For example the masacare at Wounded Knee, or the killing of innocent pioneers by the Mormons, or the endless car bombs by the IRA in Ireland, the attacks by Israel shortly after WWII.

Great answers. So how do you fight a war on terrorism? it seems random and only part of the time waged by an army or a country and more by individuals and small groups. So are the IRA terrorists? If yes, why are they allowed to be elected with USA support in Ireland but when Hammas wins a free election we do not accept it.

The earliest I can recall is the Iranians taking American hostages in the embassy. I was alive, but just a baby when the Munich Olympics massacre occured.

The earliest one that I actually remember? Y'know, I think it was actually the Patty Hearst kidnapping. Either that or the attack on the Olympics - can't remember exactly which one was first. Both were in the early 70's, & I didn't watch the news much as a kid.
Looked it up: The Black September (Palestinian Terrorist group) attack on the Munich Olympics was a year or two before the Hearst Kidnapping, so that's the earliest one I actually remember.

I remember the Olympics in Mexico City, 1968, and the Olympics in Munich, 1972, both of which suffered terrorist attacks.

How about the killing of innocent Mormons by the mobs at Haun's Mill?

The bombing of the King David Hotel in Jeruselem by Israeli terrorist/freedom fighters, depending on what side you supported.

If it's in my life, the Colombine shootings. (I'm 15, was 6 when it happened)
If in history, the attacks of Babylon to the Israelites.

If you mean in my lifetime it would probably be the Munich Olympics in 1972.
