My only regret is that Stern and Lechi did not act earlier and spare some of Europe’s Jew.

“Also, your argument basically says that terrorism is ok. So what the IRA or any group does is ok. By that ‘logic’, terrorism against Americans in Saudi Arabia, Africa, the USS Cole and elsewhere is justifiable. After all, you were in a country/countries that are not your own. So these groups had every right to drive you out
Please therefore quit whinin’ about Beirut 1983, the USS Cole, Riyadh, the 1998 embassy bombings.”

You fail to make the moral distinction between attacks on civilian targets and attacks on military targets. You fail to distinguish between Britain’s positive obligations to allow Jews into a Jewish State and America’s passive failure to volunteer to take Jews onto its soil.
Moral equivalency is the basis of anti-Israel condemnation around the world, and is the hallmark of current anti-Semitism and the multicultural left.
9/11 was an attack on a wholly civilian target in a time of peace, directed at a target with no relationship to the attackers.
If you can’t see the difference you are morally bereft.
‘You fail to make the moral distinction between attacks on civilian targets and attacks on military targets. You fail to distinguish between Britain’s positive obligations to allow Jews into a Jewish State and America’s passive failure to volunteer to take Jews onto its soil.’
I fail at nothing. Because my point was obviously not a serious personal opinion. My point was to point out the illogicality and paucity of such an argument where terrorism would be justifiable. Which is why I put the word logic in inverted commas, to signify that it was in fact illogical.
My whining remark is pure sarcasm and again to point out the offensiveness and bizarre ‘logic’ (oops there I go again) of condoning terrorism.
I am sorry if you havent understood the point I was clearly making. I assumed people here would understand it. For heavens sake, how more blunt could I have been with my language?.
‘Moral equivalency is the basis of anti-Israel condemnation around the world, and is the hallmark of current anti-Semitism and the multicultural left.’
I agree. Then again, I AM pro-Israel, pro-Jewish and conservative.
‘If you can’t see the difference you are morally bereft.’
Again, you have failed to understand the point I was making.
