The first recorded terrorists were the children of Israel who under the leadership of Joshua "DROVE TERROR" into the rightful native inhabitants of Canaan & Palestine and seized their lands. (Somewhere in Joshua). Also Samson was the first recorded suicide terrorist when he knocked down a tower/building and killed thousands at one blow. He was years before the 19 9/11 suicide terrorists.

The Jewish concept of "struggle" is a primitive notion reminiscent of the life of the hunter gatherer and the dangers of the open desert, where every stranger is considered a threat to be killed, captured, or at the very least, put to use for one's own purposes, being looked upon no differently than would an animal. In the stories of the Old Testament one finds innumerable examples of this struggle. We read, for instance, that after the death of Moses, Joshua son of Nun wished to enter Palestine with his people. So he encamped around the city of Jericho and commanded the people to blow their horns. "As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people raised a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. Then they utterly destroyed all in the city, both men and women, young and old, oxen, sheep, and asses, with the edge of the sword " (Joshua 6:20-21).
The notion of struggle has taken root over time in the hearts of the Jewish people, evolving into a mentality characterized by racial prejudice and social reclusiveness" . Moreover, in the ancient Jewish writings we find a type of religious literature referred to as "eschatological" writings, the literal meaning of this term being "description of the end". (The Greek term eschatologie is composed of two words, namely eschatos, meaning "the end", and logos, meaning speech, or description.) Such writings depict a particular end to which the world must inevitably come. And in all Jewish writings on this theme we find that the notion of struggle in associated with this inevitable end, while the final victory in the struggle is, inescapably and by the nature of things, Israel.
In the book attributed to the Old Testament prophet Ezekiel, we find numerous visions related to this unavoidable end, one which begins with the cleansing of Jewish society from all impurity. It is a purification which will take place through wars, siege and death and in which God pours out His wrath upon Jerusalem and its inhabitants: "A third part of you shall die of pestilence and be consumed with famine in the midst of you; a third part shall fall by the sword round about you; and a third part I [God] will scatter to all the winds and will unsheathe the sword after them" (Ezekiel 5:12). Once this purification has taken place, the chosen people - or what is left of them - will be worthy to enter the final battle in which they will win victory and dominion over the world
