It is incorrect to assume that all the acts of protest by the Palestinians can be equated with terrorism. Yes, I agree with Nosrati that the specific instances she singled out such as the bombing of a Tel Aviv cafe and the attempted bombing of a school bus are unjustifiable, sick acts of terrorism. However, with that said, there were legitimate acts of protest in the region at the time. Most disheartening is Nosrati's ludicrously, obvious attempt to associate a support of terrorism as a form of justice with my name. It did not escape my attention.
Terrorism is wrong.
The effect of rhetoric on the actions of others is a difficult issue to sort through. Some have claimed that the words of Yasser Arafat triggered the upheaval and terrorism in Israel and the occupied territories recently. I highly doubt the accuracy of such accusations. This is not an easy question to answer. Therefore, policies pursued by the Netanyahu administration are in clear violation of the spirit of the accords.
