an illegitimate goal.

If so, then every person who fought in the Revolutionary war, Jewish partisans fighting the Germans in WWII, or the 1948 war of independence in Israel would be illegitimate.

Personally, I think attacking civilians who are not threatening the attackers in order to force political change is terrorism. Yes, some of the Palestinians are terrorists, including the man who will have a street named in his honor. Some of the Israeli's are terrorists. But I don't think Israel should have a say in what the Palestinians want to name their streets, and the Palestinians should have no say in the naming of Israeli streets.
