    The rebels in Star Wars are technically terrorists. Lucas even modeled them after the Vietkong. Same for the Fremen in Dune. In the book, Paul’s holy war is called the Jihad.

        To be fair, that’s also often portrayed very critically. But yes, the Bajorans are pretty obviously Jew/French resistance proxies, while the Cardassians are almost comically Nazi-like.
