Strange, terrorist organization don't seem to pop up in countries with better human rights.
Out of curiosity, what results do you get when you search "US White supremacist militia"?
Those seem like terrorist organizations to me, and I think the U$ has better "human rights" than Gaza.
You have a point. Though the US white supremesists haven't launched such organized and open assaults. So maybe it just scales with human rights abuses.
US white supremacists genocided countless Indian tribes. They also rounded them up in reservations and then enforced policies designed to kill them. Look up the Trail of Tears sometime.
There's also the terror campaigns waged by the various Ku Klux Klans and other organizations against African-Americans.
If you want something more recent there's also the Tulsa race massacre. There's also the many, many deputy gangs in the US. Those launch organized and open assaults against other Americans all the time but they're also very distributed so we don't have one big incident to point to.
