Comments on: Mumbai Chabad Center: Five Dead http://blog.z-word.com/2008/11/mumbai-chabad-center-five-dead/ Commentary about Zionism, anti-Zionism, antisemitism and the conflict in the Middle East Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:10:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5-RC1.1 By: shriber http://blog.z-word.com/2008/11/mumbai-chabad-center-five-dead/#comment-2315 shriber Fri, 28 Nov 2008 21:55:51 +0000 http://blog.z-word.com/?p=582#comment-2315 “True, Americans, British and Jews (whether Israeli or not) are all prime targets, as the Mumbai assaults have shown with terrifying clarity, but that doesn’t spare those who are regarded as colluding with them. And if terrorist attacks from Iraq to Pakistan to Indonesia tell us anything, it’s that specifically Muslim deaths - whether intentionally or as collateral damage - are no barrier to carrying out these operations.” Your point about Muslim deaths is correct, Ben. The Jihadists will kill anyone who gets in their way of building the ideal Muslim totalitarian utopia. However while it is true that the Muslim terrorists are targeting Westerns and others, but the assault on the Chabad house shows something else also; it shows that they will go the extra mile to find a Jewish target. The Chabad house was not well publicized in Mumbai. It was in an inconspicuous building in the city. Hence someone must have done a lot of research to find it. The question then is what did terrorists think they were getting out of deploying manpower in order to kill a Rabbi and his wife and a couple of other people at the Chabad house? They surely could have killed many more Westerners of Hindus with the people who invaded the Chabad house. As is well known Hitler diverted troops and equipment to kill Jews even as they were desperately needed to defend the German army from the Russian onslaught. Is this another case of irrational antisemitism derailing the goal of a major operation? It's important to know planed the attacks and how they went about choosing their targets. “True, Americans, British and Jews (whether Israeli or not) are all prime targets, as the Mumbai assaults have shown with terrifying clarity, but that doesn’t spare those who are regarded as colluding with them.
