First David W. while I agree with the bulk of what you write you are really are off the mark with your claim that Britian did not bomb Dublin or Belfast in response to the IRA. I suggest you look up the "littlejohn brothers", British agents sent to plant bombs in Dublin with the goal of killing civilians. Two dozen people were killed by those bombs. It succeeded in its goal of creating a backlash against the IRA in the South leading to the passing of draconic anti-terrorism laws. In the North the British secret service secretly controlled Loyalist gangs that shot, bombed and tortured Catholics. This has all come out in the years since the ceasefire.
As for Jonathan in Tel Avi what a nerve for a Zionist to call anyone a terrorist. Your hateful little State started out by the terrorists of Irgun who bombed hotels and then moved on to mass terror to drive off the Palastinians. What a shame that you treat the Palastinians as vermin when in fact they are your closest cousins. Genetic research has shown that Palastinians are just Jews who converted to Islam and Christianity. So your racism is by definition "Anti-Semitism". You will burn in hell along with those others fans of collective punishment the Nazis. For there is really no moral difference between you.
