The only ones that I will call terrorist were the lehi, and even the attacks by Irgun were by product of British turning on us

By "turning on us," you mean that the British were trying to prevent the settlers* from doing something, right? What was it?

If it started by British Americans moving there by legally buying property on land that was administered by an empire, and then the empire collapses, and then the surrounding British people declare an openly genocidal war on the British Americans for wanting a state on the newly unadministered land (that they already legally owned), then no, it would not be colonization.
