Dear Editor,
Richard Cohen [“A square for a murderer “(3/16/10)] wrongly calls Israelis who used guerrilla warfare against British soldiers in their War of Independence terrorists. According to his definition, American guerrilla fighters battling British soldiers during the American War of Independence were also terrorists.
Regarding true terrorism and the Palestinian practice of naming schools, camps and most recently a square after terrorists like Dalal Mughrabi, who murdered 38 Israeli civilians - 13 of them children, Cohen gets this part right. As he says, "What confidence can Israelis have in a people and their leaders who honor the 1978 murder of innocents, particularly children?" Does Israel really want a country like this next to them?
