McNamara, in the Fog of War, admits that Allied fire bombing of Germany and Japan in WW II was terrorism because it was the deliberate bombing of civilians and non-military targets to terrorize the enemy population. So the whole situation of the US condemning Palestine terrorism is the pot calling the kettle black. When the US and Britain were in the same situation, they did the same thing.

This is not to justify it.

Even though I think that there is 'history' in the OT, I wasn't suggesting we use it to settle current territorial disputes. Z was looking for a text which justified a single ethnic nation state. That's essentially what the OT does.
