The Israelis were apparently themselves terrorists back then (British Army Museum says so) and Israeli terrorist attacks on the Brits in Palestine eventually led to the Brits withdrawing

Terrorism

The main terrorist groups were Irgun Zvai Leumi (National Military Organisation) - ultimately led by future Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin - and an even more militant organisation, Lohamey Heruth Israel (Fighters for the Freedom of Israel) or LHI.

That's a shame.
