I'm very late in mentioning this, and now the entry won't do any justice to the event, but a week ago last Sunday I saw Arnold Roth speak. Roth's daughter Malki was killed in the infamous Sbarro restaurant suicide bombing and he has started The Malki Foundation in her memory.
Roth is an excellent speaker and if you ever have the chance, I highly recommend you seek him out. He spoke about the press, about terrorism, about the nature of the enemy (pointing out that "Fatah Day" celebrates an event from 1965 -- before the "occupation"), and about his experiences speaking out as a victim of terror.
Here is a small snip of audio. Listen as Roth responds to a question ("shouldn't journalists face charges of malpractice just as physicians do?") and describes the phone calls he got from journalists soon after his daughter was murdered. Usual apologies apply for the quality, but it's well worth a listen.
