about either or both but an argument about one shouldn't be used to support points about the other.

You just don't seem to want to get it. We're talking about david and goliath and you want david to play by your rules. It ain't going to happen nor should you be surprised that it won't.

The situations behind the war help determine whether the war is justified but once you have conflict some tactics are legitimate and justified and some are not. If the Palestinians are going to do there best to wage war and terrorism against Israel then Israel has to fight back.

Who are you to judge?

A possible scenario.....you've been captured by terrorists who will torture you for info and then kill you. You have a chance to escape.....you've killed the jailer and gotten out of your cell. Outside the jail, there is an innocent driver with a truck that you need to escape. You have to kill the driver to get the truck. What are you going to do? Go back into your cell and lock the door because its not a legitimate tactic to kill an innocent bystander? I don't think so.

The Zionists were not willing to do the independence of Israel right, and instead, stole Palestine from the Palestinians. They are a paying a dear price for their aggressiveness and arrogance.
