Ethan Bronner Defines Terrorism for You

"The man, a fighter for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine." Tell the Public Editor of the NYT that he was never a member of the PFLP but was a member of the Palestinian Liberation Front. But I have a question to Ethan Bronner about this sentence: "But he said that sometimes, “when a person’s act has been examined and its intent and result clearly understood, we call him a terrorist.”" Oh, wow. Mr. Bronner please tell me: has the New York Times or you personally ever "examined" an Israeli person's act and understood the intent and result of ONE--not two or three but one--act of murder of Palestinain civilians to qualify for your delicate definition of terrorism? One act of Israeli terrorism, Mr. Bronner?
