Lakewood Fellow -“He was working with the enemies of the movement to bring it down he wasn’t innocent or a civilian.”
I find it beyond disgusting to Ok killing of civilians because you are opposed to them politically. Yes, in this world -this is called civilains. While I’m personally against the Rabin assination -he was more of a non-civilian than this guy, but the killing of Rabin is terrorism acc. to you and the killing of this religious Jew is justified. Do you consider yourself s/o who keeps the Torah?
“Those “markets” were well known places were Arab gangs met to plan attacks against the Jews. But you wouldn’t know that if your entire knowledge of history comes from googling select Wikipedia articles.
The hotel was a known place were Arabs cordinated attacks. Even a simple google search of the Hotels name would tell you that, so even you should know it.
Deir Yassin (now Har Nof), was a village situated on a strategic mountain top and was used by the Arabs to launch attacks on the Jews below. Due to the non stop attacks coming from the village the Irgun issued warnings to the civilians in the village to evacuate because they were going to take over the town. Some Arabs did evacuate. Others chose to stay. When the Jews came the Arab fighters hid and fought in the houses of the village. Door to door fighting ensued and there were casualties. There was no “massacre”.
the rest of the attacks you mentioned are clearly on military targets and therefore are not “Terrorism”.”
You have just proven to e/o that you are no different than those Muslims who condone Terrorism. Funny they say the same thing (at least they used to) we were trying to kill military objects -it’s not our fault the civilains got in the way. It’s funny how you condone bombing marketplaces because there are enemies there -it doesn’t matter that civilains will be killed also. So the next time a terrorist blows up a bomb in an Israeli marketplace -you will defend them because after all they were targeting their enemies -so who cares if civilains got killed also. And this defense of Deir Yassin that you say is ok because they were attacking Jews. So it was the job of this Jewish group to uphold the law, right? They were given legal authority to uproot terrorists in Palestine. Yes, in this world if s/o is attacking you -you can shoot back -defend yourself, but to go and play policeman when not authorized is vigilantism and in this case it’s terrorism because they killed innocent civilains. You make it sound that it’s like the same thing when Israel goes into Gaza and there is civilain casualities. Wrong Mister, Israel is a legal entity and they went in there to defend themselves against terrorists.
You have just let e/o in the world know that Zionism hasn’t changed since that time. I always thought even the Zionists realized -that that was a dark time in their history.
You have done more to damage/tarnish Zionism then I could have done in my lifetime by admitting terrorism is Ok as long as the terrorists are on your side!
