Jewish Terrorism!!!

Irgun's "terrorism" against the British is no more terrorism than our own country's founding fathers was against the British.

Terrorism is a meaningless term. When a nation's military drops a bomb during war (decalred or not) on a civilian target, how is that any less terrorism than if non-national military actors do the exact same thing?

Thus what we might call terrorism is really just what we call every non-national military combatant's actions. But if the only difference is being official military or not, is the term really significant?

You are correct. Terrorism is a universal among peoples:

"If they do not now accept our terms they may expect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth."

-- Harry Truman; from presidential statement (August 6, 1945)

Do you infer that Truman's actions which brought WW2 to a rapid conclusion amounted to terrorism? If so your "education" needs rapid repair.

Terrorism: "the use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal"

Terrorism - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

It meets the definition...

No it doesn't. The bombs were used to end the war and they did so in a matter of days. Imagine how many lives were saved by that abrupt ending.
