As horrible and unacceptable as we all believe the terrorist attacks were against civilians and non-military targets, which is the definition of terrorism (and this would make practically the entire war against the Iraqis and Afghanis a terrorist attack undertaken by the United States and its allies, following the long and inglorious history of them from Hiroshima onwards), we can’t help but be shocked by the utterings of Tzipi Livni regarding the attack. MFA briefing excerpt:
During the past days the entire world, and we in Israel, have witnessed a murderous terror attack in India. There is no doubt that among the targets chosen by the terrorists were Jewish and Israeli targets, which are viewed as Western.
The world is under attack, and it makes no difference whether it takes place in India or elsewhere. There are extremist Islamic elements who do not accept our existence and do not accept the values of the Western world. Only when such events occur do the leaders of the world understand that we are all partners in the same battlefield. It is sad that such bloodshed is required to remind some world leaders of this fact. Some live with this understanding, and some wake up on such a morning and suddenly understand that we are the target - we meaning not only Israel, but the entire Western world.
Livni continues:
This attack was carried out by a little-known local organization which claimed responsibility several months ago for another attack in India. The Chabad house in Mumbai is located at the end of an alley, and it is clear that it was chosen as a target. I understand that also those terrorists who attacked the hotels were looking for tourists of American, British and Israeli citizenship. This was a deliberate attack.”
So the military in Israel is going to follow us wherever we go. Well, not exactly but they will be there to protect us from this sick and deranged enemy that Israel has nurtured and armed. It’s as if we had this beautiful garden at our disposal and of all the things we could have planted in the garden we chose to plant cancer. Are we crazy? Who else would do such a thing?
and, they even see themselves as MILITARY TARGETS…
So, the question begs; if they see themselves as foot soldiers in the mission of military occupation of Palestine, why wouldn’t anyone else?The point of all this is that Jews everywhere are targets of the current craziness. If we are being shadowed by Israel Air Force planes and escorted by police cars then even though we are not in uniform, I think that by not too much of a stretch we are all members of Israel’s Defense Force. Okay so maybe you’re stationed at the Plaza or the King David. It doesn’t make you any less of an important foot soldier.
