Red is quickly moving from an object of scorn to an object of pity.
LOL!
Begin, Mandela, and Arafat as terrorists.
Why not throw in,
say, Nathan Hale as well.?
Begin was a terrorist, Ward, whether you like it or not.
Bombing a hotel is not exactly the action of a peacenik.
Nathan Hale predated the Nobel Peace Prize.
Harkening back to Israel and Begin, "terrorist (n.) in the modern sense, 1944, especially in reference to Jewish tactics against the British in Palestine..." from etymonline (dot) com.
As for Nathan Hale, perhaps instead the French Revolution would be acceptable to you, as that was when the term was first applied. It's also been applied to the Maquis in WWII.
You really struggle with facts that don't fit your worldview. That must be very hard for you.
Begin was a terrorist. Arafat was a terrorist. They both won the Nobel Peace Price.
