[1] "...The group [Lehi] referred to its members as terrorists and admitted to having carried out terrorist attacks."
[2] "... The Irgun has been viewed as a terrorist organization ... , In particular, the Irgun was described as a terrorist organization by ... the 1946 Zionist Congress and the Jewish Agency"
Seems like everyone agreed they are terrorists... But, even then:
[2] " However, Bruce Hoffman and Max Abrahms [claims] ... the Irgun went to considerable lengths to avoid harming civilians, such as issuing pre-attack warnings;"
So turns out it very easy to separate terrorist from freedom fighter. Just see if civilians are one of their targets. Multiple suicide bombing in public buses in the past and Rockets on civilians [3] in the present tells us all the story we need about the org that sent them. (See the "Motives" section in [3])
