As far as the settling goes, Care to explaine the motives behind Palestinian terrorists?
Terrorism is a tactic, it has nothing to do with motive, religion, or anything else.
And come on, are you seriously using Wikipedia as a source for an arguement?

I needed to find a definition for a terrorist and wikipedia was the easiest. If you have another source please feel free to add.
Insurgents versus Terrorists. From what I gather they are pretty much separate organisation only combining or allying when their goals are the same or similar. There have been instances that the insurgents have turned on the terrorists and from what I suspect the Insurgents are slowly moving away from Al Queda.
Well the Palestinians and the IRA goals are/were the same. The removal of a supposed supressor. Their ultimate goal is certainly land but when they commit terrorist acts they are striking civilians and are not trying to occupy land through those actions. ie. When a hommicide bomber blows themselves and dozen others to kingdom come Hamas isn't moving in and pitching tents.
The comparison to settlers is assinine
