Jewish paper's column catches Secret Service eye

39. We certainly have heard of one pushing a detonator.

Look up Irgun and the Stern Gang. Two terrorist Jewish organizations that were an integral part of the establishing of Israel.

"Later the Stern Gang attacked airfields, railway yards, and other strategic installations in Palestine, usually with success, though at heavy loss in members killed or captured. After the creation of the state of Israel (1948), the group, which had always been condemned by moderate leaders of the Jewish community in Palestine, was suppressed, some of its units being incorporated in the Israeli defense forces. Unlike the Irgun Zvai Leumi, a precursor of the Ḥerut (“Freedom”) Party, the Stern Gang left no political party to carry on its political programs."

Terrorism isn't some hidden facet of the Israeli state, its part of the policies of the state. The current Likud party has roots in the Irgun.

I wonder when the "that person is anti-Semitic" police on this thread will get to my post. Misusing an important phrase like that reduces its impact greatly. Soon the phrase "anti-Semitic" will be synonymous with the phrase "crying wolf&quot it's well on its way there now IMO).

This has likely been published to show Obama that Israel is not going to back down in any disagreement with the US.

Liberals and Progressives in Israel must be terrified by what is happening to their country under the far right and even farther right.

Its a tragedy, not just for Israel but for the planet.
