The concept that committing an act of terrorism is an action that by its very action dehumanizes those responsible is an important concept that seems to have escaped many.

With reference in particular to the above, Micheal, you have spoken in a rational, reasonable sort of way, so I would love you to tell me about Irgun and the other two Zionist militias whose terrorising actions initiated how many thounsdands ... was it over half the Palestinian population of the mid 1940's to flee for their lives; following attacks that included murder and rape? Has anyone tried to make any kind of reparations in relation to that? Please explain the difference between those terrosit actions and the attack by Hamas.

Because morally speaking, there is a difference.
