Ok...here is some things specifically on the Middle East:
Have you ever hear of
Irgun?
90% of those who fought in the 1947 Independence War for the state of Israel were member of Irgun. Irgun's leader was Menachem Begin, who was the first Prime Minister of Israel.
Irgun was a terrorist group. They blew up trains, busses, buildings, etc. Their attacks were primarily on civilian targets, the goal being to cause chaos.
This is from the above article:
In 1948, The New York Times published a letter signed by a number of prominent Jewish figures including Hannah Arendt, Albert Einstein, Sidney Hook, and Rabbi Jessurun Cardozo, which described Irgun as a "a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine". The letter went on to state that Irgun and the Stern gang "inaugurated a reign of terror in the Palestine Jewish community. Teachers were beaten up for speaking against them, adults were shot for not letting their children join them. By gangster methods, beatings, window-smashing, and widespread robberies, the terrorists intimidated the population and exacted a heavy tribute."
Soon after World War II, Winston Churchill said "we should never have stopped immigration before the war", but that the Irgun were "the vilest gangsters" and that he would "never forgive the Irgun terrorists."
I've heard similar claims made by you against Hamas. As much as it pains you to face reality, they are 99% the same, and any student of history simply has to laugh at Israel's current stance on terrorism. The state formed by terrorists is against terrorism. How ironic.
