There was also Baruch Goldstein in 1994, I'm ashamed to say. The difference is, most Jews worldwide were aghast at both. With a few despicable exceptions, there was hardly any approval of what either did, and far less celebrating. There is certainly no culture wide notion in contemporary Judaism (outside a handful of tiny, marginalized groups) that violence against civilians is legitimate.
