  1. The fascists of WWII considered resistance to their fascism to be "terrorism". Resistance groups sometimes killed civilian "collaborators". Natives of North America got sick of the European colonialism, ethnic cleansing, etc., and decided they wanted to push the Europeans back into the sea, and sometimes attacked civilians. The colonialists (who also attacked civilians, like Israel regularly does), on the other hand, considered them "Savages!". The colonialism, fascism, etc., comes first. The "savage" "terrorist" attacks are a response. The only real way to end having a response, is to stop doing the things thay cause a response. Or, utterly destroy the responders.

  2. I doubt anyone is denying what happened. But, if you look at something like the Indian Massacre of 1622, in which the natives massacred many civilians in and around Jamestown, you can't look at it and say it was entirely the natives fault ... "Savages!". Their actions were a response. If what caused that response had never happened, they wouldn't have responded, right? So, ultimately, the issue is with the colonialists, causing "savage" responses.

  3. ​ @jimbond  Israel's own foundation lies in colonialism and terrorism. Palestinians have been ethnically cleansed. How are they not also "defending" themselves? Colonialists are always the invader.

  4.  @jasonhammond4301  One is still a response, and one isn't. The US wouldn't have bombed Japan, if Japan had never officially brought them into the war, right?

  5.  waynebanks6515  The difference, here, is that Jews had been living with Muslims for 1200+ years. Muslims weren't force converting, like Christians. When Christians reconquered Spain, the vast majority of the population was still Christian. The Christian conquerors then gave Jews and Muslims an ultimatum ... conversion, death, or exile. The Sephardic Jews left with the Muslims, and most settled in the Ottoman Empire, which welcomed them. Early Zionism also started under the Ottoman Empire. Basically all major tensions stem from the British screwing Palestinians out of self rule over their lands, with the Balfour declaration, which led to the creation of Israel. That, not religion, was the initial core of the problem, on the Arab world side of things. On the Zionist side of things, there was definitely a religious aspect to thinking they had any right to their supposed "god given land".
