What if the terrorists were Jews?

This is why Britain and the US serve Israel as they know that if they don't the letter bombs will start being sent to their officials again...

Nice allusion to "Jews/Israelis controling U.S. governments" there.

I'm a supporter of Israel and I would welcome it if the U.S. stopped providing Israel with that tiny amount of financial 'aid' (that is really just an indirect bung to the U.S. military). It would be one less thing that anti-Israel nutjobs could beat Israel with, and I'm absolutely sure that Israel could stand on her own two feet in any case. Israel is rich enough and resourceful enough not to need the 'aid'.

Isn't it Begin who said "The Arabs have the oil but we have the matches"?

Yeah I do think there's a double standard. I definitely that if jews started preaching war and terror against muslims a bigger deal would be made.

If Jews started preaching terror and hatred against anyone, it would be squelched in double quick time.

The problem isn't foreign aid, it is AIPAC's stranglehold over Congress. Our politicians grovel before the Israeli lobby every year because they know who butters their bread. Any American politician who criticizes the Israeli lobby is shouted down by the press and asked to resign. The Senate wouldn't confirm Chuck Hagel's nomination because he criticized the Israeli lobby. You have to kowtow to the Israeli lobby here if you want to hold public office.

Oh, who would be squelching the Jews?

Always the anti-semite eh?

If Orthodox Jewish terrorists were the perpetrators behind the kind of behaviour we've seen from some Muslims/Islamists over the last 20 years, I personally would stamp on the beliefs of Judaism (as I do with the beliefs of Islam) if its texts were found to condone and support such segregationism, racism, homophobia, anti-gay and anti-female and terrorist sentiment in my own country. And any a***hole that would shout "Judeophobia" under those kinds of circumstances would get very short shrift from me, just as those that scream "Islamophobia" do today.

Is that simple enough for you?



I'd be surprised if this:



Wasn't a favourite image somewhere.

I would. I consider Jewish terrorist and embarrassment. It is tough enough being a law abiding Jew, and do not need crazies making my life more complicated than it has to be.

Spot on, mate.

Jewish terrorist groups do have their apologists.

When some come down from a hilltop, and drive into town and vandalize, or attack children on their way to school, or farmers in their fields, it isn't always taken seriously, or dealt with empathy or compassion to the victims.

And the fact that that some of these settlement that house some of these groups aren't illegal, is a sort of nod to these groups.

There is also the issue that they the start out illegal but is some instances, they are granted established settlement status. It is provocative.

It doesn't excuse Palestinian attacks, it just doesn't entertain the moral high ground, or not in those instances.

The other side is groups that want to celebrate terrorist history, such as the bombing of the King David's Hotel by Irgun. In 2006 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former members of Irgun attended a conference commemorating this attack that killed 92 people and injured 46, and the reaction to the official complaint shows some hypocrisy, as it still focuses on the reaction of the British rather than the fact that they still committed an atrocity and wouldn't be similarly apologist had it happened to them.

There is also the issue of the fact we have spent the preceding years fighting Jewish oppression in Europe, so it was very much a slap in the face at the time.

Israeli terrorists attacked US targets in Egypt in 1954 and attempted to have Egyptians blamed.

Trust me, that's how people of German extraction like myself feel about Hitler and the Nazis. With the exception of insane Antisemites and racists (who are thankfully a minority), most of us feel a need to voice our disgust with our errant cousins in the Fatherland, back in WWII. Especially us Lutherans.

Well, there have been Jewish terrorists. Its not impossible for anyone to be one. Look up the USS Liberty attack and the King David Hotel bombing.
