The people of the West Bank have engaged in terrorism against Israeli civilians up to 2005 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Intifada - and that's not particularly ancient history.
If the Ukraine war goes on for 50 more years you might start to see Ukrainians attacking Russian civilians too, once it’s clear they have no other option.
I don't have a lot of background in this, so tell me if I'm off-base. Israel is occupying land that it took from Palestine, is it not? I don't feel that terrorism is the correct term for attacks on an occupying force.
People in the UK have engaged in terrorism against UK citizens up until the present; that doesn't justify the UK occupying Ireland, and installing groups of settlers.
I know, that's exactly what England did under Cromwell; one of my ancestors was such a settler.

9/11 didn't happen out of the blue, it was a response to american foreign policy in the middle east.
The troubles didn't happen because the IRA thought British rule was legitimate
Etc.
The vast majority of terrorism is because one group is controlling a region that the other group thinks they should not.
