The King David Hotel hosted British military and administration which made it a fair military target under the rules of war… I fail to see Hamas attacking and killing people in random homes and taking random hostages like gangsters is a parallel. There is no evidence Nelson Mandela was invovled in anything like what Hamas did. You seem to not understand the difference between going after military targets and going after civilians. Yes in conflict non-combatants can die but that should be as collateral damage not targeted. If Israel was currently targeting all Palestinians there would be millions dead not thousands
