Very true, everyone also intentionally overlooks that. Nelson Mandela was called a terrorist by the South African apartheid state.
Nelson Mandela didn't murder civilians. That comparison is horrible.
When you decide to become an illegal settler, you stop being a civilian. Pretty simple.
Amnesty International refused to support Mandela because he was involved in violent resistance. History does not magically change when a resistance wins and becomes the government. Most Israeli prime ministers were once (and for many still are) regarded as terrorists too.
