What about Menachem Begin?

Begin quickly made a name for himself as a fierce critic of mainstream Zionist leadership as being too cooperative with British ‘colonialism’, and as a proponent of guerrilla tactics against the British as a necessary means to achieve independence.

In 1942 he joined the Irgun (Etzel), an underground militant Zionist group which had split from the Jewish military organization, the Haganah, in 1931. In 1944 Begin assumed the organization's leadership, determined to force the British government to remove its troops entirely from Palestine.

Claiming that the British had reneged on their original promise of the Balfour Declaration, and that the White Paper of 1939 restricting Jewish immigration was an escalation of their pro-Arab policy, he decided to break with the Haganah, which continued to cooperate militarily with the British as long as they were fighting Nazi Germany.

Soon after he assumed command, a formal 'Declaration of Revolt' was publicized, and armed attacks against British forces were initiated.

emm, israeli terrorist i can think of all israel's prime ministers starting with David Ben-Gurion Golda Meir Menachem Begin Yitzhak Rabin Yitzhak Shamir Shimon PeresBenjamin Netanyahu Ehud Barak Ariel Sharon Ehud Olmert who, each one of them,commited war crimes and get away with it ,
what about israel as a terrorist state,
Israel's statehood is based on an unjust ideology which causes indignity and suffering for those who are classified as non-Jewish by either a religious or ethnic test. To hide this primordial immorality, Israel fosters an image of victimhood. Provoking violence, consciously or unconsciously, against which one must defend oneself is a key feature of the victim-mentality. By perpetuating such a tragic cycle, Israel is a terrorist state like no other.
The very creation of Israel required an act of terror. In 1948, most of the non-Jewish indigenous people were ethnically cleansed from the part of Palestine which became Israel. This action was carefully planned. Without it, no state with a Jewish majority and character would have been possible. Since 1948, the "Israeli Arabs", those Palestinians who avoided expulsion, have suffered continuous discrimination. Indeed, many have been internally displaced, ostensibly for "security reasons", but really to acquire their lands for Jews.

Several of both, actually. You don't have to have a bomb strapped to you to be a terrorist. As far as I'm concerned, a terrorist in the eyes of the government is just a more extreme terrorist than the bullies who terrorize their fellow classmates. But that's just my opinion.

Throughout history there have been some instances of Israelis and Jewish people attacking civilians intentionally. There are many attacks by settlers in the West Bank against the palestinian civilians. They don't use explosives all the time but they do attack civilians.

Bottom Line Israel has criminals just like all other countries, Judaism has criminals just like all other religions.

Yep. Yitzhak Rabin, the former Prime Minister of Israel, was assasinated by a right-wing Jewish extremist who thought Rabin was too close to the Arabs.

Don't be silly. "Our" crowd are always freedom fighters, not terrorists. Besides, Israel only came into existence by terrorism, sorry I mean freedom fighters, you can read that up in the history books.

Mosad, of course... but I think historically, Israel/jews have been so picked on that people just tend to think of it as self defense... whether its true or not that is how it is percieved
