You should know by now what is my opinion on attacks against civilians. And it doesn't matter at all who is doing the killing Jews or Arabs. Ezel (Irgun Zvai leumi - national armed organization). Those who took part in the killings were murderers and scums, you won't hear a single positive word for them from me, even though they were on "my" side. However only a small part of the organization took part in attacks against civilians, most were guarding Jewish population against Arabs who were also targeting civilians at the time.
I don't like to use the words terrorism because it's used so much now in so many different contexts that it lost meaning. So lets stick to attacks against civilians. But you can call them terrorists if you like, I see them as such.
Most of the Jewish population was against such attacks, and the much larger organization spoke against them. Furthermore the Hagana and other have finally acted against the small organization who were attacking civilians.
Haganah leaders placed in charge included Yigal Allon, Moshe Dayan, Yisrael Galili, Moshe Sneh, Yaakov Dori, Eliyahu Golomb and Teddy Kollek. A special force was made out of Palmah and SHAI men, some of whom were specifically trained for the mission. It was commanded by Shimon Avidan.
The Saison unit began following Irgun members for reconnaissance. A list of Irgun donors that was found was handed over to the British. Unit squadrons arrested Irgun members in hiding places in Kibbutzim (Ein Harod, Mishmar HaEmek and Alonim, among others). Irgun vice commander Ya'akov Meridor was even handed over to the British while Yaakov Tavin, the head of the Irgun intelligence, was held in solitary confinement at Ein Harod for about six months.
During the Saison, the “department for special tasks" provided the British with information regarding several hundred Irgun members and armories. The transfer of information was conducted mostly by Kollek, who had direct contact with MI5.[4][5] Thanks to that information, several Irgun leaders and hundreds of its members were arrested and some were even deported to detainment camps in Africa (mostly in Eritrea).

Was there a similar backlash against the Arabs who attacked Israeli civilians or British?
No.
They are celebrated to this day. see the difference?
King David bombing is a poor example. They was no intention to kill anyone, read your link a warning was given but not headed:
American author Thurston Clarke's analysis of the bombing gave timings for calls and for the explosion which he said took place at 12:37. He stated that as part of the Irgun plan, a sixteen year old recruit, Adina Hay (alias Tehia), was to make three warning calls before the attack. At 12:22 the first call was made, in both Hebrew and English, to a telephone operator on the hotel's switchboard (the Secretariat and the military each had their own, separate, telephone exchanges). It was ignored.[4] At 12:27, the second warning call was made to the French Consulate adjacent to the hotel to the north-east. This second call was taken seriously, and staff went through the building opening windows and closing curtains to lessen the impact of the blast. At 12:31 a third and final warning call to the Palestine Post newspaper was made. The telephone operator called the Palestine Police CID to report the message. She then called the hotel switchboard. The hotel operator reported the threat to one of the hotel managers. This warning resulted in the discovery of the milk cans in the basement, but by then it was too late.[
Finally, when you advocate that the Arab Palestinians have a right to attack Israeli civilians you grant the same right to the Jews to attack Arab civilians.
When you support attacks against Israeli civilians, you are supporting the opposite response from us.
