There's a logical hole in your premise.  Either you're Orthodox and interpret the bible literally, and this seems unlikely.  Or you've reached some understanding of yourself as a Jew which isn't wholly dependent on the words of the Bible.  Your comparison to OBL only makes sense if you pretend that the moral norms are constant over time.  Suicide bombing, like polygamy and stoning adulterers, is not a part of modern morality.  I have always heard that, after the Holocaust, the Maccabees and the story of Massada were resurrected because they depicted Jews who fought back.  Can you really begrudge us that?  For me, Chanukah is a holiday about Jewish survival, despite civil war and constant opression.  We are the miraculous oil that lasts (no, not literally).  B'yamim hahem, b'zman hazeh.
