Look at Begin and the thugs of the Irgun - what they did to the 90 odd people in the King David Hotel was a classic act of terrorism. Or were they courageous freedom fighters?

The attack on the King David Hotel was an attack on a building being used as the British military headquarters. The Irgun gave the British ample warning of the attack so that the building could be evacuated with out injuries or loss of life. THE BRITISH CHOSE NOT TO EVACUATE THE KING DAVID HOTEL.

On the other hand, the goal of the Hamas homicidal suicide bombers is to kill as many children, senior citizens and civilian Israelis as possible.
