Modern terrorism actually got started in July of 1946, when members of the Irgun (a Zionist Militant group)bombed, yes bombed, the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. This was under orders from the their leader, Menachem Begin, later an Israeli Prime Minister. Ninety one people were killed and forty five wounded. Sounds a lot like todays news,doesnt it?

It's not like that.
The King David Hotel in Jerusalem was bombed after the Irgun alarm the hotel and the Britians that they are going to bomb it.
They dodn't listen and stay in the hotel and unfortunately the results were sad.
The "modern terrorisn" didn't start by Israelis. The Arabs did this things for Israelis sine 1920 when they bombed buses, Israelis stores etc... While the arabs hurted the jews the jewish people were on a very big dilemma. On the one hand most of the people said that (members of the Hagana) that we shouldn't fight back. The ?redicals didn't agree and started fight back and done some really bad things...

Of course not, I've never said anything like that.
You said that the Isralis started this kind of trror and I just wanted to show you that it is not true. The fight of the Isralis organzations was only for hit back, after many innocent jewish people were killed by arabs.

Terrorism, even modern terrorism, certainly can't be traced to one spot like that.
It does look a lot like today, except today its Muslims doing the bombings.
