75. How about this - was this terrorism?

This was the King David Hotel bombing:

On July 22, 1946, when the bombs exploded, the casualty toll was high: a total of 91 killed and 45 injured. Among the casualties were 15 Jews. Few people in the hotel proper were injured by the blast.2

But these bombers of course would be called "Freedom Fighters" because they were lead by Menachem Begin. So they couldn't possibly be called terrorists could they?
