No such thing as "Jewish terrorism"?

Never heard of the Irgun until I got a history lesson on CNN's GPS "Global Public Square" show just now. So I looked them up.

Curious. I thought they were pretty well known. Menachem Begin was a member and had part in the King David hotel assault.

It certainly was a terrorist group, but still following the nationalist path, Zionism had paved. Religion wasn't high on their agenda. They were more along the lines of ETA or the IRA. In short, they have committed terrible acts like any terrorist group does, but they did so with clear heads and a political goal. Todays jewish radicalism on the other hand is promised land motivated. They don't kill that often these days, since their rightwing government is doing most of the dirty work for them. But if they do kill, it's in the name of their god. Rabin was one of their victims as were the unnamed casualties of Barruch Goldstein's killing spree and in recent times the retaliation killing where one palestinian youngster was burnt to death in revenge for the three killed jewish boys.
