On Naming A Son Yair

My comment on the Tablet's piece on naming sons "Yair":-

wait. Yair was a terrorist? and here I thought he was a hero of the Hebrew national resistance against an oppressive Mandatory regime that reneged on its international commitments and responsibilities, even being complicit to the Holocaust by keeping the gates to the Jewish national home closed after 1939.
