Israelis, including Netanyahu, celebrate the anniversary of the bombing of the King David Hotel that claimed 92 lives: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,173-2277717,00.html.
Act of resistance or terrorism? Be careful, this is a trick question.

Jews fighting for survival versus Muslims fighting to kill Jews...yeah, lots of moral equivalence there. And pointing at someone and calling them a hypocrite for one mistake, while you brazenly murder innocents for the sake of forcing Islam on the world, yeah....think about that...
One mistake? Hardly. By the way, anonymous, the people celebrating the event don't seem to consider it a mistake. Get over your paranoia, it is as silly as the Arabs who believe in a Jewish-zionist global conspiracy to take over the world. With this type of attitude, there will be peace in the Middle East.
A little history. The King David Hotel was the site of the British Military Government's operations center, making it a military target embedded in a civillian location (much as a Hezbollah Katyusha team setting up at a hospital or civillian house would be).
In addition, the team that bombed the King David phoned a warning in to the Brits and told them to evacuate the hotel, because it would be hit that day. The brits ignored that warning.
Abu Kareem, I guarantee you that if the arab terrorists 1) targeted only military targets or mixed military/civillian targets and 2) issued warnings of where and when bombs would go off, they would be treated quite differently.
Netanyahu himself pointed out that obvious and significant distinction. So maybe you should rethink the whole "hypocrisy" argument, eh?
Akiva,
"A military target imbedded in a civilian location":those dastardly Brits behaved just like HA and so deserved what they got. And Count Bernadotte was also warned before he was shot I assume?
