Allegations of state terrorism by Israel

Several commentators, including the Prime Minister of Turkey and the President of Venezuela, have described some of Israel's military activities as state terrorism.
The prime minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, had accused Ariel Sharon of state terrorism against Palestinians and likened their treatment to that of Jews under the Spanish inquisition. His comments to the Israeli newspaper, Ha'aretz, came after an international outcry over the killing of about 60 Palestinians, including many civilians and children in an assault on Rafah in Gaza.
In January 2009, during the 2008-2009 Israel-Gaza conflict, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez expelled the Israel's ambassador and stated that Israel's "repugnant attack on the civilian population in Gaza is a perfect example of Israel's repeated used of state terrorism".
