== POV tag == 

 I just tagged this article for a lack of NPOV. This is not because I am disputing the material that is in here, but rather for a lack of balance in what has been chosen to be placed in the article. For instance, several other articles about state terrorism give the rationale of the country carrying out the illegal acts, whether or not that rationale is justified. See United States support of Authoritarian Regimes. Also, if the article is mentioning the assassination of an Israeli diplomat, then it should logically mention the assassinations of Iranian atomic physicists that it was thought to be in retaliation for. In addition, the sources used to back up some of the accusations are inappropriate; how can the statement of a political rival of the Hamas be used for the provenance of their funding? Finally, the terrorist nature of several of the examples given are disputed; the Hamas is the best example. This should be noted, at the very least. Cheers,
