A NYT interview with Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni labels Israeli terrorism against the British and the Palestinians as "romantic" and "freedom fighters." It's rather amazing that the exact same issues are labeled 'terrorism' when it comes to the Palestinians.

Your parents were among the country’s founders.

It was a more romantic era.
