Noura Erakat, professor at George Mason University, has defended the recent truck attack in Israel that killed four Israeli soldiers. Her reasoning? They were soldiers.

By her reasoning the Ft Hood attack was justified. This is the kind of deadly reasoning that the pro-Palestinian lobby on campus has given us.
Of course, we already have too many instances where journalists have called terror attacks by other names. It is disgraceful. The plain and simple fact is that Palestinians have been using terror against innocents as a tactic ever since the 1960s. In addition to killing Israelis, both military and civilian, Palestinians have killed innocents from many other countries as well-including Americans.
Sorry, Ms. Erakat. We will call it what it is-terrorism.
