I was giving a talk and one of the audience asked me: what do you think of the way Palestinians glorify terrorists by calling them martyrs and naming streets in their names? My response was: What do you think of the way Israelis glorify terrorists and name streets after them? One terrorist for the other is a freedom fighter. The Irgun and the PLO were viewed in times of conflict as terrorist organizations but in peace time they became to their people heroes and martyrs. Though I do not advocate terrorism as the way to gain independence, I urge both sides to respect the narrative of the other which may not mean accepting it and move on looking forward for peace. Reconciliation, and coexistence.
