"Livni should bear this in mind: If your house is made of glass, don't go hurling stones on others," the editorial warned.

Livni's father Eitan Livni, and her mother Sara Rosenberg were both members of the pre-state militant organization the Irgun.

3. Encouraging. Of course, this isn't promising peace...

but negotiations would be a good first step.
