MarkFradl – typical revisionist/arab/chomskyesque point of view. You mention that Tehran has 11 functioning synagogues, yet you fail to mention the many thousands of Jews who have been forced to emigrate by Arab/Muslim apartheid laws, which discriminate against Jews and non-Muslims. As you said, apartheid is terrorism.
Arab nationalists, Muslim and Islamists contribute billions of dollars to paramilitary groups like Hamas and Hezbollah because they support the war these paramilitary groups are waging againt Israel. If people are funding a war against a country, then they are ‘enemies’ of that country.
In any case, nations like Iran, Saudi Arabia and Syria have been trying to destroy Israel for years. These nations have armies that are weak beyond our abilty to imagine, so the only weapons thay have are terrorism, propaganda and anti-American leftist spokesmen for the Palestinian cause. These weapons (yourself included) will only be effective as long as Israel decides to believe that the enemy of their enemy can be their friend.
For years, Israel has been trying to negotiate with the supposedly “moderate” Abbas and the supposedly moderate Saudis in the hopes that these enemies of Hamas and Iran (respectively) will offer a working peace. When Israel realizes that Abbas and Saudi Arabia are just as dangerous as Hamas and Iran, when Israel realizes that these enemies have been working together for years and that they give their war against Israel a higher priority than their war against each other, then they will abandon this failed strategy and the Arab/Islamist alliance will lose. Hopefully, this attack is a sign that they are coming to this realization.
