Let's say a terrorist was in a mall, would the police be allowed to blow up the mall killing hundreds of civilians? Would we call this terrorism? (probably we would).
Having said that I don't accept the analogy that Israel is the "police". It simply is a criminal state created through the ethnic cleansing of another people. It has always relied on extreme violence to pursue its goals.
BTW even though it is irrelevant to this discussion, I would like to point out the Zionists' terrorism started long before Hamas came into existence. Yad Vashem is built over what used to be the peaceful Palestinian village of Deir Yassin whose inhabitants were brutally murdered by the Irgun terrorist gang in 1948 (the same terrorist gang that Rahm Emmanuel's father was a member of). This massacre, as Menachem Begin pointed out, was engineered to cause the Palestinian Arabs to flee (thus creating a "pure" Jewish state).
