What Do
Buenos Aires and Dubai Have in Common?
March 6, 2010
So, what do Buenos Aires and Dubai have in
common? Not Much...and it's even worse than you think.
In July, 1994, Arabs, Iran, and/or a combination
thereof blew up a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, Argentina--some 87
dead, 300 wounded....innocent men, women, and children.
To this day, no one knows for sure all the
details... but Arabs and their cohorts were rejoicing throughout the Middle
East.
No international call for justice was seriously
pressed for (except by the Jews themselves); no stink was made over having to
bring such cowardly b _ _ _ _ rds to justice. No nothing.
Now, contrast that disgrace with the following...
Recently, a chief Hamas honcho received his
admission slip to meet his 72 virgins via a visit to Dubai.
Since then, much of the world has become
determined to find out who this poor disemboweler of Jews' dispatcher was.
Does anyone besides me have a problem with this?
Naturally, the fingers are pointing to Israel's
Mossad. But others are now being blamed too.
Look, the young children and others blown apart
as a result of that 1994 act of Arab and/or Iranian heroism didn't hurt anyone.
But, they were Jews...
And any Jew who dares to assert that the
resurrected state of Israel is a relatively good thing (everything in the
realm of man is relative) is, by definition, a fair target for those who
see justice only through their own eyes, denying any at all to scores of
millions of others (not only Jews) in what they see as only "their " own
exclusive region....purely Arab patrimony as they like to tell it.
Yes, there are questions about hits of
murderers on other folks' soil.
Are there no such questions about massacring
innocents on other folks' soil?
Why more time and effort devoted to discovering
who finally delivered just dues to another "militant" with the blood of
babes, grandmas, and so forth on his hands than that shown over the butchery of
those latter folks?
When these same dudes and dudettes were
specializing in blowing apart Jewish teens in nightclubs; kids on buses, in
pizza parlors, ice cream shops; mothers and their kids in shopping malls;
families attending weddings Passover Seders, bar mitzvahs; and the like, do any
of you out there in Readerland recall such depth of concern?
If it wasn't Israel's Mossad who paid Hamas chief
Mahmoud al-Mabhouh a visit in Dubai, then it should have been...
Hopefully, many more such heroes--including those
with safe havens in Damascus--will very shortly also find their way to Islamic
Paradise. |
