Funny how people would define who is a terrorist,
and who is a patriot.
If they are on your side they are patriots.
If they are against you they are terrorists.
Same acts by either side, different title given.
Would burning the personal home of the lieutenant goverment
be a terrorist act? Sure.
That's what the sons of liberty did.
And yes the British called them terrorists,
Yet the colonists saw them as patriots.
The Sons of liberty even opperated in cells

The two original Sons of Liberty organizations (New York City and Boston) quickly established correspondence and communications with ever emerging Sons of Liberty groups in New England, the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia. Typically, members of this organization were men from the middle and upper classes of American colonial society. Although the movement began as a secret society, for reasons of safety and anonymity, the organization quickly sought to build a broad, public base of political support among the colonists. Frequently, cooperation with undisciplined and extralegal groups (city gangs) set off violent actions.

When the colonies won the fight for independance,
and became a legitimate nation.
Those "terrorists" became our founding fathers.
Hamas sound much like the sons of liberty
Only the future will tell if they will be remembered
as the "founding Fathers" of a Palestinian Nation
or
A group of rouge terrorist's ultimatly destroyed by their enemies
The victor gets to write history.
