Then you don't differentiate between Palestinians blowing up civilians and
Israelis retaliating against terrorist targets? And note I said
"retaliating". It doesn't appear that Israelis are first to strike.

You obviously have a shorter memory than the Palestinians. The
Palestine/Israel conflict has been filled with atrocities on both sides.
The Stern Gang's tactics would fit most definitions of a terrorist
organization. Failure to recognize both parties having blood on their
hands is one of the reasons the Palestinian/Israeli conflict has been
raging for over 50 years. The boneheads in Israel's Likud Party seem
determined to continue the conflict for the next 50 years.
